![]() This is the top wireless pick in our gaming keyboard buying guide, mainly due to its magnetic OmniPoint switches, which enable a range of helpful gaming features. The SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless is down to $175, which is within a dollar of its all-time low and $75 off its list price. That one is down to $748 for a 55-inch model and $998 for a 65-inch set. In general, it can’t match the brightness or viewing angles of a more expensive set, but it looks to be a good buy if you’re on a tighter budget.įor a well-reviewed midrange model, the Hisense U8K provides much better contrast and peak brightness, plus more gaming-friendly features like ability to play 4K content at up to a 144Hz refresh rate. It’s not ideal for gaming though, as it’s limited to a 60Hz refresh rate and lacks HDMI 2.1 ports. All of that should help it deliver better contrast and color volume than most TVs in its price range. The U6K is has received generally positive reviews around the web, as it's one of the few budget-level sets with quantum dots, full-array local dimming and a mini-LED backlight. We’ve seen these deals before, but each matches an all-time low. If you want a more affordable TV, the Hisense U6K is also on sale, with the 55- and 65-inch models down to $400 and $548, respectively. That’s $200 off the notebook’s list price. Meanwhile, the 13.6-inch MacBook Air isn’t discounted on Amazon, but it’s down to $899 at Best Buy. Variants with double the RAM are up to $250 off as well. If you do need more storage space, the 512GB model with 8GB of RAM is on sale for a low of $1,249. In general, you wouldn’t buy the Air for things like high-res media editing, though its M2 chip is still plenty powerful for everyday tasks. The SSD in this base configuration is technically slower than the one in higher-capacity SKUs, but that shouldn’t be a major problem unless you’re looking to do more complex work. Compared to the 13.6-inch version, it also includes a more powerful speaker system and a slightly upgraded GPU. ![]() ![]() The MacBook Air is the top pick in our guide to the best laptops, and we gave the 15-inch model a review score of 96 earlier this year, as it covers just about all of the things we look for in a quality mainstream notebook. That matches the best price we’ve seen and takes $250 off Apple’s list price. The 15.3-inch version of Apple’s MacBook Air is down to $1,049 for an entry-level model with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. Other SKUs with more RAM and storage are also on sale. The MacBook Air is the top pick in our guide to the best laptops, and this deal brings the entry-level 15-inch model back down to the best price we've seen.

![]() This was more than she could have ever hoped for. And she was being sentenced to permanent bondage, to imprisonment for the rest of her life. She knew that Elena would sometimes send nosey reporters there to disappear. “You will serve out your sentence at the JF Institute, our current location, starting now.” “You have been sentenced a lifetime of bondage and isolation,” the businesswoman stated. She had been tied up as Elena’s slave for several years now. However, there was no way Liz could have done it. She had felt the sunlight on her skin for the first time in years, and she had hated it. ![]() It was enough that they had raided the gang's headquarters with a SWAT them.Įlena had offered Liz up as the culprit, and the police had arrested her. That had caused too much noise for even corrupt officers to ignore, especially with people outside the city more powerful than them wanting an arrest. The police had come to arrest one of Elena’s bikers for the murder of a judge. “You have been found guilty of the first-degree murder of a federal judge.” “Elizabeth Jong,” the businesswoman spoke with a cold voice. One of them had blond hair, and the other was a brunette. The woman in the business suit sat across from her, and the other two stood at her sides. She loved the feeling of powerlessness that came from bondage, but she couldn’t stand the feel of latex. Just then, a doorway opened in one of the walls, and three women, one wearing a business suit, and the other two clad in tight-fitting latex suits and carrying large packages wrapped in plastic, walked in. She belonged to Elena, and she belonged in a tight straightjacket, all bound up for her mistress to tease and torture. Seeing herself naked, seeing herself unbound, it felt wrong. Her skin was paler than the last time she remembered seeing it, before she became a slave. ![]() She would have liked to experience the thrill of being strapped tight in the back with her straightjacket. They had given her a sedative after they had strapped her into the back of the police van, and they must have taken her clothes when she was unconscious. She looked down to examine her naked body. Elena was the most powerful gang leader in the city, and when police would come to arrest her, it would often end up worse for them than it did for her. It must have been for a crime so big, that it could not be ignored by them. The police had busted in, waving their guns around. She had been with Elena, in her own personal cell behind her mistress’s office. She could remember parts of what happened, but not too much. Having been sedated only minutes before, she could hardly remember why she was here. The walls were all painted white, and she couldn’t tell where the door was, or even if the room had any doors. There was only a desk in front of her, another chair beyond that, and to her right, a table. The room she found herself in did not have much furniture. Liz awoke to find herself sitting in a chair, stripped naked. ![]() ![]() The Time Capsule Model A1302 is short and wide only the fifth-generation Model A1470 is tall and skinny. The model number is written in small print on the first line below the Apple logo. You can identify the Time Capsule Model A1302 by the model number on the rubber bottom of the device (the serial number is also on the bottom in case you need that as well). You can use Apple’s Airport Utility software for Mac or Windows to manage your network or erase the internal hard drive. The Time Capsule also has a USB port which you can use to connect external drives or a shared printer. The A1302 Time Capsule includes four gigabit Ethernet ports to connect to a modem and to devices on your local network.

Traveling broadcasters are embedded with the team. Moreover, the value of in-person broadcasting goes beyond tech issues and mistakes. It was first noticeable Thursday when Mike Trout’s 472-foot home run nearly completed its path before Vasgersian acknowledged the contact. Viewers were seeing the game feed several seconds before Vasgersian called it. The results the past four games were disastrous. Vasgersian has two years remaining on his MLB Network contract, which requires him to be in New York, and thus prevents him from being able to commit to working full-time in California for the Angels. Pretty much every TV and radio booth is on the road full-time - save for the Orioles and Nationals, both run by MASN. Remote broadcasting was justifiable in 2021 because of the pandemic. Now it’s O’Neal, the team’s pregame and postgame analyst. Rich Waltz was pushed out after the 2021 campaign. Daron Sutton was fired mid-season last year. In the last year, they’ve burned through two and are onto a third. The then-lead play-by-play voice on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.īut given his time restraints, they needed a secondary voice.

And yeah, I don’t like the idea of that.”įirst, some background. So if your work is being criticized and clowned on, that stinks. “My frustration is high,” Vasgersian told The Athletic on Saturday. In-person broadcasts have to become a matter of policy. That cannot be a temporary band-aid, though. And after four games of mistakes, the Angels and Bally Sports made a last-minute pivot to send secondary play-by-play broadcaster Patrick O’Neal and analyst Mark Gubicza to call the team’s next series in Houston in person, a source told The Athletic. This local telecast has turned into a nightly embarrassment. The Angels’ remote TV broadcast was always a bad, poorly thought-out idea.
published the first study examining this issue, conducting a retrospective chart review of 1,239 patients who underwent MMS by one of 2 surgeons. Ī major area of investigation regarding aseptic practices in dermatology has been centered on the use of sterile vs clean gloves during dermatologic procedures ( Table 2). Despite the low incidence of strict aseptic technique use among dermatologists, the rate of surgical site infections in dermatologic surgery remain incredibly low (0.07% to 5%). ![]() In addition, Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is typically considered a clean procedure rather than a sterile procedure because patients move between procedure and waiting rooms, covering their wound with a nonsterile bandage. Smaller procedures, such as shave or punch biopsies and curettage, use the clean technique. Asepsis for these procedures is different than general surgery, however, because while sterile materials and gloves are used, there is no regulation in regard to foot traffic, airflow, or surgical scrub. When aseptic techniques are employed, they are generally used for excisional surgeries, flaps, grafts, and Mohs repairs. For example, only 35% of respondents reported utilizing a preoperative hand scrub before Mohs Surgery. A survey regarding perioperative antiseptic practices among members of the American College of Mohs Surgery showed that many traditional aseptic techniques are not used among dermatologists. With a shortage of scientific data, dermatologists must personally decide for themselves the degree of sterility they would like to practice during procedures. In contrast to the traditional operating room, dermatology offices do not have strict requirements on the use of sterile technique during dermatologic surgeries, and without ventilatory systems, achieving a truly sterile environment is impossible in dermatology offices. In addition, the operating room must also have high-efficiency particulate air filters and directional airflow to minimize airborne infection. While exact practices may vary at each institution, sterile technique in an operating room generally includes environmental cleaning, hand hygiene, preoperative skin preparation, sterile surgical attire, and maintaining a sterile surgical field. ![]() Multiple, extensive guidelines have been published regarding proper sterile technique during surgery. The practice of antisepsis in the surgical operating room involves the adoption of strict sterile techniques. ![]() ![]() Future prospective, randomized trials analyzing various components of the aseptic technique in dermatology are greatly needed so that guidelines can be established for practicing dermatologists. However, data on the feasibility of a clean protocol for Mohs reconstruction is conflicting. In addition, for some outpatient procedures, such as for minor excisions and Mohs surgery before reconstruction, elements of the clean technique can be used without increasing infection rates. Our review highlights that most dermatology procedures are not performed under completely sterile conditions due to the lack of environmental and foot traffic controls in dermatology offices. Included are studies examining optimal glove type, surgical instruments, skin antisepsis, and cost-reducing protocols. This review aims to clarify the terminology surrounding surgical asepsis and examines the importance of various components of the aseptic technique in cutaneous surgery. Dermatologic procedures are performed under varying degrees of antisepsis, and no clear guidelines exist regarding the role of the aseptic technique in dermatology. ![]() Visualize a chemically intelligent drawing interface that provides a portal to an entire range of analytical tools, and facilitates the transformation of structural or analytical data into professional, easy-to-decipher reports or presentations The most popular tool for constrained and unconstrained ordination in ecological applications.ĬDBurnerXP is a free application to burn CDs and DVDs, including Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation application unifies and streamlines the planning, budgeting, and forecasting process and can enable a faster closeĬ2 is a Microsoft Windows program for analysing and visualising palaeoenvironmental data.Ĭamtasia Studio is a screen video capture programĬanoDraw supports thoroughly all the visual aspects of multivariate data analysis with linear and unimodal ordination methods Bioconductor uses the R statistical programming language - see below for information about R on Legion.

In August 2018, they finally approved the Falcon 9 for this “load and go” style of fueling for human flight. NASA did not want SpaceX to fuel the rocket with passengers on board, because as we saw earlier things can go wrong during this phase. This reduces the amount of fuel that will be vaporised but also makes the job of getting the Falcon 9 certified for human payloads a bit of a nightmare. To prevent major boil off of the fuel, the fuel is loaded as late as possible. However, the Falcon-9 fuel tanks are not insulated. Related Articles: How Will SpaceX Send Human To Mars And Reduce Cost Of Space Travel? How Does Falcon 9 Work? To minimise this problem, rocket fuel tanks are often sprayed with foam insulation, that’s what gave the external tank of the space shuttle it’s distinctive orange colour, but this adds a substantial amount of mass itself, which in turn decreases the weight saving benefits aluminium provides. ![]() This can vaporise the fuel, which requires boil-off valves to vent the vaporised fuel. Aluminium has a much higher thermal conductivity than steel and thus can conduct heat from its surroundings into the cryogenic fuel much faster. Something you may not consider is things like thermal conductivity. Well, strength to weight ratios is not the only factor engineers have to consider. ![]() Steel is typically 2.5 times heavier than aluminium, but it is not 2.5 times stronger. Looking at this it’s pretty clear that steel adds a significant amount of weight, while not adding a proportional amount of strength. Plotting the strength of the material against its density. We can visualize these strength to weight ratios on a graph like this. Specifically with the materials available to us that have the highest strength to weight ratios. Our choice of material for aviation and aerospace applications has evolved with our mastery of material science. This strengthens all rocket tanks allowing their thickness to be minimised, but this application took it to the extreme to make up for steels density. Pressurisation adds strength to pressure vessels as the pressure provides a restoring force for small deformations, so if the metal attempts to bend inwards the internal pressure pushes it back out. In one infamous case on May 11th, 1963, an Atlas Agena D lost pressurization on the launch pad, allowing the weight of the upper stage to buckle the thin steel.

As they were structurally unstable when unpressurized. In those days aluminium alloying material science hadn’t quite developed far enough and the engineers of the Atlas rockets instead opted to use extremely thin stainless steel for their propellant tanks, varying from 2.5 millimetres to about 10 millimetres. And those Atlas rockets were made of stainless steel. WD-40 was originally developed to displace water, which is where its name comes from, to protect the metal tanks of the Atlas rockets from rusting, because they weren’t painted to save weight. Every kilogram matters and engineers have come up with some innovative ways to reduce weight. Reducing the weight of the launch vehicle is an art form in rocket science. ![]() Making it unsuitable for flight structures.

Also, the moiré effect can be used for other purposes, such as the moiré interferometry, 40 – 42 the moiré deflectometry, 43 the optical alignment, 44, 45 the visual security (cryptography), 46, 47 and many other applications. The first solution of this previously unknown moiré problem was proposed in Ref. In contrast, it appears to be possible to arrange the moiré patterns so the resulting pattern would carry useful informational content (including 3-D). 27 – 31 An inverse problem is to find the position (shape) of another grating based on the observed moiré patterns when positions of an observer and of one grating are known together with the parameters of the grating this is a topic of the 3-D shape measurement. 26įinding characteristics of patterns based on the layouts of the layers is a direct problem. The moiré effect was observed not only under visible light but also under rays and beams of different nature, for instance, in electron beams, 23 infrared light, 24 and x-rays, 25 as well as at the nanoscale in graphene layers. This is especially important for autostereoscopic 3-D displays, 15 – 23 where the moiré effect may often occur due to their typical design. The necessity of the minimization of the moiré patterns in three-dimensional (3-D) displays was first stated 14 in the early 2000s. 12, 13 The elimination or the reduction of the moiré patterns in displays is an important issue of improvement in the visual quality. Such additional visual background decreases the contrast on the display screen and consequently reduces the image quality therefore in imaging and displays, the moiré effect is an undesirable adverse visual effect. In visual displays, the moiré effect may create an unwanted and sometimes unexpected image of bands (as in Fig. 1) or patterns (as in Fig. 3). The examples of static displays are a printed picture or photograph, poster, and postcard. The dynamic displays are CRT TV, LCD, and OLED. Generally speaking, visual displays can be either dynamic or static. Same period of moiré patterns in (a) square and (b) hexagonal grids of identical periods. |
