| Package to play basics sounds on the e-puck's speaker. | |
The e-puck has got a speaker on his top.
The internals functions of this package are written in assembler, because of speed. The sound you can play is in the file codec/e_const_sound.s
The externals functions are located in the file codec/e_sound.c. There are three functions: e_init_sound(void), e_play_sound(int sound_offset, int sound_length) and void e_close_sound(void). When you want to play a sound YOU HAVE TO call e_init_sound(void) at first, but only the first time.
To play a sound call e_play_sound(int sound_offset, int sound_length). This function takes two parameters, the first set the begining of the sound, the second set the length of the sound. In fact it works like this:
If you don't want to use the sound anymore call e_close_sound.
In the file codec/e_const_sound.s there are 19044 words. Five sounds are organized as following [begining, length]:
Then if you want to play the "yaouh" sound from the begining to the end just write this: e_play_sound(7294, 3732);
A little exemple which plays the five sounds one by one.


Behind the Scenes: Sculptober 3rd Day - Jellyfish
by Abby CrawfordWho am I?
Hello! My name is Carina Soares and I’m a 3D Artist living in Oporto, Portugal.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Digital Game Design from EsACT-IPB, which is where my love for 3D began.
In my free time, I embrace challenges like #Sculptober, and that’s where this jellyfish was born.
Jellyfish Process
Research
The theme of Day 3 of the Sculptober Challenge was “Deep Sea”.
To me, the theme was fascinating because I’ve often thought about the photoluminescent creatures that live at those depths.
3D Modeling
After doing some research, I had a good idea of the look and shape of the creature I wanted to create. It was pretty straightforward modeling.
I started with the “inner head”, because of the effect I wanted to create afterward.
Since I also like stylized and cute characters, I added eyes and cheeks. These facial features added a lot of character and expression to the creature. The eyes, the reflection on the eyes (they are 3D, as well), and the mouth are all separate shapes, ready to have materials of their own.
Next, I just duplicated the inner head, scaled it, and adjusted its shape using Sculpt mode in Blender 2.8. In the image below, you can see how the wireframe looks.
The tentacles were pretty straightforward as well. I used a set of bezier curves, and I played with the Geometry and Bevel from the Object Data. I added another bezier curve on the “taper object” option to create the pointy ends of the tentacles.
After I had given the right shape to the tentacles by adjusting the points in Edit Mode, I created two sets of tentacles by duplicating and rotating them to create different shapes; one was for interior tentacles that would have the same material as the inner head object (yellow material) and the other for exterior tentacles that would have the same material as the “outer head”.
The character was pretty much ready, but I still wanted to add some small details such as bubbles. The bubbles are simple spheres with random placement and sizes to give a more “natural” look. They also helped to add more depth to the scene.
Materials and Shaders
For organizational purposes, I started to work on the objects that shared the same material. I chose EEVEE as the render engine.
First I worked on the materials for the inner head and inner tentacles. The material has only an Emission node and is linked to a Material Output Surface. I chose a strong yellow to contrast with the background, which is set to be a deep blue.
On top of the inner head of the Jellyfish, I added the eyes and mouth material with a similar shader as the inner head, but with a different color.
Now comes the best part: the translucent material that uses a ColorRamp and Glass nodes to give it its flair. This shader is shared by the cheeks, the outer head and outer tentacles.
Above are the values I played with to get the right feel. Also notice that in “Settings”on the Texture Coordinate node, I’ve used the Additive blend mode, which was the one that helped me to create the almost glassy feel that the other modes did not create.
After setting up the Texture Coordinate as I mentioned above, I added a Mapping node because I wanted to define a “direction” for the gradient to work in the way I wanted. I played with the Point, setting the Y at 90º.
In order to create the colorful gradient, I added a Gradient Texture node, linked by vector with the Mapping node and by color with the ColorRamp node. I also added the Glass BSDFnode, but it is linked with Mix Shader like the ColorRamp is.
This one is really special because it is where I defined the 3 colors (blue, pink and yellow) that will give that dreamy feel to the image.
Notice that the yellow color is at the far right position of the ColorRamp. This is intentional because I wanted to create a connection with the yellow objects above.
To wrap this all up, the final nodes are the Mix Shader that blends the ColorRamp and the Glass BSDF, and the Material Output linked to the Surface.
In the end, the Translucent Material Shader should look like this:
The bubbles’ material is pretty much similar, only with a few changes in the ColorRamp node.
Renders
In the last part, I have to set up a camera to be able to render some images. The size of the images is width: 1080px, height: 720px.
After the camera is set up, I press F12 and let Blender do its magic.
Epilogue
The goal was to have a cute character, with an almost 2D feel, using 3D modeling and shaders.
You can see more renders of the artwork here.
And here is a small GIF:
I am honored to have been contacted to write this article about the “Jellyfish” process.
I was just starting to learn Blender 2.8 when I was featured, and this inspires me to do much more for the program and the community.

Layering views¶
Sometimes, it’s useful to superimpose one chart on top of another. You can accomplish this by using the layer
operator. This operator is one of Vega-Lite’s view composition operators. To define a layered chart, put multiple specifications into an array under the layer
property.
{
"layer": [
... // Single or layered view specifications
]
}
In addition to common properties of a view specification, a layer specification has the following properties:
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="layer,width,height,encoding,projection,resolve" source="LayerSpec" %}
Please note that you can only layer single or layered views to guarantee that the combined views have a compatible layout. For instance, it is not clear how a composed view with two views side-by-side could be layered on top of a single view.
Example¶
A layered chart consistent of multiple charts that are drawn on top of each other. We will start by creating specifications for the individual layers and eventually combine them in a single layer
spec.
The first chart is a line chart that shows the stock price of different stocks over time.
The second chart shows the mean price of individual stocks with a rule mark. The rule
mark is a special mark that can span the whole width/height of a single view specification.
To layer these two charts on top of each other, we have to put the two specifications in the same layer array. Note that we can leave data
at the top level as both layers use the same data.
See the example gallery for more layering examples.
Combined Scales and Guides¶
When you have different scales in different layers, the scale domains are unioned so that all layers can use the same scale. In the example above, Vega-Lite automatically uses a common y-axis and color legend. We can disable this by setting the resolve
property.
The default resolutions for layer are shared scales, axes, and legends.
In the chart below, we set the y-scales of the different layers to be independent with "resolve": {"scale": {"y": "independent"}}
.


Findings
As the graph shows the number of papers increase in an important way from 2012, one year after the pubblication of the book “The Filter Bubble”. As we can see, papers not only increase in number but also change in position, going from a pro-neutral one to a contrarious-neutral. Particular attention needs the society typology which has a lot of papers in these latest years in opposition to the the oldest years, showing how the debate about the effects of the web personalization on the society is becoming more and more important.
In the first finding we use an alluvial graph to show the continent more involved in the debate and their respective position and the position of the different typology of papers. As wexpected, America has the higher number of paper, followed by Europe, where there is the higher percentage of paper that see some issues involved in the web personalization. On the other side of the graph it’s shown how almost half of the research papers are neutral.
Particular attention must be given to the research and case study papers, where the biggest part is contrarious. This is an important data since these papers have made several experiment about the topic and they tested the real situation different times.
In this graph we can see the different partition of the opinion for every typology. As we can see the first thing to notice is that in privacy the pro position is totally gone, no paper talks about web personalization in a positive way about the privacy. Another interesting fact is that in society and information the contrarious are more than the neutral.
To better understand where the academic debate is leaning, we decided to try to expand the number of analyzed papers. We started from the one that we considered in the last section and we decided to try to map them by starting from the one with a much more defined position in the debate.
The highlighted dots define the papers with most explicit position about our research question, while all the grey dots are all the rest of the papers, connected in relation of how many times they cite themselves. It is possible to see where all these papers are positioned in the debate, like for example we see that there are much more papers in the middle-moderate area.
This chart has been realized with a overall corpus of 3028 papers, obtained from the 63 papers that we initially analyzed from the queries. We created an excel file with two columns, source and target. In the first one we pasted every one of the 63 papers as many times as they were cited on Scholar of Scopus, and in the second column we pasted the citing documents. Once completed this file we opened it in Gephi and we locked on four different positions on the opposite sides the paper with the most radical and moderated opinion about the web personalization. We paid attention to balance their respective weight (in term of connection) in order to avoid mistakes in the forces involved. Then we decided to clear all the nodes that had just one connection with another node (1 degree), rank their dimensions in relation to their degree range and finally let Gephi map all the remaining nodes.
It’s evident that the great number of papers is collocated in the moderated area of the chart, lightly leaning to the PRO section. This is probably due to the fact that there are many papers which belong to the much more technological/neutral category.

We understand that the needs of healthcare differ from other types of enterprise, and have built NHSbuntu accordingly. We know that the NHS delivers healthcare in an unique way, which is why we've set up NHSbuntu to fit the NHS, rather than fitting the NHS round the software. We'll always be more bothered with productivity than billing over here.
Medicine, as a profession, has always understood the need to share information and learning so that the next generation of medicine advances from this one. We believe that this should include the software that we use to deliver medical care. Open source software is a way to share and build on the best, and provide every NHS institution with the right software to enable them to focus on care.

OBITUARY: Brendan Duffy had a great love for outdoor life
Brendan Duffy Jnr, 1976 - 2019
Brendan Duffy junior who died suddenly at his residence on August 30 was a kind, hard-working and generous individual who enjoyed the company of his family and friends.
He was the second youngest of five children of Mary and Brendan Duffy and was born and reared in 35 O’Hanlon Park, where he continued to live in the family home.
He was well-liked and respected by neighbours, who Brendan enjoyed chatting to on a daily basis.
His school days were spent between the nearby De La Salle primary and Dundalk Vocational College.
He had many happy childhood memories of his mother’s home place of Stephenstown, Knockbridge, and retained his affinity for it by visiting the area regularly. The local pond at Stephenstown occupied a favourite spot in his heart and he enjoyed many a walk there.
He loved visiting his relatives and catching up on all the news.
Brendan had great faith in Saint Brigid and found comfort visiting her shrine in Faughart.
During his leisure time he enjoyed socialising and having the craic with his friends.
He was a Liverpool and Celtic fan and showed his support by making occasional trips to Anfield and Glasgow to watch them play.
He loved to travel, taking in both the scenic routes of Ireland and city breaks to the likes of London, Prague and Amsterdam.
His working career spanned the local firms of Footcraft and the former AFL Ireland (Sim Stribel) car component plant on the Finnabair Industrial Estate, with his longest spell employed in Heinz (Authentic Foods) factory, also located on the Finnabair Estate.
He was 16 years in Heinz until the closure of the factory last October.
He made great friends and developed a close relationship with his work colleagues and the many who called to his home over the course of his wake fondly recalled happy memories of his time in the factory.
Friends and work colleagues referred to him as Benny, while at home he was known as Bobo, a name that was given to him at an early age by his younger sister that stayed with him throughout his life.
He was renowned for his infectious laugh that will be missed by his friends and loved ones.
Brendan had a great love of the outdoors, with walking and hiking his favourite pastimes.
He regularly walked Annaverna mountains, along with Slieve Donard in Newcastle, County Down and trekked over Croagh Patrick, Westport, County Mayo.
He took great pride in his home and garden where his personality shone through with his tasteful choice of décor and colourful display of flowers and shrubs.
Music was a great love of his, especially the folk and traditional music of the Dubliners and The Furey Brothers.
One of his favourite Furey Brothers’ songs “Dreaming my Dream” was fittingly played at his graveside.
He reposed at the family residence in O’Hanlon Park on the Tuesday and Wednesday.
The stream of sympathisers bore glowing testimony to the regard with which Brendan was held.
He was removed on the Thursday to Saint Nicholas' Church, where Father Maciej Zacharek CC celebrated Requiem Mass and delivered the eulogy.
Symbols of Brendan’s life were laid before the altar by Cailam and Jack Duffy, Keith Gore, Lisa McGuirk and Karlene Dullaghan.
These included a picture of Stephenstown pond, hiking stick, gardening trowel, a CD and Liverpool FC top.
The Prayers of the Faithful were led by Aaron and Jamie Duffy, Laurence McGuirk, Martina Dixon, Rory Kelly and Emma Begley.
The Readings were given by Martina and Jack Duffy.
Colm Marry provided a touching reflection and Paudie Breen the beautiful music and singing.
Brendan was laid to rest in Saint Mary’s cemetery Knockbridge, where among the attendance were Father Gerard Campbell PP and Father Padraig Murphy of Ravensdale.
He will be sadly missed by his heartbroken parents, Mary and Brendan, brother, Damien, sisters, Martina, Áine and Jolene, sister-in-law, Christina, aunt, Phyllis, nephews, niece, cousins, extended family, neighbours and friends.

After struggling with dry lips for years, I thought it was time to finally invest in a lip scrub. Grab a small bowl and begin mixing together the coconut oil and sugar. Squeeze in all the juice from half a lime. Tear up 2-3 mint leaves and then sprinkle in. Keep adding sugar until the mix becomes more like a paste/solid versus a liquid (it should stick to the spoon). Finally, grab a little container, fill it up and store it in the fridge for whenever you need a cool treat!
The sugar acts as an exfoliant and contains glycolic acid and alpha hydroxy acids – both anti-aging agents that keep skin looking fresh and youthful. The coconut oil is a natural anti-bacterial cleanser, and moisturizer. The lime juice also acts as an exfoliate to remove dead skin. It’s also has antioxidant, disinfectant and antibiotic properties.
Use your fingers to cover your lips in the scrub.  Repeat as needed until lips are completely smooth. When you’re all done exfoliating, apply a coat of lip balm for lasting smooth lips!

Plugin Information |
|---|
No information for the plugin 'sfee' is available. It may have been removed from distribution. |
Authenticate users and publish build artifacts relying on a Collabnet Source Forge Enterprise Edition (SFEE) server.
What is this?
This plugin extends Hudson in order to integrate with a SFEE (Collabnet Source Forge Enterprise Edition) server.
This integration allows you to use SFEE database to perform user authentication, and to publish build artifacts to a SFEE project's release folder
Supported SFEE is 4.3 onwards.
This plugin requires description setter plugin to be installed too.
Configuring SFEE server
In the Configure System section of your Hudson server, insert informations related to the SFEE server. Remember that username inerted will be used to perform artifacts publishing and SFEE queries.
SFEE host name should be specified without the http/s prefix (eg, sfee.open.collab.net)
Configuring user access control and authorizations
If you want, you can configure the plugin in order to validate the username/password against the SFEE database. It is also possible (using a matrix based authorization strategy) to specify which users/roles are allowed to publish build artifacts to SFEE server. (The "CollabNet Authorization" strategy in section "Authorization" will only be available as soon as SFEE server 5.2 is released - so the user permission matrix is left to the Hudson features for matrix based autorization strategy).
In oder to enable these features, Hudson security should be activated. The "enable security" in off when installing Hudson for the first time.
Activating Job Publishing
In order to perform a Job publishing, you have to configure the Job properties and select the associated SFEE Project, Release Package, the rules related to automatic build publishing and release name.
In order to do this, open Hudson Job configuration page.
The release name can be either specified as fixed name (eg MyFirstRelease in the Release Name field) or extracted from the build log via the regular expression specified in the Release Name regexp field.
In this latter case, the Release Name field will be used to specify the selection group of the regular expression.
In the example below, if in the build log appears a line like SFEE Revision: MYPROJECT-0.1, the release name will be MYPROJECT-0.1
Publish a build
When a build ends successfully, it is possible to publish the build logs and the artifacts to the SFEE server (if Upload automatically after build checkbox is not selected).
Just choose the build you want to publish from the Build History Widget and click on SourceForge action link.
As default, all artifacts but the build log will be uploaded. This rule also applies when the automatic upload is activated.
After a build has been succesfully published, accessing a build history item will show SFEE release infos

In a recent post I wrote about the 'Simple' Git Merge Strategy that I've been using on my recent projects.
This post will look at how to resolve the issue of rebasing on master
when your feature branch was started from another feature branch which has since been rebased and merged.
Background
For this post we will assume the following branches: master
, feature1
, and feature2
. We will assume that feature1
is a work in progress, however, it contains changes we need to build off of for feature2
.
We will also be using the strategy of rebasing on master
and squashing commits before merging.
Setting the stage
Our git repo contains just one file, file.txt
, which on master
looks like:
content
In our feature1
branch we have made two commits, B and C, which result in the following state:
content
edit1
edit2
We also have another branch, feature2
, which is based on feature1
and has one commit, D, to add another edit. The final file.txt
looks like:
content
edit1
edit2
edit3
This results in the following git history:
A
o master
\
B C
o---o feature1
\
D
o feature2
Merging feature1
Let's say that we are now ready to merge in our feature1
branch, but first we will squash our two commits into one. Once we've squashed, we'll merge into master
. Also, as a matter of clean up, we'll delete our feature1
branch as we don't need it any more.
git checkout feature1
git rebase -i HEAD~2
git checkout master
git merge --no--ff feature1
git branch -d feature1
The resulting git history will look like this:
A E
o---o master
\
B C D
o---o---o feature2
As we can see, it now looks like our feature2
branch has three commits different from master
. Additionally, our master branch has now moved on.
Rebasing feature2
What we'd like to do at this point is rebase our feature2
on master
and end up with only one commit, D, in our branch, which is our unique change. Our desired history would look like:
A E
o---o master
\
D
o feature2
Normally to achieve this we would just git rebase master
, however, since the history for feature1
was rewritten we'll get merge conflicts.
Instead, we can use the --onto option for our rebase. Using --onto
we can specify our <newbase>
, master
, and the <upstream>
to compare against for the rebase.
git rebase --onto <newbase> <upstream>
When doing a default rebase the <upstream>
will be the first commit where the branch diverged from the base branch, master
. In our case that would be the first commit from the old feature1
branch, or, B.
What we want to do is tell git to ignore the two commits from feature1
, B and C, and only rebase our commit, D, onto master
. To do this, we pass the SHA for D as the <upstream>
option like this:
git checkout feature2
git rebase --onto master HEAD~1
In addition to HEAD~1
, we could have passed an actual SHA 6f74799
or any other way of referencing the commit we wanted to start from.
I will note that the commit you specify in the <upstream>
option will be included in the rebase. This is different from how an interactive rebase works.
Notes
This way of rebasing expects that you can determine where feature1
's history ends and feature2
's history begins. If that is not possible then you might want to consider strategies for labeling the first commit of your branch, or not deleting merged branches right away.
This post builds on the "hard case" of recovering from an upstream rebase which you can read about in the docs for git rebase.


Shenmue 3 Video Shows How the Long-Awaited Sequel Stayed True to Originals
by Jason GuisaoIt's been almost 20 years since the last Shenmue video game. After years of radio silence, a sudden Kickstarter initiative and snippets of action-packed gameplay -- as well as beautifully rendered locales -- Shenmue 3 has finally launched worldwide today.
In addition to the game's release, publisher Deep Silver uploaded a lengthy YouTube video detailing the studio's extensive development process.
The video includes appearances from prominent YouTubers, former SEGA executives and development studio members that have been working on the series since its revolutionary beginnings back in the 1990s. But Shenmue 3 is still very much in-tune with its roots. At its core, the game is still focused on realism, top-notch martial arts combat and revenge.
Protagonist Ryo Hazuki journeys to the Chinese mountains of Guilin, hot on the trail of his father's killer, Lan Di. While there, he meets and earns the trust of a new companion, Ling Shenhua. Together they confront their destinies and vow to defeat Lan Di and his cohorts.
Shenmue 3 is published by Deep Silver and developed by Neilo and YS Net. Franchise veterans Yu Suzuki and Keiji Okayasu co-directed the game. Shenmue 3 is available now on PC and PlayStation 4.

Pokémon Sword and Shield – How to evolve Yamask into Runegirus
by Darryn BonthuysAnother day, another Pokémon article! While Pokémon Sword and Shield may have plenty of new Pokémon who can be levelled up and evolved from there, some Pokémon require a more secretive manner with which to ascend to a higher form. One of those Pokémon is Yamask, a peculiar Ghost-type pocket monster that has a new regional form over in the lands of Galar.
Instead of a mask, this version of Yamask carries with it a strange chunk of stone, one that has seemingly been possessed by evil spirits. It can evolve from there, into Cofafrigus at Level 34 or its new Galar form Runegirus once certain requirements have been met.
Where to find Yamask
You’ll find plenty of the little ghosts hovering around on Route 6, so go wild and catch one who you think will grow into a beast of a spectre.
How to evolve Yamask into Runegirus
For Yamask to evolve, the requirement is simple: You need to make certain it has at least 49 of its health points knocked off, but it must not be knocked out. Maths tell us that 49 is what happens when you multiply seven by seven, so hi Llew! If you’re looking for an easy way to shave those health points off, throw your Yamask at the Sudowoodo outside of Hammerlocke City on Route 5. At the mid-20s, Yamask is strong enough to take several Rock Throw and Rock Tomb attacks without being one-shotted into oblivion, while its own attacks aren’t that effective on Sudowoodo either.
It’ll take you about five minutes, but you’ll be ready to move on to the next step. In the Wild Area outside of Hammerlocke, head to this point in the Dusty Bowl.
Run or ride underneath that stone archway and hey presto! Yamask will evolve right away for you into Runegirus. Easy! You’ve now got a spankin’ new Ghost and Ground-Type Pokemon to add to your collection.

This plot depicts the median expression of the selected gene across tissues (brain regions) in the dataset, as measured by RNA-seq read counts per million (CPM) reads. Meaningful expression is considered to be anything greater than 5 CPM.
After selecting a tissue and statistical model, you will be able to see whether the selected gene is differentially expressed between AD cases and controls The box plot depicts how the differential expression of the selected gene of interest (red dot) compares with expression of other genes in the tissue. Summary statistics can be viewed by hovering over the red dot.
This forest plot indicates the estimate of the log fold change with standard errors across the tissues in the chosen model. Genes that show consistent patterns of differential expression will have similar log-fold change value across tissues.

Ref Step calibration software.
The software allows for an automatic use of the ref-step algorithm for the calibration of a voltage source or meter. During the calibration, instructions are read from a table and sent to the instruments over a GPIB cable. live data is presented in a graph, and results are continuously saved into the same table as the instructions came from. Results can be analysed using the same program, and final linearity ratios are printed onto the data table.
To work, the program needs to know how to communicate with the various instruments connected to it. For this it requires a dictionary file to be provided, specifying necessary commands, such as the command for resetting the instrument. In principal, the commands can be anything, as long as they pass the safety checks of the program. The program may be given a customised set of voltages to calibrate with, or it will generate the necessary calibrations based on the instruments’ ranges that need to be specified in the dictionary file.
Connect the low of both sources together. The high of source S connects to the low on the meter, and the high on source X connects to the high on the meter.
The virtual instrument or user interface (UI) consists of three panels; a control panel, a panel for tables, and the graph panel.
1. The control area has two tabs, ‘Control’ used to control the algorithm, and ‘instruments’ which is used for testing the instruments and specifying which instruments to connect to over the GPIB. Here the GPIB address needs to be assigned to each instrument.
2. The tables window has two tabs, one showing the control settings of the algorithm, and another showing the dictionaries that will be used to communicate with the instruments.
3. The graph window gives a visual of the current data set being measured, and comes with the Matplotlib control bar. The graph windows in on the last 50 data points by default, but manual window parameters can be chosen.
In the instruments tab of the program, you will need to specify the GPIB address for each of the three instruments. The GPIB address is the address assigned to the instrument over the GPIB interface(?). The ‘Refresh instruments’ button on the top will refresh the addresses and present all currently recognised instrument addresses. You may test your instruments using the send and read buttons below. First select an instrument, write the command in the command box and click the send button. The read button will read whatever is on the buffer of the instrument. To query an instrument for its status, first send the query command, then press read. This works because a query is essentially a send followed by an immediate read.
An example dictionary file is presented below, some commands are needed for both meters and sources, while others are specific only to one instrument type. The dictionary file needs to be loaded from the control tab, where an excel workbook is selected. The sheet containing the dictionary must be named ‘Dict’. The load function will ignore all other sheets except ‘Control’ which it will take as the control settings, this can be used to upload a control file if a custom one is needed.
|
Key word |
Example |
Description |
|
label |
HP3458A-230 |
The label to be printed in log files and on results table, this should be something that you can use to easily work out which instrument was used in the calibration. |
|
NoError |
0\r\n |
When the instrument’s error status is queried, what is the response for no error? This is used to determine if it is safe to run the program and check if it should stop in case of malfunctions. |
|
reset |
RESET |
The reset command of your instrument |
|
Init |
END 2; DCV AUTO;NPLC 1 |
The initialisation of the instrument, in this case (HP3458A) the instrument is required to be sent an end type for its command termination, and the voltage is set to DC and automatic, in case of an unexpected large voltage input, being on auto protects the instrument. NPLC sets the integration, 1 is short so that it quickly switches ranges if need be. |
|
Make_Safe |
DCV AUTO |
Safe state for the instruments, such as setting zero volts and outputs off. |
|
Error |
ERR? |
Command to be sent to query the instrument for any errors. |
|
SettleTime |
0.5 |
After being sent a command, some instruments require time to implement it before they can be sent the next command. This is the specified time for the program to pause after a command is sent. The program will not wait this settle time when reading any instrument, it waits only after sending commands. |
|
DCVRange |
DCV $ |
The program will read through the table of settings and will send this command to the instrument in order to change its DC volt range, replacing the $ sign with the label of the range (see Ranges). |
|
MeasureSetup (Meter only) |
NPLC 20 |
Prior to a burst of measurements, this is the set of instructions to be sent to the instrument. Here the integration is increased to ensure accuracy. |
|
MsmntSetup (Meter only) |
SKIP |
Any command that needs to be sent to the instrument prior to saving a reading, like resetting the powerline measurement or turning display off if that interferes with speed. “SKIP” is a program command, when it reads “SKIP” it will bypass the sending command section altogether. Only applicable to this command. |
|
Status |
RANGE? |
Command to ask for the instrument’s status, such as output values and ranges. This will later be recorded on the table of results. |
|
operate (sources only) |
OPER |
Turning the outputs on, this will output whatever voltage has been sent in the settings. |
|
Standby (sources only) |
STBY |
Standby, turning the outputs off. |
|
SetVoltage |
OUT $V |
Voltage setting command, while keeping outputs off. |
|
Ranges |
(0,1,’1’), (0,10,’10’) |
List of ranges, each range goes in a set of round brackets. The elements are (lowest voltage, highest voltage, range label) Range label is what needs to be sent to the instrument in DCVRange to set this range. |
NOTE: If quotation marks need to be sent to the instruments, they must be replaced with: \”. A slash and a DOUBLE quotation mark. If it is incorrectly entered, the program will run into an error.
Termination characters must be added to the end of each command, both in the testing environment and in the dictionary unless they are the standard EOL commands. The dictionary file must have a column for the sequence of used key words (ones not in use can simply be excluded) followed by the column of commands for the instrument. This gives a total of six columns, two for each instrument. And the order for the instruments must be: meter, followed by source S and then source X. An example dictionary file is provided, named “sample.xls”.
Range tables are used to generate the control table. The range table specifies the lowest and highest points to be calibrated. It is possible that the instruments will not all be able to cover the specified range (eg some instruments cant output 0V on their 1000V range) and this is handled in the program.
Also specified in the range table:
· The number of readings per point on the build up, those are averaged and their standard deviation used in analysis.
· Pre-reading delay is the delay to take before beginning this particular range, for example in order to let instruments warm up.
· Inter reading delay: If a delay is needed between each point on this range in the build up, for example some instruments take longer to reach stability after being set to their high ranges.
· # repetitions: number of times to repeat this buildup (both positive and negative).
· # steps: How many steps can this range be split into, recommended is 10.
The control table can be created based on the instrument ranges provided. To do this, press the ‘Generate table’ button in the ‘Control’ tab. This can only be done once the dictionary was uploaded, since it contains the dictionary files. The control table will contain instructions that are sent to the instruments line by line, and readings are printed back to the table too.
Instruments not being calibrated will be set to their minimum range that encompasses all possible values that they will take, for example if for a certain sequence the meter will read a maximum of 10 volts, it is set to the 12 volts range throughout the sequence. Note that there is a tolerance of 0.5% taken, so if the maximum voltage is supposed to be set is 10v, the meter is set to a range that encompasses 10.05v.
The control table has fixed columns for the ranges of each instrument and the setting, and has columns for the status of each instrument. At the top of the table in row 4 are the instruments used. These titles are extracted from the dictionary files’ labels. In row 5 are the start and end points of the sequence, these can be edited before running the program for testing purposes. Both start and finish points must be specified. Once the program is started, editing these will not make a difference.
Results are saved in a column to the right, they consist of the mean of however many measurements were specified, and a standard deviation.
Warning flags are printed on the far-left column, warnings include a warning if a reading exceeds 0.1% of the range from the nominal readings and any errors that the instruments have unless they are the no-error response (specified in the dictionary).
Files can be loaded into the program using the ‘File>Open dictionary’ button. The tables loaded must be of the same structure as those created by the program, so it is recommended to upload tables that were created by the program in the first place. For this purpose you can also save a table once it is created ‘File>Save tables’. The table must be an excel .xls workbook, and must include one sheet named ‘Dict’ for the dictionary of the instruments. Other sheets are loaded if they are called ‘Control’ (this becomes the control table) and ‘Ranges’, the specified ranges for the instruments.
Once data is collected, the ‘Analyse data’ button will load the raw file specified in the analysis file name (program automatically fills it in once it finishes a run).
The file is sent to the analysis object, which does the following:
· Reads and saves the entire file into arrays of its own
· Identifies start and finish points of each sequence, by identifying the mid points. So, sequences are not restricted to 10 steps and not all sequences must have the same number of steps.
· Computes linearity and gain ratios for the ascending and descending sections for both the meter and the source X, using the same data, for each segment of data.
Table 1Sample results table, m stands for meter, x for source x. Each instrument has two ratios, one for ascending one for decending.

Final ratios are printed to the same excel file, on a new sheet. The linearity ratio is the ratio of the top of the range to the bottom of the range, for example 10v to 1v both in the same range. Gain ratio is the ratio between the top of one range to the top of another, with the previous example that would be 10v on one range to 1v on the range below.
A log file containing all communications between the program and the instruments is saved. This provides a way of checking what the program did and where it went wrong if it did.
Raw data files are also produced, containing everything in the control table as well as a list of the actual individual readings taken in each row. The raw data is used by the analysis tool, not the table. So an old set of data can be analysed again.
These files are automatically created and saved by the program, which names them with a time stamp of the time the algorithm started.
Once done with a table, it can be saved using the ‘Output File’ button, if it were edited at all. It will be saved under the name specified or given a time stamp. All rows and columns above the instruments row (3) can be used to record info about the measurements. If info is written in there it will be shown again in the results and raw data files, which will help with tracking calibrations.
Once a table is loaded and instruments are correctly connected, the ‘start’ button will set the program running. The stop button simply stops the program where it is, and if the start button is pressed again it will start over. It is not recommended to start a sequence part way through. ‘Make safe’ will send all instruments the command specified for making them safe to approach. This, and all other commands, should not be relied on as they are based off the dictionary given, and can be faulty. The program considers the situation safe if it successfully sent the user-specified make safe command string but it cannot guarantee that the situation is indeed safe.
If the program encounters a reading that is more than 5% of its range from the nominal reading it will attempt to make safe, and abort.
If it is unable to communicate with the instruments, it will also consider the situation dangerous and attempt to make safe and abort.
If the program did not successfully send the make safe commands, the make safe button turns red and it aborts with a message saying with which instrument it failed to communicate.
The graph in the graph panel can be used to get a visual of the data in real time, if results are critically out of line and do not follow the ref step pattern this will be easily visible. If a data point has an unexpectedly large standard deviation, the graph can be paused in order to zoom in on the section in question (the graph tool bar is below the graph). The raw logs can also be used to determine if this was an accidental surge in voltage, or if perhaps the settling time needs to be increased if data points are clearly drifting. The table (and therefore logs) will contain warnings when a measurement set has exceeded 0.1% of the range from the nominal reading. If a voltage reading exceeds 5% of the range from the nominal reading, the program deems this unsafe and attempts to run the make safe routine prior to aborting.

Finally, Java can switch on Strings! No more inefficient strings of if/else chains or Hash lookups or translation into Enums. Finally just clean readable and intuitive code.
switch(suit) {
case "club":
case "diamond":
trickValue = 20;
break;
case "heart":
case "spade":
trickValue = 30;
break;
case "no-trump":
trickValue = 40;
break;
}
It's actually just syntactic sugar. The java compiler renders this all down to int switching by pre-computing the .hashcode()
of all of the labels since they have to be constants anyway (unlike languages like PHP where you can do some really neat shenanigans). Because this still renders down to primitives, Java still gets the jump table optimizations that were the whole motivation of the switch construct in the first place.
If you use Eclipse, switching on a String will still probably give you an error. It wasn't until September 2011's release (3.7.1) that this was implemented. There were versions of Indigo that didn't support this, so you'll need the latest one.

O’Donnell, F.C., Caylor, K.K., Bhattachan, A., Dintwe, K., D’Odorico, P., and Okin, G.S. (2015) A quantitative description of the interspecies diversity of belowground structure in savanna woody plants. Ecosphere 6(9):154. http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/ES14-00310.1
The relative importance of resource competition and disturbance in limiting woody cover is one of the most basic questions in savanna ecology. Modeling approaches that seek to address this question are limited in their ability to accurately represent resource competition, which occurs belowground, by the limited detail of existing data on root system structure. Using compressed air, we excavated individual trees and shrubs and mapped their coarse roots on a three-dimensional grid system up to 1.5 m depth. We excavated four woody savanna species at three sites spanning a climate gradient on the Kalahari Transect in southern Africa and determined functions to describe the distribution of root biomass within the root systems. Overall, most of the variation in both large-scale and small-scale characteristics of root system structure was related to species. The species excavated fell into two groups that coexisted across the climate gradient. Acacia mellifera and Terminalia sericea had straight roots in a laterally extensive system that was shallow relative to the aggregate root profile for woody plants at the sites. Boscia albitrunca and Ochna pulchra had sinuous roots that were mostly concentrated beneath the canopy and were more prevalent in deep than near-surface soil layers, departing from the conventional model of decreasing root abundance with depth. Based on our results, we suggest a reframing of the theoretical characterization of the root zone used in modeling approaches to consider diversity within the woody plant community.

--- layout: post esbma_id: 3023 title: Fine-grained permissions in Zumero date: 2013-03-18 10:00:00 ---
All right, which one of you people added John C. Dvorak to my list of RSS feeds?
eric$ ./sqlite3 SQLite version <IP_ADDRESS> 2013-01-09 11:53:05 Enter ".help" for instructions Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";" sqlite> SELECT zumero_sync( 'main', 'https://zinst393e9343b87.s.zumero.net', 'all_feeds' ); 0;0;0;3584;0;476;213;217 sqlite> SELECT * FROM feeds; 2|https://ericsink.com/rss.xml 1|http://feeds.hanselman.com/ScottHanselman 3|http://rssnewsapps.ziffdavis.com/PCMAG_dvorak.xml
Yes, I left the permissions wide open, specifically so that you could add to the list.
But... Dvorak?
Really?
In part 1, I got started with a single 'feeds' table that contained nothing but the URL. Now I want to add a place to store the title of the feed, and a place to remember the last time I retrieved the XML.
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS about USING zumero( feedid INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL REFERENCES feeds (feedid), title TEXT NOT NULL ); CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS last_update USING zumero( feedid INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL REFERENCES feeds (feedid), when_unix_time INTEGER NOT NULL );
Note that unlike the feeds table, these two tables are protected from changes by unauthenticated users. Let's take a closer look at the SQL statements from part 1 where I configured the Access Control List (ACL).
First, I use a convenience function to create the ACL table itself, which, by convention, is named "z_acl".
SELECT zumero_define_acl_table('main');
Then it is time to insert several ACL entries, each of which is just a row in the z_acl table. Here is the first one:
INSERT INTO z_acl (scheme,who,tbl,op,result) VALUES ( '', zumero_named_constant('acl_who_anyone'), '', '*', zumero_named_constant('acl_result_deny') );
This entry establishes a default. Basically it says, "don't let anybody do anything".
The 'who' column specifies which users this will match at permission-checking time. An entry that specifies 'anyone' will match, well, anyone at all, whether they are authenticated or not.
The meaning of the 'scheme' column depends on the value of the 'who' column. In this case, 'scheme' is not needed, so it is an empty string.
The 'tbl' column is also not used in this entry, so it is an empty string as well.
The 'op' column specifies which operations this will match at permission-checking time. The asterisk here is interpreted as a wildcard.
Finally, the 'result' column is used to provide a result for the permission-check when this entry has matched, which it always will.
When checking for permissions, entries are checked in order from most-specific to least-specific. The ACL entry above will always match, but if something else matches first, it will not apply. The following entries are the exceptions, the cases where we want to actually allow something.
The following entry says, "people who are members of the admin group are allowed to do anything they want":
INSERT INTO z_acl (scheme,who,tbl,op,result) VALUES ( zumero_internal_auth_scheme('zumero_users_admin'), zumero_named_constant('acl_who_any_authenticated_user'), '', '*', zumero_named_constant('acl_result_allow') );
For many situations, I would just stop here and add no further entries to the ACL. Only the admins can do anything.
But in this situation, I specifically wanted to allow unauthenticated users to have a couple of permissions. This one allows 'read' access ('pull') to the entire dbfile:
INSERT INTO z_acl (scheme,who,tbl,op,result) VALUES ( '', zumero_named_constant('acl_who_anyone'), '', zumero_named_constant('acl_op_pull'), zumero_named_constant('acl_result_allow') );
And the following ACL entry is the one that isn't looking so wise in the hindsight of the moment:
INSERT INTO z_acl (scheme,who,tbl,op,result) VALUES ( '', zumero_named_constant('acl_who_anyone'), 'feeds', zumero_named_constant('acl_op_tbl_add_row'), zumero_named_constant('acl_result_allow') );
Note the value for the 'tbl' column in this final ACL entry. I've granted 'add_row' permission to 'anyone', but only for the 'feeds' table. This is why the two new tables I just created will remain safe from changes by non-admin users.
These permissions are enforced at the server not on the client. When performing operations on the local copy of the SQLite database, you can do anything you want. But when you sync, if you are attempting to push changes which include operations beyond your permissions, your push will fail with "zumero:permission_denied".
Stay tuned for part 3.
