I have read a lot of the documentation about various indexes and types of queries. However, I've not seen clear explanations about which type of index to use for particular kinds of queries.
For my application, I need to query rather small XML documents. One table has about 3.5 million records in it; the 2 other tables about 2 million. I need to search the text() of the nodes for text, or attributes for a particular integer range or value. I need to use the XQuery functions "starts-with", "ends-with", and "matches" for the text. I would like this query to return results in less than a second.
What indexes should I implement? What type of query should I use (XQuery/SQL)?
I have been trying to find some good examples of queries using the @xpath syntax, but I've not found any. The one query I tried returned an error (which I can't an explanation for):
SQL20423N, The error message is ""IQQS0032E The query cannot be pro". SQLSTATE=38H10
Is there a Technical Article about the proper way to use @xpath?

Re: Best indexes and query to use?2010-02-02T18:44:58ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.Hi Kevin,
have you seen the following article:
"Exploit XML indexes for XML query performance in DB2 9"
Among various general guidelines for using XML indexes, this article contains a section on querying text nodes.
Both XQuery and SQL/XML can use the same XML indexes.
Full-text search predicates such as "ends-with", "contains", and so on require the use of a full-text index. DB2 offers two options for full-text search, the "Net Search Extender", and the "DB2 Text Search" features. The following resources provide more information:
Here are two simple examples to get you started with full-text search. The examples are taken from Chapter 19 of the DB2 pureXML Cookbook, and assume that "doc" is the name of an XML column in the table "orders":
Example of a DB2 Net Search Extender query:
SELECT doc FROM orders WHERE CONTAINS(doc, 'SECTION("/order/item/name") "Deluxe" ') = 1;
Example of a DB2 Text Search query:
SELECT doc FROM orders WHERE CONTAINS(doc, '@xpath:' '/order/item/name[. contains("Deluxe")]' ' ')=1;

I had read all but one of those articles (I've now read them all). Conspicuously absent from them are the XQuery functions, "ends-with", "starts-with", etc. I am going to have to use a SQL/XQuery query, as I need to select other data as well as utilize the aforementioned XQuery functions.
I've been doing a lot of "playing around" with queries and exploring tools such as db2expln and db2exfmt. I don't believe some of my queries are utilizing the DB2 Text Search index. Each of these should produce the same results (unless I messed up the syntax):
SELECT DOC FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, '@xpath:''/order/item/name'' ')=1
XQUERY for $i in db2-fn:sqlquery("select DOC FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, '@xpath:''//namehttp://. contains("Deluxe")''')=1") where $i//name return $i
These take about 45 seconds, each. I assume these two are doing the same thing, as any XQuery function took about the same amount of time ("starts-with", "ends-with"). That is, it pulls out the XML via sqlquery and then processes it with the XQuery function, right?
xquery for $i in db2-fn:xmlcolumn("ORDERS.DOC") where $i//name return $i
This one takes about 8 minutes. I assume it's not using an index at all. I have a SQL VARCHAR index on "name", but it didn't seem to use it. Should/could it have used the VARCHAR index for #3?
SELECT DOC FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, '@xpath:''//name'' ')=1 fetch first 50 rows only
This one produced results almost immediately, but doesn't give me the XQuery functions.
Also, I seemed to have run into a roadblock with searching for integer attribute values. According to db2exfmt, it used a text index on an integer value:
SELECT DOC FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, '@xpath:''//days
@shipping > 2'' ')=1
I have a SQL double index on //days/@shipping, but it didn't seem to use it. Can a text index "know" that 3 is greater than 2?
For my initial testing (a few months ago, v9.5), I had used Net Search Extender with a custom document model. However, it had a flaw. Specifically, there wasn't a way to search for the text() of the node. I.e., if I had an index on this (<XMLFieldDefinition name="street" locator="//street" />):
<street>wall street</street>
And I did a search for "street":
SELECT doc FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, SECTIONS("street")"street")=1
...it would return both documents, even though I only wanted the second one. Is there a way to just search the text()?
So, I'm not sure where to go from here. I'd like my results returned in a matter of seconds. I might have some more bottle-necks (like memory, disk I/O), but the fact that #4 give me results very quickly give me hope. Should I add more indexes? SQL Select into a TEMPORARY table and then process with XQuery? Are there indexes I can use to do substring matches (XQuery starts-with/ends-with/contains)? Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

I also posted some text search examples in my blog, including examples of expressing starts-with and ends-with predicates for the DB2 text index:http://nativexmldatabase.com/2010/02/21/get-started-with-xml-full-text-search-in-db2/
Let me make sure I understand the intention of your queries. Your queries 1), 3), and 4) do not specify a value to search for. So it looks like your intention is to find all documents that have a "name" element regardless of its value, is that correct? I don't know exactly what your XML documents look like, but chances are that all or many of them contain such a "name" element, in which case the use of an index is not very helpful, and the number of matching documents certainly influences the query response time quite a bit.
There are differences between "structural predicates", which look for the existence of some element, and "value predicates", which look for specific values within the XML elements.
Based on your query 3), here are examples of what I call a structural vs. a value predicate:
Structural predicate: where $i//name
Value predicate: where $i//name = "Kevin"
Structural predicates tend to be less common than value predicates.
Some comments on your queries:
Your 1st this query should use the DB2 Text Search index, if the index has been created and updated correctly.
In XQuery you can also use the function db2-fn:xmlcolumn-contains, which makes the query a little bit simpler. Here is an example:
xquery for $i in db2-fn:xmlcolumn-contains( 'ORDER.DOC', '@xpath:' '/Order/item/name[. contains("Shovel")]' '' ) return $i/Order;
The function db2-fn:xmlcolumn-contains specifies a text search predicate that is evaluated by the text index. The index indentifies a matching set of documents, hopefully a small subset of all documents in your table. The surrounding XQuery then operates on those documents only. The key thing is that the text index avoids a table scan over all documents.
Your 3rd query cannot use an XML index of type VARCHAR as is, because the predicate is a structural predicate, not a value predicate. But, it's easy to express a structural predicate as an equivalent value predicate. The following query looks for "name" elements whose value is greater than the empty string. This means, any document that contains a "name" element will be found:
xquery for $i in db2-fn:xmlcolumn( "ORDERS.DOC") where $i //name >= "" return $i;
This query can potentially use the following index:
create index idx1 on orders(doc) generate keys using xmlpattern '//name' as sql varchar(200);
However, if all or many documents contain a "name" element, i.e. if the predicate is not very selectve, then DB2 may decide that a table scan provides better performance than using an index.
Also note that using the double slash // tends to be more costly than using a fully specified xpath. For best performance, use fully specified xpaths where possible.
How many documents do you have in your table and how many of them contain a "name" element? The selectivity of your search predicate has a big impact on performance! If most or all of your documents contain a "name" element, then Query 4 is faster than the other queries simply because it only returns 50 matches, and not all matches.
Yes, the text index can evaluate numeric predicates on XML attributes. In your example, you coded the numeric predicate as a text search predicate using the "contains" function, and hence only the text index can be used.
Alternatively you can code a regular XML predicates:
select doc from order where xmlexists( '$DOC//days[@shipping > 2]'); xquery for $i in db2-fn:xmlcolumn( "ORDER.DOC") where $i //days/@shipping > 2 return $i;
Such queries can then use the following index:
create index idx2 on orders(doc) generate keys using xmlpattern '//days/@shipping' as sql double;
Hope this helps. Let us know how things go.

Sorry, you're right, my queries make no sense. :-) I think the forum coding screwed it up*. Basically, with #1-4, I wanted to test different queries that would "pull out all documents where 'name' contained the word 'Deluxe' in it". Let's see if this comes through better:
SELECT DOC FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, '@xpath:' '/order/item/name[. contains("Deluxe")]' ' ')=1
XQUERY for $i in db2-fn:sqlquery( "select DOC FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, '@xpath:''//name[. contains("Deluxe ")''')=1") where $i //name[contains(., "Deluxe")] return $i
XQUERY for $i in db2-fn:xmlcolumn( "ORDERS.DOC") where $i //name[contains(., "Deluxe")] return $i
SELECT DOC FROM ORDERS WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, '@xpath:' '//name[contains(., "Deluxe")]' ' ')=1 fetch first 50 rows only
5) I think this one came through "well enough". I did some testing with the newly formated query and it is fast.
I had a Net Search Extender that I was starting to play with. Now that I see a Text Search will get me closer, I'm reindexing using it. I will post another post when it gets done...Thanks again!!

I fully understand your frustration about the editing and display capabilities of this forum. For me I find that the forum works better in IE than in Firefox. When you edit a post you should see a legend with editing help on the right, and there should be a "preview" button at the top of the text box where you are writing. The "preview" helps. I never see the "preview" button in Firefox. Sometimes the preview button is missing even in IE, and when that happens I don't even start writing but discard the post right away and try again. On the 2nd try the "preview" button usually appears.
There is also a "Browse..." button to attach files. This is a nice option to provide your code samples without having to deal with the formatting.
Now that I see your queries better, I can offer a few more comments.
Query 1 can use the text index and should be fine. If this is slow, check the selectivity of the predicate and the size of the result set.
Query 2 can use the text index for the contains function in the SQL "where" clause within the db2-fn:sqlquery function, because that predicate is written for the text index. Query 2 cannot use any index for the XQuery contains function in the "where" clause of the flwor expression. That second contains predicate is redudant and can be omitted in this query.
Query 3 cannot use any index because the contains predicate is not written for the text index. Query 2 and 3 would better use db2-fn:xmlcolumn-contains.
Query 4: same as Query 1 but faster due to smaller result set.
Good luck! And yes, do post again when you have progress.

LOL. Ok, now I see the Plain Text Help and the Preview in Firefox. My default browser is Safari (I'm running Mac OS X) and nothing showed up. Even with FF, I had to do the Discard trick to see both. Ugh.
As for the other questions/suggestions. I don't know the structure of my XML, so I will have to use the double-slash // to search the document. Most of my documents in each table have many of the same elements in them. There are 3 tables--one has about 3.5 million rows in it (the table I'm running tests on); another one has about 470,000; the smallest one has about 160,000. Each document is pretty small, about 20-50k.
Thanks for the blog post. It's interesting that in your last example that uses "starts-with", you return all documents that "contains" with the db2-fn:xmlcolumn-contains function, and then use the XQuery function to filter the desired ones out. I'm not sure how well that will work for me, as it may be a lot of docs that are pulled out unnecessarily. I may have to try to FETCH a certain number of rows, process it with the XQuery, see if I have my desired number of results and FETCH again. (Or, I may use my application to pull out the desired results.) I am pulling out whole words, so I won't use a wildcard. Using a wildcard in my tests slowed things considerably (as I'd expect).
Like you say, #1 and #4 are the same. But, #4 returns results almost immediately. #1 has a long pause prior to returning all of the results. It gets to about 75% done and it pauses for several seconds. However, if I add "OPTIMIZE FOR 100 ROWS", #1 is just as fast. Why? (FWIW, many of the queries I've tried return fewer than 100 results.) Is there any harm in using OPTIMIZE FOR n ROWS? Also, is there a way to use OPTIMIZE FOR with 'db2-fn:xmlcolumn-contains'?
Another thing I've noticed is that when trying to return a subset of documents via XQuery, it takes a lot longer than if I return the entire set. Using the 'subsequence' function:
XQUERY let $results := ( for $i...return $i) return subsequence($results, 1, 50)
Without the 'subsequence', my query is quite fast. With the subsequence, it's very slow. Why? I've also tried using the position() function of returning a sub-set of results, but it was also slow. What's the best way of limiting the number of results when using XQuery?

the "optimize for n rows" clause can affect the query execution plan that is chosen by the DB2 optimizer, which may explain some of the differences you are seeing. As far as I understand your usage scenario, I think there is no harm in using "optimize for n rows". Applications that use text search often only want to display the first 20 or 50 results to the users, so "optimize for n rows" can make a lot of sense.
In your example with the subsequence() function, I suspect that the entire result of the "for $i ...return $i" gets computed and assigned to the variable $results before the desired subsequence is computed. That's probably something that could be optimized in DB2. For now you can wrap your XQuery in an XMLTABLE function and use the SQL clause "fetch first n rows only":
select *
from xmltable('for $i in ... return $i')
fetch first 50 rows only;
Maybe this works for you.

Re: Best indexes and query to use?2011-06-09T19:53:03ZThis is the accepted answer. This is the accepted answer.hi Ruchi04,
It is generally not advised to use certain characters, such a "dot", in XML element names because certain software can misinterpret the character. The following statement is from XMLSCHOOLS.COM:
"Avoid "." characters. If you name something "first.name," some software may think that "name" is a property of the object "first." "
That being said, you have two choices (the first may not be feasible):
1. replace the element names that contain "." with a more suitable name
2. escape (as you asked) - again using W3SCHOOLS as a reference it shows "." as the escape for the period (dot) character.
(http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_ascii.asp )
BTW, your post got appended to a previous discussion topic so it might be overlooked by others.

Its not possible to replace the dot with something else.. Its basically a HL7 message that is converted into xml.
I tried using .. It did not work for me.
SELECT author, bookno
FROM books_TS
WHERE CONTAINS(bookinfo,
'@xpath:''/bookinfo/message/message.11/pt.1/''') = 1
I am not sure if this escape sequence works for db2 text search

- ruchi04 270004962B
although using dots in element names is not a good practice, I think that the DB2 Text Search ought to be able to handle it. This might be a bug in DB2 Text Search and might require a fix. We're looking into it, but please do open a PMR if you can.

Do we have a work around for escaping the dot in node name..I have tried a couple of escape sequences. It did not work. Also it is not possible for us to change the XML attribute name.

Imagine being a sophomore in high school and spending the day in the NICU neo-natal unit at the hospital. That's just one of the jobs that six students from Waco High got to experience Thursday, February 2.
Thanks to a collaboration between the Waco Chamber of Commerce, Region 12 ESC and Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest, the program had its first ever "Groundhog Day Job Shadowing" event and hosted six students in as many different departments.
One of the Waco students was Hallie Morgan, who worked alongside Megan Washington, a nurse manager for one of the hospital floors.
Another student, Kevin Sifuentes, shadowed Kathy Patterson, the hospital's blood bank supervisor and learned the ins and outs of the lab, whole blood, platelets, plasma, and more. Patterson's department is in charge of the 300-500 units of blood needed to meet the needs of patients in Waco each month.
Destiny Acevedo had the opportunity to be in the MICU or Medical Intensive Care Unit working with Megan Holmberg. Acevedo said she learned there was a lot more math skills involved than she imagined when it comes to critical care because of patient medications, IVs, and dietary restrictions. It certainly gave her something to think about.
WHS student Marilyn Rangel spent her time with two young enthusiastic pediatric nurses, Kelsi Roberts and Jaylan Bible. The nurses sang the praises of their unit, the work they do with children, and the great working environment at BSWH. Both had plans to take advantage of the hospital's tuition program that pays for their employees to complete even higher educational goals.
Thomas Ramirez, who we met in the NICU neonatal unit, may have been the most impacted student of the day. He spent his time with Brenda Aycock, a long time neonatal RNC-NIC in a room full of infants in incubators. She told an inspiring story of a little boy who weighed only 11 ounces at birth, but with the help of nurses and doctors that child is now home with his parents.
The final stop of the day was in the breast imaging center and a visit with Yesenia Carpio. She was able to learn from Michelle Wilson, the center manager, who explained how they spend their days helping women of all ages.
The job shadowing project coordinator at the hospital is David Blackwell, the Vice President of Operations. He hopes the job shadowing event can become a regular event with all 16 student slots filled by future healthcare practitioners.
The groundhog officially saw his shadow Thursday, but that didn't compare with what these WHS students were able to see and experience. This new collaborative initiative, along with a group of caring hospital employees willing to share their time, compassion and skills could lead to a new career path for the students and a positive impact on our community.

im sleeping over my boyfriends house and my parents think its my friends house. Do you think anything will go wrong like ways she would find out? he's picking me up and driving me home.
Im 15 years old sleeping over my boyfriends house?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
U shouldn't have a boyfriend that can drive if ur only 15.
Does your parents know your boyfriend is 18 or older
Im not a prude. You shouldn't be afraid to talk to your parents about sex or your boyfriend.
If you have to hide it then you probably shouldn't be doing it00|00|0
What Girls Said 2
If your friends parents are friends with your parents, then I see this going badly. If not, I don't see a whole lot of ways that they would find out, but that doesn't mean lying to them is a good idea.00|00|0
there not friends
Even if they aren't, I hate lying to people because it always seems to come back and bite me in the butt later.
Honesty is the best policy, and your parents knows what is right for you. That is the reason why you are hiding it, because if you confronted them about that, you know what would be their response. Be honest with yourself, what if you get hurt? Or something terrible happens because you are constantly living in lies to please someone. At the end of the day, your concious will burn you deeper and deeper soon. All lies comes out in the light, you guys can be even 3years strong and you haven't got caught. You don't know what tomorrow brings, so you cannot expect everyday to be sunshiny day. Be wise and make the right choices.21|10|0
You probably don't have to tell your parents, but the thought of you lying, makes the situation even more tense. Do what's right, it isn't okay.. And imagine loosing all of your parents trust because of a silly mistake like this, they will find out. It's best for you to quit the wrongs and start doing what's right. Because the road you are heading doesn't seem bright, and if you know it will bite you in butt? Why do it continuously if you know sooner or later you will serve the consequences. Think before you do, we will all make mistakes that we can fall down and get up from. But loosing your parents trust is a mistake that won't be erased.
If sleeping over you're boyfriends house is the only way to prove your love to him, think about it? Does he really love you? You guys aren't married and don't need to be in specific contact in that way, love from a distance if that guarantees the Love you guys have for each other. But don't put yourself in a certain position for a boyfriends that's most likely temporary. At the end of the day, he wouldn't get in trouble, you would , so there isn't any risks he's taking. Are you even comfortable sleep at night, thinking about how you are constantly lying to your parents? No harm no rudeness towards you, but I just have to be blunt about this. It isn't right, and change for your own good.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the most common type of research degree, studied over three to four years.
Masters in Research degrees are one-year or two-year programmes, which can be a valuable foundation for starting a PhD.
Professional doctorates are for those who are already qualified to an advanced level in a specialist area and want to deepen their knowledge. They include EngD programmes, in which students spend about 75 per cent of their time within industry working on collaborative research projects.
Funded doctoral training programmes can provide full scholarships for three to four years of training and study. They are especially popular in science and engineering.
The centres for doctoral training are run in partnership with other universities. This partnership allows access to a wealth of resources.
Supporting your research
On a doctoral programme you'll conduct original research under the close supervision of academic experts. You'll have the opportunity to study within core research themes from across faculties and cross-disciplinary research institutes.
Our researchers have access to high-spec research facilities at Bristol and our partner universities.
Research graduate careers
Our research graduates follow a wide range of career paths in academia, research, the public sector, industry and non-governmental organisations.
More than 90 per cent of graduates are in employment or further study within six months of graduation.
Online and distance learning programmes
We offer taught programmes with distance learning and online learning options. You can study part or all of the following programmes remotely:
- MA Translation
- Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Neuropsychology
- MSc Reproduction and Development

Many of our programmes are available to study part-time. Check the prospectus details to see if part-time study is available.
If you are an international student, you will need to check your visa requirements; student visas are not generally issued for part-time study in the UK.
Bristol Doctoral College
The Bristol Doctoral College provides information, guidance and resources to all postgraduate research students at all stages of their degree.
We support the research community through collaborative events, interactive workshops and engagement opportunities. These activities help you get the most out of your studies and develop the skills to succeed, whatever your chosen career.

Ex's New gf and introducing daughter(6 Posts)
Hi first time here, bear with me. My partner ended our 13 year relationship 14 months ago a week before our daughters first birthday. He has been spending time with his daughter and our break up has been fairly amicable, however now he has met a new woman he told he this via a text message. Intial text said I have met a new girl "at the moment it is not serious"
Then couple of days later he came round so i said to him the only thing i want to say to you is not to introduce her to our DD until he was sure it was serious. He then said well it is serious and they have already met although we are taking it slowly. Im mad as hell about this
The following day I asked for the keys back to apartment (joint owned) as he would only text me a couple of minutes before arriving and sometimes just let himself in i said the time had come as he was in new relationship i needed to have some privacy and help me mentally move on, told "no way" after further explanation and becoming upset because i explained im finding it difficult not having the family unit i wanted, he said he would think about keys.
He then took DD for the weekend
The following morning to prove my privacy point i texted to say i was going to be at his apartment in 5 mins (never been before) however when i got there (in 2 mins) new gf was just leaving she left just before i got out of car, we have never met but i know it was her, and it was obvious she had stayed over and was due to spend day there with my DD, hardley taking it slowly!! when i went to apartment i said im proving my privacy point but i also asked him if she had stayed (i didnt say i had saw her leave)he said im not going to answer that as its none of your businesss. I suppose it isnt but he lied about her contact with my DD and then it is my business. However he does not see this
I have no problem with him having new gf but a have a problem with my daughter being with them together she is not speaking yet (26 months)and may get confused and it would break my heart if she calls her mama before me
I dont know what im asking really just need to get of my chest and see how others coped also some feedback on my ex's behaviour and what to do say now without coming accross as a jealous ex!
Chin up i suppose .............
Firstly, just change the locks.
Secondly, I really wouln't go around making conditions about new gf seeing or meeting DD.
You either trust him as a parent or not.
The best answer to him is that you trust his judgement as a dad.
Otherwise, you are leaving yourself vulnerable to his interference should you start dating someone.
Good point thanks for taking time to reply
You need to be careful you don't come accross as a jealous ex here and create a divide for no other reason than you are feeling a hint of jealousy.
If he is good with you daughter then it really is up to him to decide when is the right time to introduce her.
She might be a really nice girl and be a positive influence on your daughters life.
If you start turning up unannounced then she might take an instant dislike to you and it could cause problems that your daughter doesn't need to be involved in.
Life is too short for regrets/jealousy etc....
I know it must be hard because 14 months is nothing, it really isn't.... but your daughter is no more likely to call this new gf mama than she is to call the postman mama. She knows who mama is.
Also, as PAINFUL as it may be now, other posters are right when they say that in the future you too will want a bit of freedom. for the sake of YOUR future, swallow your discomfort and allow your daughter to go. SO much the better if it is a regular time every week so that you get some me time that you can plan around.
Thank you yes i have feelings of jealously because a new woman is spending quality time with my precious daughter. I also realise this is a step im going to have to handle at some point and i must keep my dignity.
Well i have swallowed my discomfort and pain and I have let her go this morning and been out on a long hike to take my mind off it.
I think the most difficult part is i was so looking forward to being a family unit and now i feel she will have that with them instead, i feel like im being replaced in a way. Yes daft i know!
Maleview... i only went to his apartment the other day to prove my privacy point (he turns up at mine letting himself in or just texting 2 mins before) i really wasn't expecting her to be there it was a shock as just 2 days previously he had told me he was introducing her slowly well a whole night and day is not slowly to me
Anyway i havn't said anymore on this too him i am concentrating on my time with my DD and am going to plan things to do when they are together i am determined to keep my dignity and not say jealous comments, i may ask to meet her next week!
Difficult times sigh

"An Estimate of the Number of Family Members of Suicide Victims in Japan" (in Japanese)
This paper contributes to the literature of suicide studies by presenting procedures for estimating the number of family members who lose their loved ones to suicide. Using Japanese data, three main findings emerge: first, there are approximately five bereaved family members per suicide; second, in 2006, there were about 90,000 children who had lost a parent to suicide; and third, in 2006, there were about three million living family members who had lost a loved one to suicide.

text: As someone with a business background, I found the experience incredible. The fast-paced environment of a startup allowed me to not only utilize my knowledge in finance to help the company raise seed capital, but also assist in their day-to-day operations. Through my work, I was also able to attend many networking events and develop connections with prominent entrepreneurs and venture capital firms down in Latin America. In regards to my actual experience in Argentina, although I only had very limited understanding of Spanish, the Sage Corps program provided me with a once in a lifetime experience in an incredible country with a rich culture and a vibrant history.

Do not panic! Houston, we've got a problem! But thankfully Google had the answer. I was in the middle of a transcription job; on my last hour of six hours of transcription, when low and behold I pressed some odd combination of keys and my screen turned sideways! What the heck is going on here?! I didn't know what combination of keys I pressed, nor did I know what combination of keys to press to fix the problem. So I thought okay. (more…)

V8 E-Class represents an interplay of innovative hardware, chemistry and software design, delivering greater quantitative capability, improved sensitivity for low-concentration samples, and increased linearity of monoclonal quantification.
V8 E-Class resolves many of the historical issues (see below) with resolution and accuracy that have affected previous generations of CE analyser, producing superior signal-to-noise levels and sharper responses for clearly resolved traces.
On other capillary analysers, issues of protein dispersal within the capillary lead to poor resolution and an inability to discern bands clearly. Historical attempts to solve this usually involve increasing the effective detection path length in an effort to boost resolution.

Hi there,
What's the best code and location for it if I want to force an amount of rows in the product category pages?
For example, on some mobile devices it shows 2 items per row, but on smaller screens it shows just 1 item per row which doesn't look good, how can I force it to be 2? Equally on desktop version how can I force it to always be 3 items per row?
Thanks in advance

2014 Midwest Regional
In two weeks, NCAA March Madness descends on Indianapolis as the 2014 Men's Basketball Championship presses forward at Lucas Oil Stadium. With the regional semi-final round on Friday, the four remaining teams from the Midwest Regional will face off to move one step closer to a national title. When the final horn sounds and the court dissolves back into sand on Sunday, only the regional's top squad will be left standing.
Though seeds and match-ups won't be finalized until March 16, it's safe to assume the weekend will be packed with heart-pumping moments. A year ago, upsets riddled the championship's opening rounds like pot holes, busting brackets and thrusting underdog teams into the spotlight during these NCAA Sweet 16 and Elite 8 rounds.

PHILADELPHIA - The Penn women's squash team starts its 2008-09 season this weekend with three separate matches over the two days. The Quakers will begin the weekend with a match against Cornell on Saturday at 11 a.m. and then Middlebury at 4 p.m. The opening weekend will culminate with Stanford on Sunday at 11 a.m. The Red and Blue are ranked No. 2 in the CSA preseason poll, the same place they finished last season, with nemesis Princeton taking the top spot.
The team is led by senior co-captains Emily Goodwin and Alisha Turner. While Goodwin will be out for the start of the regular season due to injury, Penn has all three of its All-American players back for the season --Kristen Lange (first-team), Sydney Scott (second-team) and Turner (second-team).
Lange, who will most likely play inthe top spot of the ladder, was runner-up at the CSA Individual Championships tournament and finished the season 10-1 overall and 5-1 in the Ivy League. She went 3-0 at Howe Cup, including a match-clinching 3-0 victory at No. 1 against Trinity. Turner and Scott, who played a mix of both the Nos. 2 and 3 positions, will round out the top of the ladder. Turner ended the season with a No. 12 national ranking, while posting an 8-1 overall record. Scott finished the season ranked No. 13 and went 5-4 overall, including 3-0 at the Howe Cup.
Senior Tara Chawla, juniors Britt Hebden and Christina Matthias and sophomore Annie Madeira will make contributions to the middle of the ladder. Chawla finished the season with a No. 23 individual national ranking while going 10-2 overall. Hebden went 9-2 overall, 5-1 in the Ivy League playing primarily at the Nos. 4 and 5 positions, while Matthias posted 10-2 overall record and 4-2 in Ivy play, primarily playing in the No. 6 position. Madeira completed an undefeated regular season with a team-best 12-0 record, primarily from the No. 7 position
Senior Anita Sellers and Allie Friedman will add depth to the ladder. In addition, the Quakers will welcome one new member to the squad in Taylor Booth, a freshman from Brooklyn, N.Y.
First-up for Penn on Saturday is Cornell this is also the Big Red's first match of the regular season. Cornell is ranked No. 7 in the CSA preseason national poll and last season the Quakers handed the Big Red an 8-1 loss in Ithaca, N.Y. to start of the season.
Following the morning match, Penn will host Middlebury on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers already have one win on their schedule, an 8-1 decision over Hamilton. Middlebury will make stops at Columbia on Friday evening and Haverford Saturday morning before arriving at Ringe Courts.
The Red and Blue will finish opening weekend with a final match on Sunday morning against No. 6 Stanford. Philadelphia is the last stop during Stanford's east coast road trip which also includes Trinity and Princeton.

Recipe by Muffin Goddess
Funny name for a boiled pudding from the Caribbean that is reminiscent of tamales dulces. Posted for ZWT, untried by me. Adapted from "Around the World in 450 Recipes".
Top Review by Jostlori
I must admit, I was intrigued... I grew up eating homemade sweet tamales and this did sound like something similar. But if you're used to tamales made from fresh corn masa, then anything made from cornmeal is going to be disappointing. Still - I WAS intrigued! I originally made the Duckanoo exactly as written, but tasting the dough was enough to know there was going to be something missing. When you make sweet tamales, the uncooked dough is always waaaaay sweeeeet! And it tempers during cooking. So these weren't sweet enough. I more than doubled the sugar and added honey. Also added a lot of cinnamon to taste (it would probably benefit from a ground cinnamon stick, as in tamales. I added some fresh pineapple, chopped, and more butter. When done, they were still a bit bland, so I topped with some leftover bananas foster syrup and a dollop of runny whipped cream. They were good, but next time will just go with what I know - sweet tamales! This was a fun experiment and glad I tried it. Thanks for posting, MG! Made for ZWT9 Tropical Dessert Challenge. Team Gourmet Goddesses.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 cups fine cornmeal
- 12 ounces fresh coconut, chopped
- 2 1⁄2 cups whole milk
- 3⁄4 cup raisins (either golden or dark)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄2 cup raw sugar (such as Sugar in The Raw)
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- freshly whipped sweetened cream (optional, for serving)
Directions See How It's Made
- Place the cornmeal in a large bowl. In a food processor or blender, process the coconut and milk until smooth. Stir the coconut mixture into the cornmeal, then add all the remaining ingredients and stir well.
- Fold six pieces of foil into 5" x6" pockets, leaving one short side open. Fold all other edges tightly to ensure that they are well-sealed.
- Put one or two large spoonfuls of the mixture in each pocket, and fold the edge over to seal tightly.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the sealed foil packets into the boiling water, cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Remove the packets from the water, remove the foil, and serve the duckanoo by themselves, or with sweetened whipped cream.

When I set the timing on my 2.5 L Subaru engine I can never get the timing marks on the belt to line up perfectly with the plastic cover marks.
On my chain drive Porsche engines, I can adjust the the cams to get them dead on by using the adjustment on the cam sprocket and a dial indicator on a valve. When the degree on the crank is at the set point and I have 1mm valve lift, I lock in the cam sprocket.
Using the plastic housing as a reference point doesn't appear the most exact way to make the adjustment.
I have seen the eccentric adjusters that can adjust the slack in the belt to make the timing adjustment closer but, if the eccentric should slip, there goes the engine. With the Porsche system, there is a series of off centered holes for a pin that when lined up will keep the adjustment from total failure if the locking nut should slip.
Is there a better way to precisely adjust the cams in the Subaru engine? Are all timing belts the same length? How do you compensate for a decked block?

Tradeshift.com is all about invoicing. Businesses can centralize their invoicing needs to a single, web-based tool. The application makes it easier for users to construct professional, accurate invoices to send to clients. These can be sent as well as received online. Tradeshift allows real time updating so the user can see the most recent version as well as any recent payment data and other important details. Tradeshift automatically validates invoice information to ensure that each document sent is complete and includes all the data the recipient needs to make payment quickly. The user can build a network of contacts and send messages as well as invoices to keep an open line of communication going. Tradeshift is also available for Android mobile devices.Show more screenshots »
Overall, Tradeshift has been welcomed with a positive response since it was founded in 2009. The application officially launched in 2010. Since then, users have noted a few areas that are lacking that could use improvement. Tradeshift requires users to download individual apps, which can be a bit inconvenient. Users cannot add images of products or custom formatting to text fields, either. Users can create a simple invoice using Tradeshift, as long as they do not plan to add too many customizations.
Tradeshift has many appealing options that make it a good choice for some businesses. Users can stay in touch with contacts and view payment status, which is definitely a good thing but not an original function. Tradeshift can handle many of the same tasks that other, similar applications can however it is entirely web based and very economical. Users who don't mind a somewhat bare bones invoice can really appreciate what Tradeshift has to offer.
Tradeshift keeps everything neat and tidy so nothing feels out of place. That means the entire experience remains professional as the user builds and sends invoices. The plain background keeps the invoice data at the forefront. The Android app utilizes a similar color scheme and interface so the user never feels lost no matter which platform they are creating and sending invoices on. Tradeshift may be somewhat limited, but it is definitely not lacking in the area of convenience.
Tradeshift stays ready to welcome new users by keeping its registration form posted right on the homepage. A newcomer can fill out the three simple boxes displayed along the left hand side. These require an email address, company name and country location (which can be selected from the drop down box provided). The user can click the green "Sign Up" button below the form to submit it. A small note below the button advises the user that by submitting their information they are agreeing to the Tradeshift terms of service and privacy policy.
The cost of Tradeshift is one of the most appealing features it has to offer. All users can sign up and create invoices for free. The user is not restricted in terms of feature access and can communicate with contacts as well as send invoices. Tradeshifts keeps the user informed and provides a number of easy to use tools to build professional invoices all at the attractive price of free.
Tradeshift.com is a great tool for anyone that wishes to create simple, clean invoices. The application is free to use, so small businesses and startups may find it even more appealing than paid alternatives. The user can customize their invoice in terms of text, although there are a few limitations. That being said, Tradeshift provides real time updates and allows the user to send messages to contacts so issues can be worked out and invoices can get paid faster.

Carbon Fiber AR15
I was looking at the carbon fiber AR15 and was wondering if anyone has any info on it, whether it's good or not. They said its accurate but kind of skeptical on it life cycle. Thanks.
if your talking about the Bushmaster carbon 15 its carbon composite , no true woven carbon in it , but your right there have been some issues with this gun and some have run flawless, personally I would save a little bit more $$$ and buy something of better quality
I have one it's fine for now but ima be honest I'm thinking about getting a better built one that I don't have to worry about bc I put 100 rounds a weekend thru it
Ah, the Bushmaster AR C-15 Ultra Lite. I purchased mine as a winter project to dress it up and change and see what I could do with it. It was inexpensive ($599.00) and I had high end AR's so I was not concerned as to it effectiveness. It came with a Bushnell Mini Red Dot, 2 - 30 round mags, a half inch riser, sling (cheap) and a hard case. Not bad for the price.
I too had the funny feeling about it being a plastic gun. Well sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. This time I guess I won.
The only two parts that are Carbon Fiber is the upper receiver and the lower receiver, all the rest of the gun is standard AR parts (metal) with the exception of the handguard and butt stock. The fit and fuction is better than a lot of metal AR's I used and except for the weight (5.6 lbs) you can not tell that it is Carbon Fiber gun.
If it wasn't for the fact that I have used and own a number of plastic handguns (Beretta PX4 Storm, FNH FNP-40, Taurus PT-140, Ruger P-97) I too might have passed on this gun.
Well, to make a long story short, after changing what I wanted on it ($165.00 additional) it is my goto self-defence (fun) gun, if I wanted or need to, I can change out the two carbon fiber parts for very low cost (not needed).
You can get the M&P Scout for around the same price (all metal) but I like Bushmaster and their accurate barrels and chambers (all else is just add-on's and pretty much the same.)
But for $400.00 less (than most AR's) you can not go wrong, just check out the gun completely before you buy.
Thanks for all the info guys. I think I might just spend a little more and get an all metal AR. Nice to have a place where there is this much knowledge available.
BIG JIM- Is that flashlight mount on your AR also the gas block or is there a low pro gas block under the forearm? I like that mount
I would suggest you read through this thread. http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f20/polymer-ar-15-lower-64685/
It may shed some light on the perceived short comings of polymer lowers. I'm not trying to change your mind about what you want to buy. Only trying to make sure you see both sides of the coin before spending money.
Here is a link to a company called Christensen Arms! They make some parts that are carbon fiber and were one of the first companies to step out and start doing so. http://www.christensenarms.com/ They are top of the line (and their price shows it) I personally like Black Rain Ordinance although they do not have a carbon fiber rifle they do make great quality rifles! Hope this helps!
Here is a a quote from their rifles!
"Built on the AR-10 platform, the CA-10 Recon delivers a new level of long range precision in a rapid-fire. We have applied our expertise in Custom rifle making, to create the finest, lightest, and most accurate AR-10 on the market. Calibers include: .243 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Win, and the .338 Federal.
The CA-10 is built with our Carbon-wrapped, Match-grade barrels and is tipped with a titanium flash-hider or muzzle-brake. The handguard is constucted out of Carbon fiber to lighten the front-end and create better overall balance. "
^The highest performing most accurate AR on the market? I wonder how they came to that conclusion?
Christensen Arms does not make a carbon/polymer lower or upper receiver. They make a carbon wrapped "match grade" barrel and a carbon fiber fore arm. That's a far cry from what RUNINMAN is looking at.

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys defensive line started coming together years ago, even before some of the current players had arrived.
La'Roi Glover, Leo Carson and Jason Ferguson -- no longer with the team -- started something special away from the field that's continuing now.
"We're going to be a team," current nose tackle Jay Ratliff said of what those previous linemen told younger players. "We're going to be a unit and you're going to get in line, and that's the way it's always been. We discipline each other and we have this saying: 'No one man is bigger than the group.' And that's how we go about our business."
This season, the deep defensive line has eight of the Cowboys' 21 sacks and 56 of the team's 156 quarterback pressures.
The heart and soul of the unit starts in the middle with Ratliff, a first-time Pro Bowl selection last season who receives praise from coach Wade Phillips on a daily basis.
Ratliff, who is double-teamed on a weekly basis because of his quickness and strength, is second on the team with four sacks and his 14 quarterback pressures is fourth.
At left end is Marcus Spears, a 2005 first-round pick who is strong against the run, plays with good leverage and has contributed two sacks and eight quarterback pressures this season.
Newcomer Igor Olshansky is at right end. He's also good versus the run and is able to push the pocket very well. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound Olshansky, who came here via free agency after spending five years in San Diego, is one of the biggest players in the league. He has just one sack, but he has four quarterback pressures and has knocked down three passes.
"They have some talent, but they maximize their assets," line coach Todd Grantham said. "The big thing with those guys is they have a lot of pride in their work and they all play with very good effort. They play very physical and they're mentally tough in doing their jobs and accountable."
That accountability extends to backup linemen such as Jason Hatcher, Stephen Bowen and Junior Siavii. They all get extensive playing time on the nickel and dime packages.
The best thing is we all get along. Away from the game and in the locker room, there's a bond there. ... We're a pretty loose group.
"-- Cowboys lineman Stephen Bowen
Every Saturday on the road, the defensive linemen go to dinner: Del Friscos in Philadelphia, Fogo de Chao in Kansas City ... they even took over a steakhouse in Denver.
Green Bay better get ready for some big guys coming to a restaurant near you.
"The best thing is we all get along," Bowen said. "Away from the game and in the locker room, there's a bond there. When we go to those places, it's a time to not worry about football until the next day. We're a pretty loose group."
But the players put high expectations on each other.
At the start of the 2007 season, Ferguson suffered a biceps injury, forcing Ratliff to take over the starting role. Before every game, Ferguson, who was traded to the Dolphins after that season, talked to Ratliff about the tendencies of the opposing offensive linemen.
Ratliff and Spears have expanded on those discussions with Siavii, who gets limited snaps as Ratliff's backup, but puts pressure on himself.
"I wanted to follow their lead," Siavii said. "When we're in the game, we try to help each other out. The group helps me a lot just because of the friendship we have as a group. During the game, Jay will be there and tell me tips, look out for splits and that kind of stuff. So when I go out there, I've already picked up what's about to happen, same with Spears and Igor."
The Packers, the Cowboys' opponent Sunday, have allowed a league-high 37 sacks. Their offensive line has been juggled around due to injuries: The Packers have started three different left tackles, two left guards, two centers and two right tackles.
Ratliff doesn't expect things to be easy. But he does know the line will prepare well and expects to make an impact.
"That's why I love our group," Ratliff said. "We all contribute. We all have our little personalities and we're all together and either one of us can play any position on the defensive line. You can have Igor at nose or end; same thing with Hatcher, Spears and Bowen. All those guys can play the same position.
"[The Packers] are more physical, and we have to be prepared for that. It will be a good challenge for us in the run game."

Interpretation of neuronal response properties with simplified neuron models
Computational neuroscience is a branch of the neurosciences that attempts to elucidate the principles underlying the operation of neurons with the help of mathematical modeling. In contrast with a number of fields pursuing a tightly related goal, such as machine learning or statistical learning, computational neuroscience emphasizes the realistic description of neuronal function and organization, and therefore requires a collaboration with experimental research in order to design new models and test their predictions. With the growing computational power available in modern computers, the simulation of neuronal networks with realistic numbers of neurons and functional organization is becoming routinely accessible. For the accurate design of such network models, the experimental characterization of neuronal response properties is required to probe the structural layout of biological networks at the single cell level. We develop here a novel method, the dynamic I-V method, that allows for the extraction of cellular response properties, and requires only a small amount of experimental data. Using this technique a simplified model of the neuronal response is obtained that is shown to accurately fit the experimental data. We demonstrate the use of the dynamic I-V method on both cortical pyramidal cells and inhibitory interneurons, and give the distributions of cellular parameters for the studied sample of cells. We also give theoretical results on the spike-triggered average, a quantity that is easily measured experimentally, which relate the neuronal response properties to identifiable features of the spike-triggered average, and can potentially be helpful to extend the dynamic I-V method in order to derive more accurate models. Potential applications and extensions of our results are discussed.

IcemCFD: Controlling size of hexes in Hexa-Core?
From my use of the hexa-core meshing option, the central hexes appear to be sized based on some average of the surface meshes the hexa-core algorithm builds from. Generally, the hexa-core mesher is very "greedy" trying to convert as much of the tet mesh into a hex core as possible.
This tends to leave only a few layers of tets between the hex core and the surface mesh, resulting in very low tet mesh quality. I would like to force the core hexes to be larger such that more tet layers are left between the hexes and the surface mesh, which wwould offer the smoothing algorithms more scope to improve the mesh quality.
However I havnt found any method of forcing the central hexes to be any larger. Does anyone know how to do this?
Changing the global mesh size parameter has no effect unless it is set such that it makes the core hexes smaller, which is the axact opposite of what i'm trying to achieve! :)
Re: IcemCFD: Controlling size of hexes in Hexa-Cor
I do remember there was some setting of hexa-core mesh size in the tab where you set the prism-mesh parameters for different parts. there was also the body to which you could assign the hexa-core size.
hope I'm right and it helps.
Re: IcemCFD: Controlling size of hexes in Hexa-Cor
The mesh by parts dialog only lets you set a maximum size not a minimum size.
Re: IcemCFD: Controlling size of hexes in Hexa-Cor
The size specified in the Mesh Parameters by Parts is the size for all of the hexa-core elements. It's a one-size deal.
Re: IcemCFD: Controlling size of hexes in Hexa-Cor
So have you been able to change the hexa core hex size *without* changing the surface mesh sizes? i.e. by changing some volumetric mesh size parameter? If so, which one? My experiance has been that any volumetric parameters set larger than what the algorithm deems is the average of the surface mesh sizes is simply ignored?

Reporter: Sarah Ferguson
Broadcast: 14/04/2008
When sordid tales of sex and money and development deals spilled out of the Wollongong anti-corruption hearings, Labor luminaries dashed for cover.
They rejected any stain of corruption and, if voters remained sceptical, vowed to reform political donations laws at federal and NSW level.
But the damage was done. Wollongong laid bare the cosy relationships between developers and a NSW Labor machine that long ago had mastered the system of fundraising.
"Many of these people don't see a light on the hill any more," one disillusioned Labor man tells Four Corners. "They see a 200-lot subdivision."
Four Corners looks at how politics can be poisoned when donors are seen as buying access and partiality from decision-makers. The line between making a no-strings donation and buying favour has become so trampled as to be almost invisible.
For big developers, donations are a pre-requisite to deal-making, says a former anti-corruption watchdog. "It's necessary to be part of the club."
They're also seen as more or less another business overhead. "No one wants to pay them if they don't have to," one developer candidly tells reporter Sarah Ferguson. "We've just dealt with it as a factor of business."
While donors' degree of access may depend on the size of their gift, a similar equation applies to MPs. The more money the MP can attract to party coffers, the better his or her career prospects. "Theres a risk some people think they can earn brownie points by bringing in the dollars," admits a senior party official. As Four Corners shows, there's also a risk of individual MPs becoming lobbyists for a patron developer, union or industry group.
Among givers and takers, political donations are mostly taboo as a topic of open discussion. But this report, Sarah Ferguson's first for Four Corners, features rare candour from some key players in the Wollongong scandal and higher up the food chain. It illustrates some of the notorious Wollongong events but goes further to examine subtler, more insidious pressures at work, away from Wollongong and dangerously far from the public's view.
"Dirty, Sexy Money" Four Corners at 8.30 pm Monday 14 April, on ABC1.
This program will be repeated about 11.35 pm Tuesday 15 April; also on ABC2 at 8 am Tuesday.

As Noam recounts, he played the banjo as a youngster, but like so many of us, was seduced by the guitar by the time he hit sixteen. In Noam's case, it was the flatpicking style of Tony Rice and David Grier, and later Clarence White that fueled his guitar taste. Clarence White led him to a fascination with Telecaster music and chicken pickin'.
