{{ page.description }}
This article is an instalment in an article series about applicative functors. An applicative functor is a data container that supports combinations. If an applicative functor contains values of a type that gives rise to a monoid, then the functor itself forms a monoid.
In a previous article you learned that lazy computations of monoids remain monoids. Furthermore, a lazy computation is an applicative functor, and it turns out that the result generalises. The result regarding lazy computation is just a special case.
Since version 4.11 of Haskell's base library, Monoid
is a subset of Semigroup
, so in order to create a Monoid
instance, you must first define a Semigroup
instance.
In order to escape the need for flexible contexts, you'll have to define a wrapper newtype
that'll be the instance. What should you call it? It's going to be an applicative functor of monoids, so perhaps something like ApplicativeMonoid? Nah, that's too long. AppMon, then? Sure, but how about flipping the terms: MonApp? That's better. Let's drop the last p and dispense with the Pascal case: Monap.
Monap almost looks like Monad, only with the last letter rotated half a revolution. This should allow for maximum confusion.
To be clear, I normally don't advocate for droll word play when writing production code, but I occasionally do it in articles and presentations. The Monap in this article exists only to illustrate a point. It's not intended to be used. Furthermore, this article doesn't discuss monads at all, so the risk of confusion should, hopefully, be minimised. I may, however, regret this decision...
First, introduce the wrapper newtype
:
newtype Monap f a = Monap { runMonap :: f a } deriving (Show, Eq)
This only states that there's a type called Monap
that wraps some higher-kinded type f a
; that is, a container f
of values of the type a
. The intent is that f
is an applicative functor, hence the use of the letter f, but the type itself doesn't constrain f
to any type class.

Here's an example of combining two applicative semigroups:
λ> Monap (Just (Max 42)) <> Monap (Just (Max 1337)) Monap {runMonap = Just (Max {getMax = 1337})}
This example uses the Max
semigroup container, and Maybe
as the applicative functor. For Max
, the <>
operator returns the value that contains the highest value, which in this case is 1337.
It even works when the applicative functor in question is IO
:
λ> runMonap $ Monap (Sum <$> randomIO @Word8) <> Monap (Sum <$> randomIO @Word8) Sum {getSum = 165}
This example uses randomIO
to generate two random values. It uses the TypeApplications
GHC extension to make randomIO
generate Word8
values. Each random number is projected into the Sum
container, which means that <>
will add the numbers together. In the above example, the result is 165, but if you evaluate the expression a second time, you'll most likely get another result:
λ> runMonap $ Monap (Sum <$> randomIO @Word8) <> Monap (Sum <$> randomIO @Word8) Sum {getSum = 246}
You can also use linked list ([]
) as the applicative functor. In this case, the result may be surprising (depending on what you expect):
λ> Monap [Product 2, Product 3] <> Monap [Product 4, Product 5, Product 6] Monap {runMonap = [Product {getProduct = 8},Product {getProduct = 10},Product {getProduct = 12}, Product {getProduct = 12},Product {getProduct = 15},Product {getProduct = 18}]}
Notice that we get all the combinations of products: 2 multiplied with each element in the second list, followed by 3 multiplied by each of the elements in the second list. This shouldn't be that startling, though, since you've already, previously in this article series, seen several examples of how an applicative functor implies combinations.
With the Semigroup
instance in place, you can now add the Monoid
instance:
instance (Applicative f, Monoid a) => Monoid (Monap f a) where mempty = Monap $ pure $ mempty
This is straightforward: you take the identity (mempty
) of the monoid a
, promote it to the applicative functor f
with pure
, and finally put that value into the Monap
wrapper.
This works fine as well:
λ> mempty :: Monap Maybe (Sum Integer) Monap {runMonap = Just (Sum {getSum = 0})} λ> mempty :: Monap [] (Product Word8) Monap {runMonap = [Product {getProduct = 1}]}
The identity laws also seem to hold:
λ> Monap (Right mempty) <> Monap (Right (Sum 2112)) Monap {runMonap = Right (Sum {getSum = 2112})} λ> Monap ("foo", All False) <> Monap mempty Monap {runMonap = ("foo",All {getAll = False})}
The last, right-identity example is interesting, because the applicative functor in question is a tuple. Tuples are Applicative
instances when the first, or left, element is a Monoid
instance. In other words, f
is, in this case, (,) String
. The Monoid
instance that Monap
sees as a
, on the other hand, is All
.
Since tuples of monoids are themselves monoids, however, I can get away with writing Monap mempty
on the right-hand side, instead of the more elaborate template the other examples use:
λ> Monap ("foo", All False) <> Monap ("", mempty) Monap {runMonap = ("foo",All {getAll = False})}
or perhaps even:
λ> Monap ("foo", All False) <> Monap (mempty, mempty) Monap {runMonap = ("foo",All {getAll = False})}
Ultimately, all three alternatives mean the same.
As usual, I'm not going to do the work of formally proving that the monoid laws hold for the Monap
instances, but I'd like to share some QuickCheck properties that indicate that they do, starting with a property that verifies associativity:
assocLaw :: (Eq a, Show a, Semigroup a) => a -> a -> a -> Property assocLaw x y z = (x <> y) <> z === x <> (y <> z)
This property is entirely generic. It'll verify associativity for any Semigroup a
, not only for Monap
. You can, however, run it for various Monap
types, as well. You'll see how this is done a little later.
Likewise, you can write two properties that check left and right identity, respectively.
leftIdLaw :: (Eq a, Show a, Monoid a) => a -> Property leftIdLaw x = x === mempty <> x rightIdLaw :: (Eq a, Show a, Monoid a) => a -> Property rightIdLaw x = x === x <> mempty
Again, this is entirely generic. These properties can be used to test the identity laws for any monoid, including Monap
.
You can run each of these properties multiple time, for various different functors and monoids. As Applicative
instances, I've used Maybe
, []
, (,) Any
, and Identity
. As Monoid
instances, I've used String
, Sum Integer
, Max Int16
, and [Float]
. Notice that a list ([]
) is both an applicative functor as well as a monoid. In this test set, I've used it in both roles.
tests = [ testGroup "Properties" [ testProperty "Associativity law, Maybe String" (assocLaw @(Monap Maybe String)), testProperty "Left identity law, Maybe String" (leftIdLaw @(Monap Maybe String)), testProperty "Right identity law, Maybe String" (rightIdLaw @(Monap Maybe String)), testProperty "Associativity law, [Sum Integer]" (assocLaw @(Monap [] (Sum Integer))), testProperty "Left identity law, [Sum Integer]" (leftIdLaw @(Monap [] (Sum Integer))), testProperty "Right identity law, [Sum Integer]" (rightIdLaw @(Monap [] (Sum Integer))), testProperty "Associativity law, (Any, Max Int8)" (assocLaw @(Monap ((,) Any) (Max Int8))), testProperty "Left identity law, (Any, Max Int8)" (leftIdLaw @(Monap ((,) Any) (Max Int8))), testProperty "Right identity law, (Any, Max Int8)" (rightIdLaw @(Monap ((,) Any) (Max Int8))), testProperty "Associativity law, Identity [Float]" (assocLaw @(Monap Identity [Float])), testProperty "Left identity law, Identity [Float]" (leftIdLaw @(Monap Identity [Float])), testProperty "Right identity law, Identity [Float]" (rightIdLaw @(Monap Identity [Float])) ] ]
All of these properties pass.
It seems that any applicative functor that contains monoidal values itself forms a monoid. The Monap
type presented in this article only exists to demonstrate this conjecture; it's not intended to be used.
If it holds, I think it's an interesting result, because it further enables you to reason about the properties of complex systems, based on the properties of simpler systems.
Next: Bifunctors.
Comments
Is it necessary for the functor to be applicative? Do you know of a functor that contains monoidal values for which itself does not form a monoid?
Tyson, thank you for writing. Yes, it's necessary for the functor to be applicative, because you need the applicative combination operator
<*>
in order to implement the combination. In C#, you'd need anApply
method as shown here.Technically, the monoidal
<>
operator forMonap
is, as you can see, implemented with a call toliftA2
. In Haskell, you can implement an instance ofApplicative
by implementing eitherliftA2
or<*>
, as well aspure
. You usually seeApplicative
described by<*>
, which is what I've done in my article series on applicative functors. If you do that, you can defineliftA2
by a combination of<*>
andfmap
(theSelect
method that defines functors).If you want to put this in C# terms, you need both
Select
andApply
in order to be able to lift a monoid into a functor.Is there a functor that contains monoidal values that itself doesn't form a monoid?
Yes, indeed. In order to answer that question, we 'just' need to identify a functor that's not an applicative functor. Tuples are good examples.
A tuple forms a functor, but in general nothing more than that. Consider a tuple where the first element is a
Guid
. It's a functor, but can you implement the following function?You can pull the
T
value out ofsource
and project it to aTResult
value withselector
, but you'll need to put it back in aTuple<Guid, TResult>
. WhichGuid
value are you going to use for that tuple?There's no clear answer to that question.
More specifically, consider
Tuple<Guid, int>
. This is a functor that contains monoidal values. Let's say that we want to use the addition monoid over integers. How would you implement the following method?Again, you run into the issue that while you can pull the integers out of the tuples and add them together, there's no clear way to figure out which
Guid
value to put into the tuple that contains the sum.The issue particularly with tuples is that there's no general way to combine the leftmost values of the tuples. If there is - that is, if leftmost values form a monoid - then the tuple is also an applicative functor. For example,
Tuple<string, int>
is applicative and forms a monoid over addition:You can also implement
Add
withApply
, but you're going to need twoApply
overloads to make it work.Incidentally, unbeknownst to me, the
Ap
wrapper was added to Haskell'sData.Monoid
module 12 days before I wrote this article. In all but name, it's equivalent to theMonap
wrapper presented here.I want to add some prepositional phrases to our statements like I commented here to help claify things. I don't think that
Tuple<string, int>
can be applicative because there are no type parameters in which it could be applicative. Were you trying to say thatTuple<string, B>
is applicative inB
? This seems to match yourApply
function, which doesn't depend onint
.Tyson, you're quite right; good catch. My wording was incorrect (I was probably either tired or in a hurry when I wrote that), but fortunately, the code looks like it's correct.
That you for pointing out my error.
I do agree with the monoid part, where "addition" means string concatenation for the first item and integer addition for the second item.
Now I am trying to improve my understanding of this statement. In Haskell, my understanding the definition of the Applicative type class applied to
Tuple<string, B>
requires a functionpure
fromB
toTuple<string, B>
. What it the definition of this funciton? Does it use the empty string in order to make an instance ofTuple<string, B>
? If so, what is the justification for this? Or maybe my reasoning here is mistaken.Tyson, thank you for writing. In Haskell, it's true that applicative functors must also define
pure
. In this article series, I've glosssed over that constraint, since I'm not aware of any data containers that can lawfully implement<*>
orliftA2
, but can't definepure
.The applicative instance for tuples is, however, constrained:
The construct
((,) a)
means any tuple where the first element has the generic typea
. The entire expression means that tuples are applicative functors when the first element forms a monoid; that's the restriction ona
. The definition ofpure
, then, is:That is, use the monoidal identity (
mempty
) for the first element, and usex
as the second element. For strings, since the identity for string concatenation is the empty string, yes, it does exactly mean thatpure
forTuple<string, B>
would return a tuple with the empty string, and the input argument as the second element:That's the behaviour you get from Haskell as well:


ldap_get_attributes
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
ldap_get_attributes — Get attributes from a search result entry
说明
array ldap_get_attributes ( resource $link_identifier , resource
$result_entry_identifier )
Reads attributes and values from an entry in the search result.
Having located a specific entry in the directory, you can find out what
information is held for that entry by using this call. You would use this call
for an application which "browses" directory entries and/or where you do not
know the structure of the directory entries. In many applications you will be
searching for a specific attribute such as an email address or a surname, and
won't care what other data is held.
return_value["count"] = number of attributes in the entry
return_value[0] = first attribute
return_value[n] = nth attribute
return_value["attribute"]["count"] = number of values for attribute
return_value["attribute"][0] = first value of the attribute
return_value["attribute"][i] = (i+1)th value of the attribute
参数
link_identifier
An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect().
result_entry_identifier
返回值
Returns a complete entry information in a multi-dimensional array on success
and FALSE on error.
范例
Example #1 Show the list of attributes held for a particular directory entry

}

• ldap_first_attribute() - Return first attribute
• ldap_next_attribute() - Get the next attribute in result
User Contributed Notes 6 notes
===============================================================================
It's good practice to use array_change_key_case() on the result of
ldap_get_attributes() so your program can ignore case in attribute names just
like ldap itself does. (You wouldn't want ldap_get_attributes to _always_
flatten the case because you need a way to get the attribute names in a pretty
format for display to the user.)
===============================================================================
Code and function to extract all attributes from all entryes in a certain DN.
Maybe not the most timewise efficient but it works.
$entry = ldap_first_entry($ds, $sr);
write_attr($entry,$ds);
for ($i = 0; $i < $n_entries; $i++){
$entry = ldap_next_entry($ds, $entry);
write_attr($entry,$ds);
}
function write_attr($entry,$ds){
$attrs = ldap_get_attributes ($ds, $entry);
for ($j = 0; $j < $attrs["count"]; $j++){
$attr_name = $attrs[$j];
$attrs["$attr_name"]["count"] . "\n";
for ($k = 0; $k < $attrs["$attr_name"]["count"]; $k++) {
echo ">>>>>>";
echo $attr_name.": ".$attrs["$attr_name"][$k]."\n";
}
}
}
===============================================================================
Note that ldap_get_attributes fetches attributes AND values from the LDAP
server. Depending on the data stored in the entry, the following code might
work a dozen times faster (or even better, but faster in general) than the code
in Example 1:
";
for ($i=0; $i";
}
?>
You may want to check the time difference with the function "microtime".
===============================================================================
The array created by this function is similar to the on from ldap_get_entries()
but when it creates array keys it alters the attribute's case inconsistently.
ldap_get_entries() lowercases all of the attributes before keying the array
with them, but this function appears to leave things as they are.
If you're having problems, do a print_r and make sure you're using correct case
for array keys. For example, you might need to use "objectClass" and not
"objectclass".
===============================================================================
As of PHP 4.0.5, the ldap_get_attributes function does not work with binary
data. If you're fetching a JPEG from an LDAP server, use ldap_get_values_len
instead.
===============================================================================
I spent quite a while scratching my head about how to read operational
attributes such as create and modify timestamps.
This function solved it....
function get_entry_system_attrs( $ds, $dn, $deref=LDAP_DEREF_NEVER )
{
$conn = $ds;
$attrs = array( 'creatorsname', 'createtimestamp', 'modifiersname',
'structuralObjectClass', 'entryUUID', 'modifytimestamp',
'subschemaSubentry', 'hasSubordinates', '+' );
$search = @ldap_read( $conn, $dn, '(objectClass=*)', $attrs, 0, 0, 0, $deref
);
if( ! $search )
return false;
$entry = ldap_first_entry( $conn, $search );
if( ! $entry)
return false;
$attrs = ldap_get_attributes( $conn, $entry );
if( ! $attrs )
return false;
if( ! isset( $attrs['count'] ) )
return false;
$count = $attrs['count'];
unset( $attrs['count'] );
$return_attrs = array();
for( $i=0; $i<$count; $i++ ) {
$attr_name = $attrs[$i];
unset( $attrs[$attr_name]['count'] );
$return_attrs[$attr_name] = $attrs[$attr_name];
}
return $return_attrs;
}

We do not provide any type of customization services, however you can use services like WP Kraken or other freelancing platforms for Customization Services.
Upgrade - Must Read: If you are upgrading theme from previous versions, please backup your WordPress install and databse. Ensure that you have all of your customizations in your entrada-child theme AND export your customizer and widgets for backup. If you dont follow these steps, you may lose all your customizations and its irreversible!Install Theme
Wordpress and Server Requirements
To get the best out of Entrada, please make sure you are running WordPress 4.5 or greater, PHP 7.0 or greater, and MySQL 5.6 or greater. For more information, please view Wordpress Requirements.
To install this theme, you are also expected to have a working Wordpress installation on your server. If you don't already have a Wordpress installed and running on your server, here are some useful links that will guide you with Wordpress installation.
- Installing Wordpress -- Information provided by Wordpress Codex on how to install wordpress
- Getting Started with Wordpress -- More general information on how to work with wordpress and managing sites and content with wordpress.
Install Entrada Wordpress Theme
Here is an step by step guide to set up Entrada theme in your wordpress setup. It is recommended that you start with a clean install of wordpress if you wish to set it up exactly like the demo preview you saw in themeforest. Setting up a demo install first is also recommneded because this will show you how each of the block is created and how they function in front and backend.
Important: First of all, extract the zip folder "entrada-package" you downloaded from themeforest after purchase. Inside it, you will find folders named entrada.zip (theme folder), entrada-child.zip (entrada child theme), entrada-child-modern.zip (entrada child modern variation), demo-content (demo content to import), documentation (how to set up theme and demos), extensions (premium plugins included with theme), slider (demo revolutions sliders for import) and license. Please make a note that the folder named entrada.zip is the theme folder that you upload inside your wordpress or FTP it to your wp-content/themes folder.
Hopefully thats cleared up - so lets begin the "theme" installation process.
- Login to your wordpress admin dashboard.
- Navigate to Appearance → Themes
- Click on Add New and then click Upload
- Select entrada.zip from inside your download folder.
- Click the upload button and wait for message.
- Now, do not click on "Activate", Istead, again click on Add New and then click Upload
- To import Default Demo Select entrada-child.zip from inside your download folder.
- To import Modern Demo Select entrada-child-modern.zip from inside your download folder.
- Click on Activate button this time and Entrada theme is Installed and Entrada Child theme is activated!.
- On top - you will get notification - click on "Begin Installing Plugins".
- You get list of plugins, required and recommended. **Select all and Install.
- Click on "Return to required plugin installer" link.
- Select All Plugins by checking the Plugin box on top and Activate. During activation, the screen may appear blank for upto 4 or 5 minutes, please be patient, do not navigate away and wait until you get the success message.
The Plugins Details
- Contact form 7 - Recommended - *Note, contact page form will not work without this.
- One Click Demo - Recommended for one click import of demo. One click import will not work without this plugin.
- Slider Revolution - Recommended *Certain home pages will not work without this plugin. Also, custom search forms on top of sliders will need modifications without this plugin.
- WPBakery Visual Composer - Required, the pages and posts will not work without this.
- Woocommerce - Required, products, categories, ecommerce etc. will not work without this.
- Widget Importer & Exporter - Required for One Click Demo Import. Not needed if you are importing demo contant via wordpress importer.
- Regen. Thumbnails - Recommended for resizing images automatically to design specifications. You can delete this once you have imported content and run this plugin after demo import.
You can always deactive or even delete the plugins like One Click Demo Import, Regen. Thumbnails, Customizer Export/Import after you have successfully imported the demo site. But initially, during the demo set up to have it look aand work exactly as in our demo setup - it is best to install and activate all plugins required nd recommended.
Import Demo Content
The one click demo import will only work if you installed this plugin in previous step. Please note that, this process will take between 10 to 20 minutes as there are hundreds of placeholder images to be downloaded and number of pages to be integrated and synced with your wordpress. Also, after the one click demo import has done its job, it will notify you with a success message, you should not navigate away from this page or close this page until you have received this message. Once completed, its safe to deactivate and delete this plugin from your plugins folder or by going to Plugins / Installed Plugins page.
Pre-Requisite for Demo Import: Woocommerce
- Ensure that you have installed and activated woocommerce plugin.
- If NOT, a notification will appear saying "The Entrada WC Taxonomy plugin requires WooCommerce installed and activated."
- Click on
Woocommerce - Run the Setup Wizard
button. - Complete the woocommerce set up process. Remember to set price decimals to "0" and to chose payment options.
- Additionally, check the box for "Redirect to cart page after successful addition.
- Navigate to Woocommerce → settings → products → display and enter values for image dimensions as shown in screenshot below.
Import Demo Content
- Navigate to Appearance → Import Demo Data - click on
Import Demo Data
button. This process can take some time so please be patient. - After the demo content has been imported successfully - you will get a confirmation message as shown below.

AC/DC converters are also called rectifiers
Conventional AC/DC converters contain diodes and thyristors. If thyristors are used, the output voltage of the rectifier can be controlled. If only diodes are used, the output voltages is solely dependent on the input voltage and the characteristic of applied diodes.
The PowerConverters library provides bridge and center tap rectifiers for single and multi phase supply, see AC/DC converters.
For each of the provided rectifiers a control model is available. These control models have electrical connectors to be connected with the AC supply. The firing angle of thyristor rectifiers can either be set by a parameter or a signal input.
A variety of examples is provided at Examples.ACDC.
These examples include different kinds of DC loads. Even the
control characteristics of the rectifiers can be obtained
experimentally; the names of these models contain
_Characteristic

Toasted vs Ghosted (or Why Stealth?)
Two guards, one with a machine gun at the ready, the other pulls lazily on the bent remains of a cigarette, smoke trailing above him. Beyond, three cameras, all of which will alert the rest of the security team. Crouching in the shadows between a row of shipping crates and traffic cones you weigh the options.
One: arm your fully automatic weapon, pull the grenades from your utility belt, pop the guards, blow off the cameras, and dump the grenades on the incoming security forces, then walk through the rubble, acquire the target, and walk out before major reinforcements arrive.
Two: silently evade each of the guards, then disable the security cameras for long enough to slip by without being detected. Once inside another similar situation will present itself, and then another, until the target has been retrieved and you escape with your enemies none the wiser.
So what will it be, toasted or ghosted?
Players of stealth action games know that there is only one answer. Indeed there is really only one option. Now, how one goes about ghosting a level is entirely up to one’s creativity, risk aversion, and patience.
Why is it that blasting one’s way in seems so distasteful, so unrefined, so barbaric? Certainly more NPCs will die in this scenario, but they’re just digital representations of people after all. No one will care that they’re gone. Or maybe the head-through-wall method shows a lack of intellect. Wouldn’t want to look like some meathead, would you? Nope.
Why is it that the silent, nobody-even-knew-you-were-there approach is so much cooler? The game probably rewards such behavior, but that’s not likely to be enough. It could be that you’re low on ammo and can’t shoot your way in (though if we assume a modern game, this is also not likely).
The answer, I think, goes back to the medium through which the player experiences the scene. It’s a digital world, filled with digital representations of people. Now, if you were to literally explode your way into a highly secure facility in real life, that would be spectacular to watch. Gruesome, but spectacular. If you were to sneak into the same facility, there would be less spectacle—though probably more praise. The thing is, it’s not real life, so your explosions and chunks of debris and dead bodies aren’t all that impressive. However, maneuvering past the traps and guards flawlessly is still impressive even though the guards are little more than dumb, walking security cameras, and disabling the actual cameras in-game means pushing a single button or winning a mini-game designed to be just difficult enough to slow you down.
You needed timing, sure, but so does the head-through-wall guy. You needed mastery of the controller, and again so did he. Here’s the difference: stealth, good stealth, requires forethought, resourceful improvisation, and above all, patience.
Games are a pastime for most, and time is the scarcest of all resources. Stealth forces the player to spend that resource doing what seems like nothing. Killing that guard would be faster, but tossing a Coke can at the opposing wall and laughing as you duck past while he’s busy investigating, is a different experience entirely. The guns-blazing option makes use of copious amounts of in-game resources: bullets, grenades, health-packs, NPCs. With stealth, real “ghosted” stealth, no resources are consumed in-game, but time and patience are. Now that the most important resource of all has been invested, the payoff is greater, as is the frustration with failure.
The ghost combines patience with thought and skill to provide an incredibly rewarding outcome, a flawless conquering of the system.

--- layout: post title: A Hub and Spokes Model for Documentation on Large Projects ---
As projects grow it can be difficult to keep track of all of the documentation associated with them. Between product requirements documents, design documents, meeting notes, and architecture decision records it can be easy to find yourself lost in a forest of Google Documents trying to find that one document which has the information you need. A while ago a friend told me about a simple model to manage this complexity on large projects, something he called "the hub and spokes" model of project documentation.
The basic idea of the hub-and-spokes model is simple: you create a central document (a hub) which serves as an entrypoint into the project. Oftentimes this is some central "why are we doing this thing" document like a product requirements document or a project brief. You then use that to link out to smaller documents (notes, decision logs, scoping documents) which describe a more focused topic. Within the more focused document you include a backlink to the "hub" so that folks can walk up the stack.
This approach isn't necceary in tools like Confluence which automatically create a documentation tree, but they take a little more discipline when you're just using a raw documents tool like Google Docs.

Teacher and Student Thoughts: Experiencing VR
Mar 5, 2018 • Neal Grandgenett
“Students Think About VR as We Pilot”
` Hi everyone! I am Dr. Neal Grandgenett, the external evaluator for the project, and the STEM Community Chair at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. As the evaluator for the project, it is my honor and privilege to watch as the project evolves and to engage in all of the great thinking and efforts, not only by the CoPI team, but also by the teachers and students starting to use the project. We are already getting some great thinking from possible stakeholders, and we recently had a teacher visit over two nights with 2 students each night. They experienced several activities on the Alienware computer with the Oculus Rift were setup in the impressive location of UNL’s Nebraska Innovation Studio.
It was really neat to see the students dig into the VR, and all of us marveled as adults just how easily the four high school students navigated the VR experience, laughing and giggling the whole time. It was quite impressive to see.
Afterwards, we ran a focus group on student thoughts and here are some things that they mentioned to us that they liked about the experience:
“It was so fun. When you can mess with semi-physical objects in an illogical way, like blowing up fireworks while holding them something you wouldn’t do in real life.”
“It was so cool, I love VR. I liked being in a place/world where you can’t be.”
“I would like to use this more with an engineering point. Like CAD, I never got the hang of CAD.”
“In chemistry, it would be helpful for the models. Seeing how things react to one another. It would be easier to see how the things interact to do a thing. You could speed up the reactions instead of having 3-4 days for a single lab to get through.”
“In engineering you could probably build model bridges and figure out what would be wrong with them.”
“It was helpful having someone right next to me [virtually]. Connecting it to a student’s interest like art would be great”.
“It was kind of cool. It was helpful to co-learn together.”
They did have a few thoughts for us to consider as we ramp VR experiences into standard school curriculums. Here are a few quotes that will help us think about future strategies that might be undertaken in schools.
“It got pretty tricky when working with others [in the VR space].”
“Something like sculpting or artwork is a good place to start.”
“There were so many buttons [In the VR space] and it was really touchy with which buttons you pressed at which time.
“Sometimes things would happen that you didn’t exactly intend. I did start getting a headache after a while and I also didn’t have my glasses on and I didn’t know if I could focus quite right.”
“My parents would be concerned to access to games on the internet. They would be nervous about the kind of games I could get my hands on fairly easily.”
“VR didn’t really make me nervous until I ran in to the table in front of me.”
“Where can I [personally] buy one?”
“Thought it was interesting. When something did go wrong, it was fun to figure out what happened.”
What a great group of students, and thanks again to Mr. Steve Hamersky, and Daniel J. Gross High School for participating in both the VR pilot and the focus groups. We have three more teachers bringing students for more extensive pilots in April, and I will be sure to post a blog update and some pictures this next time of their efforts in action.
Again, what an exciting project and so proud to be a part of all of it! Exciting stuff! Neal

How’s it going my friends? I just painted 4 types of chili peppers that I love and eat a lot. It’s inpired by @deemarshall’s Foodstorm Contest.
She asks participants to make some art about aphrodisiacs food. So the first thing coming to my mind is chili pepper. I have loved hot spicy food since a very young age, mainly influenced by my grandparents’ cooking. I don’t think I had any idea of aphrodisiacs then though… 😄
To make it a bit more fun, let’s play a little game! Can you tell me the names of these 4 peppers? I’m not saying “guess”, since I painted these peppers in a pretty realistic way. It shouldn’t be too diffcult right? The first person who get their names right will have 1 Steem. So come join it! Look forward to your answers.
##
Here’s the breakdown:

嗨~ 我刚画了四种自己最喜欢吃的辣椒，参加@deemarshall的画美食活动。
你们能说出这是哪四种辣椒吗？我觉得用“猜”不太准确，因为这些画得分明很写实啊，有木有？几乎一看就知道是啥，简直送分题！
七天后公布答案，第一位猜对的朋友可以得到1Steem，赶快来留言吧！🙂

Basic modeling with Python¶
Problem files |
This example illustrates how Python scripting can be used with quoFEM to express general mathematical models without the use of a dedicated finite element analysis engine.
The Rosenbrock function is a test function that is often used to evaluate numerical optimization algorithms. It is given by the following expression:
A forward propagation analysis will be conducted to numerically integrate the first and second moments of a random variable whose value is obtained by applying the Rosenbrock function to the two following statistically independent random variables:
First variable,
X
: Uniform distribution with a lower bound \((L_B)\) of \(-2.0\), upper bound \((U_B)\) of \(2.0\),Second variable,
Y
: Uniform distribution with a lower bound \((L_B)\) of \(1.4\), upper bound \((U_B)\) of \(1.6\),
UQ Workflow¶
The objective of this UQ problem is to numerically integrate the following integrals with a forward propagation routine:
where \(f_{XY}(x,y)\) is the joint probability density function of the random variables \(X\) and \(Y\).
This procedure is implemented with a Latin hypercube sampling routine in quoFEM by entering the following inputs in the UQ tab:

Model Files¶
For this forward propagation problem, we need to define a Python script
that will import a set of random variable values, apply them to the
Rosenbrock function, then write the results to a file named
results.out
for every random variable realization generated by
Dakota. To this end, we begin by defining our random variables as Python
objects as follows, and supplying this as a .py
script in the
Parameters File field of the FEM tab:
X = 0.0
Y = 0.0
Although this file will later be used as a Python module, it is important to note that in the quoFEM workflow, it is NOT handled as a true Python script. Rather, it can be thought of loosely as analogous to a C “header file” in that it simply gives us an interface to Dakota from Python. The values assigned to the variables at this point will not be used.
Note: The Parameters File is not a true Python script; For the time being, until further documentation about the tool is developed, users should only use line-by-line variable definitions in this file. Python assignments like
X, Y = 0.0, 0.0
are not supported.
We can now implement our model for the Input File which will begin
with a star-import from the parameters file we just created. Assuming
that file was named params.py
, this import would look like so:
from params import *
Next we define the following simple function which evaluates the Rosenbrock function:
def rosenbrock(x, y):
a = 1.
b = 100.
return (a - x)**2.0 + b*(y - x**2.)**2.
Finally, we apply our rosenbrock
function to the variables we
imported from params
, and write the results to a file called
results.out
. Note that throughout the forward propagation routine,
the values assigned to the variables X
and Y
in the params
interface are varied by the workflow application.
with open('results.out', 'w') as f:
result = rosenbrock(X, Y)
f.write('{:.60g}'.format(result))
The code from these steps is colleted and made available for download in the following files:
rosenbrock.py: This file is a Python script which implements the Rosenbrock function. It is supplied to the Input Script field of the FEM tab. Because this file write directly to
results.out
, it obviates the need for supplying a Postprocess Script. When invoked in the workflow, the Python routine is supplied a set of random variable realizations through the star-import of the script supplied to the Parameters File field.params.py: This file is a Python script which defines the problem’s random variables as objects in the Python runtime. It is supplied to the Parameters File field of the FEM tab. The literal values which are assigned to variables in this file will be varied at runtime by the UQ engine.


Hello, my name is Gabriel Fuentes. I am a very curious person who likes to spend time doing many things to keep myself occupied. Spending much time everyday to learning as I am a student as a part of two schools: Barry Goldwater Highschool (BGHS) and West-Mec.
My dedication currently is to learn about things make me curious. This can vary quite a lot as I learn basic stuff from school like Math, Science, Social Studies, and Literature. However, I also learn about more specific things like Physics, Coding, Phone repair, and Computer Building/Repairing. Some examples of this is a laptop I built.
Furthermore attending the Coding Program at West-Mec has helped me learn how to become a web designer teaching things that normally is only for people not attending highschool. They teach students and adults like me real life skills we can use and apply at the workplace like being Professional or learning how to make a resume.
My family and I live Deer Valley, Arizona with my mother, brother, step-dad, and with 2 dogs.
My personal time is very packed and has a variety of things to see like watching education based Youtube channels, reading about new technology releases, playing video games, and making house cleaning supplies with natural cleaners. I also spend time reading books and going hiking.
Hello world! This is HTML5 Boilerplate.


About Me:
My name is Carl Kanner and I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I currently live in Little Italy with my wife Kim and our 3-month-old son August.
We are a two cat household. I inherited my wife's and mother-in-law's pet cat Pery and Monkey. They hate each other, and our home is filled with the sounds of hissing cats and the occasional crying baby...I assure you it's not as bad as it sounds unless your trying study and master floating in CSS
Currently, I work in a family business with my father and brother-in-law. Before working in the family business, I graduated from Babson College in Boston. Babson College is a small, 1,400 U-Grad college offering degrees only in business. They are best known for their studies in entrepreneurship and have been ranked #1 in that subject for 21 consecutive years by US News and World Report.
After college, I started and ran several of my own companies. The most successful of which is called Alpha Architect. Alpha Architect is a registered investment advisor that markets and sells our proprietary quantitative investment strategies. Alpha Architect goes to market through separately managed accounts, a traditional hedge fund product and through our five publically traded exchange-traded funds.
Our company Pubco, and through its subsidiaries manufactures and markets pressure sensitive labels, mobile label printers, industrial demolition equipment and typewriters. At my current job, I am responsible for new acquisition, sourcing equipment and helping to oversee our manufacturing operation.
