Automation of Electrospark Deposition of TiCp/Ni on RSW Copper Electrodes
Syed, Murtasim
MetadataShow full item record
Electrospark Deposition (ESD) is a specialized micro-bonding process which is used to coat a base material, known as the substrate, with a stronger, tougher, and more durable top layer, the electrode. Short durations of electrical pulses ranging from milliseconds to microseconds are used to deposit the electrode onto the substrate. This process can be used to repair damaged parts, tools or equipment, or to improve and extend tool and equipment life. The objective of this study is to develop a better understanding of the TiCp/Ni Metal Matrix Compound (MMC) coating process on RSW electrodes for the purpose of automation. Key aspects of the process are identified to aid in developing a method and approach for process automation. In order to test the effects of automating this ESD process three automation solutions were considered and tested. The first was a Manual-Automated Hybrid setup which involved the use of a manual vibrating TiCp/Ni electrode applicator which was mounted on a CNC lathe. The second solution was the novel Actively Controlled Rotating and Reciprocating mechanism which replaced the vibration of the manual applicator with an actively controlled reciprocating mechanism and added rotational control of the TiCp/Ni electrode. The third solution was the novel Actively Controlled Rotating and Vibrating mechanism which used the rotational portion of the Actively Controlled Rotating and Reciprocating mechanism but replaced the reciprocating mechanism with a vibrational one. Observations of initial tests lead to an understanding of how the TiCp/Ni electrode wears during the process while using a manual applicator as opposed one of the novel mechanisms and helped to solidify a method to ensure even wearing of the TiCp/Ni electrode for automation. Further testing of the Actively Controlled Rotating and Reciprocating mechanism provided information about the electrical characteristics of the process and the effects of these results on the process. These test results were used to develop a constraint on the contact duration between the TiCp/Ni electrode and the RSW Copper electrode. Force measurements of the manual operators at Huys Industries Ltd, the Actively Controlled Rotating and Reciprocating mechanism, and the Actively Controlled Rotating and Vibrating mechanism were used to identify differences in the process results based on the mechanism used. With the use of this data an upper limit for the contact force for this process was specified in order to ensure damage free coatings. The Actively Controlled Rotating and Vibrating mechanism was used to specify a minimum travel speed for the TiCp/Ni electrode along with a minimum number of passes required to ensure gapless coatings. The Actively Controlled Rotating and Vibrating mechanism produced relatively decent coatings of TiCp/Ni on the RSW Copper electrodes and serves as a proof of concept and basis for automation of this process.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
From Garrison Keillor:
"When I was 16, Helen Fleischman assigned me to memorize Shakespeares Sonnet No. 29, When in disgrace with fortune and mens eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state for English class, and fifty years later, that poem is still in my head. Algebra got washed away, and geometry and most of biology, but those lines about the redemptive power of love in the face of shame are still here behind my eyeballs, more permanent than my own teeth. The sonnet is a durable good. These 77 of mine include sonnets of praise, some erotic, some lamentations, some street sonnets and a 12-sonnet cycle of months. If anything here offends, I beg your pardon, I come in peace, I depart in gratitude."

Near my hotel in the heart of town there was this t³rbe or grave monument, as so often people seemed to consider is a holy place, one could often see people pray at what must be a window to the under part (for as far as I know the upper part will often house a cenotaph, the actual burial place is in the lower part). A sign said this is the Sadredin Konevi. However, a mosque nearby had a note: Devriş Ağa Camii (mosque) ve T³rbesi dating to 1129.
This is the window mentioned above.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 231724 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 1224 PM CDT Fri Sep 23 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 348 AM CDT FRI SEP 23 2016 Dry conditions will continue through Friday, courtesy of an amplifying mid-level ridge directly overhead of the local area as depicted on water vapor imagery. Persistent southerly flow will maintain unseasonably warm Friday afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s. Surface winds will become southeasterly through the afternoon, which may act to provide slightly cooler temperatures than Thursday. The more significant impact will reside with slightly cooler dew points, with resulting apparent temperatures peaking only a few degrees warmer than afternoon highs. Cloud cover will remain at a minimum given the placement of the ridge, aside from diurnally driven CU through the afternoon hours. The primary short-term impact will then turn to Saturday as a deepening mid/upper level trough currently approaching the Four Corners region will lift into the Central/Northern Plains during the weekend. Models continue to show reasonable agreement in the placement and timing of the system in general. Enhanced CAA behind a surface low across the Northern Plains will send a cold front featuring a sharp thermal gradient into northwest Missouri Saturday night. A noticeable drop in temperatures will affect areas behind the front beginning Sunday for the western CWA, with widespread cooler temperatures expected for the entire CWA by Monday, generally in the upper 60s and low 70s. The main focus with this system will be in the form of potentially heavy rain, with localized flooding possible. PWATs will hover between 1.5 to 2 inches ahead of the approaching frontal boundary. Models continue to suggest a more progressive upper trough compared to previous runs, though the persistent moist, southerly flow along the cold front will present a prolonged rain event beginning Saturday afternoon and persisting through Sunday. Expecting to see initial storms Saturday afternoon to remain mostly isolated to scattered, as the frontal boundary will remain well northwest of the local area, likely over southeastern Nebraska, extending southwest into southwestern Kansas. Convergence along the front will present greater storm chances Saturday night into Sunday morning. The heavy rain potential will be most favored during this time. Recent dry trends will help to minimize widespread flooding concerns, though areas impacted by storms Saturday afternoon may be sensitive to flash flooding Saturday night into Sunday morning. Given the progressive nature of the upper trough, have trimmed back expected rainfall totals. Generally expecting between 1 to 1.5 inches of rain through the late weekend across the western CWA, with potentially higher amounts locally. Will also need to monitor the potential for severe weather as the frontal boundary pushes southeast Saturday night. Though instability will be lacking during the frontal passage, wind fields aloft could favor strong to marginally severe storms across northwest Missouri, with strong winds being the primary hazard. Rain chances will quickly decrease behind the front Sunday afternoon across northwest Missouri, with the remainder of the CWA drying out by Sunday night into Monday morning. Dry conditions will then dominate next week as the stable, cooler air mass fills in behind the frontal boundary. Cooler temperatures will also persist, with a gradual warmup into the upper 70s expected by the end of the work week as southerly flow returns to the area. && .Aviation...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 1223 PM CDT FRI SEP 23 2016 VFR conditions are expected through the forecast. Although clouds will be on the increase overnight and ceilings should lower to 4 to 5 thousand feet as moisture builds in from the west. Winds will generally be from the south at 10 kts or less. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KS...NONE. MO...NONE. && $$ Discussion...Welsh Aviation...CDB

Pavlik To Face Jaco on March 31, Max Weight of 170 Set
By Osman Rodriguez
Former middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik (37-2, 32KOs) has confirmed BoxingScene.com's report from last week , regarding a scheduled fight on March 31 in San Antonio, Texas. Pavlik is reportedly going to face Aaron Jaco (15-2, 5KOs) of Florida. Jaco is a light heavyweight and BoxingScene.com was advised that the agreed-upon weight will be a max of 170-pounds. This will be the first fight for Pavlik under the guidance of Robert Garcia.
Pavlik hopes to fight again in June, possibly on the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and then again in September, which could be a potential meeting with WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article
Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)

Raymond Arthur Dart (4 February 1893 – 22 November 1988) was an Australian anatomist and anthropologist, best known for his involvement in the 1924 discovery of the first fossil ever found of Australopithecus africanus, an extinct hominin closely related to humans, at Taung in the North of South Africa in the province Northwest.
Early life[edit]
Raymond Dart was born in Toowong, a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia during the 1893 flood, the fifth of nine children and son of a farmer and tradesman. He attended Toowong State School, Blenheim State School and Ipswich Grammar School, and considered becoming a medical missionary to China before earning a scholarship[1] to the newly established University of Queensland to study science. He took his B.Sc. in 1914 and M.Sc. in 1916 from UQ, taking first class honours in biology.[2] He studied medicine at the University of Sydney taking his MB and M.Surgery in 1917, and conducting his residency at St Andrews College, University of Sydney.[2] He would be awarded his M.D. from the University of Sydney in 1927.[3]
Dart served as a captain and medic in the Australian Army in England and France during the last year of World War I.[4]
Following the war, he took up a position as a senior demonstrator at the University College, London in 1920 at the behest of Grafton Elliot Smith, famed anatomist, anthropologist and fellow Australian.[5] This would be followed by a year on a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship at Washington University, St Louis, Missouri.[2] Returning to England and work at the University College, London, he then reluctantly took up the position of Professor at the newly established department of anatomy at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1922, after encouragement from Elliot Smith and Sir Arthur Keith.[6]
In 1924, Dart discovered the first Australopithecus africanus fossil, an extinct hominin closely related to humans. His colleague, Professor Robert Burns Young from the Buxton Limeworks, had sent Dart two crates of fossils from the small town of Taung in the North West Province of South Africa.[7] Upon seeing the fossils, Dart immediately recognized one as being an early human because its brain dimensions were too large for a baboon or chimpanzee.[8][9] Blasting had exposed a breccia-filled cave and the child's skull had come to light together with several fossilized monkeys and hyraxes. M. de Bruyn had noticed their unusual nature in November 1924 and informed the Limeworks manager, Mr. A.E. Spiers.
As Dart was not part of the scientific establishment, and because he found the fossil in Africa, and not Europe or Asia, where the establishment supposed man's origins, his findings were initially dismissed.[10]
Dart's closest ally was Robert Broom whose discoveries of further Australopithecines (as well as Wilfrid Le Gros Clark's support) eventually vindicated Dart, so much so that in 1947 Sir Arthur Keith said "...Dart was right, and I was wrong". Keith made this statement referring to his dismissal and skepticism of Dart's analysis of the 'Taung Child' as an early human ancestor; Keith thought that it was more likely to be an ape, yet later research by Broom confirmed Dart's theories. Dart's theories were also popularized by playwright, screenwriter, and science writer Robert Ardrey, first in an article published in The Reporter and reprinted in Science Digest, and later in Ardrey's influential four-book Nature of Man Series.[11]:41:20[12][13]
Not all of Dart's theories would in the end be vindicated.[1][14] A number of his theories including that of the Killer Ape, have been called into question. His work was clearly influenced by the mentors he worked with in his early career, in particular Grafton Elliot Smith.[15]
Personal life[edit]
Dart married Dora Tyree, a medical student from Virginia, in 1921 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts and they divorced in 1934. He married Marjorie Frew, head librarian at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1936 and they had two children, Diana and Galen.[2][16]
The Institute for the Study of Man in Africa was established in 1956 at Witwatersrand in his honor.[17]
Dart was director of the School of Anatomy at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg until 1958. There he worked with Phillip Tobias (1925-2012), who continued his work in the study of the Cradle of Humankind and other paleoanthropological sites. In 1959, an autobiographical account of Dart's discoveries, Adventures with the Missing Link, was published (with Dennis Craig as co-author). In the book he acknowledges the crucial role played by his first female student and Demonstrator, Josephine Salmons. She brought to his attention the existence of a fossilised baboon skull at the house of Mr E.G. Izod, director of the Northern Lime Company and proprietor of a quarry in Taung. The skull was kept as an ornament on the mantlepiece above the fireplace at his home. In bringing the skull to show Prof. Raymond Dart, she set in motion a chain of events that led to the discovery of the 'Child skull of Taung' She later became wife of Prof. Cecil Jackson, Professor of Anatomy at Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, University of Pretoria.
At the age of 73, Dart began dividing his time between South Africa and The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP), an organization founded by Glenn Doman. Dart spent much of the next twenty years working with the IAHP, an organization that treats brain injured children.[18] His son, Galen Dart had suffered motor damage during birth in 1941.

Ray McDonald scheduled for MRI on biceps
Harbaugh: A lot of good things to point to from this one
Ray McDonald has missed just two games the past six seasons, but he may miss a significant amount of time moving forward. (AP)
SAN FRANCISCO -- Defensive end Ray McDonald's third-quarter sack could have been costly for the 49ers.
McDonald sustained a right biceps injury in the process of recording a sack of Matt Schaub in the third quarter against the Houston Texans in the 49ers' 34-3 victory on Sunday night at Candlestick Park.
The 49ers' medical staff examined McDonald on the sideline for several minutes before he left the playing field and returned to the 49ers locker room for further observation. The 49ers immediately announced that McDonald would be out for the remainder of the game.
"It just felt weird," McDonald said. "I didn't want to take any chances of going back out there and messing it up any more."
McDonald is scheduled to undergo an MRI examination on Monday.
"When I go in to get an MRI, I'll have a better feel for what's wrong with me," said McDonald, adding that he believes he will be fine.
Demarcus Dobbs and Tony Jerod-Eddie saw action in McDonald's absence. Jerod-Eddie intercepted a Schaub pass late in the third quarter. McDonald has missed just two games the past six seasons.

White was originally scheduled to visit Clemson and South Carolina this weekend. "I felt I needed to stop by Georgia Tech after Coach Kelly had asked me to come to the spring game and I couldn't make it."
Coach Kelly gave Marquez a tour of the campus and the football facilities. White enjoyed the time he spent with Coach Kelly. "He is down to earth and very passionate about his job."
White was impressed by the players that Kelly had coached that are in the NFL. "He showed me how he develops players and gets the best out of them. I really, really hit it off with Coach Kelly."
Marquez is looking for a strong relationship with the coach at the school he chooses. "That will probably be the main thing in choosing where I go to school." His relationship with Kelly and the football history at Georgia Tech opened his eyes about the way he now perceives Georgia Tech.
Prior to the visit White had a top five but the visit changed that. The visit moved Tech up high on White's list. "This trip made me see myself possibly becoming a Yellow Jacket."
White has now decided to give every school a chance. He will now make his decision closer to signing day. "I'd like to take my five official trips in the fall so I can get a better look at the schools I like the most."
A trip to Tennessee in two weeks is the only visit that White has scheduled right now. "Coach Kelly is coming to my school this Friday. Following his academic evaluation, look for Georgia Tech to extend a verbal offer to White on Kelly's visit.

Acquired bronchiectasis; Congenital bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a disease in which the large airways in the lungs are damaged. As a result of this damage, the airways become wider.
Bronchiectasis is often caused by inflammation or infection of the airways that keeps coming back. Sometimes it begins in childhood after having a severe lung infection or inhaling a foreign object.
Cystic fibrosis causes about a third of all bronchiectasis cases in the United States. Certain genetic conditions can also cause bronchiectasis. These conditions include primary ciliary dyskinesia and immunodeficiency syndromes.
The condition can also occur when people often breathe in food particles while eating.
Symptoms develop over time. They may occur months or years after the event that causes the bronchiectasis.
Symptoms may include:
When listening to the chest with a stethoscope, the doctor may hear small clicking, bubbling, wheezing, rattling, or other sounds, usually in the lower lungs.
Tests may include:
Treatment is aimed at controlling infections and sputum, relieving airway obstruction, and preventing complications.
Daily drainage to remove sputum is part of treatment. A respiratory therapist can show the patient coughing exercises that will help.
Medicines are often prescribed. These include antibiotics, bronchodilators, and expectorants.
Surgery to remove (resect) the lung may be needed if medicine does not work and the disease is in a small area, or if the patient has a lot of bleeding in the lungs.
The outlook depends on the specific cause of the disease. With treatment, most people live without major disability.
Call your doctor if:
You can reduce your risk by promptly treating lung infections.
Childhood vaccines and a yearly flu vaccine help reduce the chance of some infections. Avoiding upper respiratory infections, smoking, and pollution may also reduce your risk of getting this infection.

2012 Honda Civic EX-L 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
ROAD NOISE SUCKS THOUGH!!! Very noisy. And there no outside air display which is kind of weird. Other than that it is amazing. I love the gas mileage and that it takes regular gas. Looks super sporty on the outside and slick interior is nice and simple. So far so good! 19.120k miles and going strong.
I like my car even though it looks like a 10 year old fuddy duddy Toyota Camry from the rear.With the Eco Assist on, the acceleration is very mediocre on this car. I also haven't gotten over 30 mpg because of stop and go traffic on the freeways in Austin Tx, which is a huge disappointment to me. I expected better especially since I keep the car in the green zone according to the Eco Indicator quite often. The first month I had the car, it stalled out twice and I was going to take it in but the problem went away. However, four months later in 90 degree heat, the car is once again stalling out, especially in the morning. I only have 5.4 K on the car and drive 22 miles a day to and from work.
USB hookup
Hatchback option! More storage under dash, bigger trunk, better fuel mileage, less hard plastics, better acceleration.
I probably would have bought a Toyota Prius C or Mazda 3 Skyactive Hatchback if they had been out last year, especially since they both get 40 plus mpg on the road and are more functional

My Kitchen Rules, The Block: Fans v Faves, The Biggest Loser: Challenge Australia - which reality TV show has you hooked?
- From: news.com.au
- January 28, 2014
WITH the Australian Open all wrapped up, the TV non-ratings period came to a screeching halt last night as networks kicked off their biggest shows for 2014.
It was crunch time for channels Seven, Nine and Ten as My Kitchen Rules, The Block and The Biggest Loser went head-to-head at 7.30pm.
The three commercial networks emerged guns blazing during the key timeslot in a bid to lure in viewers, but Seven came out on top.
My Kitchen Rules, now in its fifth series, snagged an impressive 1.67 million viewers, closely followed by Seven's long-running soap Home and Away, which garnered 1.22 million.
Seven had been heavily promoting both shows throughout its telecast of the Australian Open, so this might have given them the early jump-start.
Nine's The Block: Fans v Faves landed 1.14 million viewers with last night's first elimination round. The two teams had to build and decorate a Manhattan-style loft room at The Block's warehouse headquarters with only a $10,000 budget. NSW couple Kyal and Kara became the first contestants through to compete on the reno reality show, with the judges describing their creation as the best elimination room ever.
Over on Channel 10, The Biggest Loser: Challenge Australia struggled with just 560,000 viewers, despite the hailed return of Michelle Bridges as trainer for the entire town of Ararat. It's a disappointing result for Ten, which kicked off the weight loss show early to get a head start in the ratings race.
So now the big question is, what do we tune in to?
MKR hosts Pete Evans and Manu Feildel have promised "a big twist" this season and "one of the biggest disasters we've ever had." Judging by our introduction to the contestants last night, this year's personalities are bigger and bolder than ever.
Western Australia's Chloe and Kelly made it clear they were NOT interested in making friends, instead making an early run as the show's new villains. The 20-something-year-old besties from Perth were determined to make it known they were "well-travelled" with constant references to visiting Michelin-star restaurants around the world and their superior knowledge of what a "real croquette" was.
It seems plenty of viewers agreed.
Of course Chloe and Kelly lived off croquettes overseas! Must have been all those Michelin restaurants they ate at #mkr— New Idea magazine (@NewIdeamagazine) January 27, 2014
#MKR gotta love a show where even after the first ep there's people you already love and those you'd gladly send back overseas!!:)))— Lynne McGranger (@LynneMcGranger) January 27, 2014
#MKR the urge to throttle a few contestants has kicked in early!— Lynne McGranger (@LynneMcGranger) January 27, 2014
Rivalry between this painful pair and twins from Victoria, Helena and Vikki, is sure to reach boiling point very quickly.
Which show will you follow this year? Tell us in the comments below.

Nothing on FTA in Australia that's for sure. Thankfully I can stream from the US most times of the day fairly reliably and when I can't there are always the DVD collection. Calling Australian FTA tv entertainment is like saying Hitler really wasn't that bad.

There not bad they are just annoying! How can you say cheese makes you gag then she ate 3 courses that contained cheese and didn't even flinch! Please if your going to act do it properly!

The Caprotinia, or feasts of Juno Caprotina, were ancient Roman festivals which were celebrated on July 7, in favour of the female slaves. During this solemnity they ran about, beating themselves with their fists and with rods. None but women assisted in the sacrifices offered at this feast.[1][2]
Kennet says the origin of this feast, or the famous Nonae Caprotinae or Poplifugium, is doubly related by Plutarch, according to the two common opinions. First, because Romulus disappeared on that day, when an assembly being held in the Palus Caprae ("Goats'-Marsh"), suddenly a storm broke, accompanied with terrible thunder, and other unusual disorders in the air (see Plutarch's Life of Numa). The common people fled all away to secure themselves; but, after the tempest was over, could never find Romulus, their king.
Or, else, from Caprificus, a wild fig-tree, because, in the Gallic war, a Roman virgin, who was prisoner in the enemy's camp, got up into a wild fig-tree, and holding out a lighted torch toward the city, gave the Romans a signal to fall on; which they did with such good success, as to obtain a considerable victory.[3]

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions and basilar membrane vibration in the region of sensitive chinchilla cochleae122(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2785034View Description Hide Description
Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and basilar membrane (BM) vibration were measured simultaneously in the region of chinchilla cochleae. BM-Input-Output functions in a two-tone paradigm behaved similarly to DPOAEs for the 2f1–f2 component, nonmonotonic growth with the intensity of the lower frequency primary and a notch in the functions around SPL. Ripples in frequency functions occur in both BM and OAE curves as a function of the distortion frequency. Optimum f2/f1 ratios for DPOAE generation are near 1.2. The slope of phase curves indicates that for low the emission source is the place location while for the relative constancy of the phase function suggests that the place is the nonlinear region of f2, i.e., the wave location. Magnitudes of the DPOAEs increase rapidly above SPL suggesting a different source or mechanism at high levels. This is supported by the observation that the high level DPOAE and BM-DP responses remain for a considerable period postmortem.
Laser amplification with a twist: Traveling-wave propagation and gain functions from throughout the cochlea122(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2783205View Description Hide Description
Except at the handful of sites explored by the inverse method, the characteristics—indeed, the very existence—of traveling-wave amplification in the mammalian cochlea remain largely unknown. Uncertainties are especially pronounced in the apex, where mechanical and electrical measurements lack the independent controls necessary for assessing damage to the preparation. At a functional level, the form and amplification of cochlear traveling waves are described by quantities known as propagation and gain functions. A method for deriving propagation and gain functions from basilar-membrane mechanical transfer functions is presented and validated by response reconstruction. Empirical propagation and gain functions from locations throughout the cochlea are obtained in mechanically undamaged preparations by applying the method to published estimates of near-threshold basilar membrane responses derived from Wiener-kernel (chinchilla) and zwuis analysis (cat) of auditory-nerve responses to broadband stimuli. The properties of these functions, and their variation along the length of the cochlea, are described. In both species, and at all locations examined, the gain functions reveal a region of positive power gain basal to the wave peak. The results establish the existence of traveling-wave amplification throughout the cochlea, including the apex. The derived propagation and gain functions resemble those characteristic of an active optical medium but rotated by 90° in the complex plane. Rotation of the propagation and gain functions enables the mammalian cochlea to operate as a wideband, hydromechanical laser analyzer.
A state space model for cochlear mechanics122(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2783125View Description Hide Description
The stability of a linear model of the active cochlea is difficult to determine from its calculated frequency response alone. A state space model of the cochlea is presented, which includes a discretized set of general micromechanical elements coupled via the cochlear fluid. The stability of this time domain model can be easily determined in the linear case, and the same framework used to simulate the time domain response of nonlinear models. Examples of stable and unstable behavior are illustrated using the active micromechanical model of Neely and Kim. The stability of this active cochlea is extremely sensitive to abrupt spatial inhomogeneities, while smoother inhomogeneities are less likely to cause instability. The model is a convenient tool for investigating the presence of instabilities due to random spatial inhomogeneities. The number of unstable poles is found to rise sharply with the relative amplitude of the inhomogeneities up to a few percent, but to be significantly reduced if the spatial variation is smoothed. In a saturating nonlinear model, such instabilities generate limit cycles that are thought to produce spontaneous otoacoustic emissions. An illustrative time domain simulation is presented, which shows how an unstable model evolves into a limit cycle, distributed along the cochlea.
Auditory steady-state responses to chirp stimuli based on cochlear traveling wave delaya)122(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2783985View Description Hide Description
This study investigates the use of chirp stimuli to compensate for the cochlear traveling wave delay. The temporal dispersion in the cochlea is given by the traveling time, which in this study is estimated from latency-frequency functions obtained from (1) a cochlear model, (2) tone-burst auditory brain stem response (ABR) latencies, (3) and narrow-band ABR latencies. These latency-frequency functions are assumed to reflect the group delay of a linear system that modifies the phase spectrum of the applied stimulus. On the basis of this assumption, three chirps are constructed and evaluated in 49 normal-hearing subjects. The auditory steady-state responses to these chirps and to a click stimulus are compared at two levels of stimulation (30 and ) and a rate of . The chirps give shorter detection time and higher signal-to-noise ratio than the click. The shorter detection time obtained by the chirps is equivalent to an increase in stimulus level of or more. The results indicate that a chirp is a more efficient stimulus than a click for the recording of early auditory evoked responses in normal-hearing adults using transient sounds at a high rate of stimulation.
Validation of the auditory hazard assessment algorithm for the human with impulse noise data122(2007); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.2785810View Description Hide Description
Predicting auditory hazard from intense acoustic impulses, such as weapons fire or airbags, has been an intractable problem. The U.S. Army developed a theoretically based mathematical model of the ear designed to predict such hazards [the Auditory Hazard Assessment Algorithm for the Human (AHAAH)]. To validate it as a predictor of hazard, data from the literature (wave forms and changes in hearing sensitivity) were processed with the model in order to predict the onset of unacceptable threshold shift ( or more) in the 95th percentile human ear. For comparison, alternate standards MIL-STD-1747D and A-weighted energy were also used to compute hazards for the same data. The primary dataset was that of the US Army's "Albuquerque studies" (53 different cases) and other impulses from the literature (19 additional predictions). The AHAAH model predicted correctly in over 95% of the cases, the MIL-STD-1474D was correct in 42% of the cases, and A-weighted energy was correct in 25% of the cases. Errors for all methods tended to be in the direction of overprediction of hazard. In addition to greatly increased accuracy, the AHAAH model also has the advantage of being theoretically based and including novel diagnostic features.

Really interesting study and good follow up to another other recent study that looked at gut flora/mode of delivery. I'm hoping this will stimulate greater funding for microflora research.
Really interesting study and good follow up to another other recent study that looked at gut flora/mode of delivery. I'm hoping this will stimulate greater funding for microflora research.
I was delivered by c-section and fed soy formula. I was obese with high blood pressure by age 1. Only one in the entire family with such growth, only one not breast-fed. I have also had lifelong hormonal imbalance. Uphill battle literally since day one.
| My (food) Blog | Follow me on Facebook | Pinterest | Twitter |
It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. - Samuel Adams
Sorry, disagree. I had both my children by c-sect. Both were nursed, I for 6 weeks the other for 6 months. The youngest was small and petite, a gymnast growing up. She is now a little overweight, but not much, and most of that is a bad diet as a college student. The oldest is maybe 10-15 lbs overweight from a sedentary lifestyle. Genetics, diet, and activity factor more into it then having a c-sect!
My twins, almost 23, were born by C-section. They weighed 6lbs 12oz and 6 lbs 15oz and were breast fed for a year. They have always been and continue to be lean.
And obesity runs in the family.
The c-section, obesity correlation could also be due woman having c-sections often being more unhealthy (gestational diabetes, less strong, etc) than those who are able to give birth vaginally. Not all woman who have c-sections are unhealthy--birth has complications, especially with twins!--so you'll have kids who do perfectly fine after being brought into the world through c-section.
Could the children have been healthier if they got the gut bacteria through delivery? It makes sense, and I hope the child currently residing in my belly will come out vaginally. But, life doesn't always work out perfectly, and I am happy to see many healthy children come from c-sections too!
Our child will be born by c-section due to my wife's back problems. I was born by that mode and I can categorically say the biggest factor in my being overweight is pure gluttony and ill-informed nutrition knowledge in the family.
I was a c-section baby (cos I was busy doing acrobatics in the womb when I was meant to be making my grand entrance) and I was overweight for a bit (like bmi 26 or something), but I have never been obese.
Gastrointestinal bacteria, huh? I bet that Chinese newborn rescued from the toilet pipes will be super fit and lean.
Or not. Feed your baby breastmilk as intended and s/he will be much better off than those soy-fed babies.
Stumbled into Primal due to food allergies, and subsequent elimination of non-primal foods.
Start Gluten-Free/Soy-Free: December 2012; start weight 158lbs, Ladies size 6
Start Primal: March 2013, start weight 150lbs, Ladies size 6
Current: 132lbs, Ladies size 2
26lbs lost since cutting the crap.
You guys, this study isn't saying that ALL babies born to c/s are bound to be obese or overweight. It is simply showing a positive correlation between types of gastrointestinal bacteria and metabolic function....that is the take home message.
I love the study of gut bacteria. I think it will one day be our savior. We have learned lots, but there is still a lot to learn. Studies like the one you linked above are a great starting point and prove direct correlations between gut bacteria and health.
There is one particular strain of bacteria getting a lot of attention recently: akkermansia mucinphila Akkermansia muciniphila gen. nov., sp. nov., a human intestinal mucin-degrading bacterium
There is one proven way to ensure that gut bacteria are given the best possible living environment: prebiotics
Eating plenty of plant matter loaded with prebiotics (food for gut microbes) ensures that the beneficial bacteria will thrive and out-pace the pathogenic bacteria present. Prebiotics are the oligosaccarides and resistant starches mainly. Fairly easy to get when eating wisely. Impossible to get when obsessing about, and eliminating most carbs.

"I love love love this book"
I love this book because it really is practical. That, by the way, is an extreme understatement.....! The author approaches the subject with clear, concise directions that explain WHY you should/should not do something as well as the HOW.
I honestly didn't think I'd get anything out of this book. I figured I knew what he was gonna' say and that I was going to consider it just "so much noise." B U T.... it's not. It's great advice. By the end of the introduction, I was jazzed. By the middle of the book, I was motivated. By the end of the book, I had already made more progress than I've made on my own in 10 years............
Apart from being terrific information, it also happens to be fun and ofttimes funny. Mr. Mellen has a slightly sarcastic (but not caustic) sense of humor that makes you kinda' shake your head, laugh, and say, "Yep, that's me!" His reading is also right up there as "the perfect voice" for his own material (and I don't usually say that about authors reading their own stuff.).
Unless you are already a perfect housekeeper/organizer, I GUARANTEE you that you will find enough gems in this book to make it well worth your time and money.
"Make your life easier and simple"
It ranks high.
There are books about how to organize, but this book deals with the person's fundamental human nature, habits and character. The author tries to change them and he changed me, honest.
He is loving and caring for those who want to change to be organized people.
No. It takes time to follow and organize according to instructions.
It really changed me. I am a procrastinator. My desk was cluttered with papers, letters and other stuff. I am no more a procrastinator. I answered all my letters. I organized the file. Now the desk is clean and I have a good feeling which I never had before. Unnecessary things disappeared from the kitchen countertop. The kitchen drawers were organized. I inherited the spirit of the author. From now on I hope to have a minimal, simple and organized life. Thank you Andrew Mellen! I read the book twice.
I have a busy career, travel a lot and don't have much time to read, so I listen to Audio books. I love reading!
"Brilliant for those that need a bit of organising."
brilliant and practical hints and tips to organise your life.. and to unclutter the clutter.
I listen in stages between other books and you can also visit the website for more tips..
Most helpful!!
Knowledge is power if applied soon after....
"A MUST-READ for organization and hilarity...,"
I have recommended this book to several people. There are times when I listen to this book for entertainment value and pure enjoyment. What an entertaining book to share and listen to while organizing and reevaluating why we buy the things we buy or keep the things that do not serve us!!!!
Science writer in America's heartland
"The emotional side of clutter"
This is an emotional examination of why we accumulate stuff, and how to begin to address getting rid of it. This book inspired me to clean out our "junk room" while I was listening to it, and it gave me strategies that I have used ever since.
"Good book on organizing your life"
Good ideas that I can implement.
The narrator
Everything has a home; like with like.
Good self-help book.
Love W.E.B. Griffin! Love the Wicked series. Love historical "sagas" and descriptive word pictures that put me in the time and place. Love listening on my long commute every day. Audible has made commuting tolerable!
"Love! Love! Love!"
Absolutely recommend this book. Author breaks down steps to MAKE LASTING CHANGES and establish new habits into manageable pieces. Habits are more than a one day sorting project, and Andrew gives you the tools to develop good "stuff".
Dealing with stuff is more than organizing.
I love his sense of humor and seriousness both. His voice lends a personal quality. He is personally guiding you through the change process.
You are NOT your stuff.
Recommend this for anyone who needs even a little help simplifying or streamlining a busy life as well as for anyone who is ready to tackle a major life change from hoarder to freedom from stuff.
Joy King
"Great Listen; Where Did I put My Keys?????"
Yes, this book gives you tricks that you will take away and use. I learned to put my keys in the same place every night and I learned to not travel between rooms unless I am carrying something with me. He helps you to get organized step by step.
Dunno, Its in a class of its own!
His passion about getting organized comes through in his sincere vocal patterns!
The only extreme reaction I had is why didnt I know about this idea early?
While this book won't cure hoarding issues, it gives the average mom a starting place and it paces you to where you enjoy it all the way.
"Great self-help!"
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to organize his/her life... quickly and easily. I haven't finished it yet, still employing the first couple of chapters.
"Really Boring"
I was expecting a more Zen-like approach with loads of Aha moments.
I wouldn't take that task on.
It just wasn't my thing at all. Way too condescending & boring. I have now listened to 7 other Audible books an loved them all. This is the first one I gave up on.

Three Berkeley County students were selected for a two-week leadership and science camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Alabama.
Dylan Davidson and Arielle Placek of Goose Creek High, and Nathan Miller of Stratford High went to the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy, which began Feb. 21.
The students are among 304 students from 38 countries and 33 U.S. states and territories in attendance.
The academy uses interactive technology, science-oriented workshops and team exercises to teach children of Honeywell employees between the ages of 16-18 leadership skills in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Students engaged in team-building challenges such as designing, building and testing their own rockets; participating in simulated astronaut training, shuttle missions and a moonwalk; and conducting DNA extraction experiments on fruit. See more photos on Page 6A.

RE: John William Kornegay, Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Bibb County, Alabama
Michael, I have seen the Kornegay name several times in my search of information related to Perry County, Alabama. Ida Maranda and her family was the first one I had found with a remote connection to my family. She married a Swindal and a gg uncle and two second cousins, twice removed married siblings of her husband. Her two sons served the country well so I tried to make sure I could find as many links for them as I could.

What is this supposed to mean? That all Japan is is nuclear energy (and maybe now they are suffering at the hand of it?) Because that's what it looks like, and that's just tasteless.
I fully understand the situation and I also find it tasteless.
Spent quite some time in Japan and I don't find it tasteless at all, Rick. To me, it invokes feelings of sadness and sympathy for the plight of the Japanese as their country appears to be falling apart. Keep up the good work.
I agree with RC-135. The situation is sad and your cartoon embodies that. Stay with it.
Brilliant Rick! Prayers for Japan...This could turn out to be where some of the Ocean is poisoned, maybe, maybe not....
Great Rick, make people think.
When you have to read the comments to understand what the political cartoon is about, it is a bad political cartoon.
You did a great job of morphing symbols Rick.
When you have to read the comments to understand what the political cartoon is about, it simply means you don't understand. That's all.
I thought that the interior of the rising sun falling apart represented the damage due to the quake, and when the exterior (coastal) pieces were falling out, that was symbolic of the damage due to the tsunami. Both forces combined to create the electrical power outages which seriously exacerbated the nuclear problem. Fascinating cartoon - made me think.
