Let's look at some numbers and discuss:
Indiana 14.3 12.4 2 60 39.7%
Pck Ohio st 16.1 11.7 8 45 34.8%
In my opinion, the key drivers in a basketball game are assists, turnovers, power rank, sched. strength, and shooting percentage def. Then you must consider the opening line.
The game opens as a pck and currently around 2 for ohio st.
A good sign of well coached teams are having + assists to turnovers - which both of these teams do. Indiana ranks 2 and has a sched. strength of 60. Many stop there and say if Indiana has a better rank they should win the game - it doesn't work that way. You have consider schedule strength and shooting percentage defense. In this case ohio st is better in both schedule strength and shooting percentage defense (5 percentage points better. You also have to consider the line of pck. When you look at the line and historical games where this pattern was present - meaning both teams had a positive assist to turnover ratio, the away team has a better rank but the home team is better in sched strength and had a better def. - it all points to the home team (ohio st) winning this game. They should cover the 2 pt spread. good luck all. The numbers I use are home and away stats - not cumulative.

It was a victory for private giving to private schools after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on an Arizona case Monday.
In a 5-to-4 ruling, the justices said that Arizona taxpayers who filed a lawsuit to block the tax break have no legal claim because they are not forced to contribute to the state program that sends money to the religious schools.
The American Civil Liberties Union represented the plantiffs attempting to block the tax break.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing the majority opinion, rejected the idea that the money at issue belongs to the state.
"Contributions result from the decisions of private taxpayers regarding their own funds," he wrote.
Supporters of the tax breaks warned a ruling in the other direction would have someday been used to kill off tax breaks for charitable donations to anything of a religious nature.
"Giving to churches would be unconstitutional because the government's money would be going to the church. And so their argument is incredible in the idea of them thinking the government owns all of our money," Kelly Shackelford, the president and chief executive officer of the Liberty Institute said.
"And number two, the result would be incredible in that it would strike down giving to any religious organization or church," Shackelford added.
Justice Elena Kagan dissented, along with three other liberal justices.

The memorial cross at the center of a 22-year legal battle was ruled unconstitutional on Tuesday by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Mount Soledad memorial cross, located in the desert near La Jolla, Calif., was built in 1952 to honor American veterans of the Korean War.
In its ruling the court said the 43-foot cross conveys a message of government endorsement of religion that violates the Constitution.
The American Civil Liberties Union has fought to have the cross removed. They have argued it should not be on public land.
In 2008, U.S. District Judge Larry Burns disagreed and ruled the cross is more of a secular memorial to war veterans than a statement promoting religion.
"You know I'm disappointed but I'm not surprised," said attorney Charles Limandri, who represents a group of cross supporters called San Diegans for the Mount Soledad National War Memorial.
Attorney James McElroy has fought against the cross 15 years.
"It's a great day for the Constitution," McElroy said. "It's a great day for religious tolerance."
The court said modifications can be made to the memorial make it constitutional, but didn't specify what the changes might be. A cross could still be a part of the veterans memorial.
"The court was saying it's not up to us at this point to say, 'Take the cross down tomorrow,'" McElroy said.
Supporters of the cross were outraged at the court's decision.
"Well, that's a terrible shame," said Pacific Beach resident Dennis McCarthy said of Tuesday's ruling. "This is a great tribute to our veterans."
"It's been here for how many years and its part of the community," said San Diegan Annette Kunkel. "It should stay."
"I read it as being very political and agenda driven," Limandri said. "As opposed to a real legal scholarly decision."
"I think that's a little demeaning to the court," McElroy said. "Judges just try very hard to follow the constitution."
The ruling will almost certainly be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mercy Murguia cruised in the Democratic primary Tuesday for Precinct 2 Potter County commissioner, according to unofficial results.
With all precincts reporting, Murguia led with 61 percent of the vote, besting Johnny Flores, Ricky Cantu and Tony Renteria. None of her primary opponents gained more than 19 percent of the vote.
"It's a very, very, humbling feeling," Murguia said. "It's one thing to be appointed and quite another to have your community rally around you."
Murguia, 32, was appointed to the Precinct 2 seat in November following the death of longtime commissioner Manny Perez in October.
Murguia is slated to face unopposed Republican Fabian Tankesly in November.
This November's Precinct 2 commissioner will decide who will fill the seat's unexpired term, which ends in December 2014. Perez, who had held the seat since 1987, was re-elected in November 2010.
Precinct 2 mostly covers east Amarillo.
Murguia campaigned on a platform of improving transparency and making sure needs such as rural fire equipment receive adequate funding. She also has established a goal to see that the $7-million Grand Street bridge project is completed this year and supports a plan to repair numerous structural problems at the District Courts building at 501 S. Fillmore St.
"Some of the questions I've gotten included, 'How are you going to replace your predecessor?" Murguia said. "I told them my job is not to replace him. My job is to continue that passion (Perez had) and be really progressive and help the community rally around each other. Some of the projects passed down to me are continuations of his work."
Murguia said she attempted to increase transparency by hosting town hall meetings to educate Precinct 2 residents on the county government process. She said she hosted one town hall meeting this year and plans to have one every quarter.
"It's helping citizens understand the governmental process, and once they understand that process, they can identify the impact they can have," she said. "This way, they know that, 'These are my county taxes, and this is where that money is allocated.' If there's a decrease, they understand why, and if there's an increase, they understand why."
Murguia said she plans to run for re-election in 2014. That election will be for a full four-year term.
Erica Ramos, who voted at Bowie Middle School Tuesday afternoon, said she supported Murguia. Ramos said she thinks Murguia could help push for much-needed road improvements.
"For the whole block, there are no stop signs, no yield signs or dip signs," she said.
Ruben Flores, who also voted at Bowie, declined to say who he supported, but said each of the Precinct 2 candidates had qualities he liked.
"I think they're all qualified," he said. "It's sad we have to select who's going to have the best to offer. Everyone is qualified."

Surgeon leaves home after claims he didn't help tragic flood family
Published 08/11/2012 | 05:00
THE man accused of failing to help a mother search for her two Irish-American boys after they were swept away during Superstorm Sandy has moved out of his house.
Neighbours in Staten Island, New York, said surgeon Alan Ferretti is staying with family members as the controversy rages over his apparent failure to help Glenda Moore whose two boys, Connor (4) and Brandon (2), died in the storm.
Mrs Moore and her two sons were trying to get to relatives in Brooklyn when their SUV got stuck in flood waters.
The boys were swept from their mother's arms by the raging waters.
The devastated mother has told police that she went to Mr Ferretti's home, knocked on the door and pleaded for help. When she could not get in, she tried to break in through the back door using a flower pot.
Mr Ferretti has denied that a woman came to his house on Father Capadanno Boulevard on the night in question and he told CNN that he thought it was a man who threw the concrete flower pot at his door.
When the Irish Independent called to his house there was no one at home. One neighbour said the surgeon had gone to stay with family.
The man, who declined to be named, described Mr Ferretti as a "nice person".
"He volunteers on the block. I don't see him as a person who wouldn't help.
"Everyone has the wrong idea. When the incident occurred, the wind was howling, he is upstairs and someone throws his flower pot through his window.
"He's already a nervous person," he added.
"They didn't identify themselves or ask for help. He finds out afterwards that that person most likely needed help, but they didn't ask for help. He's on guard after they threw the flower pot."
The incident has sparked a major debate in the US about assisting people in need. In the state of New York there is no legal obligation to come to someone's aid.
Speaking to CNN, Mr Ferretti said: "I never saw anybody, I only saw the man.
"He didn't ask to come in, he asked me to come out and help him."
Asked if he did go out to offer assistance, he replied: "What could I do to help him? I had a pair of shorts on with flip-flops."
When told that the two boys had died, Mr Ferretti said: "Of course it's a tragedy, absolutely. It's unfortunate.
"She shouldn't have been out though, it's one of those things. She shouldn't have been on the road.
"There's nothing I could do. I'm not a rescue worker. The mayor said 'don't endanger the lives of rescue workers'. If I would have been outside, I would have been dead."

Application and calibration of a quartz needle sensor for high resolution scanning force microscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590751View Description Hide Description
We have investigated a force sensing technique for high-resolution scanning force microscopy which uses a piezoelectricquartz resonatoroscillating perpendicular to the direction of the sample surface at a frequency of 1 MHz. The achievement of true atomic resolution on single-wall carbon nanotube surfaces illustrates the promises of this new technique which is especially well suited for ultrahigh vacuum or low-temperature conditions. The force sensitivity and the mechanical amplitude of the sensoroscillation were characterized semiquantitatively.
Surface structure characterization of DNA oligomer on Cu(111) surface using low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590752View Description Hide Description
The surface structures of DNA oligomers, pAAAAAAATTTTTTT, deposited on Cu(111) surface have been characterized at liquid nitrogen temperature using a scanning tunneling microscope. Four different types of adsorbed structures have been observed in DNA oligomers; (i) an isolated whole molecule, (ii) a shortened molecule, (iii) a cluster, and (iv) a double helix. The internal structures of the oligomers also have been resolved.
Microstructure and electrical properties of Sb nanocrystals formed in thin, thermally grown layers by low-energy ion implantation17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590753View Description Hide Description
We have formed Sb nanocrystals in thin, thermally grown layers using low-energy ion implantation which was followed by thermal annealing. These Sb nanocrystals showed good uniformity with respect to size and position. Both the narrow as-implanted profile and the compressive strain that exists near the interface are considered to contribute to the uniformity. We found that it was possible to control the size of the Sb nanocrystal by changing the dose of the implanted Sb. The characteristics of the diodes which had Sb nanocrystals with an average diameter of 3.3 nm showed good reproducibility. Moreover, these diodes showed a Coulomb blockade region around 0 V and a Coulomb staircase at 4.2 K. Identical characteristics were obtained for all the samples measured, indicating an excellent reproducibility. Almost the same Coulomb blockade region as that at 4.2 K was observed up to a temperature as high as 100 K even for a diode which had larger Sb nanocrystals (with an average diameter of 5.6 nm). The technique introduced here offers the possibility of developing practical Si-based single-electron devices.
Fabrication of a metal nanostructure on the Si(111) surface17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590754View Description Hide Description
A metalnanostructure was fabricated on a Si(111) surface in ultrahigh vacuum. The stages in the fabrication were H passivation of the surface,Pb evaporation, depassivation of selected areas with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope, and heating. Using this procedure, a nanowire and two contact pads to connect it to external probes were fabricated. At each stage of the process, the surface was imaged with scanning tunneling microscopy.
Mechanical properties, stress evolution and high-temperature thermal stability of nanolayered Mo–Si–N/SiC thin films17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590755View Description Hide Description
A study of the microstructure, thermal stability,nanoindentationmechanical properties, and residual stress evolution of nanolayered Mo–Si–N/SiC thin films as a function of vacuum annealing time and temperature is reported. Multilayers of Mo–Si–N and SiC were deposited by magnetron sputtering from planar and SiC targets onto single crystal silicon wafers. The relative amount of both components was varied (12.5–50 vol. % of SiC) while keeping the bilayer thickness constant (12 nm), or the bilayer thickness was varied (6–24 nm) with constant Mo–Si–N to SiC ratio (25 vol. % of SiC).Mechanical properties were measured by nanoindentation on as-deposited films and filmsannealed in vacuum at 500 and 900 °C. Microstructure and thermal stability were examined by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, glancing angle x-ray diffraction and nuclear resonance broadening. Stress evolution induced by thermal annealing was determined by measuring optically the change in curvature of coated silicon beams. In the as-deposited state, all films exhibited an amorphous microstructure. At 900 °C SiC still remained amorphous, but Mo–Si–N had developed a microstructure where nanocrystals of were embedded in an amorphous matrix. The interface between Mo–Si–N and SiC was indirectly shown to be stable at least up to 41 h annealing at 1075 °C in vacuum. The potential of Mo–Si–N as a barrier layer against intermixing between nanolayered and SiC at 900 °C has been demonstrated. Hardness, modulus and residual stress followed the volume fraction rule of mixture of both constituents of the nanolayered Mo–Si–N/SiC structure. Consequently, by optimizing the volume fraction of the constituents, zero residual stress on a silicon substrate is possible after annealing.
Characterization of bending in single crystal Si beams and resonators17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590756View Description Hide Description
Optical interferometry has been applied to determine the displacement of Si beams. Clamped-clamped Si beams and cantilevered beams were fabricated with short and long B diffusion processes and characterized. Measurements of beam bending for released Si structures with length varying from 50 to 1000 m, width varying from 5 to 15 m, and thickness varying from 6 to 37 m were obtained. By taking advantage of an etch-diffusion process, thicker beams can be fabricated which have less bending due to stress gradients. A 6.0-m-thick cantilevered beam had a deflection of 11.2 m due to stress gradients, while a 36.7-m-thick beam had a deflection of only 0.3 m. Beams fabricated using a dissolved wafer process with a 12 h B diffusion were found to bend the same amount as those fabricated with a 4 h diffusion. This indicates that bending in doped Si beams not only depends on the gradients in the B concentrations, it could also be related to the distribution of dislocations. Using the deep-etch shallow-diffusion process, resonating elements that are 20 m long, 4 m wide, and 28 m thick were found to be perfectly flat without any bending.
In situ ellipsometric study of the formation process of metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy-grown quantum dots17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590757View Description Hide Description
Our in situellipsometry study of metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy-grown quantum dot(QD) structures showed that the Δ–Ψ trajectory of the ellipsometric signal in Stranski–Krastanow QDgrowth sharply differs from that in layer-by-layer growth. When QD formation starts, Δ rapidly decreases, inflecting the Δ–Ψ trajectory. This indicates increased scattering loss, deduced from increased surface roughness produced in the transition from two- to three-dimensional surface morphology.Ex situatomic force microscopy and photoluminescence results correspond well to the ellipsometric signal at the start of QD formation. Based on these results, we discuss growth-dependentQD formation processes such as QD formation onset and growth mode transition.
High temperature reaction of nitric oxide with Si surfaces: Formation of Si nanopillars through nitride masking and oxygen etching17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590758View Description Hide Description
In this article, we report the fabrication of Si nanopillars by surface reaction with nitric oxide (NO) at high temperature. NO was leaked onto clean Si surfaces, at a temperature of ∼850 °C, in ultrahigh vacuum chamber and examined in situ by x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, low energy electron diffraction, and ex situ by atomic force microscopy. NO molecules dissociate on the surface and nitrogen atoms thus produced form nitride islands. These islands act as protective masks for the etching of Si by the oxygen atoms, through the desorption of SiO species. Occurrences of these two simultaneous processes results in the formation of nanometer sized Si pillars (typical basewidth 100–150 nm and height 5–15 nm) capped by silicon nitride. These pillar structures are separated by clean Si areas as shown by the clear presence of two domains. We also show that the height of these Si pillars can be increased by ex situ chemical etching.
Low energy electron beam decomposition of metalorganic precursors with a scanning tunneling microscope at ambient atmosphere17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590759View Description Hide Description
Electron beam induced decomposition of metalorganic precursor substances with a scanning tunneling microscope is a convenient way to create nanometer-sized structures. Up to now, the application was limited due to the necessity of vacuum conditions. In this contribution, we report experiments to form metallic nanostructures by the decomposition of dimethylgold(III)-trifluoro-acetylacetonate and cyclopentadienylplatin(IV)-trimethyl on graphite and indium–tin–oxide coatedglass substrates at ambient atmosphere. Small hillocks with diameters down to 30 nm and heights of 10 nm and wire-shaped structures were produced. The amount of the deposited material depends on the energy and the dose of the electrons. A threshold voltage was found for both materials.
Two-dimensional dopant profiling of patterned Si wafers using phase imaging tapping mode atomic force microscopy with applied biases17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590760View Description Hide Description
Tapping mode atomic force microscopy with applied bias was used to spatially resolve areas of different doping type on Si wafers patterned with photolithography and subsequent ion implantation. The application of a direct current bias between cantilever and sample during the measurement produces Coulomb (electrostatic) forces, whose magnitude depends on the spatial variation of the doping density. This effect was utilized to detect areas of different doping type by monitoring the phase angle between the driving frequency and the cantilever response while scanning areas of different doping density. In this article we present a series of measurements at various bias voltages demonstrating that the observed phase contrast between differently doped areas is directly connected to the bias induced surface potential (band bending) present on these areas. To investigate the contrast mechanism quantitatively, we also measured deflection (force), amplitude and phase versus distance curves for a typical cantilever with an applied bias on a goldthin film. This allowed correlation between phase contrast observed and the actual Coulomb force measured.
Fabrication of a microcavity structure with a polyimide thin film prepared by vacuum deposition polymerization17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590761View Description Hide Description
A microcavitystructure has been fabricated in which a polyimide layer with thickness on the order of the wavelength of light was sandwiched in between dielectricmirrors by using vacuum depositionpolymerization (VDP). We deposited a 330-nm-thick polyimide layer through a polymerization reaction between two mutually reactive monomers evaporated onto a dielectricmirror consisting of multistacks. In the middle of the VDP process we deposited tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (ALQ) so that a sublayer 30%-doped with ALQ was inserted within the polyimide layer. Upon the polyimide layer we coated a dielectricmirror consisting of multistacks. The mirrors were designed to have a broad high reflection band (stop band) with a reflectivity maximum of ∼90% at 530 nm. Fabrication of a microcavity was considered to be successful based on its optical properties. Within the stop band a sharp transmission band with a width of 8 nm appeared due to Fabry–Perot resonance. Correspondingly, ALQ photoluminescence became narrowed by the same width. We characterized the cavity resonance modes using a model considering penetration of the optical field into the dielectric layers.
Low voltage electron beam lithography in PMMA17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590762View Description Hide Description
We have studied low voltage (1–2 kV) electron beam lithography processes in PMMA and compared them to conventional high voltage processing. We looked at the deposited metal after liftoff as well as directly imaging resist profiles by atomic force microscopy. As expected, the proximity effects were greatly reduced. The forward scattering was found to increase at low voltage. The study of developed resist profiles showed that linewidth versus dose has a single Gaussian functional form, proving that forward scattering plays the major role in line broadening. The effective Gaussian linewidth is 60 nm at 1 kV in a 50 nm resist layer. Modeling of the lithographic process showed a significant increase in resolution and process latitude for thinner resists.
Surface roughness development during photoresist dissolution17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590763View Description Hide Description
The minimization of nanoscale roughness in patterned images has become a priority for the process of photolithography in the production of microprocessors. In order to probe the molecular basis for surface roughness, the development of photoresist has been simulated through application of the critical-ionization model to a three-dimensional molecular lattice representation of the polymer matrix. The model was adapted to describe chemically amplified photoresists of the sort now commonly used in microlithography. Simulations of the dependence of the dissolution rate and surface roughness on the degree of polymerization, polydispersity, and fractional deprotection agree with experimental results. Changes in surface roughness are shown to correlate with the length of the experimentally observed induction period. Model predictions for the effect of void fraction and developer concentration on roughness are also presented. Observations of differences in the effect of developer concentration on top-surface and sidewall roughness are explained by a critical development time predicted by the simulation.
Relations between the solubility speed and the electrical conductivity of phenol novolak polymer solutions17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590764View Description Hide Description
Relations between the solubility speed of phenol novolak resins which are typical photoresist base polymers, with the ac-electrical conductivity of their polymer solutions were studied. Strong correlations between these quantities were found. These relations were found to be affected by the concentration of the solution and the measured temperature. It is suggested to use such relations to predict the solubility speed of photosensitive novolak polymers by measuring their ac-electrical conductivity instead of measuring the solubility speed directly.
Low-stress W/Cr films for SCALPEL® mask scattering layers17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590841View Description Hide Description
I describe the development of low-stress W/Cr bilayer films, for use as SCALPEL® mask scattering layers. These films are produced by dc magnetron sputtering in argon, and consist of 25–50-nm-thick W layers deposited onto 5–10-nm-thick Cr layers. X-ray reflectance analysis is used to measure the thicknesses of the individual W and Cr layers with subangstrom precision; surface and interface roughnesses,film densities, and also the thickness of the tungsten–oxide overlayer which forms after exposure to air are determined by this technique as well. Film stress, which is measured using the wafer curvature technique, is controlled by adjusting the deposition conditions such that the Cr layers are in tension while the W layers are in compression (and thus have high density and low surface roughness), so that the net stress in the bilayer is balanced near zero. I present data that illustrates how the net stress in these films varies with argon pressure, background pressure (i.e., partial pressure of residual gases present in the vacuum chamber), and Cr layer thickness. I also show how the stress depends on the composition of the substrate: i.e., stresses measured in filmsdeposited onto Si wafers are systematically higher (by several hundred MPa) than the stresses measured for the same filmsdeposited onto silicon–nitride-coated Si wafers. I discuss the implication of these results with regard to the production of high-quality SCALPEL® mask blanks for sub 0.12 μm lithography.
Microelectron gun integrating a point-source cathode17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590765View Description Hide Description
A structure integrating a sharp field emission tip inside a coaxial structure with an overall diameter as small as 60 μm is described. It can emit nA electron current with a minimum kinetic energy of 50 eV. It is demonstrated that this structure behaves like an electron gun and is able to produce a low-energy, divergent and highly coherent electron beam at distances as small as 100 μm from the tip.
Low brightness and high emittance electron gun for a reducing image projection system17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590766View Description Hide Description
An electron gun for an accelerating voltage of 100 kV to be operated under space charge limited condition is designed, and its emittance and brightness are calculated. To obtain low brightness, a Pierce-type electron gun with a Wehnelt electrode and a control anode is adopted. Choosing a low value of the ratio between anode and cathode curvatures reduces the electric field strength at the cathode. A maximum emittance of 1.8 mm mrad and a minimum brightness of 350 are obtained under the above conditions with a cathode diameter of 1.66 mm. The radius of the Wehnelt aperture and its axial position are optimized. The effects of deviations of the shapes of the Wehnelt and control electrodes from concentric sphere are studied. It is found that in the space between the anode and the control anode the electrodes must be spherical up to an angle of at least whereas in the space between the Wehnelt electrode and the control anode the electrodes must be spherical up to an angle of at least
Generalization of electrostatic lens characteristics using the Picht ray trajectories17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590767View Description Hide Description
Paraxial electron/ion trajectories in rotationally symmetric fields are analyzed in the Picht space to derive analytical forms of thin lens characteristics such as focal length F, magnification M, and chromatic and spherical aberration coefficients and Dimensionless forms of and which are determined only by the normalized lens-potential distribution, are derived to evaluate the lens. Here, T is the lens thickness and is the distance from the object to the lens. As to bipotential or unipotential lenses composed of electrodes facing each other symmetrically, it is found that the accelerating mode at and the decelerating mode at have relationships of and where and are the 1st and 2nd electrode potentials, respectively. Under constant lens fields, the known M-dependent and expressions, i.e., and are analytically derived also in the present approach.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of oxide-masked organic polymers etched in high density plasmas using gas mixtures17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590768View Description Hide Description
Top surface imaging processes are considered as attractive schemes for future lithographic processes. A major issue associated with these schemes is the dry development step which implies the obtention of anisotropic resist profiles. This anisotropy is achieve by adding to gas mixtures. In this work, oxide-masked organic resist features are etched in high density plasma sources using gas mixtures. The chemical constituents present on the tops, sidewalls, and bottoms of the etched features are determined by quasi in situx-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).XPSanalyses show that when using gas mixtures, a thin passivation layer is formed on the sidewalls of the polymer features. This layer is mainly formed by sulfur atoms present on the polymer surface in elemental state or bonded to carbon atoms. This film is thick enough to minimize the spontaneous etching reaction of oxygen atoms with the organic resist. Samples are also analyzed after air exposure in order to determine the air-induced modification of the reactive layers formed during the dry development step. XPSanalyses show that the sulfur-based passivation layer formed during the etch process interact with water moisture to form sulfur-based acids.
Fabrication and characterization of chromium based single-electron transistors with evaporated chromium oxide barrier tunnel junctions17(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/1.590769View Description Hide Description
We fabricated chromium based single-electron transistors comprising small-area tunnel junctions with an evaporated chromium oxide barrier. The transistors are fabricated using e-beam lithography with a bilayer resist and two-angle shadow evaporation. We describe the fabrication process and discuss the device characteristics.

WAILUKU - The King Kekaulike High School girls basketball team got a pleasant surprise at just the right time.
Linzee Buwa came off the bench to score 16 points and Na Alii forced 27 turnovers behind a full-court press in a 63-33 victory over Maui High in the Maui Interscholastic League Division I second-place playoff game on Saturday at the Baldwin gym.
"I was ready to play every single quarter, every single second the coach puts me in," said Buwa, a 6-foot sophomore.

King Kekaulike (9-5) will join league champion Lahainaluna in the D-I state tournament, which starts Feb. 7.
"To our school and our team it is very important," said Na Alii coach Cy Peters. "That's one of the goals we set early in the season. We wanted to get to the state tournament."
King Kekaulike will be making its second state tournament appearance - the other came in 2011.
" I felt like my team could have made it all four years, but we didn't," said senior Brandi Carillo. "This year we made it because our team worked together."
The teams had split their previous four meetings, with the Sabers winning a league tournament semifinal game Thursday.
This time around, King Kekaulike made adjustments to its defense.
"The first time we were denying, so we weren't looking at the ball when it was getting passed in," Carillo said. "This time we were looking at the ball, so once it came in we knew when to trap and when to go into the passing lanes."
Maui High (7-8) committed 21 turnovers while taking only 17 field-goal attempts in the first half as King Kekaulike built a 35-21 advantage.
The Sabers went more than 10 minutes between made field goals during the first half.
"I thought we were prepared," said Maui High coach Gilbert Silva. "I'm the head coach, I try to prepare the team the best I could. King K came out tonight and they put a lot of pressure on us and we had quite a lot of turnovers. They made their run and we couldn't come back with our run."
Na Alii started the second half on a 9-0 run to essentially put the game away. Brooks Carillo, Brandi's younger sister, scored the first four points, Buwa hit a 3-pointer and Keiolani Falcum added a putback.
The lead reached 60-28 after a layup by Falcum off an assist from Dasya Tavares with 3:49 left in the game.
Maui High, playing its third game in three days, finished 10-of-42 from the field.
"When you are chasing because you are behind, you are kind of forcing shots and it's not normal anymore," Silva said.
Brooks Carillo, Karlee Peters and Sylvania Amor each added nine points for King Kekaulike, which went 23-of-52 from the field.

Ron Sandler '95 hadn't set foot on Denison's campus for 17 years when he came back to talk to the philosophy department about woolly mammoths — and the pros and cons of bringing them back to life. Now an environmental ethicist at Northeastern University in Boston, he jokes that giving a lecture with many of his former professors in attendance felt like "being tested one last time."
"I just wanted to make sure I got it right — especially the things that I learned from them," he said with a laugh.
His topic: the ethics of de-extinction. As both species' extinction rates and technological advancement increase rapidly, scientists have discovered that it's possible to reassemble genomic sequences so as to create individuals with high levels of genetic similarities to species that no longer exist. Unfortunately, some species have been extinct for so long that we don't have enough of a DNA record — so, spoiler alert … no dinosaurs.
Still, it's pretty exciting to think about being able to go to the zoo to see a dodo, a sabre-toothed tiger, or a woolly mammoth. Sandler's concern though, is whether or not it would be ethical to do so. Check out the video to hear more of Sandler's thinking on the subject and to catch a glimpse of his lecture sponsored by the Spectrum Series, the Titus-Hepp Lecture Series, and the Department of Philosophy.

A Novelist's Take

We're just about done with Spitzer postings -- promise -- but since novelist Richard Russo is a favorite here on the 13th Floor (that's him at right, next to Maine Gov. John Baldacci), I thought I would excerpt his take for the Post on how he would treat Eliot's story in fiction.
He argues that the storyline would be more complex than the media's "white knight turns out to be a hypocrite" take. But he admits he has a hard time coming up with a satisfying ending -- or knowing how to portray the damage done to the daughters.
My fictional Eliot would be complex, would contain paradoxes. He would not be a hypocrite. My Eliot would believe with his whole heart in his crusades against the corrupt and the powerful and the privileged, even as he worked studiously to undermine his legacy. Fiction can accommodate such paradoxes, provided they're explained.
But I don't mean to jigger the facts; fictive Eliot will do exactly what the real Eliot has done, only my guy almost never imagines getting caught. And when he does occasionally consider the possibility, he trusts that there will be ample warning that disaster is imminent. For the most part, things in his life have happened slowly, especially the good things, and he trusts that bad things will evolve similarly. He will swerve at the last moment. The possibility of a head-on collision, swift and devastating, simply never occurs to him.
Even worse, though he knows the world doesn't work this way, he convinces himself that if he's caught, people will treat him fairly. Sure, he has shamed himself, but he's done a lot of good things, too, and people will remember those. He's always employed a kind of moral arithmetic, and he'll expect that same math to be applied to him -- all his virtues set up on one side of the ledger, his one weakness on the other. People will understand he's mostly good. By the time my Eliot realizes he's wrong about all this, it's too late. The damage is done. He has betrayed his wife, his children, his best self, and it's all his fault.

We investigate the possibility that a decision-maker prefers to avoid making a decision and instead delegates it to an external device, e.g., a coin flip. In a series of experiments the participants often choose lotteries between allocations, which contradicts most theories of choice such as expected utility but is consistent with a theory of responsibility aversion that implies a preference for randomness. A large data set on university applications in Germany shows a choice pattern that is also consistent with this theory and entails substantial allocative consequences.

Mastergardening.com Presents… A Lesson in Composting
What is Compost?
Compost is a useful organic material made from organic wastes (e.g., yard trimmings, food wastes, manures). In composting, bulking agents (e.g., wood chips) are added to organic wastes to accelerate the breakdown of material. Then, the finished material is fully stabilized and matured through a curing process.
Worm composting uses red worms to create useful organic material from kitchen wastes.

One year, during his 25-year tenure as Greeley Central's art teacher, Ed Rogers once tried to have his students create a chalk drawing around the high school.
This time, the goal's much bigger.
At Greeley's first Chalk A Lot all day Saturday, Rogers, who retired in 2007, thought it would be fun to go for the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous chalk art drawing. The goal is 3.7 miles long, and Jenna, Germany, holds the record. Rogers said Jenna's population isn't much different from Greeley, even if Jenna did have 5,000 school kids helping to break it (and the city did send out flyers to elementary school kids). The University of Northern Colorado pitched in by offering up a spot on campus, and the Block Party is this weekend, so he's hopeful students will not only stick around but do their part and draw on a square. And it's drawing with chalk. It's not like they're expecting a bunch of Mona Lisas.
"Chalk is a forgiving medium," Rogers said. "You can't really make mistakes with it. Sometimes art events can be very intimidating, but with the nature of this event, it will be social more than anything else."
If you are intimidated despite Rogers soothing reassurances, art coaches will help with suggestions, lessons and instructions, all without yelling. The chalk is free. You also won't have to do the world record on your own. Participants will get their own square. Don't know what to draw? Nature is the theme.
Rogers, who was thinking of a way to get the Creative District a little more attention as a board member, was a little surprised the city went for his proposal. He shouldn't be, said Becky Safarik, the assistant city manager.
"It was cheap, free and something fun and a little out of the ordinary," Safarik said of the event, which cost the city about $8,000.
It was perfect for Greeley, in other words. The city may make it an annual festival, although that partly depends on Saturday's response to it.
The city will pursue the record, but that's not the real reason to host the chalk drawing festival, Safarik said.
"The record is incidental to a fun day," she said.
That's the way Rogers is approaching it as well. He still remembers that day at Greeley Central when his students circled the school with chalk as one of his most fun.
"We only went a short way," Rogers said, "but we had a great time."

Information Technology and Radio Convergence: What Law Enforcement Leaders Can Do to Develop Their Members
By Lance Valcour, Officer of Order Merit, Inspector (Retired), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Police Service; Executive Director, Canadian Interoperability Technology Interest Group; and LEIM Board Member, IACP
n 1979, I helped with the first implementation of a computer-aided dispatch and records management system in Ottawa. Part of the project dealt with Canada's first ever use of mobile data terminals. I was given this assignment primarily because I was the most junior officer working in the communications section.
Long gone are the days of assigning a junior constable to help manage a major information technology (IT) project. Having said that, are law enforcement leaders doing enough to help with the convergence between IT and radio professionals who work for us?
This question was raised during an interesting and wide-ranging discussion I had over lunch recently with a number of thought leaders. It was pointed out that in many organizations, the "IT shop" never talks to the "radio shop." In fact, they often work in silos and rarely come in contact with each other.
With Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems now Internet protocol based, the voice radio—the radio on our officer's belts that costs thousands of dollars each—is, in fact, data. Old analog radios have been replaced by digital radios that transmit a series of zeros and ones—that is, data. And these data, once received at a local tower, are transmitted along fiber-optic lines, purchased or rented by the IT department of a given agency.
Smaller departments may have an advantage on this situation. They cannot afford multiple staff working in silos. They typically have one member assigned to this task, often a patrol officer or sergeant who has some technical background (possibly military) and who enjoys doing the technology-based work. These individuals are required to learn about both radios and IT—it is a forced convergence. In medium to larger agencies, however, this typically is not the case.
Importance to Chiefs
So what has changed? Why should chiefs and senior commanders be concerned? With the convergence or merging of multiple technologies into one, such as on one's iPhone or BlackBerry, radio and IT issues are at play. While traditional, narrowband LMR radio systems are not going away anytime soon, broadband technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent in public safety today.
All chiefs are, or should be, well aware of the massive push for the D-Block of the 700 megahertz (MHz) spectrum in the United States. The IACP, led by Chief Harlin McEwen (retired), chair of the IACP Communications and Technology Committee and chair of the Public Safety Spectrum Trust, along with a large list of public safety associations, including the Major Cities Chiefs Association and National Sheriffs' Association, is pushing hard for the assignment of this additional 10 MHz of highly effective and sought-after spectrum, for a total of 20 MHz—the Public Safety Spectrum Trust plus D-Block.
What many U.S. and international chiefs might not know is that the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is also working with its counterparts from fire, emergency medical services, and a wide range of partners for the same spectrum. For details about these efforts, visit http://www.action700.ca.
Once Canadian efforts secure the spectrum and start to build this North American–wide capability, the issue of radio and IT convergence becomes all the more important. Public safety leaders and politicians must constantly be reminded that this spectrum is not designed for traditional police radios but for broadband data. These data include video, situational awareness, in-building 3-D location and tracking, wireless sensors for hazardous materials situations, and so on. These systems all require large amounts of data and a network with sufficient capacity that is dedicated to public safety requirements.
These systems also require that police radio and IT professionals work closely together—something that is not traditionally the case. At the First Canadian Public Safety Interoperability Workshop, held by the Canadian Interoperability Technology Interest Group in 2008, there were multiple occasions of IT and radio staff from the same organization sitting at the same tables. They looked at each other and said words to the effect of "What are you doing here?" The Fifth Canadian Public Safety Interoperability Workshop was in Ottawa this past December. While the "Why are you here?" question was rarely uttered, much work remains to be done to support the professional development of members in cross-training the two disciplines.
The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police Informatics Committee completed a workshop February 22–24, titled "Maximizing Technology Partnerships in Challenging Economic Times." Law enforcement and public safety officials from across Canada and the United States attended to learn and share their best practices.
One recurring theme was that public safety agencies around the world are facing fiscal restraints. The second was that maximizing partnerships does not mean with only external agencies—it means also internally, as agencies leverage the full capabilities of all their staffs.
What Chiefs Can Do
So what can law enforcement leaders do? First and foremost, as with most problems, chiefs must take stock of the current state of their agencies. A great way to do this is to begin developing an interoperability strategic plan or an information management strategic plan. This plan should include the following components:
Clearly, one of the action plans should deal with how best to support staff in professional development. Another action plan should deal with how a chief plans on measuring performance and related human resource management issues. Staff should be active participants in the entire process, not just in the professional development action plans. The IACP Webber Seavey Award for Quality in Law Enforcement is a worthy model to consider when developing a strategic plan, as it forces one to think about exactly how performance will be measured.
Chiefs have multiple opportunities and options for improving technology and communications. The first step can be as simple as reviewing the organizational chart. To whom do IT and radio staff report? If a systemic issue exists, a slight change in reporting structures could spur improvement.
Second, chiefs might consider amalgamating IT and radio shops into one, if they are currently separate. This could yield a new information and communications technology division with one supervisor overseeing the various professionals. This could help encourage cooperation in support of the joint mission defined in the agency's interoperability strategic plan
Supporting the professional development of IT and radio staff in a complex technological environment makes great business sense. More importantly, building an effective interoperability strategic plan that aligns with an agency's strategic plan will not only support a team's development, but will also help to ensure an organization is well-positioned to deal with future challenges and opportunities. ■

Looking for a package or similar for a text format form
Hi! I'm asking this because I'm not sure what to call it that I'm looking for. I've tried Googleing for some things but it doesn't turn up anything intereserting.
It's simple enough what I'm looking for: For my web-page instead of pages in sepparate files I'm going to store the text and title of the pages in my database. When you click a link instead of loading a new HTML-file it gets the content from the database. There will also be a form to quickly create new pages.
It would be very easy if I just wrote HTML-tags in the pages but I want something like the post forms all forums have to make it fast and easy to update the site without any HTML-knowledge. I supose it's not too much job to make one myself, but the task seem so ordinary I get the feeling there're thousands but I'm using the wrong key words.
I don't know, a tutorial to make a post form? Or if the task isn't quite so trivial an actual open source project?
Thanks for any reply!

Authentic St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake
Total Time
Prep 25 mins
Cook 1 hr 45 mins
There are many great gooey butter cake recipes out there but this is different from the cake mix variety because it has a yeast dough bottom. I grew up eating these cakes from a little bakery in Clayton, Mo and this recipe is as close to those as I've ever come across.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 (1/4 ounce) envelope dry yeast
- 1⁄2 cup warm milk
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Gooey Butter
- 2 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 1⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- powdered sugar (to garnish)
- For Dough:.
- In large bowl cream sugar, shortening and salt until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and beat well 1 minute until well blended.
- Dissolve yeast in the warm milk.
- Add flour, then milk-yeast mix and the vanilla to the sugar mixture.
- Mix 3 minutes. (Use dough hook if possible).
- Turn dough onto lightly floured board and knead 1 minute.
- Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel.
- Set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
- Than divide dough into 2 equal pieces.
- Pat (or use a rolling pin)each half into a circle about the size of the cake pan. (I usually use two 9" cake pans. Springform pans can also be used.).
- Transfer dough to each pan and pat up the sides so the gooey butter doesn't run underneath.
- Prick a few times with a fork to keep from bubbling up during baking.
- For gooey butter:.
- In large bowl, combine sugar, butter and salt.
- Add egg and corn syrup.
- Mix enough to blend well.
- Add the flour, water and vanilla, mixing well.
- Divide the gooey butter in 2 equal parts.
- Spread over dough in each pan.
- Let stand for 20 minutes.
- While cakes are standing, preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until topping starts to turn golden.
- Do not over bake or the topping will not be gooey.
- Let cakes cool completely on wire rack.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
- Serve at room temperature and store uneaten cakes in fridge.

I grew up in the St. Louis area. I'm 62 years old, so I've had more than my share of real St. Louis Gooey Butter Cakes, and this recipe doesn't even come close. I spent a whole afternoon preparing it, and ended up throwing it out. It not only didn't taste like Gooey Butter Cake, it was awful.
Ok. I grew up in St. Louis. On his way home from work at 5 a.m. my dad would pick up Gooey Butter cakes from a bakery on Telegraph Rd close to Lemay Ferry Rd. (A mom and pop storefront no longer in business) It was comparable to the other bakeries in the area. I made this recipe today for my son's birthday and he thinks it's awesome but doesn't know really how it's supposed to taste. The center has a flour taste and is hard on the top and gooey and pasty inside. The cake is definitely missing something, perhaps cream cheese? It should NOT taste like flour. Period.
I made this recipe to the T. Though it was a decent cake, the yeast flavor was pretty pronounced and overpowered the other flavors, giving it a bit of an off taste. I also found that making it in the 2 9" pans, that they baked short and seemed like it needed more height. My dough did rise enough, yeast was fresh, etc. Maybe it was me...I dunno, but it seems like it needs a bit of tweaking to get it right.

Hi there,
Because of some projects I'm related with I wanted to transfer some
radiological information (this is DICOM instances plus some additional
related information) outside of healthcare center bounds.
Obviously this (headaches apart) brought us to look for some
information about security and anonymization, and pointed us to the
"Teaching file and Clinical trial Export" IHE Profile (which is since
2005 in a draft status!) and also to the annex E of the part 15 of the
DICOM standard, "Attribute Confidentiality Profiles". Where there's an
attributes list proposed for the standard to guarantee the
confidentiality of the patient's identity.
That's fine for me but as said in the standard text these may not be
enough attributes to ensure this confidentiality and "National and
local regulations, which may vary, might require that additional
attributes be de-identified". So, I ask:
Since what I'm trying to do involves centers in different EU countries
and hoping maybe some of you have some information regarding with that
i want to know if there are some specific policies for that at
European level? There's something "official" I can point at to prove
I'm working correctly? Or i just have to negotiate with every center
which information can and which can not be exported out of the center
itself at our own ethical criteria.
Any information or resource related with this would be gladly
appreciated. Feel free to contact me for any extra information about
Thanks in advanced,

A lot has been said about Danny Trejo's face (Current TV's Brett Erlich memorably said that "Trejo's face looks like it's wearing another face"), and not just because its leathery crags and valleys make it seem less like human skin and more like something it takes Greg Nicotero two hours to apply every morning. Danny Trejo's face is such a focal point because until Machete it's all that Danny Trejo has ever been to most people. But when I was 11, I thought of him as my favorite babysitter. From Heatto Desperado to From Dusk Till Dawnhis grizzled mug would show up in just about everything I would pull from the local video store, and when my parents went out to dinner or worked late, it was often Trejo who was left to tuck me in. So despite usually playing criminals, killers, and rapists (Johnny 23!), he's always remained a warm and weirdly sentimental presence for me - a guy whose face wore the weight of a life I couldn't imagine, but who had since rededicated himself to entertaining people (and with Spy Kids, children too). And now with Machete providing Trejo his first major starring role, I'm thrilled that the guy is getting the chance to become more than just a face to a lot of other people.
Sifting through Trejo's entire oeuvre definitely makes for an impressive good time (I still marvel at how he single-handedly makes Bubble Boy watchable, and his brief, head-strong appearance in Breaking Bad is more memorable than most entire TV series), but the best way to get to know this unique Hollywood character might be to check out Joe Eckardt's Champion, an award-winning documentary that chronicles Trejo's journey from convict to movie star. And thanks to a heads up from Buzzfeed, it's my pleasure to report that you can see the film for yourself on Instant Netflix. Check out the trailer after the jump, and let us know your favorite Danny Trejo role. The star-studded affair makes for a compelling and uplifting experience - its "thug makes good" shtick is a bit rote for such an unusual guy, but it beats the hell out of watching a doc about the formative years of Rachel McAdams (to name just one actor who hasn't done time in each of California's maximum security prisons). Check out the trailer below, and if there are any Trejo moments or performances that made the guy an indelible presence in your life, let us know about them in the comments.

An Australian government agency has taken steps to reduce the costs associated with cooling rack servers and data cabinets.
As reported by CIO.com, Australian Rail Transport Corporation (ARTC) is managing to save AU$100,000 (£67,000) per year following the deployment of new data centre technology.
Steve Bogdanov, technology and infrastructure manager at ARTC, said the agency had been required to invest due to its data centre running out of resources.
"We looked at traditional rack units with raised floors and were almost ready to action this," he said.
However, Mr Bogdanov explained that the agency eventually opted for a water-based cooling solution, which ensures rack cabinets and other data centre solutions do not overheat.
"To date, we have not had a failure and this is helping my staff sleep at night," he stated.
In the UK - which is usually much cooler than Australia - keeping data centres at the optimum temperature tends not to be as difficult a task.
But firms are still advised to use server room monitoring solutions to pick up on any fluctuations in climatic conditions straight away.
This helps from a risk management perspective, as it can help avoid servers overheating and suffering service outages.

Comments about Men's Kara Koram® Down Parka:
A good coat that tries hard to look like the original 1950's parka that ascended K2. It tries a little too hard. The cuffs are knit and exposed rather than recessed so you end up with wet wrists. An early design flaw that was understandable but had been fixed in most coats decades ago. The front zip doesn't go all the way to the neck but assumes that a scarf or some such will be worn. If you don't have one, you'll have a cold neck. I wear an extra large and bought accordingly, but felt like I was wearing a tent. The coat was way too long and too wide across the middle. I'd strongly suggest buying a size smaller than usual. But mostly I am nitpicking. If you buy the right size for you, this is a warm well styled coat for cold dry winters. I wouldn't go up K2 in it, but it's great for walking around urban snowscapes.
Comments about Men's Kara Koram® Down Parka:
I'm usually size M with EB, but size M for this jacket was overly wide, I'm slender, but even so it is too wide, I don't think it would fit good even if I was a large person.

The seminar will ask questions about the role of narrative in the history of sexuality. Laqueur's most recent book, Solitary Sex, raises issues of this kind in its genealogical thesis, and in the manner of its writing. Laqueur's story of onanism is a narrative history, with a clear beginning and a story of fundamental change, together with richly textured layers of erudition. Furthermore, there are reflexive elements in his text which serve to stylise the narrative, and perhaps to make it slightly ironic. In the broadest terms, In the broadest terms, it might be said that Laqueur has offered a periodisation which locates the major modern turning point in the cultural history of sexuality in the early eighteenth century, and which relates that process primarily to the history of civil society. In doing so, his approach can be contrasted with certain aspects of Foucault's account, which tends to locate that turning point in the later nineteenth century, and to place more emphasis on the role of medical and governmental technologies.
This raises two general questions:
What do we gain in the history of sexuality by organising our understanding around turning points?
What is at stake in the choice between Laqueur's story and Foucault's, if indeed it is a choice?
Other participants in the seminar will present papers focussing on these issues. They will include Alexander Cook, Peter Cryle, Stephen Garton, David Bennett, Alison Moore, Elizabeth Stephens, and Charles Sowerwine.

TNA Project Organizes Capacity Building Workshop on Technology Action Plans in Africa
17 February 2012: The Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Project, which is implemented by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UNEP Risoe Centre (URC) on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development, held the second Regional Capacity Building Workshop in Africa, under the theme "Barrier Analysis, Enabling Environment, and Development of Technology Actions Plans."
At the workshop, which convened from the 14-17 February 2012, in Fringilla, Zambia, participants identified practical actions necessary to reduce or remove policy, finance and technology-related barriers to the development of national technology action plans (TAPs). Participants heard a presentation by the URC's Regional Center for Africa, ENDA, on the characterization of technologies, and how to prepare TAPs through effective barrier analysis, and the establishment of an enabling policy environment through prioritizing policy options. They also engaged in discussions on developing measures to overcome barriers that hinder the transfer and diffusion of technologies, including the importance of addressing the root causes of such barriers using techniques, such as the Root Cause Analysis, the Fishbone Technique, and the Logical Problem Analysis model.
They further discussed economic assessment frameworks, and heard a presentation on cost benefit analysis. The latter was illustrated by a case study in Zambia on adaptation technology in the agricultural sector, which yielded significant benefits with marginal costs. Participants also held sessions on market mapping as a way to promote dialogue and improve understanding between market actors.
Discussions also addressed: funding available for mitigation and adaptation activities in developing countries; the potential for concessional loans for mitigation; the growing interest from private sector institutions; and private equity financing.
The TNA Project is implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) on behalf of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The project implementation is carried out by UNEP's Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (DTIE) and the UNEP Risoe Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development (URC).
