Dolomedes ( /dɒləˈmiːdiːz/) is a genus of large spiders of the family Pisauridae. They are also known as fishing spiders, raft spiders, dock spiders or wharf spiders. Almost all Dolomedes species are semi-aquatic, with the exception of the tree-dwelling D. albineus of the southwestern United States. Many species have a striking pale stripe down each side of the body.
They hunt by waiting at the edge of a pool or stream, then when they detect the ripples from prey, they run across the surface to subdue it using their foremost legs, which are tipped with small claws; like other spiders they then inject venom with their hollow jaws to kill and digest the prey. They mainly eat insects, but some larger species are able to catch small fish. They can also climb beneath the water, when they become encased in a silvery film of air.
There are over a hundred species of Dolomedes throughout the world; examples include Dolomedes aquaticus, a forest-stream species of New Zealand, the raft spider (D. fimbriatus), which lives in bogs in Europe, and the great raft spider (D. plantarius), which lives in fens, also in Europe. Many species are large, some with females up to 26 mm (1.0 in) long with a leg span of 80 mm (3.1 in).[1]
Aquatic adaptations
Dolomedes spiders are covered all over in short, velvety hairs which are unwettable (hydrophobic). This allows them to use surface tension to stand or run on the water, like pond skaters. They can also climb beneath the water, and then air becomes trapped in the body hairs and forms a thin film over the whole surface of the body and legs, giving them the appearance of fine polished silver. Like other spiders, Dolomedes breathe with book lungs beneath their abdomens, and these open into the air film, allowing the spiders to breathe while submerged. The trapped air makes them very buoyant and if they do not hold onto a rock or a plant stem they float to the surface where they pop onto the surface film, completely dry.
Hunting behaviour
Rather than hunting on land or by waiting in a web, these spiders hunt on the water surface itself, preying on mayflies, other aquatic insects, and even small fish.[2][3] For fishing spiders, the water surface serves the same function as a web does for other spiders. They extend their legs onto the surface, feeling for vibrations given off by prey.
Dolomedes are nocturnal hunters, feeding when birds, their main predators, are sleeping. The method they use to fish for insects is to hold on to the shore with their back legs while the rest of their body lies on the water, with legs stretched out. Dolomedes species tend to be robust with thickset legs that allow them to tackle prey larger than themselves. They stretch out their front legs and wait, as if listening. Their front legs feel the vibrations carried on the water, just as other spiders feel the vibrations in a web. They are able to tell what is causing the vibrations that the water is carrying - to distinguish the drawn-out, erratic vibrations of a struggling insect from the one-off vibrations caused by falling leaves or the background noise of the wind or the flow of the water around rocks and other obstacles. As well as identifying the source of the vibrations, the spiders are also able to discern the distance and direction to the source. To this end they have a range of vibration-detecting organs, including very sensitive hairs (trichobothria) on their legs and feet. Their eyes play a secondary role - experiments on related species show that touch is the main sense these spiders use to catch their prey. Their eyes are of little use for nocturnal hunting. These vibration detectors also serve to warn the spider of predators such as trout.
As soon as the vibrations reveal that there is a floundering insect within range, some fishing spiders may take direct action - they run at pace across the surface of the water and grab the insect before it extracts itself from the water and flies to safety. Some fishing spiders use silk draglines to prevent themselves from speeding past the prey.
One researcher, Michelle Greenwood, fed a large moth to a small juvenile fishing spider and observed its behaviour: "On my first fieldtrip I discovered the fun of hand feeding them. I caught a large moth and offered it, struggling in my fingers, to a relatively small juvenile fishing spider. The spider daintily took it, moved itself to dry land and proceeded to eat. I watched this process for almost half an hour; fascinated by the way the spider stood on the tips of its articulated legs and deftly manoeuvred the moth with its mouthparts. She then delicately cleaned all her legs, passing each between her fangs; carefully scraping them clean before wiping each front leg over her eyes." The spider then returned to the riverside to await further victims.
Fishing spiders' main prey is aquatic insects, but they are opportunistic feeders and will eat anything suitable that happens within range. Dolomedes in North America have been observed catching and eating small goldfish.[4]
The main predators of fishing spiders are birds and snakes. Dragonflies have also been observed catching young spiders. Species parasitic on the spiders include a wasp of the Pompilidae family that stings the spider to paralyse it before carrying it off and laying an egg in its abdomen. The larvae of the wasp hatch and proceed to eat the spider from the inside out. One escape technique the spiders use is to disappear beneath the surface tension of the water. However some wasps counter the disappearing trick by going into the water to sting the spider and drag them out of the water.
The North American species D. triton has been observed jumping to get away from an attacking frog. The researchers[who?] concluded that the spider's vibration-detecting hairs felt the rush of air as the frog lunged to attack.
Female fishing spiders are larger than the males. If a female chooses to eat a male after mating, there is usually little he can do about it. This behaviour may help the female by providing the nutrition she needs to produce healthy young, while the male gets the benefit of passing his genes on to a well-fed next generation.[citation needed]
North America
Nine species of Dolomedes exist in North America. The six-spotted fishing spider (D. triton) lives primarily in small lakes and ponds. This spider consumes mostly water striders (pond skaters), but like all Dolomedes, it is an opportunistic ambush hunter that will eat anything that it can capture. Other species include the bog-dwelling D. striatus, and four species living by streams: D. scriptus, D. vittatus, D. gertschi and D. holti. Two North American species, D. tenebrosus and D. okefinokensis, exhibit female giganticism and/or male dwarfism, with their males being less than half the size of the females. The ninth species is the arboreal D. albineus.
Two Dolomedes species occur in Europe. The raft spider (D. fimbriatus) is widespread on the surface of bog pools and in boggy grassland. The great raft spider, (D. plantarius) lives in fens, and is listed as endangered in Great Britain and is globally vulnerable.
New ZealandSee also: Spiders of New Zealand
Four species occur in New Zealand. Two are widespread: the large Dolomedes aquaticus of open riverbanks, and another as yet undescribed species of similar size, specialising in forested riverbanks; this is known as Dolomedes III or the New Zealand forest fishing spider. The largest of the New Zealand species Dolomedes schauinslandi or Rangatira spider occurs in the Chatham Islands, where it occurs on rodent-free islands where running water is rare. The fourth species, D. minor, is also not restricted to rivers. Known as the Nursery Web Spider, it makes white nursery webs on shrubs, but is still capable of fishing behaviour.

Talk about saving the best for last. Spain's progress to the UEFA EURO 2012 final was at times functional rather than flashy; even "boring" to some commentators who, having grown fat on the prize cuts of the Roja's previous four years, refused to accept leaner pickings. In the final, though, Spain treated the watching world to a feast.
Vicente del Bosque's side never showed signs of buckling under the weight of expectation as they sought an unprecedented third successive major tournament win. However, robbed of the injured David Villa, the most prolific striker in Spain's history, and with opponents apparently wising up to their style, this was never going to be easy.
That was immediately apparent as they were held 1-1 by Italy in their opening game, and though they made light work of the Republic of Ireland, they endured a nerve-shredding meeting with Croatia in their final group outing. Defeat would have eliminated them, and how close they came to it before Jesús Navas's 88th-minute winner dragged them through.
A misfiring France side proved easier opposition in the quarter-finals but there was little time for well-bitten nails to grow back before their last-four tie with Portugal, their Iberian rivals. Paulo Bento's men, inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo, had come into their own – there was a sense that if they could finish moves as well as they started them they could triumph.
The semi-final was all about defence, though, and after 120 goalless minutes came a penalty shoot-out that flowed one way then the other before Cesc Fàbregas sealed it. Many felt Sergio Ramos' contribution was just as telling, however, his chip (audacious at the best of times) exuding confidence when doubts could have restrained them.
Three days earlier the application had been even better when Andrea Pirlo capped a superhuman performance with a Panenka-style penalty as Italy overcame England in their quarter-final shoot-out. Pirlo was outstanding all tournament, his wise head and sage feet hypnotising opponents into submission. For once, in the last four, he was edged out of the spotlight, Mario Balotelli striking twice to extinguish Germany's high hopes.
Italy's thrilling knockout campaign looked to have caught up with them, though, and in the final their tiredness coincided with Spain's new lease of life. The holders were in control from the moment David Silva opened the scoring with a rare header on 14 minutes. A barnstorming second with half-time approaching from the indefatigable Jordi Alba, his first international goal, left the Azzurri with a mountain to climb.
The sight of Thiago Motta, their third substitute, being carried off ended all ambitions, causing Italy to play out the last 28 minutes with ten men – Fernando Torres and Juan Mata capitalised, sealing a record 4-0 win. It was Spain's first competitive victory over 90 minutes against the Azzurri in 92 years and sealed an unprecedented hat-trick of major tournament wins. Yet this feast was as much about quality as quantity.

Series History Versus Holy Cross
Loyola and Holy Cross will meet for the second time as Patriot League foes and the sixth time overall when the teams take the floor on Wednesday night.
In this season's first meeting, the Crusaders led by 14 in the second half, but the Greyhounds cut their deficit twice to two points, but they could not garner the lead in a 60-51 loss.
A traditional 3-point play by Dylon Cormier, who was playing in what would be his final full game, capped a 23-11 Greyhounds run and drew them within 49-47 with 4:05 left in regulation.
Cormier finished with 15 points, but he was just 4-of-11 from the free-throw line, a problem that plagued Loyola in the game. It was 10-of-19 overall from the charity stripe. Tyler Hubbard added 13 points, and Nick Gorski scored nine.
Dave Dudzinski had 20 of his 24 points, and 10 of his 12 rebounds, in the second half for Holy Cross.
Prior to playing on January 29 in Worcester, Mass., the programs last met in the consolation game of the Otis Spunkmeyer Classic in Oakland, Calif. Loyola defeated the Crusaders, 73-55, in that contest.
Holy Cross has won all three games played on its home court. The only time the Crusaders have played in Reitz Arena the Greyhounds dealt them a 87-73 defeat on December 6, 1984. It was the first-ever men's basketball game played in the venue.
Senior Send-Off
Prior to the game against Holy Cross, Loyola will honor its three senior players and one manager. Here's a look at the careers of each:
A two-time All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference honoree, Dylon Cormier will go down as one of the top players in program history. Despite breaking his hand in a game three weeks ago, Cormier has scored 1,659 points (7th all-time at Loyola), grabbed 467 rebounds, made 459 free throws (2nd) and accumulated 185 steals (2nd). He was on pace to finish third all-time in points at Loyola.
Jordan Latham transferred to Loyola prior to the 2011-2012 season and made an immediate impact on the Greyhounds 2012 NCAA Tournament Team. His 91 career blocks are fifth all-time at Loyola, and he has averaged 13.0 points in the Greyhounds' last six games.
Chido Onyiuke was a walk-on to the program in 2010-2011 and was a member of the Greyhounds' first NCAA Tournament bid in 18 years during the 2011-2012 season. He has seen action in 34 games over the course of his career.
Zan Cheema joined the program as a manager before the 2012-2013 season.
Academic Honors For Rassman
Last week, sophomore forward Franz Rassman was named to the Capital One Academic All-America District II Team for his excellence in the classroom.
Rassman, who has started 26-of-27 games and is averaging 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, is now eligible for Academic All-America honors along with district honorees from around the nation.
Cormier Has Hand Surgery
Dylon Cormier, the leading scorer in the Patriot League (21.2 points per game) fractured his left hand in a loose-ball scramble on Saturday, February 1, against the U.S. Military Academy, and he had surgery on February 5 to stabilize the break, likely ending his season.
Cormier was also second in the Patriot League in steals (2.2) and fifth in rebounds (5.8) at the time of his injury.
R.J. Against The Raiders
In his two games against Colgate this season, Loyola point guard R.J. Williams has set his career-high in scoring twice. He finished with 15 on January 25 in the teams' first meeting, and he eclipsed that by one with a team-best 16 points on Saturday, February 22, in Hamilton, N.Y.
In the game at Colgate, Williams made 6-of-11 shots from the field, 4-of-7 in the second half.
The 16 points raised his season scoring average to 8.1 points, tied with Eric Laster for second-best on the team. It was also the second time this year, and in his career, that he has led Loyola in scoring.
Williams is seventh in the Patriot League in assists per game (4.9), and he leads the conference in steals per game (2.3).
Career Night For Latham
Jordan Latham recorded career-highs in several categories on February 15 against Boston University, logging his first collegiate double-double with bests of 25 points and 10 rebounds.
Latham made 10-of-16 field goals and 5-of-8 free throws (career-highs in both made and attempted for both) while also blocking three shots and tying his personal-best with two steals.
The senior forward from Baltimore scored 16 points in the first half, more than any other Loyola player has tallied in the opening 20 minutes this year. He played a career-high 33 minutes, as well in the game.
He followed that game by leading the team in scoring for the second game in a row, tying Jarred Jones with 13 points, on Wednesday night against Colgate. He had career-highs of seven free-throws made and 11 attempted in that contest. It was the first time in his career that he had led the team in scoring in back-to-back games.
His previous scoring high of 17 came in December 2012 at Florida Gulf Coast University, and he had a high of seven rebounds earlier this season at Cornell University.
Latham And The League
In Loyola's 16 Patriot League contests, Jordan Latham has significantly raised his scoring contributions. He finished Loyola's regular-season slate of 11 games with a 5.0 points per game, but he has bumped that up to 9.1 points in League contests.
In conference games, Latham is shooting 47.4 percent (33.8 non-conference), and he is also better at the free-throw line, making 66.7 percent as opposed to 47.4.
Latham has also rebounded better, 4.1 in the League, up from 3.4, and his blocked shots per game are 1.4, higher than his previous 1.1.
The improved play in the Patriot League has raised his cumulative totals to 7.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game.
In Patriot League play, his 1.5 blocked shots are fourth in the conference, and his 1.3 overall are 6th.
Shouldering More Scoring Load
Jordan Latham's scoring has also seen a rise since the injury to Loyola's leading point producer, Dylon Cormier. In the six games since Cormier's injury (in the second half of the February 1 game against Army), Latham is leading the team in scoring at 13.0 per game.
He also has done a much better job of getting to the free-throw line where he is 24-of-37 over that stretch. His 37 free throws in the six games are more than the 36 he attempted in Loyola's first 21 games of the season.
Laster Impression
Eric Laster has set career-highs in scoring in two of the Greyhounds' last five games. He recorded 18 points on February 15 against Boston University, clipping his previous best of 17 on February 8 at Lehigh.
Laster's 18 against the Terriers came in a much more efficient manner than the 17 against the Mountain Hawks. He made 6-of-7 from the field, including both of his 3-point attempts, against Boston University after hitting 6-of-15 at Lehigh.
Through 27 games, 24 starts, this year, Laster is tied for second on the team with an 8.1 points per game average. He is shooting 41.6 percent from the field and 40.7 percent form 3-point range. The sophomore also has averaged 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He played a career-high 37 minutes on February 19 against Bucknell to raise his minutes per game to 27.4.
In 27 games as a freshman in 2011-2012, Laster averaged 0.8 points and 0.4 rebounds in 5.3 minutes of action per game.
Turnover Back In Line
After two games in which the Greyhounds had two of their top three turnover totals of the season – 17 at Lafayette and 22 versus Boston University – they had their lowest mark of the year with just five against Bucknell.
It was the sixth time this season Loyola finished a game with nine or fewer miscues. It is 4-2 in those games with both losses coming at the hands of the Bison.
Thirteen of the turnovers against Boston University came via Terriers' steals in a game Loyola was playing without starting point guard R.J. Williams due to an injury.
The game against Boston University was just the sixth time this season that the Greyhounds have committed more turnovers than their opponents. They are 2-4 in those games.
Overall, turnovers have not been a major issue for the Greyhounds this season. They are averaging 12.1 giveaways per game this year, fourth fewest in the Patriot League. Additionally, Loyola is tops in the conference in turnover margin, averaging 2.07 fewer per game than its opponents.
Block Party
Jordan Latham and Jarred Jones have combined for 23 blocked shots in the last five games for the Greyhounds (Latham 12, Jones 11), helping Loyola take over the Patriot League lead in blocked shots per game (4.3).
Latham had three against both Boston University and Bucknell to retake the seasonal team lead from Jones. The duo is sixth and seventh, respectively, in blocked shots per game in the Patriot League, averaging 1.3 and 1.2 a contest.
Jones-ing For Points
Jarred Jones has scored in double figures each of the last three games – 10 each against Boston University and at Colgate and 13 versus Bucknell – after recording just seven points in a three-game stretch from February 5-12. Prior to that skid, he scored 17, his second highest total of the year, on February 1 versus Army.
He also has six rebounds in three of the last four games.
Jones On The Defensive End
Although he struggled offensively during a stretch, Jarred Jones has continued to be a solid defensive player for the Greyhounds. In those games, he has blocked seven shots and come up with 10 steals.
Prior to Saturday's game at Cornell, Jones had at least two steals in each of Loyola's last seven games, dating back to January 29 against Holy Cross. He also has blocked two or more shots in six of the last eight games with a career-high tying four on February 8 at Lehigh. He is second on the team with 34 blocks and seventh in the League with 1.3 per game.
Jones is also seventh in the Patriot League in steals per game. He averages 1.5 per game with a total of 40.
Setting Up The Shots
R.J. Williams finished the February 1 game against Army with nine assists, one off his career-high of 10 set on January 13 against Lafayette.
Williams is seventh in the Patriot League in assists per game (3.9). He had 34 assists in eight non-conference games, and he entered January and Patriot League action averaging 3.8 per game. Since then, Williams has 60 assists in 15 games for an average of 4.0.
The junior from Baltimore has also increased his scoring average during Patriot League play. Overall he is averaging 8.1 points per game, 8.6 against conference opponents.
Gotta Get To The Line
The Greyhounds have seen their most success this season when getting to the free-throw line consistently. They are 6-3 when attempting 25 or more free throws (wins over Binghamton, Cornell, Fairfield, UMBC, Navy and Lafayette; losses to Stony Brook, Saint Joseph's and at Colgate). In the Loyola's three other wins, Catholic, Lehigh and Colgate, it took 19, 24 and 18 free throws, respectively.
Overall, Loyola is getting to the free-throw line more than seven fewer times in losses than wins (27.7-20.4).
Away From The Friendly Confines
Loyola lost its 12th straight road game on February 22 at Colgate after winning its first three this season away from Reitz Arena. At 3-12 on the road, the Greyhounds are shooting 38.4 percent as opposed to 44.9 percent while going 7-5 at home. Opponents are shooting 47.3 percent in their own facilities, 43.7 percent in Reitz Arena.
The Greyhounds turn the ball over at a rate of almost one per game more on the road (12.5-11.6), and they also force nearly two more turnovers at home (15.1-13.4).
With these factors, the Greyhounds are averaging nearly seven points less per game on the road, 62.5, to their 69.1 points per game at home.
Sticky Fingers
The Greyhounds posted 10 steals against Bucknell on February 19, marking the sixth time in 16 Patriot League games that they have grabbed 10 or more. Through February 25, Loyola leads the League with 8.3 steals overall.
Through games of February 24, the Greyhounds are 18th nationally at 8.26 steals per game. Loyola has had 11 or more steals in eight games through 27 contests.
R.J. Williams leads the Patriot League,and is 16th nationally in steals per game (2.3), while Dylon Cormier is second (2.19) and 26th.
In the January 25 game against Colgate, Cormier had two steals, moving him past Tracy Bergan and into second on the all-time steals list at Loyola. Bergan was in attendance at the game as part of the Greyhounds' 1994 NCAA Tournament team that was honored that night. He now has 185 in his career.
With 121 in his career, Williams is tied for ninth on the career chart. His 56 this season are tied for eighth on the school single-season chart.
Cormier's Scoring
Dylon Cormier had been one of the top scorers in the nation this season, averaging 21.2 points per game through 21 and the time of his injury. Through games of Thursday, February 21, Cormier was 14th in the nation in points per game.
Cormier scored 20 or more points in the Greyhounds' first five games, and he had three 30-plus point efforts during that stretch, as well.
Overall, he has 14 20-plus point games in 21 contests, and he has recorded 25 or more eight times.
On November 20 at UMBC, Cormier had a career-high 12 field goals and went 9-of-13 from the line to match his career-best with 34 points (also set on November 10 at Cornell).
No Loyola player in the school's Division I era (since 1981-1982) had started the season with five-straight 20-point games. Andre Collins, who set the school single-season scoring record at 26.1, started the 2005-2006 season with 20 or more points in five of six games, but he scored just 16 in the Greyhounds' third game of the season.
Cormier was the first player in Loyola men's basketball history to post two 30+ point games to start the season.
He was also the first Loyola player to score 30 or more in back-to-back outings since Collins went for 34, 36 and 39 in three-straight games (all on the road at VMI, Delaware and Providence) from December 29, 2005-January 3, 2006.
Over 1,600
In the first half of the game at Bucknell, Dylon Cormier hit the 1,600 career points mark, becoming the seventh player in school history to do so, the fifth in the program's tenure at Division I.
At Boston University, Cormier moved into seventh-place all-time at Loyola in scoring, passing Mike Powell and his 1,580 points. At the time of his injury, Cormier had 1,659 career points through 115 career games.
Telling Stats
In Loyola's 17 losses this season, the Greyhounds are shooting nine percent worse from the floor than they are in their eight victories.
Loyola has made 47.0 percent (249-of-530) shots in 10 wins versus 38.0 percent (363-of-956) in 17 losses. As a consequence, Loyola is averaging 14.9 less (74.8 versus 59.9) points per game.
As one would expect, opponents are shooting better (47.8-42.5) in the games they've won.
Start Of The Smith Era
G.G. Smith was named the 20th head coach in Loyola University Maryland men's basketball history on April 12, 2013. Her garnered his first head coaching win on November 8, 2013, in the season-opener against Binghamton.
The 1999 graduate of the University of Georgia spent the last six seasons as an assistant coach at Loyola for Jimmy Patsos who took the head coaching position at Siena College in March.
Loyola amassed a 106-87 record (.549) during Smith's six years as an assistant. The 106 wins and the .549 winning percentage are the best of any six-year stretch during Loyola's Division I history (since 1982-1983).
As a player, Smith was a three-year starter and four-year letterwinner for the Bulldogs from 1995-1999. Smith helped the Bulldogs advance to the 1996 NCAA Sweet 16 and another tournament appearance in 1997. He left Georgia as the school's career leader in games played (129), wins in a season (24) and 3-pointers in a game (nine).
Smith is the son of current Texas Tech University Head Coach Tubby Smith. The elder Smith led the University of Kentucky to the 1998 NCAA Championship and is in his 23rd season as a head coach. G.G. Smith played for his father from 1995-1997 at Georgia.
Look Back At 2012-2013
Loyola finished the 2012-2013 season with a 23-12 record, marking the first time in the school's Division I history (since 1982-1983) that the Greyhounds have posted back-to-back 20-win seasons.
The Greyhounds finished their final season in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with a 12-6 mark, tying for second place.
After falling in the first round of the MAAC Championships, Loyola its first-ever bid tot he CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Following the Greyhounds' 2012 appearance in the NCAA Tournament, it was the first consecutive postseason bids in school Division I history and the first since 1953 in any division of competition.
Erik Etherly and Dylon Cormier became the first set of Loyola teammates to be named to the All-MAAC First Team in the same year.
Five players – Julius Brooks, Etherly, Robert Olson, Luke Wandrusch and Anthony Winbush – graduated after the season, leaving behind combined career totals of 3,413 points, 1,930 rebounds, 575 assists and 395 steals.

Original articles - A mechanistic model of high dose irradiation damage
F.M. Siam, M. Grinfeld, A. Bahar, H.A. Rahman, H. Ahmad, F. Johar
The main goal of our study is to develop a realistic mechanistic model of the effect of ionizing radiation on DNA in mammalian cells. We consider a population of cells structured by the number of DNA double strand breaks due to radiation. Using the system of linear differential equation, the model describes the evolution of the irradiated population of cells in time. The work is in three parts. First, we consider the effect of a single dose of radiation, while in the second part we work on the model parameter estimation using Nelder–Mead simplex algorithm which allows us to relate the clinically useful parameters of the LQ relation to aspects of cellular activity that can be manipulated experimentally. In the third part, we deal with cell killing effects of fractioned doses of radiation. Using MATLAB, we observed the cell survival fractions can be well approximated by the Linear–Quadratic relation and also show fewer cell will die if the dose is fractionated in two or more fractions.

Preparation of mesoporous Al-MCM-41 from natural palygorskite and its adsorption performance for hazardous aniline dye-basic fuchsin
Yuan Guan, Shaomang Wang, Xin Wang, Cheng Sun, Yongbo Wang, Lingjie Hu
A promising mesoporous SiAl material, Al-MCM-41 was successfully prepared by alkali calcination leaching of natural palygorskite, and sequent hydrothermal synthesis coupled with calcination. The morphology, structure, surface area and pore-size distribution of the material were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray diffraction and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms. The Al-MCM-41 possessed better crystallinity and larger specific surface area with CTAB/SiO2 mass ratio of 0.1:1, pH of 5, crystallization temperature of 110 °C, crystallization time of 12 h and calcination of 550 °C for 5 h. The Al-MCM-41 was used as an adsorbent for the removal of hazardous aniline dye-basic fuchsin from water. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms analysis indicated that adsorption of basic fuchsin onto Al-MCM-41 followed pseudo-first-order model and Langmuir adsorption isotherm. In addition, intra-particle diffusion was rate determining step of the adsorption process. The results demonstrated that the as-synthesized Al-MCM-41 had potential applications in the treatment of waste water.

Hospital referral of detainees during police custody in Amsterdam, The Netherlands
T. Dorn, A. Janssen, J.C. de Keijzer, G.L. van Rijk-Zwikker, U.J.L. Reijnders, J.S.K. Luitse, E. Vandewalle, M.P. Gorzeman, R.C. van Nieuwenhuizen, M. Ceelen, C. Das
This study describes how many detainees have been referred to emergency departments for further evaluation or emergency care while in police custody in Amsterdam (years 2012/2013). It provides insights into the diagnoses assigned by forensic doctors and hospital specialists and the appropriateness of the referrals. We made use of the electronic registration system of the Forensic Medicine Department of the Public Health Service Amsterdam. This department is in charge of the medical care for detainees in the Amsterdam region. Hospital diagnoses were obtained through collaboration with several Amsterdam-based hospitals. According to our results, in 1.5% of all consultations performed, the detainee was referred to hospital. The most frequent reasons for referral were injuries (66%), intoxication/withdrawal (11%) and cardiac problems (7%). In 18% of all referrals, hospital admission (defined as at least one night in the hospital) was the consequence. After review of hospital files, the indication for referral as stated by the forensic physician was confirmed in 77% of all cases. A minority of referrals was considered unnecessary (7%). The identified cases allow for a discussion of cases of over-referral. Future research should focus on the problem of under-referral and associated health risks.

Occupational accidents and the economic cycle in Spain 1994–2014
Beatriz Fernández-Muñiz, José Manuel Montes-Peón, Camilo José Vázquez-Ordás
The sensitivity of occupational accidents to the economic cycle can shed light on the effectiveness of occupational health and safety policies. This work analyses the effect of the economic cycle on occupational accidents in Spain in the period 1994–2014. We first perform a regression analysis to evaluate the relation between GDP growth and incidence rate, comparing Spain and Germany. Statistics on GDP growth (OECD) and standardised incidence rates (from Eurostat) are used. Then, from a sectorial perspective, we perform a variance decomposition analysis to measure the effect of the increase in the incidence rates on the growth in the number of accidents in Spain between 2013 and 2014. We use data disaggregated by sector from national databases on occupational accidents to this end.

EnergyPlus models for the benchmarking of residential buildings in Brunei Darussalam
V. Shabunko, C.M. Lim, S. Mathew
Energy performance of buildings is a highly important measure for Energy Efficiency and Conservation initiatives. The fundamental step toward the understanding of energy use is benchmarking. In this study, the EnergyPlus simulation tool is used to benchmark the energy performance of 400 residential buildings from which three types of buildings were classified. EnergyPlus models were developed for the three types of building designs typically found in the national housing scheme in Brunei Darussalam. The EnergyPlus models produced the energy use intensity (EUI) per year for these buildings, with values ranging from approximately 64.2 to 47.8kWh/m2. The EnergyPlus outputs were verified against the power consumption data, and data from selected door-to-door survey. This study demonstrates the capability of engineering models in producing benchmarking, and simulating conditions for the improvements of energy performance in buildings.

Electrical Engineering - Universal shift register implementation using quantum dot cellular automata
Tamoghna Purkayastha, Debashis De, Tanay Chattopadhyay
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) demands to be a promising alternative of CMOS in ultra large scale circuit integration. Arithmetic and logic unit designs using QCA are of high research interest. A layout of four and eight bit universal shift register (USR) has been proposed. Initially QCA layouts of D flip-flop with clear and 4 to 1 multiplexer are designed, which are extended to design 4 and 8-bit parallel in parallel out (PIPO) shift register. Finally the PIPO is utilized to design 4-bit and 8-bit USR. By the comparative analysis it is observed that the proposed D Flip-flop achieved 40% clock delay improvement, whereas the modified layout of 4 to 1 multiplexer achieved 30% cell count reduction and 17% clock delay reduction from the previous works. This results in 31% reduction in cell count, 45% reduction in area and 55% reduction in clock cycle delay in 8 bit USR layout.

Electrical Engineering - Design of optimal band-stop FIR filter using L1-norm based RCGA
Apoorva Aggarwal, T.K. Rawat, Manjeet Kumar, D.K. Upadhyay
In this paper, an optimal design of linear phase digital finite impulse response (FIR) band stop (BS) filter using the L1-norm based real-coded genetic algorithm (L1-RCGA) is presented. Although RCGA has proved its ability to overcome the drawbacks associated with conventional gradient-based optimization methods of filter design, it is applied here with a novel fitness function based on the L1-norm. This leads to a global optimal solution along with the improvement in filter design with same specifications. The designed filter pursues a better response in terms of flat passband, high stopband attenuation and fast convergence. The simulation results justify that the proposed FIR BS filter using L1-RCGA outperforms the existing optimization techniques, the L1-method and particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the conventional methods such as least-squares (LS) approach, Kaiser window method and the Parks McClellan (PM) algorithm. A detailed analysis is performed to evaluate the performance of the designed filters.

I've recieved an "over the holidays" task to preform, that task is to create a "warehouse application" in Java but my instructions are, in all fairness, too lousy to get me started on it. So, I was wondering (and hoping) that maybe someone here could help me understand how i need to get started
My instructions:
"Create a warehouse application into which the user can, with the help of GUI, add items with Name, Quantity and Price in an array. One should be able to see these items as well as the total value of each item. Value = quantity*price.
Furthermore a value for the warehouse total should be seen"
Now i understand what the end result is supposed to be, a simple GUI with input boxes and either a TextArea or Panel for output. But I have, as mentioned, no idea how to get started with the actual functions.
I've gotten as far as that i'll need to create a Class for it but that's about it...
Would be very grateful if someone could try and explain to me what needs to be done.
Thank you kindly

AOL today announced an upgrade to its popular AIM instant messaging service, with new features such as the ability to send messages to offline users and to store IM sessions in a PC.
In AIM 6.0, AOL also has doubled the number of contacts a user can have in his "buddy" list to 1,000 people.
AOL is involved in a red hot competition in the consumer IM market with rivals Microsoft and Yahoo, which recently established a basic level of interoperability between their IM networks.
AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo operate the three most popular consumer IM networks, but AIM users can't communicate with Microsoft and Yahoo users because each network operates with proprietary communication protocols. Microsoft's Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger) leads with 29 percent of users worldwide, followed by AIM with 27 percent, and Yahoo Messenger with 21 percent, according to The Radicati Group.
AIM 6.0, which requires either the Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating systems, can be downloaded for free.
Working with Google
AOL is working with Google to link AIM with the Google Talk IM service. AIM already has interoperability with other IM platforms, such as Apple Computer's iChat, Reuters Group's system, and AOL's own ICQ, a sister IM network to AIM.
As one of the most popular online communication tools, instant messaging has evolved from offering users only the ability to exchange text messages in real time to providing an ever-expanding suite of services, like Internet telephony, video chats, games, and integration with e-mail systems and other online services. Because IM services are so popular, they are also attractive vehicles for delivering online advertising.
AOL will actively encourage all of its AIM users to upgrade to 6.0, since two-thirds of them are on AIM 5.9 and the rest on a more advanced version called Triton, launched last year, said Ann Santorios, AIM's director of product management. AIM has about 70 million active users worldwide, 42 million of them in the U.S., she said.
AIM 6.0 has been built using Triton's code base and software architecture, and will thus retain Triton's communication features, but with a redesigned user interface, she said. "This is Triton with a facelift," she said.
New Features in AIM 6.0
The new offline messaging feature lets users send messages to people on their "buddy" list who aren't logged on at the time. They will receive the messages as soon as they sign on to AIM. Meanwhile, with the conversation logging option, users will be able to save text chats as HTML files on their computers.
Other enhancements in 6.0 include:
-- A new "dashboard" intended to make it easier for users to access existing mobile features, like setting up mobile alerts and IM forwarding;
-- Deeper integration with the new AIM Pages blogging and social networking service, including one-click access from the AIM interface;
-- A redesigned AIM Today welcome Web page, expected to launch next week, with access to users' Web mail accounts from AOL, Google's Gmail and Yahoo's Mail Plus;
-- Single sign-on to a variety of AIM-related services, like the AIM Mail Web mail service.
While not revolutionary, AIM 6.0 is a strong update, with enhancements that might be compelling enough to motivate users to upgrade, said analyst Michael Osterman of Osterman Research. Sending offline messages and storing IM sessions seem like useful features, he said.
The upgrade may be particularly interesting for AIM 5.9 users, who can get the best Triton features and a new set of enhancements, Osterman said. Triton's relatively low adoption is due to several reasons, including misgivings about its user interface and users' perception that Triton lacks "must-have" new features, Osterman said.

Tampons are an initiation to femininity which feel I've missed.
It made me realise that, apart from the whole aversion to fingering thing, I'm basically a fifteen year old girl. Period wise, I have not progressed. I am a period failure.
I just know that one of you is going to sidle up to me in the comments and be all 'mooncup – just sayin", so let me nip that shit in the bud right now. It might work for you, oh imaginary laid-back internet girl. You have flowers in your hair and toe-rings on your toes. All your fashion is ethical and the quality of your weed is second to none, and of course it works for you. But, although I have wanted to be you for a very long time, it just isn't meant to be. I'm too uptight, too mainstream, too belt-through-the-loops. Plus, I've realised that I feel about mooncups the same way I do about tampons and that time I found my mum's diaphragm, namely, ew, get that away from my area.
In fact, writing this has made me realise exactly what the nature of the problem is. Basically, I'm fine with stuff going up there as long as the stay isn't semi permanent. That rules out tampons, diaphragms, coils (I have always imagined these as gigantic, slinky-like springs), etc. However, anything that fancies a quick in-out is pretty much cool by me (I know how this sounds, so I will use this parenthesis to reiterate that yes, consent means asking every time).
Not that being able to go for a swim when I'm on wouldn't be amazing, but it looks like now would be a good time to accept that my disdain for tampons is probably here to stay.
Thanks, magazines. This is another thing that you have done to mess me up.
And thanks internet, for the free therapy.

An estimated 85 percent of all tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean. Japan is particularly vulnerable as it sits on the border of an area of mountain chains, deep-ocean trenches known as the "Ring of Fire", a region of the Pacific Ocean that's prone to sharp movement of tectonic plates on the ocean floor.
Although early warning system now exist, the unfortunate truth is that scientists still remain unable to predict the timing, size or location of future large earthquakes.

The chronology of events that day took a particularly tragic turn in Chile, when inhabitants who took out small boats to escape the shaking returned soon afterward - just in time to die when a massive breaker swamped all of their vessels.After the tsunami had passed the Hawaiian Islands damage costs were estimated at $24 million and 61 people had died. Hilo once again turned into a punching for the tsunami. Some reports at the time said that residents ignored the warning sirens. Whatever the truth, 61 people died. In Japan, where the tsunami arrived nearly a day after the earthquake, 142 people lost their lives. In this photo, a view of the debris and bent parking meters left by the waves which inundated Hilo.

The 2004 tsunami wasn't the first to devastate the region. In 1883, the 1883 Krakatau volcanic eruption triggered a tsunami in which more than 36,000 people died.

The Multiracial DebateSunday, March 14th, 2010
H/t to the Chicago Tribune for producing a lengthy piece of journalism:
By Oscar Avila, Dahleen Glanton,
Look in the mirror and what do you see?
When the census form arrives in mailboxes this week, the complex answers to that question will help paint America's evolving portrait, with repercussions for a decade and beyond.
For most people, the census will be a simple 10-minute process. For others in this nation of Barack Obama, Jessica Alba, Tiger Woods, Halle Berry, Apolo Ohno and Joakim Noah , questions of mixed race and ethnicity will prompt soul-searching over how to categorize themselves among a small but growing minority in the national fabric.
The census is a montage of self-portraits that will detail the ways a nation of nearly 309 million has changed since 2000, including migration, family size and housing patterns. While that data is easier to quantify, critics say a rote list of boxes and checkmarks can't adequately reflect all the racial and ethnic transformations.
On Chicago's South Side, the daughter of a black father and white mother will check both. Her brother will check black. Their children will write in "mixed" or "biracial."
A Brazilian immigrant will mark a box that says Hispanic, though she doesn't accept the label. A woman from Jordan won't check Asian, though she is. A man born to a Japanese mother and white father considers himself white only at census time.
Another respondent may check four racial boxes like the multi-ethnic Woods, who invented his own identifier: "cablinasian," a mix of Caucasian, black, Indian and Asian. Obama jokingly labeled himself a "mutt," but he won't find that box on the form.
Some bemoan the absence of a separate "multiracial" box to check. And beyond race and ethnicity, the form won't account for the principal factor by which many Americans identify themselves: There is no category for sexual orientation, so some gay activists plan to protest by affixing pink stickers on the envelope.
"The lesson is that, like reality, like our lives, census data are messy," said Jorge Chapa, a University of Illinois professor who has consulted for the Census Bureau. "But the messiness does reflect the growing diversity and our complexity as a people. It's closer to the truth."
Over the years, the census form has changed to reflect racial realities. A historic switch for the 2000 census allowed Americans to click more than one category, meaning that the son of a Kenyan father and a white woman from Kansas can now officially be both races. About 6.8 million Americans, 2.4 percent of the population, checked more than one racial box.
A Brookings Institution survey has shown a doubling of mixed-race marriages over the last two decades. A Pew Research Center report last month documented that younger generations were far more tolerant of racial mixing than their elders.
People who mark more than one race box are not counted more than once in the overall population tally. But they would add one additional person to each racial category they choose.
Susan Graham, executive director of California-based Project RACE, which advocates for multiracial families, said a hodgepodge of individual boxes is not sufficient to describe her children. She is white and was married to an African-American, and their children have a singular identity as multiracial American.
"The term 'multiracial,' we believe, is important and should be on the form. Words are important," Graham said.
Researchers have found that people's self-identities can be fluid: Over the course of their lives, they can more strongly identify with various parts of their ancestry at different times.
Kenneth Prewitt, who directed the 2000 census, said some civil-rights groups have resisted the concept of checking more than one race out of fear that it will dilute their influence.
Prewitt said the "Hispanic" term, one used mainly in the U.S., is especially confusing. The term, which the Census Bureau first used in 1980, describes an ethnicity pertaining to Spain but can include white, black and other races. He would include one catch-all category merging Hispanics with other race identifiers, or eliminate all boxes and have everyone write in their preferred identities.

|Five Dead as South Sudan Army, Rebels Clash
|[An Nahar] At least five people were killed in South Sudan's troubled Jonglei state in clashes between government troops and rebel soldiers who had come for peace talks, officials said Monday.
Hundreds of civilians fled the clashes which broke out Sunday -- during which the market in the remote town of Pibor was set on fire -- as a government delegation arrived to negotiate with the breakaway commander of a local rebel movement.
"The soldiers went around and burnt all the houses, the shooting erupted everywhere," said John Tubuwa, a priest who was part of the delegation.
South Sudan army spokesman Philip Aguer said that one soldier and one rebel coming for the talks had been killed, while residents said that at least three civilians had died.
"The numbers could still go up... we are now searching for the dead and wounded," Pibor County's former human rights commissioner Peter Gazulu told AFP on Monday, adding that the town was now calm.
One elderly man was burnt alive inside his home, as soldiers and rebels formerly loyal to local insurgent David Yauyau clashed, said Gazulu.
United Nations peacekeepers, who have a base in Pibor, said that "large numbers, possibly thousands, of civilians" had sought refuge in their camp.
