RESUMEN La fabricación reproducible de puntas de barrido para microscopios de efecto túnel es demostrada usando un método electroquímico. Las puntas son hechas a partir de alambre de tungsteno de 0.5 mm de diámetro. Controlando las condiciones de fabricación: la inmersión en la solución electrolítica, rangos de voltaje-corriente y duración del proceso se logra realizar puntas con relaciones de aspecto de 0.68 y radios de punta de 330 nm en el mejor caso. ABSTRACT Reproducible fabrication of Scanning Tunneling Microscope tips is carried out following an electrochemical procedure widely reported. Tips are made from 0.5 diameter tungsten wire. Controlling fabrication parameters (immersion in the electrochemical solution, current-voltage ranges, duration of the process, among others) we achieve aspect ratios of 0.68 and tip radii of 330 nm in the best case. #27 revista de ingeniería. Universidad de los Andes. Bogotá, Colombia. rev.ing. ISSN Mayo de 2008
2 44 INTRODUCTION The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a widely-known and important surface science instrument, its capacity to perform atomic-scale characterization being the cause of this importance. The tunneling phenomenon in the microscope occurs when a conductive sample and a very sharp metallic tip are placed in near-contact separation (<1 nm) [1] and a voltage difference is applied between them. From the very first experiments with the STM it is known that its resolution depends on the sharpness of the tips [1], [2], [3], with increasing sharpness directly leading to a better resolution (up to atomic resolution). This STM tips are fabricated mainly with Platinum-Iridium (Pt-Ir) or Tungsten(W) wires. Pt- Ir tips are made either by cutting or electrochemical methods, the former being more usual. On the other hand, tungsten tips are fabricated exclusively by electrochemical methods [4]. One of these techniques is the DC-drop off method [5]. In the Drop off method, a DC voltage is applied between two electrodes immersed in an electrolytic solution, the tungsten wire being the anode. Material is removed from the tungsten wire, once the voltage is applied between the anode and an extra electrode. If the electrochemical cell is properly constructed, the removal of material will cause the formation of a neck in the tungsten wire which will lead ultimately to its rupture, leaving a sharp tip in the zone where the fracture occurs. The name of the method comes from the fact that when the wire breaks, the portion of the wire below the fracture zone drops into the electrochemical solution, while the upper part is used as the scanning tip. Relevant parameters for this method have been shown to be the voltages in the reaction; which must make the process an electropolishing one [4]; the length of wire which drops (depth of immersion), which mainly defines aspect ratio of the tip (tip length over wire diameter); and the time between the drop-off and the removal of the voltage, called the cut-off time, which has an important effect on tip sharpness (tip-radius); shorter times lead to sharper tips [5]. In this work, the fabrication of STM tips is successfully carried out by this method. It is shown that reproducible results are possible with methodical control of the parameters above mentioned; the process is simple and could be easily adapted to other wire materials. METHODOLOGY The experimental set-up (electrochemical cell) used is schematically shown on Figure 1. Polycrystalline tungsten wire (Goodfellow 0.5 mm dia % pure) is immersed to a depth li in KOH 2M. The depth of immersion is controlled and measured by the turning of a screw. In the surface of the liquid there is a copper wire (23AWG) bend in the form at a circular ring (8 mm dia.). Both ring and wire serve as electrodes in the electrochemical reaction, the wire being the anode. Figure 1. Schematic of the experimental setup for the electrochemical fabrication of STM tips. The dotted lines show schematically how the necking produces a tip in the upper portion of the wire. The potential difference is applied by means of a control circuit (Figure 2) designed to monitorize the electropolishing current and also to provide appropriate cut-off times in order to obtain sharp tips. It is based on a design by Nakamura [6].

Voltagram of the electrochemical cell obtained with 2mm of depth of immersion. Figure 4. Voltagram of the electrochemical cell obtained with 3mm of depth of immersion.
4 46 In this circuit the electropolishing current is controlled by means of potentiometer Rc. The emitter-follower Q3 pass a voltage signal to a differentiator. This signal is analogous to the electropolishing current. When there is a sudden fall in this quantity, which indicates tip formation (rupture), the differentiator provides a peak of voltage which in turn changes the state of a flip-flop. The flip-flop turns on transistors Q1 and Q2, Q1 lowers the gate voltage of Q4, thus cutting the voltage provided to the electrochemical reaction. Cut-off times of 160 ns are typical. To measure the effect of depth of immersion in tip morphology and radius, experiments for 2 mm and 3 mm are carried out. The respective voltagram (I-V curve) of each situation is obtained, and the reaction is performed in the optimum I-V ranges. for 2 mm of immersion is consistently 0.68 (evaluated in five tips), with standard deviation For 3 mm it is consistently 0.83 (evaluated again in five tips), with standard deviation Then, 2 mm of immersion is a better condition, as the aspect ratio is lower, thus making the tip less susceptible to vibrations while operating in the STM. The increasing of aspect ratio by increasing depth of immersion has been observed also by other authors [5]. Both tips have good superficial quality, which shows that the voltage ranges used for the fabrication were appropriate. Also, they are highly symmetric (important for STM imaging [8]), showing the experimental set-up was correctly constructed. The reproducibility achieved is shown by the low standard deviation of the aspect ratio, obtained in both cases. Tip radius and morphology is observed in a FEI Quanta 200 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). RESULTS AND ANALYSIS The voltagram of the electrochemical cell with 2 mm of tungsten wire immersed in the solution is shown on Figure 3, while the results for 3 mm are shown on Figure 4. The electropolishing reaction is better carried out in the plateau region of the voltagram [7], leading to smoother surfaces and uniform removal of material, and in the lowest-possible voltage [5], thus lending lower oxide formation rates. Then, appropriate voltages for carrying out the electrochemical reactions are 2.5 V and 3 V for 2 mm and 3 mm depth of immersion respectively. Figure 5. SEM image of tip morphology obtained with 2mm of immersion. The voltagram for an immersion of 3 mm indicates that the currents are higher in this condition, which implies shorter fabrication times with increasing immersion depth. However, as is noted below, this is not always convenient. Secondary electron SEM images of typical tips obtained by us are shown on Figures 5 and 6. Aspect ratio Figure 6. SEM image of tip morphology obtained with 3 mm of immersion.
5 técnica #27 revista de ingeniería A higher magnification of the tips can be used to measure tip radius. The micrographs are depicted on Figures 7 and 8. The results again show that 2 mm is a better option for depth of immersion as tip radius is 330 nm, compared to 456 nm obtained in the other case. Also, the sphere-like form of the 3 mm-tip indicates that the depth of immersion is excessive [5] as it causes a recoil of the material when the tip is formed. A Back Scattered Electron SEM Image (Figure 9) of a 2 mm-tip shows a tungsten-oxide layer covering the surface of the tips [5]. This is a sub-product of the electrochemical reaction and thus occurs in every electropolishing experiment. Several methods have been reported in order to clean tips from this oxide. Under our available resources we find suitable to propose an Hydrofluoric Acid cleansing Procedure outlined by Hockett [9]. This method is yet to be implemented in our experiments. Effects of this cleaning procedure such as better stability of the tunneling junction have been reported [9]. CONCLUSIONS Reproducible fabrication of STM tips was carried out, using procedures widely reported in literature. Satisfactory morphological and surface characteristics were obtained by using appropriate voltage ranges in the electrochemical process. It was shown that 3 mm of depth of immersion is an excessive value, thus defining its upper limit. Better aspect ratio and tip radius were obtained by 2 mm depth of immersion.. However, tip-radius is still rather high as compared by that obtained by other authors [6]. Further research is underway to improve fabrication parameters, for example cut-off time to values as short as 50ns as reported by [6]. 47 Figure 7.

Panasonic introduces its new high-performance C3 Series
– connect, converge, communicate –
. The series, which is part of Panasonic's award-winning WORKiO(R) line, features two MFPs with excellent monochrome and color output that company executives say are among the most technologically advanced in their segment.
What makes the series special? Start with new technology. Panasonic's Induction Heating eliminates the need to preheat the fusing device during standby. This technology is more environment-friendly due to a faster warm-up time and minimal power consumption during operation.
Another great feature is SD card integration, which provides portability, security and integration with other equipment such as digital cameras. Users can print from an SD card by inserting it directly in the front panel of the C3 Series. Thumbnails of images stored on the SD card are displayed on the control panel, making it easy to select and print an image. Automatic contrast adjustment allows photos created on a digital camera to be automatically processed to maximize contrast for the best possible sharpness and clarity.
According to Ted LeBlanc, president of Panasonic Digital Document Company, the DP-C322 and DP-C262 are the most eagerly awaited office systems in company history. "While there are machines with some of the features of the new C3 Series, there are no machines with all their features," LeBlanc said. "The factory designed two outstanding MFPs that dramatically expand the range of applications for which MFPs are typically used."
Both models in the series have a large-sized, user-friendly, full VGA color touch-screen control panel. This feature is particularly helpful for partially sighted users. Also, it can be adjusted for wheelchair users in 15-degree increments by tilting and locking the panel in one of several downward positions.
The DP-C322 and DP-C262 copy and network-print in black and white up to 32 ppm and up to 26 ppm, respectively, and copy and print up to 21 ppm in color. The MFPs were unveiled to dealers at Panasonic's recent annual sales meeting and dealer response to the new series was overwhelmingly positive. So much so, that they set a Panasonic record for order commitments at the sales meeting.
Lou Slawetsky, president of Industry Analysts, Inc., which just finished testing the new series, said the dealers' enthusiasm is well justified. "We were particularly impressed with several features of the DP-C322 and DP-C262, such as the SD memory card interface, that are unique to color copier-MFPs in their category," Slawetsky said. "The series also features one of the best control panels we've seen. It's intuitive, in color, oversized, adjustable and easy to understand."
Slawetsky said Industry Analysts was also impressed with Panasonic's printing technology, which he rates in the top third of manufacturers. "The printing technology is outstanding, right down to the MFPs' ability to register, plus a direct paper path that doesn't loop back through the machine," a feature that Slawetsky said tremendously increases paper-feeding reliability. He added that the DP-C322 and DP-C262 are among the easiest business color devices to use, even connecting to a network.
Also newly developed is Panasonic's emulsion aggregation toner technology, which takes color output quality to new heights through the use of smaller, more uniform particles. Emulsion aggregation toner allows smoother image reproduction by reducing the roughness of the intermediate tones in photos.
The DP-C322 and DP-C262 feature a newly designed color engine that maximizes color performance. For example, Panasonic implemented intermediate transfer belt technology in the engine to create a flatter paper path. This allows effective toner image transfer and more accurate printing while minimizing misfeeds.
Consistent color, versatile scanning selections and various automatic image modes–including modes specific for tracing paper, map and newspaper–all contribute to high-quality reproduction in the DP-C322 and DP-C262.
Color quality is further enhanced by three printing modes — Standard, Photo Quality and Enhanced — which offer different resolutions. With a maximum resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, fine color illustrations can be printed that are very close to the originals, and with a low running cost.
With Panasonic's advanced distribution technology, the DP-C322 and DP-C262 utilize Panasonic's compressed PDF file format that can dramatically reduce color file sizes. This allows larger color documents to be sent via email more easily, and recipients can open the files using a standard PDF reader without loss of clarity or resolution.
While the DP-C322 and DP-C262 are big on performance they're not big on price, and have a lower price point than many comparable MFPs. The DP-C262 and DP-C322 carry MSRPs(1) of $11,995. and $13,495., respectively.
With its multiprotocol design, intuitive printer driver control, web-based utilities, and network printer utilities including standard PCL6 emulation and genuine Adobe PostScript3 option, the new series is well-suited to the needs of today's networked office environments. Right down to its small footprint (25.8″x32.5″x40.7″) for a color MFP. (The dimensions are 41.8″x30.7″x45.1″ when the automatic document feeder, document tray and bypass are added.)
The new machines can practically transform most offices into an in-house print shop just by adding the finisher option, which allows users to create full-color brochures, booklets and flyers. This option features finishing for the most common types of binding: stapling, hole-punching and saddle-stitching.
At the same time, restrictions on usage can be programmed into the DP-C322 and DP-C262. One individual, for example, might have access to color as well as monochrome printing and copying, while another employee might be restricted to monochrome.
The MFPs also maintain an audit trail of every job that is processed, allowing printing costs to be broken down by department or user. And the machines can access a company-wide address book via Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), eliminating the need to maintain a separate directory of user names and email addresses.
Other high-performance features include standard duplexing, inverting automatic document feeder and 1,150-sheet paper supply. Scanning, SuperG3 faxing, maximum 2,250-sheet paper capacity, Internet fax and support for Panasonic's Document Distribution software, which allows centralized distribution of documents and the creation of text-searchable PDF files, are optional. These standard and optional features make the new C3 Series the smart choice for any office.

Gavrilo Princip was a Serbian and Yugoslav army commander, most notably during the Great War. His actions are often considered to have triggered the beginning of war in 1914 when he successfully assassinated the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand. After his death, he became a symbol of Slavic Individualism and nationalism, and is remembered every December 21st in Belgrade, Yugoslavia during the Serbian History Festival.
Princip, during his years of service as a general, was reported to be much more humane and understanding than his counterparts, treating Italian and Croatian prisoners with the utmost respect during the Dalmatian War.

Recent Commitments
The Michigan State Spartans added Dearborn (Mich.) Divine Child quarterback Theo Day to their 2017 class. Day is a tall, athletic kid with good arm talent. He throws with good touch and did an excellent job of allowing his receivers to make plays on the ball last season. That was his first year as full-time starter, so he just needs to continue to develop in terms of reading coverages and processing, but he is a bright kid with all of the physical tools needed to succeed.
Minnesota continues to build a good early class and defensive tackle Elijah Teague was another big early get. They have now gone into Michigan and picked up offensive lineman Jalen Mayfield, gone into Ohio and picked up quarterback Brennan Armstrong and now head into Chicago and come away with Teague, a prospect who had offers from Penn State, Tennessee, Illinois, Oklahoma and others. He is an athletic kid who can get off the ball and pursue plays from behind. Also a wrestler, he is a naturally strong kid who plays with good motor as well.
Another recent Chicago commit was quarterback Quincy Patterson, who made his verbal commitment to Virginia Tech. Patterson looks like a college defensive end and runs a little like one too. He is a very powerful, physical kid who is also very intelligent. He loves contact but is also a fairly nimble, elusive runner for a 6-foot-4, 232-pound kid. He has a strong arm and can get the ball downfield. We felt as though he made great strides as a passer between his sophomore and junior season and that trajectory bodes well for his Hokies future.
Toledo came into Chicago as well and received a commitment from Chicago Simeon athlete Jayshon Jackson, a high school quarterback who projects to slot in college. He has been excellent as a receiver at offseason camps, showing playmaking flair, quickness and reliable hands. In the Rockets' offense, he projects similarly to current slot/punt returner Corey Jones, who also is not the biggest guy, but is quick and elusive.
Not many outside of Wisconsin may have heard of Will McDonald, but we really like this recent Iowa State commitment from Waukesha North. He is a long, lean basketball player with the athleticism and wingspan to play the LEO position for the Cyclones. Still fairly raw, he is going to fill in in college and really take off in our opinion. This was a kid who we wondered why no one had offered, then ISU got him on campus and got him committed.
Speaking of a commitment which may be a little under the radar, Western Michigan got one from inside their home state, Essexville Garber's Ben Van Sumeren. He is a big (6-3, 225 pounds) kid with the ability to project to a lot of positions. He could be a big receiver or potentially an H-back type. He may even play defense. What we know for certain is that he is a big kid with good testing numbers who gives the Broncos some options.
Kentucky had several big visitors on campus over the weekend and one, defensive end Alex Reigelsperger, committed. At 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, he has a good frame and shows good motor on film. Beyond his physical abilities, he also will be an excellent recruiter for the class. On the field, he brings pass rush ability and a frame that can support more weight and strength. He has been productive against excellent competition in high school.
Rankings Changes (new 4-stars)
- We have added three new four-stars in the state of Ohio, Dayton Dunbar running back Tavion Thomas, Lakota West linebacker Xavier Peters and Cincinnati LaSalle tight end Josh Whyle. Thomas is a big, physical back who has added new offers recently from Alabama, Ohio State and more. We were impressed with his fluidity for a big guy at Best of the Midwest as well as his blocking ability. That combined with good junior film has him making the move.
Peters is a long, lean kid but he will strike ball carriers with power. He has plenty of room to get bigger and stronger. He is a middle backer right now but moving outside and maybe even playing on the edge eventually are possibilities with his frame and skill set. Tennessee, Wisconsin, Oregon, Indiana and South Carolina were among his recent offers. Ohio State, who he visits this weekend, could be next.
Whyle is a kid who makes some spectacular grabs on film. He has very natural pass catching abilities, but also shows some skills after the catch that bigger guys do not always have. He is also a physical, willing blocker who will only get better in that department as he fills in and gets stronger. But it is that natural ball tracking ability and catch radius which had us believing he was a four-star worthy weapon at the next level. Indiana, Auburn, Rutgers and Purdue are among his more recent offers.
Names on the Rise
Here are a few kids who have been on the hot streak in terms of adding offers recently.
- Watch out for Louisville (Ky.) St. Xavier offensive lineman Wyatt Smock. We liked him at the Best of the Midwest, but still could not have predicted the offer rush which followed that camp. He has received offers from Purdue, Louisville and Arkansas all in the last week and a half.
- Carterville (Ill.) tight end Luke Ford continues to pile up offers. Oklahoma was the latest, but before that, Georgia, West Virginia, Florida and others extended offers. It is early in his recruitment as he has been in basketball and unable to take many visits. Everything should ramp up this month when he hits the road. Several schools who have not offered continue to keep in contact and several of those programs, like Ohio State for one, could change his recruitment greatly if they offer.
- Despite some dominant camp performances, the offer movement for Tyrone Sampson was slower than many expected. Those who saw him at the Best of the Midwest were surprised to learn that he had not Big Ten or SEC offers. That changed recently when Kentucky and Minnesota both offered. A true center, we saw this late emergence with other top Midwest centers of the past like J.C. Hassenauer and Drake Jackson, so we would bet Sampson is not done adding new offers. He visits Louisville this weekend.

This one isn't that obscure seeing as it appears in Bouldering in Ireland but it's worth highlighting. The Holiday boulder lie up the valley from the rest of the bouldering in Glendo, about 15 minutes walk past the Fin. There are a few reasonable easy problems but the standout line is the central groove. Slightly overhanging, it has a few holds and looks like it will be super technical, the landing is reasonable but a spotter would be useful as there is a block on the edge of the landing zone.
Project giveaway #3
This is a nice, not far off the beaten track but not in an established area either. I found this a good few years ago, I have been back once or twice but not recently. I'm highlighting one problem but there is plenty more to go at here.
The problem is a slap to the big sloper and then another hard dynamic move/mantle to the sloping top. The landing needs a little work but will be perfect then and there is plenty of wood around to sort it.
Project giveaway #2
Two weeks ago I started the project giveaway. Every Friday I will post up a photo of an unclimbed boulder problem in Wicklow and give the location. I was in Font last Friday so am late with this (last) weeks.
Anyway here it is. An immaculate concave slab of pristine granite in Mall Hill. It's just right of the main crag, it's problem number 16 in the latest edition of the guide.
It's very smeary but the rock is top quality, could be very hard but might be just hard, it's difficult to say with slabs.
Ricky Bell's video of the Potato Cave, details and topo yet to be released.
Four circuits in Glendalough
Late spring is the ideal time to start going some longer circuits outdoors, the ground is dry, there's no midge and it's a good way of training for trad climbing. The following four circuits are found in Glendalough. Of course there aren't any arrows or markings on the rock so you will probably need the bouldering guide as a cross-reference. Buy it here.

Fair Head video
Rob Hunter (co-author of the Fairhead Bouldering Guide) has uploaded a video of some of the new problems he has been doing recently. Plenty of new problems been done at the Head best place to keep up to date is at the Fairhead Bouldering Guide facebook page.
Lough Tay
I have been to Lough Tay the last two days, yesterday I just took some crag shots and scrambled around the boulders, I found a few doable looking problems with decent landings and left keen to return. Today was so nice I just had to go back with shoes and pad this time.
When you walk to the boulders from the lake the pretty much the first boulder you come to has a great problem that I did just over 12 years ago in January 2002. It's a bit of tease as it's one of the few problems with a decent landing in the whole place.
Today I reclimbed this problem (must give it a name), it's around 6a, did the arete just to the left and an easy problem on either side. I brushed a few other things that felt a little hard including this brutal one mover that revolves around a pair of opposing gastons. Inevitable I left slightly less full of enhtusiams that on the first day but that's always the way. Over the years I have occisialted between f thinking Lough Tay has massive potential and dismissing it, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
There has been a good bit of activity there lately. I saw lots of cleaned problems and I think it definitely merits a topo.
There are definitely some good problems, including the amazing line in the photo above.
Fair Head
A nice little video from Rob Hunter. Including his new problem Culfeightrin 7c+.
Muckross Head
Nice video by Jeremy Colandairaj.
New Kerry bouldering – Derrylea
Richard Creagh has climbed a half dozen really nice looking new problems in the mountains of Kerry. The bouders lie very close to the road that runs between the Black Valley and Moll's Gap in an area called Derrylea. Richard thinks he is the first to climb on them but points on that the boulders are pretty obvious so maybe others have checked them out in the past.
Derrylea North (Google Streetview)
The boulder on the north side has two low but worthwhile problems.
1. Hollow 6A SS low on the obvious ramp and head towards the prow to top out.
2. Polo 6A Start with L on lower of two jugs (marked), R on a side pull (block is out for feet). Slap to higher jug and top out the prow. A SS a bit further right would be a decent project.
Derrylea South (Google Streetview)
The block on the south side of the road is taller and better. Climb down the SE arete.
1. Eastern Bloc 5+ Climb the slab on the east face.
2. Ceann Amháin Eile 6B Start on the flat ledge on the left and traverse to the big incut jug and top out.
3. Project Start in flared hand crack, climb up and left to flat ledge (block on ground is out) and finish up the arete. Landing isn't great.
4. Eureka Start in the flared hand crack and head for the big incut jug (block on ground is out). Only 5 as a jump start but an excellent 6B+/6C if you don't push off from the ground (though I didn't actually top it out that way.
5. Project Crouch start both hands on the right arete and traverse left along the thin line. Finish up the left arete.
6. Clé Géar 6A Crouch start with both hands on the right arete and head for the top.

Balancing Your Hormones Naturally
Not allowing banks to fail as a consequence of their very own idiotic errors insulates them from the destructive feedback that may higher right their conduct in the future. USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade progesterone is most often prescribed for peri-menopausal girls to counteract the results menopause hrt and pregnancy of estrogen dominance." An article published on-line in Associated Content, Obstacles to Avoid When Trying to Lose Weight throughout Menopause," explains how estrogen dominance occurs when a woman's physique produces smaller quantities of progesterone than regular (relative to estrogen ranges) making a hormonal imbalance".
Traditional HRT is an artificial drug made from estrogen derived from the urine of pregnant horses. Keep reading for more info on this situations and join our free newsletter below, covering the endometriosis indicators and symptoms in detail plus natural treatment options that provide effective pain aid. As it could possibly get quite rough at this stage in a girl's life, a number of menopause treatments are available in the marketplace.
In cultures the place older persons are extra respected and growing older is considered as a positive expertise, ladies have less symptoms and issues associated menopause and hrt ppt with menopause. The homeopathic medicine Lachesis usually has sizzling flushes, complications and/or depression in the course of the menopause, or throughout the periods.
Even in the event you take hormone remedy (ERT or HRT) you could get satisfactory calcium to take care of bone mass, in keeping with researchers at Columbia University. Anxiety and Menopause is a real, physiological phenomenon, but it's treatable with the proper analysis, and therapy plan ordered by your physician.
Women who've been afforded a modicum of symptom aid throughout HRT discover that sizzling flashes and night sweats return with a vengeance once remedies cease. This has lead to the introduction of HRT which is a medical process where hormones are replaced within the body to help fight the symptoms of menopause that are attributable menopause and hrt guidelines to a hormonal imbalance. However, due to the synthetic nature of the hormones used in the treatment, HRT may pose potential risks to a woman's total well being. HRT turned standard in the 1970s but went out of favour when many women on the remedy had been diagnosed with endometrial most cancers.
After the Women's Health Initiative Study launched its findings in regards to the risks of synthetic hormone substitute therapy (HRT) in July 2002, doctors menopause hrt and depression abandoned women's hormone well being for misinformation, confusion, antidepressants and birth control pills.

Rocks_R_Cool in Carlisle, Pennsylvania
70 months ago
30 year upser, oranyone with knowlege like his:
Hello, I was just hired for the pre-loader shift and I start begining of next week. While I was being interviewed, my interviewer was so impressed with my resume, that he asked if I would be interested in applying for the P/T Supervisor position they had opening up, as well as a HAzMat position. My question to you is this, what exactly are the salary and benifits for both of these positions? Would you recomend one over the other? I should mention that I have experience managing others, as well as dealing with HazMat. Also I am unconcerned with the benifits, my husband has been Active Duty Military for 25 years so far, so we are set on benifits. Any help you can give, or wisdom you can share, would be greatly apreciated. Thank You.

Chances of Michael Schumacher making a full recovery has all but ended with media reports quoting neurologists as saying that being in drug-induced coma for over two months have dashed any optimistic hopes. The seven-time Formula One champion has been in a hospital in Grenoble since December 27 last year when he met with a tragic skiing accident. Although doctors have been working diligently to recover him, the German legend has hardly shown any signs of improvement.
"The fact that he hasn't woken up implies that the injury has been extremely severe and that a full recovery is improbable," Daily Mail quoted Dr Tipu Aziz of Oxford University as saying, although he is not connected with the case in any way. "If you don't start getting any positive signs, that becomes very worrisome."
Another medical expert - Dr Anthony Strong of King's College in London - was of the opinion that time in coma gives an idea about chances of survival and recovery. "The longer someone is in a coma, the worse their recovery tends to be," he said.
While Schumacher's agent - Sabine Khem - has said that the former racer continues to be in the 'wake-up phase', his family and doctors treating him have not given any conclusive updates on Schumacher's recent condition. This has also led to seven unconfirmed speculations with one even suggesting that doctors have already given up on reviving him.
Meanwhile, friends and fans continue to pray for even the smallest sign of an improvement. On Sunday, it was reported that organisers of Bahrain Grand Prix even renamed the first corner of the track after Schumacher, in his honour.

buoyancy production term in turbulence model
I know, that for natural convection problems additional buoyancy production terms are used/needed in the turbulence equations
Related to this I have a few questions:
1) What is your experience with this additional production term?
2) How important is this for other turbulence models like the v2-f or k-omega-SST model?
3) Is there a difference for compressible/ideal gas and incompressible boussinesq solvers for using this additional production term (I expect not)?
4) What is your experience of using boussinesq approximation for higher temperature differences? For a difference of up to 100K I saw quite identical results evaluated by Darioush Gohari Barhaghi / Chalmers.
It would be nice, if you have some ideas and could recommend any papers related to these questions!
Best Regards!
Btw. it seems, that the only available turbulence model for openfoam is the implementation of http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Co...EpsilonViollet
Hi Fabian,
Here is a presentation from Launder et al that goes into some detail about the issues related to buoyancy and turbulence:
By all accounts it is not just the turbulence model which needs modification, but also the wall functions if you are running a high Re mesh. I suggest you read the related papers as well.
Certainly, our experience with the Fluent source term approach has not shown any noticeable benefits for natural convection dominated problems typical of HVAC applications. I imagine the influence will be more pronounced at larger dT though.
It is quite difficult to give a clear-cut range of applicability for the Boussinesq approximation as its behaviour is entirely case dependent. If you look at the derivation of the Boussinesq approximation, it is not necessarily the gravity term that causes the largest deviations due to the assumption of constant pressure. The secondary effects of non-constant density can be quite pronounced, especially in its effect on the heat capacity via Cp. In general, the smaller the pressure range is, the larger the accurate temperature range will be. Larger amounts of forced convection will also reduce the relative impact of the Boussinesq approximation.
I forgot to add this: a great article detailing the derivation of the Boussinesq approximation with some discussion of its range of applicability:
Hello Eugene,
thanks for your reply and for the interesting links! Yes, you are correct with the wall treatment for higher yplus values. Related to the production term, I remember, that there were some study of Kriegel with Fluent for displacement ventilation playing around with the productions term for the dissipition equ. using a k-epsilon variant... unfortunately I do not know, if it changed a lot.
Thanks again!
a while ago I implemented a buoyancy augmentation for the standard k-eps model in OF based on the Generalized Gradient Diffusion Hypothesis. Comparison with experimental results of a vertical round turbulent plume showed improved results, similar to the study of Maele and Merci: Application of two buoyancy-modified k-eps turbulence models to different types of buoyant plumes, Fire Safety Journal, 2006, 41, 122-138.
I've downloaded Viollet's k-e model from :
I made some mods in order to make it useable with OpenFOAM 2.0. I think I succeeded as it seems to work (but I'm quite new to OF so,....).
However, I lately understood that the implementation is only for incompressible flows, so I can't use it with buoyantSimpleFoam (only with boussinesqBuoyantSimpleFoam).
Does anyone have some hints on how I should proceed to make it work for compressible flows ?
Thanks in advance

HOW TO TEXT IN CLASS And Get Away With It FIRST STEP 2. When you enter your first class, make sure the teacher can't see that you have your phone with you. Second step 1. Before you go into class, check and see what ringer is set. If it's loud, turn it on vibrate or silent, whichever you prefer Third Step 3. Once you are in the class, try to find a seat near the back so you are away from the teacher. Fourth Step 4. Place your backpack next to you and open incase the teacher sees you so you can casually drop your phone into you backpack. Fifth Step 5. After you are all setup, put your phone under the edge of the table...Or if you want you can place a book on your desk so it creates a barrier. Sixth Step 6. During your text, try to look up when you think the teacher is looking at you. Or, if you know your keyboard well, try to text without even looking at the phone. Seventh Step Once you have finished
your text, put your phone away so you wont be holding it and have the teacher see it. Eighth Step 8. Once you get a text back, "accidently" drop one of your pens or papers and reach down to pick it up. Make sure you get behind the table where the teacher cant see you so you can easily tak out your phone. Ninth Step 9. Once you have gotten your phone again, place it in different places so you dont do the same thing every time. Tenth Step 10. After you are done with sending and recieving a text, repeat all 9 steps until the conversation/class is over. THE END... (:

Libertarian Gary Johnson defeated Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party, Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party in a four-way debate last night moderated by Larry King and sponsored by… who cares.
Johnson summed up the night in his plea for votes:
"Wasting your vote is voting for somebody that you don't believe in," an impassioned Johnson said. "That's wasting your vote. I'm asking everybody here, I'm asking everybody watching this nationwide to waste your vote on me."
Waste your vote in me, indeed.
I'm going to rile up a few of my libertarian friends with this, but in my opinion, voting third party is a wasted vote when third party candidates have no chance of winning, and in this election none do. Politics is a game of accommodation and finance, and third-party candidates typically champion positions that do not allow for accommodation/negotiation, and they don't have enough of a financial base to gain traction and publicity. Ross Perot was a rare exception to this rule, as a fairly articulate candidate with a popular and easily understandable financial platform and the ability to self-fund his campaign.
If third party supporters want to make a real difference, the time to act is long before election day. They need to infiltrate and build support within one of the two primary parties that we currently have, put their positions on the party plank, and take over the party from the inside.
Communists and Socialists did this when they slowly took over the Democratic Party (Barack Obama was a candidate for the socialist New Party in the 1990s), and the Tea Party has come out of nowhere to take a significant role in the 2010 mid-terms before wisely starting to build roots at the state and local level to take over the Republican Party from the inside in years to come.
If you want to win, if you want true change, you invade the system and take it over.
Otherwise, your third party vote is just some tragically hip statement, like drinking crappy beer and listening to bad indie music.
