Very satisfied. Only real issue was the crowd in the breakfast room and resulting brief shortage of certain meal selections. Quickly remedied, however, by a busy but helpful employee.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

Need more comfortable bed, ours was too uncomfortable. Need the bathroom wallpaper and tub edging issues addressed. Otherwise all was good. Great Breakfast and staff from breakfast to front desk persons!Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
Very clean place!!Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Room needs a little remodeling"
The room was ok but the bathroom needs remodeling, the walls had green spots probably made by the humidity and also the frame around the door was rusted on some place. Other than that the staff was really trying to do their best to make us comfortable. And the bottom floor is in remodeling stage.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

I didn't like this hotel everything is old, the sheets, the towels, the tub, the carpet, everything look dirty, is close to the shopping mall and storesAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia
"Below average"
The hotel is under renovation and had a strange smell. On top of this while checking in the hotel girl who works the front desk was outside smoking. Upon registering, all I could smell was smoke which was rather gross. She was friendly but as being a non smoker I could have done without.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

"Three night stay at Comfort Suites at Tucson Mall"
We had a pleasant stay at this hotel about a year ago and decided to stay here again. Our child is a student at U of A and this hotel is not too far from the University. The hotel staff is always professional and courteous. The room was clean and comfortable, with the exception of the guests above us stomping around the second and third nights the hotel […] is quiet. The hot breakfast is a plus, as is the free wi-fi. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and of course the Tucson Mall is just up the street. There are also many other stores in the immediate area which is really convenient. We look forward to staying here again. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
"Where have all the Big Pillows Gone?"
Check in was fine, the room is dated, but the location worked out great for our conference. Was very disappointed with the front desk person, asked for a wake up call and never received it.

"West side place"
Check in was simple and easy. Desk staff was very friendly. This is not a high end hotel, but was clean and well maintained. The location is great! Near good shopping and in a well lit neighborhood. Not next to the freeway or highway and all that that can bring with it. Price seemed a little high, but I did not realize that it was during the Gem Show.

"Average At Best"
Smallest Pillows that I have ever seen in a hotel! Shower dribbled water out, similar to can with a hole in the bottom hung in a tree! Unable to control room temp. Stuffy It was conveniently located. Overall we were disappointed for the price.Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com
The service at this hotel was excellent, and better then some of the top resorts in Tucson. Shortly after we checked into the room we received a call from the front desk asking if everything was ok. That was a nice surprise. The most outstanding service was after our stay. Mt daughter left a pillow pet in the room after we checked out. I called back […] a few hours later to see if they had found it. Not only did they have it, but they had washed it for us! I was so impressed by their thoughtfulness. The hotel is currently under renovations, so I think that when they get done it will look nicer. The room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. Overall, this is a simple and clean hotel which works for an overnight shopping trip. I love that it is right across from Tucson Mall, and there is plenty of dining around the area.

"Comfortable, clean room"
Comfortable bed and a clean room were the highlights of my stay. The front desk service was good. The hotel is currently under construction, which I was unaware of at the time of booking.

""Comfort' Suites?"
The mattress on the bed was one of the worst I have ever tried to sleep on, at times I was trying to sleep on the settee even because of it! Where did they get those undersized, lumpy pillows? It was non-smoking but there was a stale tobacco smell in the room - the staff seemed to be taking regular smoking breaks outside. The content of the breakfast […] was above average, but I could not get anything toasted because the toaster kept tripping a breaker - maintenance seemed incapable of being able to fix it. The hallway carpet was filthy. The TV channel guide was irrelevant. The luggage carts were falling apart - when you could find one. Light bulbls were missing or burnt out in the room. The location was great, near the Tucson Mall shops and lots of restaurants. BONUS - NEXT TO WATSON CHEVROLET WHERE I WAS ABLE TO CHARGE UP MY CHEVY VOLT HYBRID E.V. Unfortunately that won't be enough reason for me to make a return visit to 'Comfort' Suites. Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

"Pleasantly surprised"
From the exterior I was at first not very happy. It was clean but just not impressive. But upon entering everything was clean and updated. The room was good size and very clean and renovated with a microwave, refrigerator and flat panel TV. Very quiet and comfortable beds. So it was not a five star hotel but it is not meant to be one. But I have spent […] much more for rooms elsewhere and gotten a lot less. Everyone was very nice and friendly. This is now my motel of choice for Tucson.

"Smokey & dirty carpets, but good service"
When we walked in to the lobby, the first thing we noticed was a smell of smoke and stained carpets. When we got to our non-smoking room, there was also a strong smoke smell and it was a bit dingy (brown walls and decorations may have played a factor in the dingy look). When I went back downstairs to ask for a new room, the manager and staff were apologetic […] and found a new room quickly, but were also quick to blame the housekeeping staff, saying that one of them had probably just had a smoke outside and brought the smell back in with them both in the lobby and the room itself. I didn't buy that and told them it seemed more that the carpets, upholstery, and perhaps bedspread needed to get a deeper cleaning. The next room they gave us was better. I've had much better experiences with Comfort Suites, so this is disappointing. I would recommended that you try other hotels in the area before this one.

We were the last occupants to check in the evening we stayed on this property. The minute I opened the door a stale smoky smell overwhelmed both of us, we didn't even walk into the room. When we went downstairs there were no other rooms available. That room STUNK! My understanding is that was formerly a smoking room. I don't think any effort had ever […] been made to remove the odor when it was switched to non-smoking room. It was a hot night and when we turned on the air, it just made the stench even worse. We were asked to sign a doc at check-in stating we would pay a $150 cleaning fee if we smoked in the room...what?!?!?!?!? Další informaceAutentické hodnocení od zákazníka Hotels.com

Nice hotel in a great area. Tons of shopping and restaurants around. Hotel was clean and comfortable. My suite was a large room with a sofa, not two separate rooms. Simple breakfast was convenient.

While the hotel could certainly use some updating, for a 2-star accommodation, we were more than satisfied with our stay.

"Don't expect much congierge type help."
We were in Tuscon for the NCAA basketball tourney. The front desk clerk was no help at all regarding how to get to the campus, places to eat or even any available public transportation. Maybe they don't think it is necessary in the day and age when everyone can use aps on their phones, but some of us like the personal touch. We ended up eating at chain […] restaurants in the area, but would have gone to a locally owned place if it had been recommended.

Wednesday, 26 November 2008
The number of people infected with HIV acquired through heterosexual contact in the UK has almost doubled in four years, figures issued yesterday show. There were 960 new diagnoses in 2007 compared with 540 in 2003, the Health Protection Agency said.
Although the bulk of the 4,260 new infections diagnosed in this country last year were acquired abroad, the sharp increase contracted in the UK has taken them from one in 10 to almost one in four of all heterosexual cases.
A spokesman for the HPA said the UK heterosexual cases were concentrated in the African community, and most were infected by partners infected abroad. "They are quite small numbers and although they were acquired in the UK they are linked with people who have travelled," he said.

This Courtroom Sketch Of Guy Fieri Is Just Delightful
Somebody stole Guy Fieri's car and then (allegedly) attempted to murder someone. Guy had to testify in court. Someone else had to draw a picture of it. And now the horror of murder (and the lesser horror of auto theft) has been mitigated ever so slightly, by the most wonderful illustration of all time.

liveforphysics wrote:I think a stack up of cells with some thick aluminum end plates (over sized a bit so the bands dont touch the pouch stacks) tightly snugged band clamps strapping the assembly together would give you a good mechanical retention system that provides good pressure and is low weight. You could slide in 1/16" lexan sheets on the edges of the cells before strapping the steel bands down. Any place that ships equipment on pallets would be able to put some steel band clamps on for you.
This seems like a much better solution than using foam pushing against the polycarb & cell "end caps" surface area. 4 threaded rods one for each corner of the end plates might work well too, *but* a picture of an A123 module shows 2 strap bands being used to hold the cells in compression attached to an end cap/plate at each end.
Luke, do you have any idea about what the surface pressure/compression should be on these cells when creating a stack of these aligned together? A123 states their modules meet some compliance spec for uniform compression of these cells in their module. Quoting from one of these A123 modules, perhaps used for the Chevy Volt (according to Doctorbass), it states the module has: "• Uniform compliant compression system"

Very cold air and some light freezing drizzle was noted in some locations of the High Plains. For the most part, only parking lots and bridges proved to be icy. Overnight lows ranged from the teens in eastern Colorado to the upper 30s in southeastern Kansas. An upper level disturbance moving across the Central Plains today will race towards the Northern Plains tonight. Meanwhile, a more pronounced large scale trough will remain evident across the western United States. As the aforementioned arctic front continues to slip southward, very cold air will continue to funnel out of the Northern Plains. This arctic airmass is expected to remain over Kansas through the weekend without a warm trend forecast into the foreseeable future. Cloudy skies and very cold temperatures are expected today and tonight with light snow possible tonight and Thursday. Highs today will climb into the mid 30s along the Oklahoma border today while northeastern Colorado barely hits 12 degrees. Lows tonight will plunge into the sub zero category in northeastern Colorado with 5 below zero possible in some locations. Temperatures in the teens forecast along the Oklahoma border. $$ 31

Tetrachoric correlation is a special case of analysis of the statistical covariation between two variables measured on a dichotomous scale, but assuming an underlying bivariate normal distribution. Computation of tetrachoric correlation is not straightforward and is usually not available in standard statistical packages. This paper introduces ViSta-Tetrachor, a plug-in for the statistical package ViSta that computes the tetrachoric correlation using an approximation that has shown to be both accurate and simpler to compute than the original algorithm. Additionally, ViSta-Tetrachor provides point and interval estimates for this statistic. Such feature is very uncommonly found in standard statistical packages. ViSta-Tetrachor also allows for computing tetrachoric correlation matrices that can subsequently be analyzed with the ViSta's Factor Analysis module. A brief description of the software is presented with several worked examples.

Despite the growing number of people in Spain who organize their lives to prepare and participate in marathons, being compelled to make many sacrifices, there are no specific studies in Spanish on the reasons that lead them to do so. The purpose of this instrumental paper was to validate in Spanish language and with a Spanish population the Motivations of Marathoners Scales (MOMS). To this end, we conducted two independent studies. The aim of the first was to present the first preliminary psychometric data (pilot sample of 174 marathon runners). Once completed the process of translation, adaptation and content validity of items, we conducted statistical analyses to explore the dimensional structure and determine the reliability of the instrument. The aim of the second study (sample of 975 marathon runners), was to analyze the internal structure of the instrument with confirmatory procedures. The Spanish version of the MOMS showed acceptable levels of internal consistency, temporal stability, and correlations between the subscales, confirming the construct validity. We observed differences based on gender and age. These findings support the use of the Spanish version of the MOMS to assess individual differences in motivation to run.

The tetrachoric correlation coefficient (Pearson, 1900) estimates the relationship between two dichotomous variables assuming an underlying bivariate normal distribution. An example of such variables is a pair of True/False test items in an achievement test. The tetrachoric coefficient is potentially applicable to many situations and plays a key role in some important analysis, such as the Factor Analysis of binary items or the inter-rater agreement measurement.
Because of its usefulness, tetrachoric correlation is often discussed in introductory Psychometric handbooks but, however, as mentioned by Bonett and Price (2005), most of them treat it rather superficially, presenting it merely as a descriptive statistic and neglecting its inferential aspects. Indeed, a reason for this inattention probably stems from the computational complexity of the algorithm that makes rather difficult calculating it manually and the limitations of the standard statistical programs in relation with it.
Among the few software packages that include the tetrachoric correlation, there are some that are not very student-friendly (e.g., functions in R), or others that perform inefficient computations. Thus, Stata gives their users a function based on a work by Edwards and Edwards (1984), that is basically "a very rough approximation" and is consequently unsuitable for many applications (Uebersax, 2006). SPSS does not include an option for estimating the tetrachoric correlation, but Enzmann (2007) developed a macro (r_tetra) that estimates the coefficient and its statistical significance. The previous programs share the disadvantage of its high price, which can be an important deterrent for being used in educational contexts, but they have the advantage to provide many more analysis and techniques apart from tetrachoric correlation. Free programs for tetrachoric correlation do exist, but they tend to be stand alone programs such as TetMat and Tcorr (Uebersax, 2006), something that can be a very important limitation in practice at the classroom.
This paper introduces and describes the ViSta-Tetrachor software, a tool for computing the tetrachoric correlation coefficient in an easy and efficient way. Among the different computation methods that have been put forward for estimating the tetrachoric correlation coefficient, our program implements the one proposed by Bonett & Price (2005). These authors introduced an accurate and computationally simple approximation for deriving the standard error, confidence intervals and sample size planning. A brief description of the approximation to point and interval estimates is presented in Appendixes A and B and further technical details can be found in Bonett & Price (2005). The present contribution focuses only on the software implementation of the statistic because this coefficient has been thoroughly described in many textbooks (e.g. Sheskin, 2007).
The paper has two sections. In the first section we briefly describe the main features of our software. In the second, we provide several examples that illustrate how the software works with different types of data. The last example shows a more advanced application in Psychology: performing a factor analysis of a matrix of tetrachoric correlations. We close the paper with some concluding remarks.
The ViSta-Tetrachor plug-in
ViSta-Tetrachor was developed as a plug-in for ViSta "The Visual Statistics System" (Young, 1996). ViSta is a free and expandable statistical system for data analysis and visualization created by Professor Forrest W. Young at the L. L. Thurstone Psychometric Laboratory (University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill). ViSta was designed for students and novice users and is the result of many years of experience in the teaching of quantitative methods for psychology. A detailed exposition of this statistical system may be found in Young, Valero-Mora & Friendly (2006).
The ViSta-Tetrachor program requires ViSta 6.4 is available at: http://forrest.psych.unc.edu/. Once ViSta is installed, the user can add the "Tetrachoric Correlation" option by running the 'ViSta-Tetrachor.exe' file, which is also freely available at: http://www.mdp.edu.ar/psicologia/vista/vista.htm. After installation, a new analysis option should appear in the ViSta's menu bar (Figure 1). If a suitable data file is opened, the new "Tetrachoric Correlation" item is highlighted and ready to use.
Examples and Application Screenshots
The tetrachoric correlation in ViSta can be applied in different ways. We can compute it from: i) a 2x2 frequency table; ii) a raw data-set and; iii) a specific function built up by the user. In the third case the command-line interface of ViSta is used to assign frequency values as arguments.
The tetrachoric correlation in ViSta can be applied in different ways. We can compute it from: i) a 2x2 frequency table; ii) a raw data-set and; iii) a specific function built up by the user. In the third case the command-line interface of ViSta is used to assign frequency values as arguments.
Example 1. 2x2 frequency table
The data file named 'Data1.lsp' contains a 2x2 table with the first example presented by Bonett & Price (2005). These data are taken from Guilford and Fruchter (1973), who reported a 2x2 table for two questions in a personality inventory in which respondents answered either Yes or No to each question (Figure 2). This is a scenario where application of the tetrachoric correlation coefficient is usually recommended. The analysis can be performed by clicking on the corresponding item in the 'Analyze' menu, and then selecting the option "2x2 Frequency Data" (Figure 1). To see the result of the analysis, the user might go to the 'Model' menu bar item and click on the 'Report Model' option with the result of a statistical report as displayed in Figure 3. The reported tetrachoric correlation coefficient for the example data is .333 (95% CI: .237, .424), which indicates a low positive correlation between both items.
The tetrachoric correlation coefficient can also be calculated from the ViSta's listener by directly typing the frequency values of a given table. For the previous example, we would write: (tetrachoric1 '(203 186 167 374)). Figure 4 shows this expression and the result generated in the ViSta's Listener-window.
Example 2. Bivariate Raw Data
The tetrachoric correlation coefficient can also be used as a measure of inter-rater agreement, for the situation when there are two raters that classify subjects in two categories (Bonett & Price, 2005; Uebersax, 2006). Notice that Cohen's kappa is often associated to that scenario even though there are sufficient reasons (e.g., Cicchetti & Feinstein, 1990; Feinstein & Cicchetti, 1990) for using the tetrachoric correlation instead (e.g., Bonett & Price, 2005; Hutchinson, 1993).
The second example by Bonett & Price (2005) illustrates the use of the Tetrachoric correlation coefficient as a measure of inter-rater agreement. The File named 'Data2. lsp' contains the example in 'raw data' format (Figure 5). These data were obtained from Fleiss (1981, p. 213) and contain an example where 100 patients were classified into Neurosis (1) or Other (0) disorders categories by two raters. Computing the tetrachoric correlation is performed as in the previous example, but selecting the option named "Two Numeric Variables in Binary Format" instead (see Figure 1). Bonett and Price (2005, p. 22) noted that "SPSS gives an estimate of kappa equal to .50 (95%CI: .184, .816), which is much too wide to be of any value". Use of the tetrachoric correlation outputs .831 (95% CI: .488, .956), "which is not nearly as wide as the confidence interval for kappa" (Bonett & Price, 2005, p. 22).
Example 3. A Multivariate Raw Dataset
Given several variables, ViSta-Tetrachor may output all tetrachoric pairwise correlations and report them as a matrix. This requires a ViSta's multivariate data file (i.e., more than two binary variables in numeric format) as input. The file named 'Data3.lsp', which contains the LSAT-6 data provided by Bock and Lieberman (1970), is an example of a dataset of this type (see Figure 6). Responses from 1000 examinees to five items of the LSAT (Law School Admission Test), where 1 indicates a correct answer, and 0 represents an incorrect response, are the column variables. Obtaining the matrix of tetrachoric correlations is attained choosing "More than two numeric variables in binary format" Figure 1) and clicking "OK". ViSta will produce a Report as shown in see Figure 6.
Notice that this matrix is very different than the Pearson's correlations matrix displayed in Figure 8 (equivalent to the Phi coefficients). As stated by several authors, tetrachoric correlation is better at this case because it does not depend on the table margins or the pattern of difficultness of the items (see for example Kubinger, 2003).
Example 4. Factorizing a matrix of tetrachoric correlations
Besides the three previous cases presented above, there is still a fourth way of applying the tetrachoric correlation analysis in ViSta. Thus, inside the Exploratory Factor Analysis module of ViSta the user may opt between using a Pearson correlations matrix or a tetrachoric correlations matrix as input for the analysis. As using tetrachoric correlations option is often recommended for analyzing the dimensionality of binary data (Lord & Novick, 1968), it is certainly hard to believe that commercial programs like SPSS do not offer this option as, in practice, EFA may produce substantially different results (e.g., Kubinger, 2003). As a demonstration, Table 1 shows the factorial loadings of two EFAs for the dataset in example 3 with very different results in each case.
ViSta allows carrying out the factor analysis in an easy way. Figure 8 shows the user interface, an example of numerical output and a partial visual representation of a Factor Analysis obtained from a tetrachoric correlations matrix. This example illustrates the user-friendliness of the ViSta-Tetrachor software and its educational applicability in teaching statistics.
Although tetrachoric correlation analysis is considered a fundamental topic in several statistical courses, many textbooks discuss it only partially. This occurs because: i) it is difficult to compute manually and, ii) there are not many statistical programs available for computing this method efficiently. As pointed by Bonett and Price (2005), the use of the tetrachoric correlation analysis might increase if students and researchers had the opportunity of applying it in practice instead of only reading the discussion of it as provided in textbooks.
Tetrachoric coefficient is a better alternative than others used for the case of binary data. It provides a more realistic estimation than phi coefficient if applied to 2x2 tables (Bonett & Price (2005), and its value is generally larger. Hence, its use should be more frequent than it is in current practice. Besides, it has been suggested as a better choice than Cohen's kappa when agreement between raters is analyzed (Bonett & Price, 2005; Uebersax, 2006). Moreover, factorial analysis using tetrachoric correlations may be more appropriate than using Pearson's r or Phi if the variables analyzed are binary, (e.g., Muthén, 1989; Ferrando-Piera, 1996; Richard, 2005) and when the assumption of bivariate normality is shown to be plausible (Muthén & Hofacker, 1988).
The ViSta-Tetrachor software here presented performs the computations needed to obtain the point and interval estimates of the tetrachoric correlation. The main advantage of this free available program is that it applies the Bonett & Price (2005) approximation, which is easier to teach and compute and more accurate than other methods implemented in some frequently used packages (e.g., Stata). It is also friendlier than the R functions and SPSS macros needed to estimate the tetrachoric correlation. Additionally, ViSta-Tetrachor is integrated in a broad statistical system with many other related functions and is freely available (Young, 1996).
It is worth to mention that ViSta-Tetrachor calculates and reports the confidence intervals for the tetrachoric correlation coefficient, as described in Appendix B. Additionally; ViSta-Tetrachor can be applied in the context of factor analysis with psychometric purposes. In summary, we believe that this software constitutes a useful tool that simplifies the computation of an otherwise complex to calculate coefficient.

When art and craft are a big part of your life, you need space for the materials and equipment that go with it. Creative people apply their gifts not only to the work they produce, but to the spaces where they produce it.
Inside the creative studio shows the work places of painters, jewelry makers, textile and mixed-media artists and more. The studios are as individual as the work.
Some have integrated studios into their living rooms or attics; others have appropriated barns and sheds. All have applied ingenuity to organizing the materials they work with so that the materials are at hand and also a source of inspiration.
The tools of organization come from many sources like restaurant suppliers, flea markets and home improvement centres. Every manner of container is used to sort supplies, including plastic bins, baskets and buckets. They make use of dowels, garden trellis, and pegboard, as well as repurposed furniture.
Each example includes a floor plan for the space and an essay by the artist describing what works for them best.
Untamed clutter can defeat the creative process. These creative types have found ingenious ways to conquer the monster and make a space that inspires their work.

Hubbard Street Dance Chicago's Israel bill
The company imports an unlikely mix: healing, thrilling contemporary dance.
Published: March 16, 2011
Things weren't looking good for top-shelf professional dancers a decade ago. It was a time of more is more, when choreographers saturated the market with 20-minute works that contained as many moves as a three-act ballet.
Many of these works were influenced by William Forsythe's Improvisation Technologies program, which maps movement based on how the body occupies space. In the early aughties, overzealous adopters and their frenetic imitations pushed audience members, choreography and dancers to the limit.
Two highly anticipated premieres at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago illustrate how dance can move away from that edge by mapping energy within the body itself.

I tested the hall sensor ,disconnected from the controller, with a multimeter, it seem to work: i measure 0 or 5v on the sensor wires, which switch (0 and 5v) as soon as i move the wheel backward. So it seem to work properly.
Before connecting the hall sensor, i have a 5v on both throttle and hall sensor power lines: when i connect the sensor, after few seconds, it became instable, and i measure on the hall power line from 0 to 5v, and on the throttle line from 3 to 5v. so also the throttle power became unstable, but few than the hall power.
after disconnecting the pas and the brake i didint experience this problem anymore (but i didint test it for a long time, nor on the street); now i'm rewiring everything, because i found one pas wire damaged.
tomorrow i'll connect everything and we will see: if it works, it was a short on the pas which overload the 5v power, if it doesn't works it means that my controller has some problem and cant provide enough current for pas+throttle+hall+brake, so i'll have to check the 7805 regulator as suggested by Fechter.

Finding Their Voice

Their arrival in New York City marked a period called "The Harlem Renaissance."

Although slavery had ended, many blacks were still uneducated. Their shift to the urban North was an attempt to e

dear Devs, i use GPU-Z many years ago, but the last times i going to be useless. i dont really know, is there anyone who cares about the bugs???
Your GPU is integrated with the CPU, so there is no bus to transfer data on, so "N/A" was chosen to more correctly represent that fact. 15°C was an incorrect reading, -49°C is incorrect too. AMD's temperature sensors are simply a pain to work with. I'll look into the memory size number.
yes its integrated,but the Fusion Bus is still existing and temp was displayes correctly previously. I dont wanted to hurt any of the Dev(s) and im glad to your answer
there is no fusion bus, back in the day i just put "Fusion" there, because it shows "PCI" (not PCI-Express) otherwise
Indeed, the Fusion Compute Link (FCL) and the Radeon Memory Bus (RMB). Has to be there one way or the other, end of. So, why not use the proper names?
Because they aren't really "buses" in the traditional sense? They are direct links to on-chip memory. The diagram is posted shows this as "channel", as far as I understand, so personally, I didn't think it actually had a name. And it's not one way or another..it's both. FCL for cache hits, RMB for system-memory access.
Yeah, they're tightly integrated between the CPU and GPU parts of the chip hence "Fusion" and are likely to be physically very short too, but they're still there. That's all I'm saying. How else could the GPU push data and address memory?
There is definitely an interface with a well defined protocol. The CPU and GPU cores are simply tightly integrated, hence the name "Fusion" - AMD even named them as I pointed out above. My point might seem pedantic* but it's good practice to call things by their proper names, especially in a utility that is distributed widely. The fact it isn't is what caused the OP to feel confused about it in the first place. He would not have been with the correct names. *and it probably is.
you might have a point, but users expect to see "PCI-Express" "AGP" "PCI" in GPU-Z, not some mumbo jumbo term, that may or may not exist as documented. Since the GPU is integrated in the CPU, GPU-Z makes the simplification to says there is no bus interface. wontfix
That's what I thought, but didn't wanna put words in your mouth. FCL or RMB will not give users an useful info, since Google searches turn up NODDA on those two. it means nothing, other than that W1zz will help out no matter who ya are, if he can. try getting that from a big company.
lol ... you crack me up, Q. You know darn well that the "bus interface" on GPU-Z has historically meant "where type of external bus does the GC plug in to", and in this case ... none. Anyway, W1zz will make the call as it's his program. I vote for "Internal" or "Integrated"
no, im hungarian. there was just some bugs, i dont think its gonna be german precision. i think thats why this program has a forum.

Get a free HD 280 Pro headphone or free monitor carrying case with your qualifying Neumann purchase! Offer ends December 31, 2013. See offer for details.
Cardiod Neumann capsule for Sennheiser wireless system.
Thanks to the combination of the KK 204 cardioid microphone capsule with the SKM 2000 system, Neumann sound is also available in the wireless domain. This opens up new sound dimensions for the most demanding live-performance engineering.
Here the key areas of expertise of Neumann and Sennheiser are united in an unprecedented manner to create products with no compromises for professional use. Neumann capsules have already been used in combination with the Sennheiser SKM 5200 system for the past 10 years on some of the largest stages of the world and at mega-events such as the Eurovision Song Contest, where the highest demands are placed on the sound and transmission reliability.
The design of Neumann capsule heads for the Sennheiser SKM 2000 handheld transmitter is based on the extremely successful, multiple award-winning wired KMS 104 stage microphones. From these microphones the capsule heads have acquired not only their outstanding sound characteristics and technical specifications, but also their robust construction and effective suppression of pop sounds and handling noise.
The sound of the capsule heads can be described as full, transparent and naturally warm, without excessive accentuation of the bass. Due to the single polar pattern design, the polar patterns are very uniform over the entire frequency range, thus providing the basis for excellent resistance to feedback.
The capsules, and also of course the transmitter unit, are available in both nickel and black. Included with the capsule heads is a large nylon bag, which can hold not only the capsule but also the handheld transmitter, battery packs and additional accessories.
The KK 204 capsule head was developed especially for the Sennheiser SKM 2000 system. Particular importance has been placed on further damping of pop sounds and handling noise, an extremely low level of self-noise, and ease of servicing. Both capsule heads have integrated foam pop protection. The foam pores have a greatly increased surface area and can keep extreme moisture away from the capsule.

Published in 1897, "The Open Boat" is based on an actual incident from Stephen Crane's life in January of that year. While traveling to Cuba to work as a newspaper correspondent during the Cuban insurrection against Spain, Crane was stranded at sea for thirty hours after his ship, the Commodore, sank off the coast of Florida. Crane and three other men were forced to navigate their way to shore in a small boat. One of the men, an oiler named Billy Higgins, drowned while trying to swim to shore. Crane wrote the story "The Open Boat" soon afterward. The story tells of the travails of four men shipwrecked at sea who must make their way to shore in a dinghy. Crane's grippingly realistic depiction of their life-threatening ordeal captures the sensations and emotions of struggle for survival against the forces of nature. Because of the work's philosophical speculations, it is often classified as a work of Naturalism, a literary offshoot of the Realist movement. "The Open Boat" has proved an enduring classic that speaks to the timeless experience of suffering a close call with death.
