B in periodic table chemistry6/22/2023 ![]() We will learn the reason for this later, when we discuss how compounds form. These elements also have similar properties to each other, the most significant property being that they are extremely unreactive, rarely forming compounds. This group contains very reactive nonmetal elements. ![]() Group 7A (or 17) elements are also called halogens. It is important to recognize a couple of other important groups on the periodic table by their group name. Remember, Mendeleev arranged the table so that elements with the most similar properties were in the same group on the periodic table. The same pattern is true of other groups on the periodic table. Once again, because of their similarities in electron configurations, these elements have similar properties to each other. Group 2A is also called the alkaline earth metals. Although most metals tend to be very hard, these metals are actually soft and can be easily cut. Group 1A is also known as the alkali metals. Because of their similarities in their chemical properties, Mendeleev put these elements into the same group. The elements in 1A are all very reactive and form compounds in the same ratios with similar properties with other elements. This is what causes these elements to react in the same ways as the other members of the family. All of the 1A elements have one valence electron. A group is a vertical column of the periodic table. ![]() Remember that Mendeleev arranged the periodic table so that elements with the most similar properties were placed in the same group. Yellow gord6/22/2023 ![]() Cleaning: C. foetidissima contains a saponin that can be obtained from the fruit and root.Medical: The Zuni people use a poultice of powdered seeds, flowers and saliva for swellings.But the main interest to produce renewable fuels is to produce biofuel with the carbohydrates which are located in the tap root. Biofuel: Biodiesel can be produced from the oil in the seeds.Commercial Products: Besides food, the protein can be used for industrial purposes (water paints, paper coating, adhesives and textile sizing).Fodder: Fresh leaves or the whole plants can be used as animal food.The starch content in the dried root is between 47.5% and 56%. Starch: Is mainly located in the tap root which forms after the first year of growth.Protein: Whole Buffalo gourd seeds contain approximately 31% crude protein, which is usable for human consumption and for feed.A characterization of the oils from buffalo gourd indicates that this oil is similar to other common edible oils. Linoleic acid, an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid, comprises 38% to 65% of the oil. Oil: The extractable oil content in whole seeds reaches from 24.3% to 50%.Seeds: Eaten after being prepared by roasting or boiling.The mature fruit is no longer edible, due to bitter compounds. Fresh gourd: The fresh young gourd can be eaten like squash.It is also used as a durable groundcover for hiding and protecting banks from erosion. The buffalo gourd has the potential of being a crop adapted to arid to semiarid lands. In Mexico, it can be found in Aguascalientes, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo northern Jalisco, Mexico Nuevo León, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Sonora, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas. ![]() It is found in the central and southwestern United States, in: Arizona, Arkansas, southern California, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, southern Nebraska, southern Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and southern Utah. Distribution Ĭucurbita foetidissima is native to North America. A four-year-old root grown under cultivation can reach a fresh weight of 45 kg (99 lb) and a length of 2.5 m (8.2 ft). The central tap root can weigh up to 72 kg (159 lb). The plant forms a fleshy tap root which is used as a storage and overwintering structure. One hectare of plants can produce 2.5 tons of seed. The seeds often remain viable for months or even years within an undamaged gourd. The seeds, which are 12 mm (0.5 in) long and 7 mm (0.3 in) wide, weigh about 4 g per 100 seeds, with the seed coat accounting for about 30% of the seed weight. The fruit weighs 120 g to 150 g, with 292 to 315 seeds per fruit. The fruit has a diameter of 7–10 cm (3–4 in). The flowers are borne singly at the nodes of the vines after a certain amount of annual vegetative growth has taken place. The leaves of the buffalo gourd are typically entire and heart-shaped with a base of 10–13 cm (4–5 in) and length of 20–25 cm (8–10 in). Asexual propagation is possible from nodal roots. The germination is possible in a pH range from 2.2 (germination rate 15%) up to pH 8 (germination rate 90%). The maximum depth for a successful germination is 12 cm. Germination temperature range is between 15 ☌ and 37 ☌ with an optimum at 25 ☌. This perennial is well adapted to marginal agricultural lands such as sandy loam soils which have to be well-drained. Warm weather is required during the five- to eight-month vegetation period. Morphology and cultivation Ĭucurbita foetidissima requires little water and grows best in semiarid and arid environments. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Cucurbita foetidissima. Geographic location and genetics make it highly likely that Cucurbita scabridifolia originated as a naturally occurring hybrid of C. When mature, a stage marked by increasing desiccation of vine, leaves, fruit-stem, and fruit, the fruit begins its final gourd stage. The fruit is consumed by both humans and animals. The carbohydrates that are formed in the tap root have led to the idea of growing the plant for biofuel. It contains high amounts of protein and carbohydrates and yields abundant oil. The buffalo gourd has evolved in the semiarid regions and is well-adapted to desert environments. In Latin, foetidissima means ill smelling. The type specimen was collected from Mexico by Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland sometime before 1817. ![]() It has numerous common names, including: buffalo gourd, calabazilla, chilicote, coyote gourd, fetid gourd, fetid wild pumpkin, Missouri gourd, prairie gourd, stinking gourd, wild gourd, and wild pumpkin. Cucumis foetidissimus Hemsl., not validly publishedĬucurbita foetidissima is a tuberous xerophytic plant found in the central and southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Live home 3d pro windows review6/22/2023 Instead, I used file versioning, just calling it floorplan_1, floorplan_2, etc.Īnother thing I found odd is how the program auto-saves. I also like to turn on and off different layers to show different ideas and layouts. When I do a floor plan, I like to have many different versions and turn on and off certain layers to be able to drill down to certain elements (like electrical sockets). I was disappointed that the tool doesn't appear to have layers. That said, it's not perfect.Īlso: Why iPhone and Android phone prices will get even higher CNET I found Live Home 3D to be exceptionally helpful in preparing and planning both my workspaces and personal spaces. I'm actually sitting in that room right now, and it's worked out nicely (although the TV is still sitting on a wire rack, because there's no fancy fireplace unit yet). We also wanted a little dining nook, and a couple of places to sit and read. ![]() We wanted a TV watching area that we could gate off, so our puppy wouldn't get in too much trouble. We've puppy-tested this plan and it works! What are the odds that a small company making a home planning app will be able to represent objects that match commercial brand products, especially things like Harbor Freight workbenches or Lulzbot, Creality, and Ultimaker 3D printers? That white shelving is some Home Depot plastic stuff, and that workbench is a Harbor Freight workbench.Īlso: How to run your business from your smartphone TechRepublic On the wall opposite the 3D printers, you'll also notice some white shelving and a workbench. I did tell you this was going to be cool, didn't I? My floor plan actually has 3D representations of my actual 3D printers. If you want to see how the workshop and my studio will look as well, check out this quick video I made early in the renovation process. In fact, an astute observer of 3D printers could probably identify each of the six 3D printers shown. Notice how much easier it is to see what I'm planning than if I had just included an illustration with a bunch of boxes. ![]() This became quite helpful as I was trying to map out our house. A room planning product knows of rooms, doors, and walls. Diagraming tools know of objects and groups. That said, this is where Live Home 3D starts to differ from a traditional diagramming tool. ![]() A few cuts and a few pastes solved it, but it was a bit annoying. In the case of Live Home 3D, there were some areas where I added a room and it decided to change the angle of some walls. I'm very glad I did.įor the top-down floor plan view, Visio, OmniGraffle, or Live Home 3D all would have done about the same job. I ran into some licensing snafus that the support folks helped me with, but by that time, I'd started researching other tools and found Live Home 3D. That's $99 (or $199 for the pro version) for a year. ![]() Instead, I went with OmniGraffle, a decent-enough diagramming program for the Mac. Plus, no native MacOS Visio app? Really?Īlso: Augmented and virtual reality mean business I already pay for an Office 365 subscription, so I just couldn't bring myself to shell out another $60 to $180 to use an application I'd already paid for numerous times over the years and that is considered part of Office. Yes, there's a browser version of Visio, but that's either $5 per month or $15 per month, depending on whether you want the basic or pro version. For reasons I don't understand, Microsoft hasn't ported Visio to the Mac.

Choose from meats and vegetables for your main course before taking on the epic dessert buffet. She said the Reuben was very good, but, the fries were cold, dried out, and the cheese sauce was cold and tasted nasty. My friend ordered the Reuben sandwich and paid extra to get fries instead of chips and also paid extra for cheese on them.

Halt and catch fire6/22/2023 “They’re the thing that gets you to the thing.” “Computers aren’t the thing,” says one character, more than once. But while this is ostensibly a show about technology, focused on people whose lives revolve around boxes of circuits and wires, their story-and the story of technology-always circles back to that most basic of human emotions: the desire to connect with people. The heroes and antiheroes of Halt and Catch Fire can see the future barreling down the tracks and are just trying to stay out ahead of it. But it’s getting faster and faster and I’m terrified I’m going to miss it … I don’t want to get left behind.” “Something big, like a train, and all I want is to jump on board. “I know that something’s coming,” says one young programmer on the show. The AMC drama, which came to a close last weekend, traces the modern computer age from the early 1980s to the dawn of the internet in the mid ‘90s, a time when the tech industry felt like a heady mix of meritocracy and magic: have the right idea at the right time, and you could remake the world, forever changing the way people talk, work, think, and live. A series of gleaming signals race across a retro-futuristic landscape of red neon, running hotter and faster until one takes the lead, shatters a gleaming barrier, and lights up an LED bulb that feels as big as the world. The opening credits of Halt and Catch Fire play out like a beautiful idea. Six flags great adventure6/22/2023 ![]()
Before your eyes game ending6/21/2023 The story’s emotional resonance also hits harder in VR since players can’t look away. You can just get completely lost in the story.” And I think the PS VR2 has proven to be a really winning platform for just hitting that flow and forgetting about the tech aspect of it and whether it’s working properly. “And so when it disappears into the background and it’s seamless and the tech is working close to flawlessly, that’s when it really does exploit that editing technique feel of it, and it starts to have this cinematic flow. “With these innovative tech aspects of gaming, like when the Wiimotes came out, what works best is when you forget that it’s tech, and it’s just part of the magic of it all,” said Parkes. Parkes said that looking past the peripherals was key to titles like this and that meant players could hone in on what really matters: the story. ![]() The technology is the same in every PS VR2 headset and that means players can just focus on the game. Differences in lighting or some unforeseen tech-related error can turn a heartfelt experience into a frustrating one, and GoodbyeWorld can’t code for an uncountable amount of real-world troubles. The camera functionality in the phone and PC versions works well enough, but it’s not flawless. The eye-tracking tech was just one reason why VR would make for a technically superior port, as the standardization of the experience gives it an edge over the other two versions. It’s kind of been also the story of our continued collaboration with them, and the timing really worked out with them being able to do this.” Let’s do round two.’ And BKOM came on to do the VR development and did a great job. ![]() “We thought, ‘Well, that collaboration went really well. “Right after creating the mobile version, we solidified this opportunity for the VR version,” said Lewin. GoodbyeWorld was (and still is) hard at work on its next game, so it also didn’t have the time to do the VR port itself. Not only did Sony’s more advanced VR headset pop up at a good time, GoodbyeWorld had also just worked with developer BKOM on the mobile port of Before Your Eyes, which went smoothly enough to justify another collaboration. Game Director Oliver Lewin went one step further and called out the fortuitous timing of it all. ![]() So once we heard that about the new PS VR2, we knew we had to target that.” Will Hellwarth, who has a brain that’s in the future, correctly predicted that this was coming, but I think that it took a little bit longer than any of us expected for eye tracking to reach commercial mass consumer VR headsets. There just weren’t enough out there to justify creating a piece of software for them because the install base was so low for all of them. “Because before, any VR headsets with eye tracking were the really top-of-the-line, highest-spec headsets. “From the very inception of this game, there was always an idea that this would make a great VR title, but it took literally until this headset to be able to do it,” said Parkes. The team just needed to be patient enough to wait for the right opportunity. He continued and noted how the very idea of the game meant it was destined to be a great VR experience. Like let’s go.’ So it was definitely just like a match made in heaven.” We’ve been working on an eye-tracking game for the better part of a decade. It was actually just really easy, like, ‘Well, of course, you guys have a new headset where you wanna show off your cool eye tracking. ![]() “And we were just totally thrilled that Sony felt the same way. “To us, it felt like a no-brainer,” said Parkes. This more commercial headset that was also tied to a big first-party platform was huge, especially since Before Your Eyes‘ publisher, Skybound Games, already had a relationship with Sony. Sony’s PlayStation VR2 is not a cheap VR headset - it costs more than the PlayStation 5 that it plugs into - but it is cheaper and can also track the player’s eyeballs.

The films were all processed similarly using the DEF prescription of Henke.NDT Film, Nondestructive Testing Film - ge.ĪGFA Structurix X-Ray Film. ![]() All the filters were mounted in front of the spectrometer and resided on a 25 - μ m-thick Be filter. In the latter case we used 6 μ m of Ti, and 50.6, 101.2, and 177.8 μ m of Mylar, as well as an open channel. In the former case we used simultaneously four filters at different places along the film, 6 and 12 μ m Fe and 6 and 12 μ m of Cr, as well as an open channel. We will only present the results from the crystals in the range of 5–13 and 2 – 4 keV. Four crystals were used: pentaerythritol (PET) for the range of 5 – 13 keV, potassium acid phthalate (KAP) for the range of 2 – 4 keV, PET for the range of 3.5 – 5.5 keV, and rubidium acid phthalate (RAP) for the range of 1.5 – 2.5 keV. In front of each film, we placed different wedged filters that attenuated the x rays and provided a fiducial for the wavelength calibration. 7 The recorded x-ray pulse shape followed that of the rising part of the laser pulse with a slightly longer decay time than the laser pulse. In January 2005, we recorded the spectra from gold and iron targets, irradiated by the 1 ns long laser pulse of the Omega laser facility, 6 using a spectrometer with four bent crystals called the Henway spectrometer. ![]() It has also been used in microradiograpy of biological samples using 350 keV Faxitron sources. It is used mainly for high-energy x-ray radiography, but not intended for use below 10 keV. 4 The AGFA Structurix D7 film (now fro General Electric Inspection Technology, 50 Industrial Park Road, Lewinstown, PA 17044) is a relatively fast, double-side coated, very fine grain film with high contrast intended for industrial use with and without lead screens. 3 The present article describes tests comparing different films with DEF, especially the AGFA-D7 film, which has been used previously in recording diffraction spectra. 2 Previous efforts at looking for different films have also been superceded by the discontinuation of the tested AGFA and CEA-Reflex25 film. ![]() Some previous work measured the relative sensitivity of Biomax-MS, XAR, and other films. We have searched for a replacement sensitive to x rays with energies below 10 keV, where the film is most useful for imaging at the current ICF facilities. Aged DEF produces higher background, and may invalidate the absolute calibration. 1 Now, the film is being discontinued, and the remaining lots of it are getting old. The detector of choice for many years has been the direct exposure film (DEF), manufactured by Kodak (Eastman Kodak, Rochester, NY 14650), due to its relative sensitivity, availability, and its absolute calibration by Henke et al. X-ray recording using film has been extensively used in the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) community for a long time. |
