Quick review of Orthogonal Defect Classification
This article is a second from a series (click "View more content in this series" to read the first article). The first part, "Classify and validate defects," introduced the Orthogonal Defect Classification (ODC) concept and showed a way of implementing the ODC process in IBM® Rational Team Concert™ Version 3.0. That article covers the detailed steps needed to enable ODC data collection along with defect tracking.
But the key factor to ODC methodology success is to provide a tool set for analyzing the ODC data that leads to identification of actions required to improve project quality. Rational Team Concert provides a powerful mechanism for reporting by supporting custom Eclipse Business Information and Reporting Tools (BIRT) reports. This article presents how to implement and deploy a general and configurable BIRT report template for the ODC trends analysis into your Rational Team Concert project area.
ODC analysis process
- Figure 1 shows the main steps of the ODC process. The first article covers the phases of classification and validation in terms of the Rational Team Concert configuration. This article focuses on establishing a basic set of ODC reports that extend the Rational Team Concert reporting and are created from one generic template.
Figure 1. ODC main process phases
This aritcle is related strictly to the Assess phase by providing a direction for how to extend Rational Team Concert reports with a basic set of ODC reports that can be used for analyzing the ODC data. The solution presented in this article is as generic as possible to facilitate the creation of many ODC reports from one template.
ODC report requirements
In most cases, there are a few methods of performing the ODC analysis. The first, and most basic, is to represent all defects by an ODC attribute. The second is the analysis of defect trends during a specified period of time. Only valid defects are taken into consideration. The chart, which shows graphically number of incoming defects by selected ODC attribute (ODC Activity, ODC Trigger, ODC Impact, ODC Defect Type, and so on) in the form of a trend on a timeline, is very helpful at this point. The implementation of this chart in a form of a BIRT report is the topic of this article.
Objectives and prerequisites
In Rational Team Concert, you can create custom reports if the set of default reports do not satisfy your reporting needs. You can use this feature to apply ODC analysis capabilities.
This article's main objective is to show how a custom Rational Team Concert report can be implemented and deployed for analyzing the ODC trends.
- Intermediate knowledge of using Rational Team Concert 3.0 Eclipse and web clients and basic skills on BIRT reporting.
- Familiarity with the ODC concept, as well as the configuration to support defect work item custom attributes (described in the first article).
- To start with custom reporting, you need to extend the Rational Team Concert Eclipse client with the BIRT plug-in (see Resources).
BIRT reports in Rational Team Concert
Rational Team Concert uses BIRT reports. BIRT can be installed into your existing Rational Team Concert Eclipse client as a plug-in. The client provides the Jazz™ technology data source for the purposes of custom reporting.
Custom reports created in BIRT show many different items, such as tables, charts, labels, images, and lists. All of this content can be interactive and customized, because it is driven by the JavaScript code within BIRT.
BIRT reports provide more complex views of the repository data, including many dimensions that could not be achieved by creating a Rational Team Concert query. See the Resources section of this article for more information about BIRT reporting in Rational Team Concert.
Rational Team Concert data warehouse
Rational Team Concert exposes historical and actual data stored in the repository in a form of several snapshots that contain a certain set of facts, dimensions, and relations. A work items snapshot, for example, stores information about all of the work items in the repository, including all historical aspects that, in most cases, are enough for reporting purposes. The instructions that follow present the way of starting from a very simple report that shows incoming defects.
Start from incoming defects
When all of the report requirements are clear, you can start implementing the report. It is considered a best practice to start with a simple data model and a chart that uses this data set, and then to incrementally extend its features and the level of complexity. This approach has been taken for this article by starting from an incoming defects chart and adding to it parameterization, custom formatting, and advanced techniques for retrieving the correct data from the Rational Team Concert data warehouse. The complete report will provide parameterization in a list of ODC attributes to be selected, and then grouping of the data by this attribute.
Create a Jazz data source
- Make sure that the BIRT plug-in is installed within your Rational Team Concert Eclipse client and the connection with the Jazz team server is established.
- Switch to the Report Design perspective.
- Create a new Report project and name it, for example,
- In the new project, create a blank report named
- Switch to the Data Explorer view for the created report.
- Right-click on the Data Sources node, and choose New Data Source. It is necessary to create a Jazz data source that retrieves data from your Jazz repository.
- In the dialog window (shown in Figure 2), select the Jazz data source type.
Figure 2. Creating a new Jazz data source
- Fill in the name of the new data source. In this case, use the data from the WorkItems snapshot from the Jazz repository, and name the data source
- Click Next.
- In the next window, provide snapshot information (see Figure 3). You can also test the connection by clicking the Test Connection button..
- Click Finish.
The WorkItems data source has been created.
Figure 3. Providing snapshot information
Create a Jazz Simple Data Set
To start working with the work items data, you must create a data set that contains the appropriate data retrieved from the data source.
- Create new data set called
WorkItemsDS. Make sure that the type is Jazz Simple Data Set.
- In the Fact Information dialog window, select the table. In this case, the most suitable one is LIVE_WORKITEM_CNT, which contains the live data about work items that include custom attributes.
- When you want certain data to be presented in your report, you must select the appropriate columns. For example, when you need information about incoming defects, a number of defects, and the date of their creation, you need to select CREATION_DATE and WI_COUNT columns for receiving with the data set.
- The LIVE_WORKITEM_CNT table contains information about work items of all types. For ODC reporting purposes, you need to restrict the result set to defects only. To achieve this, select a parameter WI_TYPE parameter and then mark that only work items of the Defect type are retrieved within the data set for analysis.
- In the Edit Data Set window, select the WI_TYPE parameter and edit it.
- Figure 4 presents providing a
'defect'(including the apostrophes) string as the default value for the WI_TYPE parameter in the Edit parameter pop-up window.
- Enter
'{Current Project Area}'as the value for the PROJECT_AREA_NAME parameter.
Figure 4. Data set parameters
- When you are connected to the Rational Team Concert server, you can select the Preview Results tab to verify that the appropriate data was loaded. This preview is very useful when you want to determine which data is stored in a given table.
Create a chart
Now it is time to create the first chart that presents the data from the newly created data set.
- From the Palette view, select Chart, as shown in Figure 5, and drop it into the report design area.
Figure 5. Report Palette
- In the New Chart wizard, select bar chart as the type and stacked bar as the subtype.
- Select data from the WorkItemsDS:
- For Value (Y) Series, double-click the input.
- In the Expression Builder editor, select Available Columns Bindings and type
WI_COUNT(see Figure 6).
Figure 6. Data binding with the Expression Builder
- For Category (X) Series, repeat the same steps, and select CREATION_DATE for insertion. For CREATION_DATE, you can specify the grouping and sorting. Figure 7 shows an example with the date set to be displayed weekly as a sum.
Figure 7. DateTime grouping and sorting
- Format the chart. You can do it in a number of ways. For setting the example chart, select the following items:
- Value (Y) Series: Show series labels
- X axis: Labels formatting to show dates with 45-degree rotation.
- Y axis: Displays major grid
- Title: Incoming defects
- Click Finish and resize the chart to the required size.
- Click Preview to see the results of your actions.
Figure 8. Sample of an Incoming Defects report preview
Group incoming defects by ODC attribute
A chart that displays several defects within its open date is a good starting point for extending it by grouping additional defect attributes within the table. In this case, the grouped data must be displayed based on one of the ODC attributes. To implement the generic solution, you must provide the ODC attribute as a report parameter.
Provide report parameters
Besides the data set parameters, you can define global report parameters and use them in more than one data set. This method ensures the use of the same parameter value for many data sets. Parameters values can be provided as dynamic or static. At run time, you can show a parameterization UI and specify a desired value for it. The type and way of displaying it depends on the parameter configuration.
Figure 9. Report parameters in the Data Explorer view
- To add a global report parameter, right click Report Parameters in the Data Explorer view and create a new parameter with the settings shown in Figure 10.
In the first article in this series, you learned how to extend the defect work item with custom attributes to store ODC data. Table 1 illustrates the ODC attribute names and theirs IDs applied during process customization presented in Part 1.
- Add all of them as Value and Display Text entries in the static selection list values. In case of a different configuration, provide the assigned IDs for your ODC attributes.
Table 1. ODC Custom attributes names and identifiers
Figure 10. Adding new global report parameter
- You also need to extend your data set to include the custom ODC field value and an additional parameter. Custom attributes are presented as key value pairs in the LIVE_WORKITEM_CNT table, where the key is the custom attribute ID and the value is the literal ID.
Extend the WorkItemsDS
- Edit the WorkItemsDS and open the Fact Information tab.
- Select the STRING_VAL column.
- In the Parameters list, choose the STRING_KEY.
- In the Parameters pane, edit the STRING_KEY parameter and link it to the ODCAttribute report parameter, as shown in the Edit Parameter pop-up window in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Adding a parameter linked to an ODCAttribute report parameter to WorkItemsDS
When you open the Preview Results tab, you will notice that STRING_VAL has been filtered according to the STRING_KEY parameter default value, which is ODC Trigger, but it is not in human-readable format. This column includes only literal identifiers that are primarily stored in the Enumerations table.
Work with enumerations
To translate literal identifiers into human readable strings, you need to get the right mappings that are stored in the Enumerations table.
- Create a new data set for Enumerations.
- Provide
'{Current Project Area}'as the parameter for the PROJECT_AREA_ITEMID column.
The ODC attributes and enumerations described in previous article were created to ensure the unique identifiers of literals within the project area. Moreover, the ODC attribute and the matching enumeration have the same ID. This makes the problem of matching the right literal with its name in the Enumerations table pretty simple.
BIRT data sets, which are analogous to SQL tables, can be joined. This mechanism is very useful for presenting data from more than one table, as in the case of an enumeration literal name not stored in LIVE_WORKITEM_CNT table but present in ENUMERATIONS table.
- What you need to do in BIRT is to create a Joint Data Set between WorkItemsDS and EnumerationsDS and name it, for example,
- Ensure that Left Outer Join is selected under Join Types and STRING_VAL from WorkItemsDS and LITERAL_ID from EnumerationsDS are also selected.
This will cause merging of the right literal names into WorkItemsDS data. The Left Outer Join guarantees that you will not lose any data from WorkItemsDS.
Figure 12. Providing a query for the Joint Data Set (JointDS)
Change the chart data set
Now you need to edit the chart and update the data section by specifying a new data set as the Use Data From combo box value, and then fill the Optional Y Series Grouping with the LITERAL_NAME column value, as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Changing the data set for the chart
Set the title of the chart dynamically
You can add JavaScript code to change the chart title dynamically.
To add it, you must click in the chart area and go to the Script tab. Within the Script tab, in the onRender new event function, add the script snippet presented in Listing 1.
Listing 1. JavaScript function for dynamically setting the chart title
function beforeGeneration(chart, icsc) { var title = 'Incoming Defects by ODC'; title = title + icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getParameterValue("ODCAttribute"); chart.getTitle().getLabel().getCaption().setValue(title); }
Specify only valid defects
For the ODC analysis, take only valid defects into consideration. To implement this in your report, introduce one or more parameters, depending on how your project area process is configured, and then filter the data by possible states or resolution values.
See Figure 14 for an example of setting parameters of WorkItemsDS by RESOLUTION column to retrieve only the valid defect data.
Figure 14. Setting default parameter as a list of acceptable resolutions
Deploy the report template to the Jazz server
For your BIRT report to be fully functional in your Jazz environment, you must deploy the report to the Jazz server in the form of a report template. Follow these steps to upload your report to the Jazz server:
- Open the Jazz Administration perspective and the Team Artifacts view.
- Select the Project Area and expand it. Find the Reports node available in the tree structure from the chosen Project Area.
- Right-click the Report Templates child node, and select New > Report Template.
- In the dialog window that appears after adding the new report template (Figure 15), enter the report name and its ID.
Figure 15. Adding a new report template to the project area
- Give other team members access to your report by selecting the Shared check box, and choose the Project or Team Area under the Sharing section.
- Under the Contents section, click Browse, and provide a path to the created *.rptdesing file.
- Uncheck the Supports data caching check box.
- Click OK to proceed with deploying the report. The deployed report template is available in the Report Templates list.
- In the Shared Reports folder, create a subfolder and name it
- Find your report template, right-click it, and select New report.
- Save it in the ODC folder under Shared Reports.
- Open the report and click the top-right button to edit the parameters.
- Select one of the available ODC attributes.
Figure 16. Selecting an ODC attribute
Click Save Copy, enter a name, and move it from the My Reports folder to the ODC folder. This way, a complete set of the ODC reports with parameters set to each of the available ODC attributes can be created based on one common template.
Figure 17 presents some of the reports in Rational Team Concert web client.

This article outlined the method of extending the Rational Team Concert 3.0 reporting as a way of supporting the ODC Assessment activities. The Assessment phase of ODC is critical in understanding and measuring feedback that will ultimately influence any corrective actions needed. Further, a set of flexible and extendable tools is required to support and successfully take advantage of the ODC process. By accessing the Rational Team Concert data warehouse and using the BIRT Jazz data source, you learned how to quickly retrieve the appropriate data for analysis and how to present this data in a meaningful chart.

Affluent Lifestyle Guide
If you visit Palm Beach in March and April, a trip to the Palm Beach International Polo Club is a must. Polo matches are played there every Sunday, including a number of prestigious championships. You can reserve tables for brunch that serve an impressive gourmet buffet with over 80 selections, including everything from sushi to roast lamb. One of the top-drawer options for the event is a ticket to Veuve Clicquot's Airstream Lounge which sits in its own VIP section and includes a bottle of the beautiful bubbly.
What Palm Beach's Breakers hotel has done so well over the past 120 years, is continue to maintain its rich traditions while entering a new era of luxury. Each year, the owners have spent around $20 million to revitalize the historic property while keeping it true to its heritage. Over $250 million has been invested in the past decade, but modern additions aren't part of its current plans however.
The glamorous world of high goal polo converges in Florida on April 24–27 for the 10th annual Miami Beach Polo World Cup played on the sizzling sands of South Beach. This year the event's sponsors include Argentinean polo lifestyle brand La Martina, the title sponsor and official supplier; Lou La Vie, the exotic car rental agency where Justin Bieber got his now infamous Lamborghini; Perfect Vodka; A&E; and is produced by The Polo Life, LLC and ACT Productions.
Elegance, sophistication and finesse are the chief ingredients that make The Restaurant and The Setai Grill world-class dining venues and culinary hot spots in Miami.
In 2012 we broke the news that Roger Federer had been named as Moët & Chandon's new brand ambassador. On March 19, Federer (who is favored to win the Sony Open currently in full swing), hosted a mini tennis match for the famed French Champagne house at the eye-popping 50th floor rooftop lounge of the Viceroy Miami.
Florida means different things to different people. You have Walt Disney World, sunshine, alligators, the Everglades, and miles of wide-open beaches — to name just a few. And then there's Florida's Gulf Coast, offering endless stretches of powder white sand despite the ravages of the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill several years ago.
Luxury brands like Waldorf-Astoria and Ritz-Carlton have credibility with consumers. But sometimes, when being part of the pack works against you, striking out solo is a bold move that can pay back big time. Case in point: Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, formerly The Ritz-Carlton, Palm Beach.
Coastal Florida has been seeing a pretty big real estate boom, which is no surprise considering the sunny weather and cultural scene — not to mention it being a short flight away from The Bahamas.
For serious equestrians, a luxury home is great, but it doesn't mean much without a spacious parcel of land to sit on. It just so happens that the Wellington Equestrian Estate in Florida has both and will soon be auctioned off on-site during the Platinum Luxury Auctions March 1 event.
It seems that a Florida family vacation is in order since the Four Seasons Resort Orlando Walt Disney World® Resort is set to open up later this summer. Close to Orlando's major amusement parks — Magic Kingdom® Park, Epcot®, Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios® — the brand's new hotel will be as luxurious as it is family-friendly.
There are few hotels in America that combine incredible architectural splendor, spectacular oceanfront settings and opulent amenities like Palm Beach's The Breakers hotel. Legendary luxury and Gatsby-esque glamour permeate the atmosphere from the moment you turn onto the dramatic palm-lined drive and spot the famous twin turrets topping the Italian Renaissance-style edifice.
Re-imagining a hotel is no small feat— from the established restaurants and amenities to well-known features of the property—breathing new life into institutions takes tremendous vision and a bit of magic. On the Gulf Coast of Florida, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples accomplishes just that, contemporary design without abandoning the true character of this traditional and esteemed resort.
Art Basel has officially kicked-off in Miami Beach, drawing in swarms of the most creative, eclectic and chicest patrons to its epicenter of paradise to adore and envy great works of art, live performances and more. This year, Art Basel entails more than 250 galleries making up the eight sectors, leaving plenty to see from December 5-8.
The PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens is famed among golf aficionados for the chance to tee off on the same hallowed greens as the pros. Since 2007 the incredible 2,340 acre property has played host to the Honda Classic, a key event on the PGA Tour. It was also the site of the 1983 Ryder Cup, the 1987 PGA Championship, and the Senior PGA Championship from 1982 to 2000.
In addition to EPIC, Surfcomber, and Vero Beach Hotel and Spa in sunny South Florida, Kimpton Hotels & Resorts has recently introduced its new property, The Angler's Hotel. The boutique property was first built in 1931, restored in 2007 and reopened under the Kimpton brand on November 21, 2013. Spread out over four separate buildings, the pet-friendly Angler's has 48 rooms, 660 Restaurant serving Nuevo Latin Cuisine, indoor-outdoor meeting space, pool with cabanas, and seven spa suites. In 2014, a project to expand the new space will begin, adding 83 more rooms, a lobby lounge and rooftop pool.

'Seed Pod' invades Frank Lloyd Wright in Madison
Madison — Brenda Baker's big, twiggy "Seed Pod" has been nestled into the pristine geometry of Frank Lloyd Wright's Monona Terrace since October. It's huge — about 71/2 feet tall and 10 feet wide — and its unruly ovoid form dominates the concrete esplanade, bristling with a defiantly organic energy.
Placed with an almost comical symmetry in the center of the walkway, perfectly aligned with both Monona Terrace's rooftop fountain and the Capitol dome in Madison, it conjures up strangely opposite impressions. On the one hand, it's like a giant tumbleweed, blown in by a freak storm. At the same time, I can't escape the way it echoes an alien spacecraft (especially with Wright's retro-futuristic building as a backdrop), like the one that landed on the National Mall in "The Day the Earth Stood Still." »Read Full Article

I was having a discussion with a colleague the other day about Flight Deck crews from years past, and it got me thinking.... what ever happened to all of those FEs? Did they go on to be First Officers? Were they laid off? Let go through attrition?
And, in regard to the position itself, were they pilots that could fly the airplane in the event of an emergency? Did you go to school to become a FE, or was it a stepping stone to becoming a First Officer/Captain?
Come to think of it, it really was not all that long ago they went away, at least on long-haul flights.

We introduce an experimental approach to realize aperiodic photonic lattices based on multiplexing of nondiffracting Bessel beams. This holographic optical induction scheme takes advantage of the well localized Bessel beam as a basis to assemble two-dimensional photonic lattices. We present the realization of an optically induced two-dimensional golden-angle Vogel spiral lattice, which belongs to the family of deterministic aperiodic structures. With our technique, a very broad class of photonic refractive index landscapes now becomes accessible to optical induction, which could not be realized with established distributed holographic techniques.
Eutectic structures in friction spot welding joint of aluminum alloy to copper104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4876238View Description Hide Description
A dissimilar joint of AA5083 Al alloy and copper was produced by friction spot welding. The Al-MgCuAl2 eutectic in both coupled and divorced manners were found in the weld. At a relatively high temperature, mass transport of Cu due to plastic deformation, material flow, and atomic diffusion, combined with the alloy system of AA5083 are responsible for the ternary eutectic melting.
Introducing thermally stable inter-tube defects to assist off-axial phonon transport in carbon nanotube films104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4874624View Description Hide Description
Through integrated molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experimental studies, we demonstrated the feasibility of an ion-irradiation-and-annealing based phonon engineering technique to enhance thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube (CNT) films. Upon ion irradiation of CNT films, both inter-tube defects and intra-tube defects are introduced. Our MD simulations show that inter-tube defects created between neighboring tubes are much more stable than intra-tube defects created on tube graphitic planes. Upon thermal annealing, intra-tube defects are preferentially removed but inter-tube defects stay. Consequently, axial phonon transport increases due to reduced phonon scattering and off-axial phonon transport is sustained due to the high stability of inter-tube defects, leading to a conductivity enhancement upon annealing. The modeling predictions agree with experimental observations that thermal conductivities of CNT films were enhanced after 2 MeV hydrogen ion irradiations and conductivities were further enhanced upon post irradiation annealing.

This Letter introduces a seismic metamaterial (SM) composed by a chain of mass-in-mass system able to filter the S-waves of an earthquake. We included the effect of the SM into the mono dimensional model for the soil response analysis. The SM modifies the soil behavior and in presence of an internal damping the amplitude of the soil amplification function is reduced also in a region near the resonance frequency. This SM can be realized by a continuous structure with inside a 3d-matrix of isochronous oscillators based on a sphere rolling over a cycloidal trajectory.
High-quality InN films on MgO (100) substrates: The key role of 30° in-plane rotation104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4876760View Description Hide Description
High crystalline layers of InN were grown on MgO(100) substrates by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. Good quality films were obtained by means of an in-plane rotation process induced by the annealing of an InN buffer layer to minimize the misfit between InN and MgO. In situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction showed linear streaky patterns along the azimuth and a superimposed diffraction along the azimuth, which correspond to a 30° α-InN film rotation. This rotation reduces the mismatch at the MgO/InN interface from 19.5% to less than 3.5%, increasing the structural quality, which was analyzed by high-resolution X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Only the (0002) c plane diffraction of α-InN was observed and was centered at 2θ = 31.4°. Raman spectroscopy showed two modes corresponding to the hexagonal phase: E1(LO) at 591 cm−1 and E2(high) at 488 cm−1. Hall effect measurements showed a carrier density of 9 × 1018 cm−3 and an electron Hall mobility of 340 cm2/(V s) for a film thickness of 140 nm.
Topology optimization for locally resonant sonic materials104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4878259View Description Hide Description
This Letter presents an optimal design method for locally resonant sonic materials using topology optimization incorporating a level-set method. Examples demonstrate that this method provides optimal configurations that exhibit roughly hundred-fold acoustic attenuation at desired frequencies, evaluated using frequency analyses of displacements at the output side of the design domain. We also explore the effects on the acoustic response of combining two optimal configurations. Our results indicate that the proposed method can be applied for the design of locally resonant sonic materials that have multiple attenuation peaks in a combined configuration. Additionally, we analyze eight configuration combinations, one consisting of eight identical configurations and the other of eight slightly different unit cells. The results show the combination of eight slightly different optimal configurations achieves a wider frequency range of attenuation.
Suspended plate microresonators with high quality factor for the operation in liquids104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4875910View Description Hide Description
Partial wetting has been recently proposed to facilitate the operation of microresonators with high quality factor in liquids. By applying this concept to a resonator operated in a shearing eigenmode, a further reduction of viscous damping is expected corresponding to theory. In this study, an excellent quality factor of 490 could be verified for suspended plate-microresonators operated in water combining these two approaches. As a proof of concept, the resonators were employed as mass sensors in water revealing a sensitivity of 80 Hz/pg.
Thermal expansion measurements by x-ray scattering and breakdown of Ehrenfest's relation in alloy liquids104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4876125View Description Hide Description
Measurements of sharp diffraction peaks as a function of temperature are routinely used to obtain precise linear expansion coefficients of crystalline solids. In this case, the relation between temperature dependent changes in peak position in momentum transfer (q 1) and volume expansion is straightforward (Ehrenfest's relation: q 1 = K(2π/d), where K is a constant and d is the interatomic spacing) and the data obtained are usually in close agreement with more direct measurements. With high intensity synchrotron x-ray and spallation neutron sources, it is also possible to accurately measure the positions of the much broader peaks for liquids and glasses. This has led to a debate on whether linear expansion coefficients derived from these data are an accurate representation of the volume expansion coefficients. We present here volume thermal expansion and x-ray diffraction data for a large number of glass-forming alloy liquids acquired in a containerless environment using the beamline electrostatic levitation technique. The data show a large difference in the values obtained from the two different techniques. Moreover, the position of the first peak (q 1) in the scattered intensity in the structure factor (S(q)) and the atomic volume v for all liquids follow a simple relationship, . The exponent, ε = 2.28 (±0.11), is much different from the expected value of 3 from Ehrenfest's relation and shows no temperature dependence over the temperature range of the data collected.
Stress mapping of micromachined polycrystalline silicon devices via confocal Raman microscopy104(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4878616View Description Hide Description
Stress mapping of micromachined polycrystalline silicon devices with components in various levels of uniaxial tension was performed. Confocal Raman microscopy was used to form two-dimensional maps of Raman spectral shifts, which exhibited variations on the scale of the component and on the scale of the microstructure. Finite element analysis models enabled direct comparison of the spatial variation in the measured shifts to that of the predicted stresses. The experimental shifts and model stresses were found to be linearly related in the uniaxial segment, with a proportionality constant in good agreement with calculations based on an opto-mechanical polycrystalline averaging analysis.

Join Lorna Daly for an in-depth discussion in this video Opening old worksheets, part of Excel 2007 Essential Training.
- Overview
- Transcript
- View Offline
So you've got Microsoft Excel 2007 installed and you're ready to start using it. Let's go open up an old worksheet that we've used in past versions of Microsoft Excel. We'll click on the Microsoft Office button up in the top, left-hand corner, and select the Open file. This cash flow budget worksheet was something that I have used previously, and I want to start a brand-new one for brand-new year. So I select it, and I click the Open button. And I get this message. Whenever you see a message with a yield sign and an exclamation mark, that's telling you there's a warning. It's telling you that there's something about what you're trying to do that you need to think about before you proceed. In this case, it's telling me that I'm working with an earlier beta version of Microsoft Excel 2007.
And it's also telling me that it's going to convert the workbook to this most recent version of the file format, when I save it. So, for those of you that have been using Microsoft Excel in the past, and you are opening up older versions--let's say an Excel 2003 worksheet--it's going to identify for you, that it's going to bring it in, what we're going to call, compatibility mode. Where it may turn off some of the features that didn't work in 2007, just so that you can easily work with the information in the spreadsheet that that you're working in here. It's also verifying that the information that you're opening up, is from a trusted source, so that you're not going to corrupt your environment.
So let's click on OK, and see what happens. And I get this nice Cash Flow Budget Worksheet in front of me. If I take a look at the top of the screen where I see what worksheet I'm working in, I have a little identifier here in square brackets, and that's called compatibility mode. And that's identifying for me that this is an older version of a spreadsheet that I had worked with previously, and that it's now putting it in a safe mode for me to work in, in 2007. And that all of the functionality in 2007 may not be available for me, but that's fine.
At least it lets me work. And it will also allow me to save this document in a mode that would let me share it with those people that haven't already upgraded to Microsoft 2007. Especially the Excel version of it. One thing I want to mention to you is you don't have the ability to manually turn off this compatibility mode feature in 2007, it automatically will show up for you, but you cannot turn it off if you don't want to. This is something that is standard and it's predetermined by the application itself. Now that we've seen that we can use older versions of the software in the worksheets in Microsoft 2007 XL, let's go and create one from scratch.

Šis produktas What Hi-Fi? Awards 2016 apdovanojimuose nugalėjo Geriausias tinklo grotuvas £500-£1000 kategorijoje
The core technology from our multi-award winning StreamMagic streaming module enables the CXN to play virtually anything, from basic compressed MP3 formats to 24-bit/192kHz studio master quality FLAC and WAV files. And do so with incredible musicality.
Its wireless playback capabilities include Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, Airplay, NAS drives and UPnP servers, and aptX Bluetooth.
Whatever input the music comes from - wired or wireless - and no matter its original resolution, the powerful digital engine inside the CXN upsamples your favourite songs to 24-bit/384kHz hi-res quality. They're then passed via twin Wolfson WM8740 DACs in Dual Differential configuration; the result is tonal clarity, detail and an involvement with your music that will astound you.
Intuitive to use, the CXN features an exquisite 4.3" (11cm) colour display, and can also be controlled via the free Cambridge Connect App for Apple and Android devices. Browse your music by album, artist, playlist and more; it's beautiful, simple, and an easy way to see at a glance what you're listening to.
The CXN is our fastest, slickest network player yet, and this is helped by the processing power of our bespoke new Cambridge Connect app. The app, which offers a new menu system plus a more graphical and intuitive interface, locates uPnP servers on your network, makes sense of the folder structure and lists content metadata, all without skipping a beat.
The CXN also supports C-BUS control, allowing power and volume to be controlled via the Cambridge Connect app. The CXN can be employed as a digital pre-amplifier, with volume control performed by the Sharc DSP; for maximum quality, this resamples at every volume step. There's also asychronous USB (24-bit/192kHz resolution) with DSD64 playback support. Using the app to find the track you want to play, not the player, results in a faster, more satisfying user experience. We believe this switcheroo is ingenious. Before, our streaming module would have to go find the uPnP servers and serve up the file structure back to the app - a relatively slow process. In the CXN ecosystem, your smartphone or tablet app handles all the browsing, searching and finding.
Naturally file playback support is wide, with all popular codecs and wrappers supported, including WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, MP3, HE AAC and AAC+ OGG Vorbis. UPnP media playback is joined by AirPlay, Spotify Connect and Internet radio.
Just as with other components in the CX series, the CXN features a low-resonance, acoustically dampened chassis, allied to a high quality power supply - and for the first time on a Cambridge network player, there's also a high resolution, full colour TFT display, which compliments the browsing experience on the Cambridge Connect app.
With the CXN, we've been able to unlock more of our extremely powerful Zander audio streaming module. Incredibly, it's currently utilising only about 20 per cent of its potential. Expect firmware updates to unlock more features and functionality over time.
The two Wolfson WM8740 DACs within the CXN are used in a dual differential mode. Put simply, this means we use one stereo DAC per channel. Not only does this give us terrific stereo separation, but also enables us to multiply up and convert at 24-bit 384kHz (2 x192Khz) per channel. Why do we use Wolfson WM8740 DACs? Because they sound great, of course!
The CXN employs Cambridge Audio's proprietary 2nd Generation Adaptive Time Filtering (ATF2) upsampling technology, which is implemented in the CXN's Analog Devices Sharc DSP. Traditionally, upsampling algortithms consider two bits of data then draw a line between; our ATF technology considers both the data and its overall shape, then interpolates where it'll best fit the waveform. We believe this is a more accurate, realistic way of handling audio upsampling, and results in a more convincing soundstage.
If you want to use the CXN with a Bluetooth source, we offer an optional BT100 audio receiver.
From the ground up, this is an audiophile Bluetooth device. All the coding for the BT100, from the XMOS interface to the aptX implementation, is done in-house. We even include an extension cable which enables you get the best Bluetooth range.
With a Wolfson DAC and a class AB amplifier, the Xi will stream an unlimited selection of music via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and make it sound crisp, detailed and powerful.
Featuring a high quality 24-bit/96kHz Wolfson WM8728 DAC (digital to analogue converter) means that sound from any source is delivered in sparkling detail. The Xi also uses an oversized toroidal power supply for improved audio and bass quality across the volume range.
You'll be hard pressed to find something the Minx Xi can't upgrade the sound of, with its extensive suite of inputs.
Thanks to Bluetooth, it is possible to stream music from services such as Spotify straight to the Minx Xi in addition to being able to access over 20,000 Internet radio stations. So you'll always be able to find something new and interesting to listen to.
Connect the optional BT100 to wirelessly stream music from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, so you can enjoy music stored on your phone, hear your friend's latest download, or listen to your favourite music service. The BT100 is aptX ready, meaning you can enjoy high resolution streaming from supported devices.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The Rev. Jerry Falwell apologized Monday for saying God had allowed terrorists to attack America because of the work of civil liberties groups, abortion rights supporters and feminists.
Falwell said his comments were ill-timed, insensitive and divisive at a time of mourning. President Bush had called the statement inappropriate.
"In the midst of the shock and mourning of a dark week for America, I made a statement that I should not have made and which I sincerely regret," Falwell said.
He added: "I want to apologize to every American, including those I named."
In an interview Thursday during religious broadcaster Pat Robertson's TV program "The 700 Club," Falwell blamed the devastation on pagans, abortionists, feminists, homosexuals, the American Civil Liberties Union and the People for the American Way.
"All of them who have tried to secularize America, I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen,"' he said.
Falwell, a Baptist minister and chancellor of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va., also expressed a belief shared by other evangelicals that divine protection is withdrawn from nations that violate God's will.

But Chet's version is simply stunning, it goes on and on for I think 20 minutes or so, with great solos from Chet but also pianist, double bass and sax
edit: also knowing the background of the piece is important when you play it. It is highly emotional piece and it evoke ultimate sadness when listened. Because rodrigo composed it in very difficult and emotional times of his life, there was war about to begun, and his wife just had miscarriage, and just before that they were on honeymon I beleive in this palace of Aranjuez and for a moment his life seemd perfect, but then it all fell apart.

when someone ask me to play, I'll say OK I need to playa few notes first. then I'll play a Chromatic scale from low F# to high C and back down real fast. then I'll play something very lyrical for them. what ever comes to mind. after that they know they've heard how musical a trumpet can be!

Down six points in the fourth quarter, the Nets, with a five-game winning streak on the line, were in trouble. Their big man and should-be All-Star, Brook Lopez, had been stifled, so the Nets were deprived of a vital threat. Then came a soft jumper from Lopez, and then another. The Nets were instantly transformed. Next time down the court, he drew the defense close and kicked the ball out, leaving another scorer, Joe Johnson, open. The Nets were on their way.

Burkle Has WLU Baseball Team off to Fine Start
WEST LIBERTY – After a few years of being on the losing end, West Liberty decided to try a different approach with its baseball program for the 2013 season.
So far, so good.
The Hilltoppers, guided by first-year coach Eric Burkle, have already matched their total number of victories from a year ago (11) and currently sit atop the West Virginia Conference's North Division with a perfect 9-0 record.
"The last five years have been long," Burkle admitted. "Five-hundred was always the goal (former coach) Bo (McConnaughy) and I set every year. We've been well below.500."
Once Burkle became skipper after 30 years of McConnaughy at the helm, the former Wheeling Central coach decide the team's mentality needed a bit of tweaking.
"We made it clear from the start: This is big-boy baseball," he said. "Every kid has a role. Those not willing to perform that role are not needed."
According a Burkle, there wasn't too much resistance from the locker room.
"Some veterans tried to buck the system, but once they saw what we were capable of, they were on board," he said. "We've really made this into a high-energy program. Negative energy is not much use to us. We want kids with positive energy. It's paid off from what we can see."
The Toppers are currently on a five-game winning streak after starting the season 6-9, but have yet to play a true home game.
Due to the weather the Valley has been experiencing, West Liberty has had to move games from Kovalick Field to Consol Energy Park in Washington, Pa.
"They want to change the name from 'Home of the Wild Things' to 'Home of the Hilltoppers,"' Burkle joked. "It's nice to play on that turf. We're one of the few schools that has been fortunate enough to be able to play most of our games this season. It just seems like this winter won't go away."
Out of the seven games West Liberty has played in Washington, five have been victories, including an impressive three-game sweep of the University of Pitt-Johnstown, a perennial conference powerhouse.
"Between the coach and players, they've put it all in," Burkle said. "We've already surpassed last year's home run total. Our batting average is up. Our slugging average is up. And, this is what really has been the big difference this year, our walks and ERA are well below what they were expected to be. The pitching staff has completely done their jobs.
"The results, so far, have been better than what we could have imagined, by far. Everyone is fully committed."
That's a good reason why the team received votes in this week's Atlantic Region pool. It's the first time anyone seems to remember a Hilltopper baseball team receiving regional votes in a while.
"These kids have busted their butts to get this," Burkle said. "They deserve everything they get."
Burkle has also added something new to the baseball program that he hopes will implement a long run of Hilltoppers success – a junior varsity team.
However, Burkle will be the first to admit it's not your typical jayvee team.
"It's really more of a junior college program," he said. "Why get kids that have been somewhere else for two years before putting them on our team? We want to groom our own players."
The jayvee team is scheduled to play eight games this season and Burkle hopes the addition will keep kids interested and sharp.
"Some kids coming out of high school at 18 years old just simply haven't full matured yet. This gives them an opportunity to play college baseball before they get that spurt."
With a new team hungry for success, Burkle has only given the squad two rules to live by.
"One is don't be stupid and the other is don't play basketball. They have really bought into it 40 kids strong. They've all bonded and click and it's starting to pay off."

With the additional funds teams received through the new television revenue, general managers have been handing out historical contract after historical contract. And while cases could be made either way for the deals Robinson Cano and Jacoby Ellsbury received, some new contracts are indefensible.
Perhaps the worst contract of the offseason goes to Tim Lincecum. The San Francisco Giants ignored the former ace's past two miserable seasons and still handed him a two-year, $35 million pact.
Read on to see all MLB free agents who have little chance of living up to their huge new contracts.
