Overview
Provides an implemenation of a UI wizard built on jQuery and Bootstrap. It takes care of the plumbing for moving back and forth between steps, validation, hooks for key events, etc.
Dependencies
The project was built on the following. It does nothing fancy and will probably work with all future versions:
- jQuery 2.2.4
- Bootstrap 3.3.6
Setup
The use bootstrap-wizard in your project, include the following:
- wizard.css
- wizard.min.js
Markup
The wizard depends on structured HTML to define the wizard and the steps for it. The order of the steps presented is defined by the order of the divs within the wizard. The wizard itself is defined by the wizard class and each step is defined by the wizard-step class.
Options
Automatic initialization based on css class is not supported. Chances are that every wizard will need to supply some initialization options. To initialize a wizard, use JavaScript passing the options. The following are the default options:
| Name | Default | Description |
| title | Empty | Displayed as the title of the wizard. This title can be overridden by step titles if the step has the data-title attribute. |
| validators | null | An array of objects used to validate steps. Each object is {step:1, validation: function(){}}. See Custom Validation. |
| onSubmit | null | A function called when the Submit button is clicked |
| onReset | null | A function called when the wizard is closed or completed. The purpose of this event is to reset all elements in the wizard. |
| onCancel | null | A function called when the wizard is canceled. This happens when the Cancel button is clicked, the "X" button in the header is clicked or the Escape key is pressed. |
| onClose | null | A function called when the wizard is closed |
| onOpen | null | A function called when the wizard is opened |
| previousText | << Back | The text of the Previous button |
| nextText | Next >> | The text of the Next button |
| submitText | Submit | The text of the Submit button |
| cancelText | Cancel | The text of the Cancel button |
| showCancel | true | A boolean controlling if the Cancel button is shown. If true, the Cancel button will be displayed, the "X" button will be in the title and the Escape key will cancel the wizard. |
| showPrevious | true | A boolean controlling if the Previous button is shown |
| showProgress | false | A boolean controlling if a progress bar is shown. If the wizard contains numerous steps, it may be friendly to display a progress bar to the user. This uses the bootstrap progress bar. |
| isModal | true | A boolean controlling if the wizard is presented as a bootstrap dialog. If false then the wizard will be presented precisely where it lives in the DOM. |
| autoOpen | false | A boolean controlling if the wizard is automatically opened when it is initialized. Typically this is only true when isModal is false. |
Methods
The wizard is implemented as a jQuery plugin, so methods are called as such:
The following methods are available for a wizard instance:
| Name | Arguments | Description |
| open | n/a | Opens the wizard on step one. This raises the onOpen event. |
| close | n/a | Closes the wizard. This raises the onReset, onClose events. |
| info | text | Displays the text with an alert-info css class |
| warning | text | Displays the text with an alert-warning css class |
| submit | n/a | Initates the submit sequence as if the last step is completed and there are no validation errors. |
| success | text | Displays the text with an alert-success css class |
| error | text | Displays the text with an alert-danger css class |
| end | options | This method is meant to be called at the end of the onSubmit event. The options is an object: {info:'', warning:'', success:'', error:'', autoClose:true/false/integer} The info/warning/success/error will control the messages displayed. The autoClose controls if the wizard is automatically closed. If false, it is not closed. If true, it is closed after two seconds. If an integer is specified, it will close after that number of milliseconds. |
Validation
Each step of a wizard can be validated before moving onto the next step. There are two mechanisms for validation:
- Form validation
- Custom validation
Form Validation
If the step contains a form element, the wizard will attempt to validate it. There are numerous plugins out there for form validation. The wizard is not dependent on any specific implementation. It will attempt to call a valid method and a validate method on the form object if they exist. If either method exists and returns false, the wizard will not advance to the next step. The wizard assumes the validation implementation takes care of updating the UI with errors.
Custom Validation
You can supply your own custom validation through the validators option. This takes an array of objects. The first property (step) is a 1-based index of the step it belongs to. The second property (validate) is a function that will be called when Next is clicked on that step. If it is the last step, it will be called when Submit is clicked.
The wizard looks for a return value of false from the validate function. Any other value is assumed to mean success and the wizard will move onto the next step. If the wizard receives false, it will remain on the current step. The custom validator is responsible to provide feedback to the user if there are validation errors. In the example below, the validator is writing the error to the wizard UI via the error method.
Examples
Simple shows the basic setup
Events shows all event hooks
No Modal shows the wizard without using modal dialogs

Multi-object trackers in Python
Easy to use implementation of various multi-object tracking algorithms.
Available Multi Object Trackers
CentroidTracker
IOUTracker
CentroidKF_Tracker
SORT
Available OpenCV-based object detectors:
detector.TF_SSDMobileNetV2
detector.Caffe_SSDMobileNet
detector.YOLOv3
Installation
Pip install for OpenCV (version 3.4.3 or later) is available here and can be done with the following command:
pip install motrackers
Additionally, you can install the package through GitHub instead:
git clone https://github.com/adipandas/multi-object-tracker
cd multi-object-tracker
pip install [-e] .
Note - for using neural network models with GPU
For using the opencv dnn
-based object detection modules provided in this repository with GPU, you may have to compile a CUDA enabled version of OpenCV from source.
How to use?: Examples
The interface for each tracker is simple and similar. Please refer the example template below.
from motrackers import CentroidTracker # or IOUTracker, CentroidKF_Tracker, SORT
input_data = ...
detector = ...
tracker = CentroidTracker(...) # or IOUTracker(...), CentroidKF_Tracker(...), SORT(...)
while True:
done, image = <read(input_data)>
if done:
break
detection_bboxes, detection_confidences, detection_class_ids = detector.detect(image)
# NOTE:
# * `detection_bboxes` are numpy.ndarray of shape (n, 4) with each row containing (bb_left, bb_top, bb_width, bb_height)
# * `detection_confidences` are numpy.ndarray of shape (n,);
# * `detection_class_ids` are numpy.ndarray of shape (n,).
output_tracks = tracker.update(detection_bboxes, detection_confidences, detection_class_ids)
# `output_tracks` is a list with each element containing tuple of
# (<frame>, <id>, <bb_left>, <bb_top>, <bb_width>, <bb_height>, <conf>, <x>, <y>, <z>)
for track in output_tracks:
frame, id, bb_left, bb_top, bb_width, bb_height, confidence, x, y, z = track
assert len(track) == 10
print(track)
Please refer examples folder of this repository for more details. You can clone and run the examples.
Pretrained object detection models
You will have to download the pretrained weights for the neural-network models. The shell scripts for downloading these are provided here below respective folders. Please refer DOWNLOAD_WEIGHTS.md for more details.
Notes
There are some variations in implementations as compared to what appeared in papers of
SORT
andIoU Tracker
.In case you find any bugs in the algorithm, I will be happy to accept your pull request or you can create an issue to point it out.

Backface culling helped remove a large number of faces we didn't want to draw, but it didn't handle faces that are blocked from the camera by other faces. Our approach is as follows:
This means keeping track of depth information within a separate 2d array the same size as our image. This array is called a z-buffer. At any point in our triangle-drawing process, we want zbuff[i][j]
to keep track of the depth of the closest pixel that was drawn at location (i,j) on the canvas. Then when we go to draw to location (i,j) again for another triangle, we check zbuff[i][j]
to see if we are drawing behind or in front of the previously drawn pixel.
The information in the z-buffer can then additionally be used to:
Z-buffers handle a lot of situations correctly, including textures with full transparency in them. A special check can be performed to see if the pixel of the texture has alpha = 0, and not write to the z-buffer in this situation. If this check is turned off, the result can look very strange, as in this example. Z-buffers do have trouble when alpha is in the middle of 0 and 1, and other solutions are necessary for accurate translucency effects.
Z-buffers also lead to z-fighting: when two meshes occupy the same space, which is considered "on top" can change from pixel to pixel or based on the camera angle due to floating point errors:
Our goal is to go through each pixel on the screen and trace it back to see if and where it intersects our triangle.
Create a function solve_pixel_t(cx,cy,w0,w1,w2)
which does the following:
cx
and cy
are meant to be canvas coordinates. Create variables x
and y
which apply the reverse convert_a_to_b
function in your projection code.
side1
which is w1-w0 and side2
which is w2-w0. Remember you can subtract two THREE.Vector3s with new THREE.Vector3().subVectors(a,b)
.
var side1 = new THREE.Vector3().subVectors(w1,w0);
var side2 = new THREE.Vector3().subVectors(w2,w0);
var m = new THREE.Matrix3().set(
x, -side1.x, -side2.x,
y, -side1.y, -side2.y,
1, -side1.z, -side2.z
);
var answer = w0.clone().applyMatrix3(new THREE.Matrix3().getInverse(m));
var t = answer.x;
var u = answer.y;
var v = answer.z;
Continue working on your solve_pixel_t(cx,cy,w0,w1,w2)
function:
if (m.determinant() == 0) {return(null);}
to the function.
return(null);
in these cases.
return(null);
in this case.
return(t);
. Note that this is the distance from the plane of our camera to our pixel, not the distance from the camera point to our pixel.
Create a function draw_persp_bunny_zbuff()
by copying your function for drawing the bunny in perspective projection, then:
var x,y;This creates a 500x500 array for storing the z-buffer in, then fills all the entries with Infinity (so any point we try to draw will show up as closer to the camera than the starting entry).
var zbuffer = [];
for (x = 0; x < 500; x++) {
zbuffer.push([]);
for (y = 0; y < 500; y++) {
zbuffer[x].push(Infinity);
}
}
var imagedata = ctx.getImageData(0,0,500,500);
and be sure to include set_rgba
in your code:
function set_rgba(imagedata,x,y,r,g,b,a) {We will be using the imageData approach from the color assignment to speed up our drawing.
var pos = y*imagedata.width+x;
imagedata.data[pos*4] = r;
imagedata.data[pos*4+1] = g;
imagedata.data[pos*4+2] = b;
imagedata.data[pos*4+3] = a;
}
HSL_to_RGB
from the color assignment.
ctx.beginPath()
)
var minx = Math.round(Math.max(0,Math.min(c0x,c1x,c2x)));Note that we set upper and lower bounds of 0 and 499, since we don't care about pixels outside of the canvas.
var maxx = Math.round(Math.min(499,Math.max(c0x,c1x,c2x)));
var miny = Math.round(Math.max(0,Math.min(c0y,c1y,c2y)));
var maxy = Math.round(Math.min(499,Math.max(c0y,c1y,c2y)));
solve_pixel_t(x,y,w0,w1,w2)
and store it in a variable t. Make sure the last three arguments are the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle after being rotated and translated, but before being projected.
zbuffer[x][y]
, the pixel we're trying to draw is blocked by a pixel in a closer triangle: don't do anything and move on to the next pixel.
set_rgba(imagedata,x,y,...HSL_to_RGB(i,1,.5),255);
where i is the index in your loop over all faces. The ...
notation expands out an array as multiple arguments to a function. Read more about it here.
zbuffer[x][y] = t
ctx.putImageData(imagedata,0,0);
.

3 Poems
Simon Kindt
in which orpheus and eurydice steal a couple bottles
(i)
a half quart of rum later
and orpheus is flat on the floor
head in her lap, all grin and spin
of world around him
eurydice (who is the world)
strokes the little mollusc
of his ear
traces the outline of his mouth
slides a finger in between his lips
and curls to stroke the palate
she thinks: how strange it is to be
a body
how strange and full of holes
(ii)
orpheus still grins and so
she presses fingers further
eyes the pulse now drumming
in the throat
wonders if there might be
a way to push herself inside
and swiftly be the boy
till boy eyes flare
as she presses
just an inch too far
and chokes him
(just enough)
(iii)
she holds her fingers up against his gaze
and watches him
thinks of how a thought
(like life)
comes swift
as swallows flying
through a window
(‘have you ever wished
that you were something other
than a boy?’
‘do you mean, like, a girl?’
‘i guess, or maybe like a bird’)
thinks how words are wind
come whistling
through
oh weep and weep for orpheus (and eurydice is dead)
(i)
orpheus says to eurydice :
when you were in the world
i should have known better
should have known about the empty space
where / the problem / always is
that a body cannot fill another body
that a lack is only ever lack
should have known that joy is taxed
and (like a little fist of pills)
is measured out
and swallowed
(ii)
it goes like this :
it is 3 AM and orpheus
(afraid to go
where she has gone)
is grateful
for the ipecac
(iii)
orpheus says to eurydice:
(my love)
you are gone
and i wake underwater
spread against the sand
and drifting silt
spine broke and rib cage
listing pieces on the floor
(my love)
there is nothing more
to me than language
rotten as monoxide
boiling in the blood
as a body rising to the light
popping as it goes
(iv)
eurydice says:
dear boy (my love)
in dreams i wish
we were a field
and horses
that we had stitched
the earth with thunder
that we might have moved
beneath the blue
dear boy (small noise
between my hands -
blue eye of my wounded love)
i think about what happened
to the sky and drift
the memory of you
to water
orpheus makes camp at styx while eurydice (a ghost / a ghost) watches him and says:
(i)
come morning and the crows
arrive like omens
you wake to the sky
and drift to being
light reaches in then through
the gaps of you as shadow
the bronze of you
unfolds a little space
between the world
and what it’s not
(ii)
how strange to think
that myth will overtake us
that your name will be
the name for grief
and for little children
lost
you, small sound
i sleep inside of
little song
i hold against my tongue
little ghost
returning home
(iii)
these things i wished
for you (my love) -
blue sky to stand inside of
some kids to see it through
a field / a field / a field / a field
a breeze to take your ash

Description: Bind an event handler to the "blur" JavaScript event, or trigger that event on an element.
handler(eventObject): Function() A function to execute each time the event is triggered.
eventData: Object A map of data that will be passed to the event handler.
handler(eventObject): Function() A function to execute each time the event is triggered.
This method is a shortcut for .bind('blur', handler)
in the first two variations, and .trigger('blur')
in the third.
The blur
event is sent to an element when it loses focus. Originally, this event was only applicable to form elements, such as <input>
. In recent browsers, the domain of the event has been extended to include all element types. An element can lose focus via keyboard commands, such as the Tab key, or by mouse clicks elsewhere on the page.
For example, consider the HTML:
<form>
<input id="target" type="text" value="Field 1" />
<input type="text" value="Field 2" />
</form>
<div id="other">
Trigger the handler
</div>
The event handler can be bound to the first input field:
$('#target').blur(function() {
alert('Handler for .blur() called.');
});
Now if the first field has the focus, clicking elsewhere or tabbing away from it displays the alert:
Handler for .blur() called.
To trigger the event programmatically, apply .blur()
without an argument:
$('#other').click(function() {
$('#target').blur();
});
After this code executes, clicks on Trigger the handler will also alert the message.
The blur
event does not bubble in Internet Explorer. Therefore, scripts that rely on event delegation with the blur
event will not work consistently across browsers. As of version 1.4.2, however, jQuery works around this limitation by mapping blur
to the focusout
event in its event delegation methods, .live()
and .delegate()
.
$("p").blur();

Unfortunately this book cannot address all the preventive measures that can increase the chances of delivering a healthy baby. We recommend that pregnant women be monitored closely by their health-care provider and that they seek out educational programs and literature addressing these issues. It is proven that early prenatal care reduces death rates for both mothers and infants.
Preeclampsia can cause severe high blood pressure, which can in turn lead to seizures (eclampsia) and coma. This condition usually appears during the last four months of pregnancy or during the postpartum period.
The exact cause of preeclampsia is unknown. It begins with changes in the body’s blood pressure control mechanisms that cause the blood vessels to constrict. The high blood pressure affects the kidneys, leading to significant weight gain and swelling. As the blood pressure rises to very high levels, you may also develop swelling in the brain and liver, leading to seizures and coma. This cascade of events is usually preventable when early treatment is instituted. The condition of preeclampsia may require delivering the baby early. If you develop the symptoms of preeclampsia, contact your doctor immediately.
There are many potential causes of these symptoms. The more serious ones may put you and your unborn baby at serious health risks.
An emergency medical evaluation is needed for:This bleeding and/or cramping could be the first sign of an inevitable miscarriage, or a pregnancy that is failing. In this case, the embryo is likely to pass from the uterus (womb) through the vagina. You may have severe bleeding during a miscarriage, and surgery may be required in order to stop this bleeding.
Another life-threatening cause could be an ectopic pregnancy. In this condition the pregnancy is in your fallopian tube. A pregnancy test will come back positive. An egg fertilized in the fallopian tube normally moves to the uterus and implants in the uterine wall, where it continues to grow. But if the embryo does not make it to the uterus, it will continue to grow in the fallopian tube, and the tube may rupture. This can lead to a severe life-threatening hemorrhage into the belly. You will not see the bleeding, although you may experience symptoms such as belly pain, weakness, a rapid pulse, dizziness, and a dark bloody vaginal discharge. (Also see Tip 7 for more information about emergency internal bleeding.) Sometimes you can feel when the tube ruptures; the sharp pain you may have been experiencing suddenly diminishes.
Both of these conditions require immediate evaluation by a doctor. Vaginal bleeding and/or cramping in these circumstances are the warning signs of a potentially life-threatening condition.
Alternatively, the symptoms may result from other causes, including certain hormonal imbalances.
The life-threatening causes of bleeding during the later stages of pregnancy are related to the location of the placenta or “afterbirth.” Usually a fertilized egg situates itself inside the upper wall of the uterus. As the embryo grows, it is connected by the umbilical cord to the placenta (which is attached to the uterine wall). The placenta is like a pancake, filled with many small blood vessels growing on the inside wall of the uterus.
If part of the placenta grows on the lower wall of theuterus, over the opening of the birth canal (the cervix), it is more likely to cause painless bleeding and may hinder the fetus’ growth, as blood supply to the fetus is compromised (see Figure 15-A). With a complete placenta previa (when the placenta completely covers the opening of the cervix), a C-section delivery is needed. This is usually performed prior to the thirty-seventh week of pregnancy.
In a condition called abruptio placentae, a normally placed placenta partially separates from the uterine wall and bleeds (see Figure 15-B). This condition is usually accompanied by severe abdominal pain and/or strong uterine contractions.
In either case the baby can lose its blood supply, which deprives the baby of oxygen and nutrition, endangering its life. The mother’s life is also threatened because there is the potential of massive internal bleeding. Urgent medical evaluation and treatment are necessary.
 This condition, which occurs in about one out of 1,200 pregnancies, is caused by an abnormal egg implanting in the wall of the womb. The fetal parts (tissue) may or may not be present, but the placenta (the pancake like attachment that normally provides nourishment for the baby) grows rapidly and produces the hormones of pregnancy. Fingerlike projections of the placenta invade the wall of the womb, acting like a cancerous growth. They swell and degenerate, causing you to bleed from the vagina.  This condition is known as a molar pregnancy.
If you think you are pregnant but have signs and symptoms suggesting a molar pregnancy, it is important that you seek emergency medical care to have the mass removed from your womb. Not only are you in danger of a life-threatening hemorrhage, but the fingerlike projections of the placenta can also turn cancerous and spread throughout your body.
You may already be home after delivering your baby when you develop a fever and belly pains. These symptoms may indicate an infection in your uterus (womb). This is dangerous; even a mild infection in this location can become major and spread rapidly throughout your body, because after delivery the internal lining of the uterus has many small blood vessels. Immediate medical evaluation and treatment can be life-saving.
If you are soaking blood through more than one pad (sanitary napkin) each hour, you are at risk of having a serious hemorrhage. Contact your health-care provider immediately.

While our default templates designed to work with SQL Server, you can easily modify them to work with MySql. In order to do that, you need to follow below steps.
Go to http://aspnetboilerplate.com/Templates and download a new project. Select ASP.NET MVC 5.x tab and don't forget to select Entity Framework.
Then you need to install MySql.Data.Entity nuget package to your .EntityFramework and .Web projects. Installing this nuget package to your .Web project should make necessary changes in your web.config file.
Open your DbContext's configuration class (Configuration.cs) and place below code in it's constructor
SetSqlGenerator("MySql.Data.MySqlClient", new MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlMigrationSqlGenerator());
You need to change your connection string in the web.config file in order to work with your MySql database. An example connection string would be
<add name="Default" connectionString="server=localhost;port=3306;database=sampledb;uid=root;password=***" providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>
If you choose "Include module zero?" while downloading your startup template, there will be some migration files included in your project but those files are generated for Sql Server. Delete all migration files in your .EntityFramework project under Migrations folder. Migration files start with a timestamp. A migration file name would be like this "201506210746108_AbpZero_Initial"
After deleting all migration files, select your .Web project as startup project, open Visual Studio's Package Manager Console and select .EntityFramework project as default project in Package Manager Console. Then run below command to add migration for MySql.
Add-Migration "AbpZero_Initial"
Now you can create your database using below command
Update-Database
It is all done, now you can run your project with MySql.

Introduction
The broadcastable and receivable functionality provides for an easy to way to share data, state, and more between two different areas of your code.
They enable a variables in one viewModel/module to be reflected in the variable of another, being kept in sync automatically and transparently to you. By taking advantage of this functionality your application and modules are able to expressively share state and data while being kept as loosely coupled (and testable!) as possible.
Broadcastables and receivables are extended/special knockout observables which hook into the namespacing provided by Footwork to either send data (broadcastable) or receive data (receivable) to or from other namespaces/modules. They can be used just like any other knockout observable as they extend from the base ko.subscribable type.
Usage
Broadcastables are created by taking an observable and calling observable.broadcastAs() on it, receivables are created by taking an observable and calling observable.receiveFrom() on it. Broadcastables and receivables can be based off of any knockout observable type (observable, computed observable, observableArray).
Receivables are listeners for information that a broadcastable sends out. Anytime a broadcastable sends out an updated value for the variable a receivable is configured for, the receivable will be updated, its listeners notified, and that value propagated through any computed values as expected.
The module a broadcastable is attached to should be thought of as the 'owner' of that property, and any related logic should (ideally) also be contained within that module/lexical scope.
Since receivables and broadcastables are just extended observables, any computed properties and subscriptions based off of them will propagate just like normal knockout observables.
observable.receiveFrom( 'namespaceName', 'variableName' )
observable.receiveFrom( namespace, 'variableName' )
Factory method which will create and return a receivable from an existing observable (observable, computed, or observableArray):
var Navigation = fw.viewModel({
namespace: 'Navigation',
initialize: function() {
// initial value provided to the observable is the default, before any data is received from a broadcastable
this.userIsLoggedIn = fw.observable(null).receiveFrom('User', 'isLoggedIn'); // value is null
this.loggedInUsername = fw.observable().receiveFrom('User', 'username'); // value is undefined
/**
* Note that you can chain a .when() statement and supply a callback which will be used
* to determine when the receivable will be updated.
*/
this.loggedInUserSam = fw.observable(null)
.receiveFrom('User', 'username')
.when(function(username) { return username === 'Sam'; });
// You can also supply it a non-function value and it will do an explicit check and only assign for that value
this.loggedInUserAlsoSam = fw.observable(null).receiveFrom('User', 'username').when('Sam');
// This computed is based off of the two previous receivables
this.navGreeting = fw.computed(function() {
if(this.userIsLoggedIn()) {
return 'Welcome ' + this.loggedInUsername();
} else {
return 'Please login';
}
}, this);
}
});
/**
* Note: See the next section for details on broadcastables
*/
var User = fw.viewModel({
namespace: 'User',
initialize: function() {
this.loggedIn = fw.observable(false).broadcastAs('isLoggedIn');
this.username = fw.observable().broadcastAs('username');
this.login = function(user, pass) {
if(user === 'DarkHelmet' && pass === '12345') {
this.username(user);
this.loggedIn(true);
}
};
}
});
var navigation = new Navigation();
// navigation.userIsLoggedIn() === null
// navigation.navGreeting() === 'Please login'
var user = new User();
// user.loggedIn() === false
// navigation.userIsLoggedIn() === false
user.login('DarkHelmet', '12345');
// user.username() === 'DarkHelmet'
// navigation.userIsLoggedIn() === true
// navigation.navGreeting() === 'Welcome DarkHelmet'
// navigation.loggedInUserSam() === null
// navigation.loggedInUserAlsoSam() === null
user.login('Sam', '12345');
// navigation.loggedInUserSam() === 'Sam'
// navigation.loggedInUserAlsoSam() === 'Sam'
observable.broadcastAs( 'variableName' )
observable.broadcastAs( 'variableName', isWritable )
observable.broadcastAs( { name: 'variableName', writable: isWritable } )
observable.broadcastAs( { name: 'variableName', namespace: Namespace, writable: isWritable } )
observable.broadcastAs( { name: 'variableName', namespace: 'NamespaceName', writable: isWritable } )
Factory method which will create and return a broadcastable from an existing observable (observable, computed, or observableArray)
Broadcastable values can be either read-only or writable. A writable broadcastable will allow a receivable to write back its value upstream. This means you can have a value broadcast from one namespace/module and allow a receivable to both listen for and update its value (with that value propogating back to the broadcaster).
NOTE: Although broadcastables can be writable, try to avoid writing to them from external modules. The broadcastable should ideally have associated logic contained within the module it is attached to. 'Reaching in' from an external location breaks the concept of separation of concerns and can lead to spaghettification of your code.
Read-only Examples:
var User = fw.viewModel({
namespace: 'User',
initialize: function(username) {
// broadcastAs() will use the namespace of the viewModel by default.
this.username = fw.observable(username).broadcastAs('username');
}
});
// You can also be explicit or broadcast on a different namespace
var appUsername = fw.observable(username).broadcastAs({ name: 'username', namespace: 'Application' });
// Note: Try to keep broadcastables located within their respective module
// (ie: try not to broadcast to a different namespace than the current one, this is mostly
// for use outside of a viewModel context)
// receivable listening for updates on 'username' from the 'User' namespace
var userName = fw.observable(null).receiveFrom('User', 'username');
// userName() === null
// create user object that broadcasts 'username'
var user = new User('Jonathan');
// ...and now the receivable is updated by the broadcastable:
// userName() === 'Jonathan'
- As soon as the broadcastable is instantiated any receivables listening will be updated with the current value.
- As soon as a receivable is instantiated it will request the current value from the broadcastable. If no broadcastable is present for the receivable, no change to the receivables default will be made.
Writable example:

3. Solving Problems By Searching
Explain why problem formulation must follow goal formulation.
Give a complete problem formulation for each of the following problems. Choose a formulation that is precise enough to be implemented.
-
There are six glass boxes in a row, each with a lock. Each of the first five boxes holds a key unlocking the next box in line; the last box holds a banana. You have the key to the first box, and you want the banana.
-
You start with the sequence ABABAECCEC, or in general any sequence made from A, B, C, and E. You can transform this sequence using the following equalities: AC = E, AB = BC, BB = E, and E$x$ = $x$ for any $x$. For example, ABBC can be transformed into AEC, and then AC, and then E. Your goal is to produce the sequence E.
-
There is an $n \times n$ grid of squares, each square initially being either unpainted floor or a bottomless pit. You start standing on an unpainted floor square, and can either paint the square under you or move onto an adjacent unpainted floor square. You want the whole floor painted.
-
A container ship is in port, loaded high with containers. There 13 rows of containers, each 13 containers wide and 5 containers tall. You control a crane that can move to any location above the ship, pick up the container under it, and move it onto the dock. You want the ship unloaded.
Your goal is to navigate a robot out of a maze. The robot starts in the center of the maze facing north. You can turn the robot to face north, east, south, or west. You can direct the robot to move forward a certain distance, although it will stop before hitting a wall.
-
Formulate this problem. How large is the state space?
-
In navigating a maze, the only place we need to turn is at the intersection of two or more corridors. Reformulate this problem using this observation. How large is the state space now?
-
From each point in the maze, we can move in any of the four directions until we reach a turning point, and this is the only action we need to do. Reformulate the problem using these actions. Do we need to keep track of the robot’s orientation now?
-
In our initial description of the problem we already abstracted from the real world, restricting actions and removing details. List three such simplifications we made.
You have a $9 \times 9$ grid of squares, each of which can be colored red or blue. The grid is initially colored all blue, but you can change the color of any square any number of times. Imagining the grid divided into nine $3 \times 3$ sub-squares, you want each sub-square to be all one color but neighboring sub-squares to be different colors.
-
Formulate this problem in the straightforward way. Compute the size of the state space.
-
You need color a square only once. Reformulate, and compute the size of the state space. Would breadth-first graph search perform faster on this problem than on the one in (a)? How about iterative deepening tree search?
-
Given the goal, we need consider only colorings where each sub-square is uniformly colored. Reformulate the problem and compute the size of the state space.
-
How many solutions does this problem have?
-
Parts (b) and (c) successively abstracted the original problem (a). Can you give a translation from solutions in problem (c) into solutions in problem (b), and from solutions in problem (b) into solutions for problem (a)?
Exercise 3.5 [two-friends-exercise]
Suppose two friends live in different cities on a map, such as the Romania map shown in . On every turn, we can simultaneously move each friend to a neighboring city on the map. The amount of time needed to move from city $i$ to neighbor $j$ is equal to the road distance $d(i,j)$ between the cities, but on each turn the friend that arrives first must wait until the other one arrives (and calls the first on his/her cell phone) before the next turn can begin. We want the two friends to meet as quickly as possible.
-
Write a detailed formulation for this search problem. (You will find it helpful to define some formal notation here.)
-
Let $D(i,j)$ be the straight-line distance between cities $i$ and $j$. Which of the following heuristic functions are admissible? (i) $D(i,j)$; (ii) $2\cdot D(i,j)$; (iii) $D(i,j)/2$.
-
Are there completely connected maps for which no solution exists?
-
Are there maps in which all solutions require one friend to visit the same city twice?
Exercise 3.6 [8puzzle-parity-exercise]
Show that the 8-puzzle states are divided into two disjoint sets, such that any state is reachable from any other state in the same set, while no state is reachable from any state in the other set. (Hint: See @Berlekamp+al:1982.) Devise a procedure to decide which set a given state is in, and explain why this is useful for generating random states.
Exercise 3.7 [nqueens-size-exercise]
Consider the $n$-queens problem using the “efficient” incremental formulation given on page nqueens-page. Explain why the state space has at least $\sqrt[3]{n!}$ states and estimate the largest $n$ for which exhaustive exploration is feasible. (Hint: Derive a lower bound on the branching factor by considering the maximum number of squares that a queen can attack in any column.)
Give a complete problem formulation for each of the following. Choose a formulation that is precise enough to be implemented.
-
Using only four colors, you have to color a planar map in such a way that no two adjacent regions have the same color.
-
A 3-foot-tall monkey is in a room where some bananas are suspended from the 8-foot ceiling. He would like to get the bananas. The room contains two stackable, movable, climbable 3-foot-high crates.
-
You have a program that outputs the message “illegal input record” when fed a certain file of input records. You know that processing of each record is independent of the other records. You want to discover what record is illegal.
-
You have three jugs, measuring 12 gallons, 8 gallons, and 3 gallons, and a water faucet. You can fill the jugs up or empty them out from one to another or onto the ground. You need to measure out exactly one gallon.
Exercise 3.9 [path-planning-exercise]
Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a plane that has convex polygonal obstacles as shown in . This is an idealization of the problem that a robot has to solve to navigate in a crowded environment.
-
Suppose the state space consists of all positions $(x,y)$ in the plane. How many states are there? How many paths are there to the goal?
-
Explain briefly why the shortest path from one polygon vertex to any other in the scene must consist of straight-line segments joining some of the vertices of the polygons. Define a good state space now. How large is this state space?
-
Define the necessary functions to implement the search problem, including an function that takes a vertex as input and returns a set of vectors, each of which maps the current vertex to one of the vertices that can be reached in a straight line. (Do not forget the neighbors on the same polygon.) Use the straight-line distance for the heuristic function.
-
Apply one or more of the algorithms in this chapter to solve a range of problems in the domain, and comment on their performance.
Exercise 3.10 [negative-g-exercise]
On page non-negative-g, we said that we would not consider problems with negative path costs. In this exercise, we explore this decision in more depth.
-
Suppose that actions can have arbitrarily large negative costs; explain why this possibility would force any optimal algorithm to explore the entire state space.
-
Does it help if we insist that step costs must be greater than or equal to some negative constant $c$? Consider both trees and graphs.
-
Suppose that a set of actions forms a loop in the state space such that executing the set in some order results in no net change to the state. If all of these actions have negative cost, what does this imply about the optimal behavior for an agent in such an environment?
-
One can easily imagine actions with high negative cost, even in domains such as route finding. For example, some stretches of road might have such beautiful scenery as to far outweigh the normal costs in terms of time and fuel. Explain, in precise terms, within the context of state-space search, why humans do not drive around scenic loops indefinitely, and explain how to define the state space and actions for route finding so that artificial agents can also avoid looping.
-
Can you think of a real domain in which step costs are such as to cause looping?
The problem is usually stated as follows. Three missionaries and three cannibals are on one side of a river, along with a boat that can hold one or two people. Find a way to get everyone to the other side without ever leaving a group of missionaries in one place outnumbered by the cannibals in that place. This problem is famous in AI because it was the subject of the first paper that approached problem formulation from an analytical viewpoint @Amarel:1968.
-
Formulate the problem precisely, making only those distinctions necessary to ensure a valid solution. Draw a diagram of the complete state space.
-
Implement and solve the problem optimally using an appropriate search algorithm. Is it a good idea to check for repeated states?
-
Why do you think people have a hard time solving this puzzle, given that the state space is so simple?
Define in your own words the following terms: state, state space, search tree, search node, goal, action, transition model, and branching factor.
What’s the difference between a world state, a state description, and a search node? Why is this distinction useful?
An action such as really consists of a long sequence of finer-grained actions: turn on the car, release the brake, accelerate forward, etc. Having composite actions of this kind reduces the number of steps in a solution sequence, thereby reducing the search time. Suppose we take this to the logical extreme, by making super-composite actions out of every possible sequence of actions. Then every problem instance is solved by a single super-composite action, such as . Explain how search would work in this formulation. Is this a practical approach for speeding up problem solving?
Does a finite state space always lead to a finite search tree? How about a finite state space that is a tree? Can you be more precise about what types of state spaces always lead to finite search trees? (Adapted from , 1996.)
Exercise 3.16 [graph-separation-property-exercise]
Prove that satisfies the graph separation property illustrated in . (Hint: Begin by showing that the property holds at the start, then show that if it holds before an iteration of the algorithm, it holds afterwards.) Describe a search algorithm that violates the property.
Which of the following are true and which are false? Explain your answers.
-
Depth-first search always expands at least as many nodes as A search with an admissible heuristic.
-
$h(n)=0$ is an admissible heuristic for the 8-puzzle.
-
A is of no use in robotics because percepts, states, and actions are continuous.
-
Breadth-first search is complete even if zero step costs are allowed.
-
Assume that a rook can move on a chessboard any number of squares in a straight line, vertically or horizontally, but cannot jump over other pieces. Manhattan distance is an admissible heuristic for the problem of moving the rook from square A to square B in the smallest number of moves.
Consider a state space where the start state is number 1 and each state $k$ has two successors: numbers $2k$ and $2k+1$.
-
Draw the portion of the state space for states 1 to 15.
-
Suppose the goal state is 11. List the order in which nodes will be visited for breadth-first search, depth-limited search with limit 3, and iterative deepening search.
-
How well would bidirectional search work on this problem? What is the branching factor in each direction of the bidirectional search?
-
Does the answer to (c) suggest a reformulation of the problem that would allow you to solve the problem of getting from state 1 to a given goal state with almost no search?
-
Call the action going from $k$ to $2k$ Left, and the action going to $2k+1$ Right. Can you find an algorithm that outputs the solution to this problem without any search at all?
A basic wooden railway set contains the pieces shown in . The task is to connect these pieces into a railway that has no overlapping tracks and no loose ends where a train could run off onto the floor.
-
Suppose that the pieces fit together exactly with no slack. Give a precise formulation of the task as a search problem.
-
Identify a suitable uninformed search algorithm for this task and explain your choice.
-
Explain why removing any one of the “fork” pieces makes the problem unsolvable.
-
Give an upper bound on the total size of the state space defined by your formulation. (Hint: think about the maximum branching factor for the construction process and the maximum depth, ignoring the problem of overlapping pieces and loose ends. Begin by pretending that every piece is unique.)
Implement two versions of the function for the 8-puzzle: one that copies and edits the data structure for the parent node $s$ and one that modifies the parent state directly (undoing the modifications as needed). Write versions of iterative deepening depth-first search that use these functions and compare their performance.
Exercise 3.21 [iterative-lengthening-exercise]
On page iterative-lengthening-page, we mentioned iterative lengthening search, an iterative analog of uniform cost search. The idea is to use increasing limits on path cost. If a node is generated whose path cost exceeds the current limit, it is immediately discarded. For each new iteration, the limit is set to the lowest path cost of any node discarded in the previous iteration.
-
Show that this algorithm is optimal for general path costs.
-
Consider a uniform tree with branching factor $b$, solution depth $d$, and unit step costs. How many iterations will iterative lengthening require?
-
Now consider step costs drawn from the continuous range $[\epsilon,1]$, where $0 < \epsilon < 1$. How many iterations are required in the worst case?
-
Implement the algorithm and apply it to instances of the 8-puzzle and traveling salesperson problems. Compare the algorithm’s performance to that of uniform-cost search, and comment on your results.
Describe a state space in which iterative deepening search performs much worse than depth-first search (for example, $O(n^{2})$ vs. $O(n)$).
Write a program that will take as input two Web page URLs and find a path of links from one to the other. What is an appropriate search strategy? Is bidirectional search a good idea? Could a search engine be used to implement a predecessor function?
Exercise 3.24 [vacuum-search-exercise]
Consider the vacuum-world problem defined in .
-
Which of the algorithms defined in this chapter would be appropriate for this problem? Should the algorithm use tree search or graph search?
-
Apply your chosen algorithm to compute an optimal sequence of actions for a $3\times 3$ world whose initial state has dirt in the three top squares and the agent in the center.
-
Construct a search agent for the vacuum world, and evaluate its performance in a set of $3\times 3$ worlds with probability 0.2 of dirt in each square. Include the search cost as well as path cost in the performance measure, using a reasonable exchange rate.

-
Consider what would happen if the world were enlarged to $n \times n$. How does the performance of the search agent and of the reflex agent vary with $n$?
Exercise 3.25 [search-special-case-exercise]
Prove each of the following statements, or give a counterexample:
-
Breadth-first search is a special case of uniform-cost search.
-
Depth-first search is a special case of best-first tree search.
-
Uniform-cost search is a special case of A search.
Compare the performance of A and RBFS on a set of randomly generated problems in the 8-puzzle (with Manhattan distance) and TSP (with MST—see ) domains. Discuss your results. What happens to the performance of RBFS when a small random number is added to the heuristic values in the 8-puzzle domain?
Trace the operation of A search applied to the problem of getting to Bucharest from Lugoj using the straight-line distance heuristic. That is, show the sequence of nodes that the algorithm will consider and the $f$, $g$, and $h$ score for each node.
Sometimes there is no good evaluation function for a problem but there is a good comparison method: a way to tell whether one node is better than another without assigning numerical values to either. Show that this is enough to do a best-first search. Is there an analog of A for this setting?
Exercise 3.29 [a*-failure-exercise]
Devise a state space in which A using returns a suboptimal solution with an $h(n)$ function that is admissible but inconsistent.
Accurate heuristics don’t necessarily reduce search time in the worst case. Given any depth $d$, define a search problem with a goal node at depth $d$, and write a heuristic function such that $|h(n) - h^*(n)| \le O(\log h^*(n))$ but $A^*$ expands all nodes of depth less than $d$.
The heuristic path algorithm @Pohl:1977 is a best-first search in which the evaluation function is $f(n) = (2-w)g(n) + wh(n)$. For what values of $w$ is this complete? For what values is it optimal, assuming that $h$ is admissible? What kind of search does this perform for $w=0$, $w=1$, and $w=2$?
Consider the unbounded version of the regular 2D grid shown in . The start state is at the origin, (0,0), and the goal state is at $(x,y)$.
-
What is the branching factor $b$ in this state space?
-
How many distinct states are there at depth $k$ (for $k>0$)?
-
What is the maximum number of nodes expanded by breadth-first tree search?
-
What is the maximum number of nodes expanded by breadth-first graph search?
-
Is $h = |u-x| + |v-y|$ an admissible heuristic for a state at $(u,v)$? Explain.
-
How many nodes are expanded by A graph search using $h$?
-
Does $h$ remain admissible if some links are removed?
-
Does $h$ remain admissible if some links are added between nonadjacent states?
$n$ vehicles occupy squares $(1,1)$ through $(n,1)$ (i.e., the bottom row) of an $n\times n$ grid. The vehicles must be moved to the top row but in reverse order; so the vehicle $i$ that starts in $(i,1)$ must end up in $(n-i+1,n)$. On each time step, every one of the $n$ vehicles can move one square up, down, left, or right, or stay put; but if a vehicle stays put, one other adjacent vehicle (but not more than one) can hop over it. Two vehicles cannot occupy the same square.
-
Calculate the size of the state space as a function of $n$.
-
Calculate the branching factor as a function of $n$.
-
Suppose that vehicle $i$ is at $(x_i,y_i)$; write a nontrivial admissible heuristic $h_i$ for the number of moves it will require to get to its goal location $(n-i+1,n)$, assuming no other vehicles are on the grid.
-
Which of the following heuristics are admissible for the problem of moving all $n$ vehicles to their destinations? Explain.
-
$\sum_{i= 1}^{n} h_i$.
-
$\max{h_1,\ldots,h_n}$.
-
$\min{h_1,\ldots,h_n}$.
-
Consider the problem of moving $k$ knights from $k$ starting squares $s_1,\ldots,s_k$ to $k$ goal squares $g_1,\ldots,g_k$, on an unbounded chessboard, subject to the rule that no two knights can land on the same square at the same time. Each action consists of moving up to $k$ knights simultaneously. We would like to complete the maneuver in the smallest number of actions.
-
What is the maximum branching factor in this state space, expressed as a function of $k$?
-
Suppose $h_i$ is an admissible heuristic for the problem of moving knight $i$ to goal $g_i$ by itself. Which of the following heuristics are admissible for the $k$-knight problem? Of those, which is the best?
-
$\min{h_1,\ldots,h_k}$.
-
$\max{h_1,\ldots,h_k}$.
-
$\sum_{i= 1}^{k} h_i$.
-
-
Repeat (b) for the case where you are allowed to move only one knight at a time.
We saw on page I-to-F that the straight-line distance heuristic leads greedy best-first search astray on the problem of going from Iasi to Fagaras. However, the heuristic is perfect on the opposite problem: going from Fagaras to Iasi. Are there problems for which the heuristic is misleading in both directions?
Invent a heuristic function for the 8-puzzle that sometimes overestimates, and show how it can lead to a suboptimal solution on a particular problem. (You can use a computer to help if you want.) Prove that if $h$ never overestimates by more than $c$, A using $h$ returns a solution whose cost exceeds that of the optimal solution by no more than $c$.
[consistent-heuristic-exercise]Prove that if a heuristic is consistent, it must be admissible. Construct an admissible heuristic that is not consistent.
[tsp-mst-exercise]The traveling salesperson problem (TSP) can be solved with the minimum-spanning-tree (MST) heuristic, which estimates the cost of completing a tour, given that a partial tour has already been constructed. The MST cost of a set of cities is the smallest sum of the link costs of any tree that connects all the cities.
-
Show how this heuristic can be derived from a relaxed version of the TSP.
-
Show that the MST heuristic dominates straight-line distance.
-
Write a problem generator for instances of the TSP where cities are represented by random points in the unit square.
-
Find an efficient algorithm in the literature for constructing the MST, and use it with A graph search to solve instances of the TSP.
Exercise 3.39 [Gaschnig-h-exercise]
On page Gaschnig-h-page , we defined the relaxation of the 8-puzzle in which a tile can move from square A to square B if B is blank. The exact solution of this problem defines Gaschnig’s heuristic @Gaschnig:1979. Explain why Gaschnig’s heuristic is at least as accurate as $h_1$ (misplaced tiles), and show cases where it is more accurate than both $h_1$ and $h_2$ (Manhattan distance). Explain how to calculate Gaschnig’s heuristic efficiently.
We gave two simple heuristics for the 8-puzzle: Manhattan distance and misplaced tiles. Several heuristics in the literature purport to improve on this—see, for example, @Nilsson:1971, @Mostow+Prieditis:1989, and @Hansson+al:1992. Test these claims by implementing the heuristics and comparing the performance of the resulting algorithms.

My name is Camerion Brooks. I got into tech because I am a problem solver. I love taking complex issues, breaking them down, and seeing the results of my work. Before making the switch to web development, I worked in customer service, where I enjoyed resolving customer issues by working diligently to deliver desired results or point them in the right direction. The end results from customer service are linked to the same joy I feel when working as a developer.
Development makes me happy! I can fix, build, and see my results in real-time. I am most excited when starting a new project. I like to experiment with code and see how I can continually improve. Coding for me is the active process of problem-solving. It is how I get to do what I love all the time.

Nintendo's New Tokyo Store Is Looking Great, Here's A New Range Of Super Mario Merch
Store opens this month
by Ryan CraddockOn 22nd November, Nintendo is set to open a brand new official store in Tokyo, Japan. Amazingly, it's the first ever official shop to arrive in the company's home country, but the merchandise on offer is looking better and better every time a new announcement comes our way.
Today, we've been treated to a look at some of the Super Mario-themed goodies you'll be able to find. You can check them out in the image below - there are plushies, pens, notepads, mini towels, bags, phone cases, and more.
The lineup joins a number of collections we've already seen, including an adorable set of Animal Crossing home-based merchandise, a cool-looking Mario x Pokémon crossover line, and plenty more besides.
The store will be based in Tokyo's new Shibuya Parco shopping centre; if you're planning on visiting Japan in the near future, make sure to add this to your to-do list. And bring us something back, would you?

GTEx Transcript Browser is for exploring expression of individual transcripts of a gene. The top tab bar in the browser provides view options for browsing expression data at the exon, junction or transcript level across multiple tissues summarized in a heatmap.
In the transcript expression view, the expressions of transcripts across tissues are summarized in a heatmap. The tissues (rows) and isoforms (columns) are hierarchically clustered using the Euclidean distance and average linkage method. The dendrogram scale shows the cluster distance. The individual transcript structures are illustrated below the heatmap--exons are represented as rectangles, and introns (the distance between two adjacent exons) are scaled by length up to 1 kilobases (kb) long. By clicking a tissue label on the heatmap, a lollipop plot of the transcript expression in the selected tissue will appear next to the transcript tracks.
Exon-level expression is calculated based on a collapsed gene model. To learn more about the collapsing transcript model, go to GTEx Portal Documentation: Analysis Methods. In the exon view, the heatmap summarizes expression of exons of the collapsed gene model across tissues. The tissues (rows) are hierarchically clustered based on the expression data. The exons (columns) are ordered by genomic location. Below the heatmap, the collapsed gene model is illustrated--exons are represented as rectangles, and introns are scaled by length up to 1 kb long. Additionally, the junctions between joined exons of all splice variants are mapped out on the model and shown as arcs. By clicking a tissue label on the heatmap, the gene model will change colors scaled by expression in the selected tissue. At times, an exon on the gene model may show dashed-line borders indicating that the exon or part of it has been filtered in the collapsed model.
In the junction view, the heatmap summarizes expression of junctions from all transcripts across tissues. The tissues (rows) are hierarchically clustered based on the junction expression data, and the junctions (columns) are sorted by genomic location.
All expression quantifications are described in the GTEx Portal Documentation: Analysis Methods -> Expression Quantification section of the portal.
