These are locations that love to form cracks. They create stress concentrations, which is as bad as it sounds. As the study of cracking grew, engineers learned that corners are bad for design. ![]() It was determined that cracks at square window cutouts grew large enough to cause problems. The aerospace industry found this out with the de Havilland Comet, a commercial airplane that had several crashes due to catastrophic cracks. Instead of getting irritable and needing a nap, structures tend to crack and need repairs. The varying levels of force have an effect on structure known as fatigue. Practical starships would be either spherical or cylindrical, and most likely a combination of the two shapes.Īdd in maneuvers, environmental changes, gravitational fluctuations, weight modifications, pressurization cycles at airlocks, etc., and it’s easy to see that spaceships undergo a lot of force. Aerodynamics and fluid dynamics are why the body of airplanes and submarines are cylinders. But inside a planet’s atmosphere the sphere is limiting. The best shape for pressurization is a sphere in the sphere, the pressure pushes equally in all directions. ![]() Propane tanks for the grill and helium tanks for blowing up balloons are rounded because it is the most efficient design to hold the pressure inside. In engineering terms, the structure is pressurized.Īirplanes – at least the portion with people inside – and submarines are vehicles that undergo pressurization, and in general, these craft have a rounded shape. This means that even when not moving, the ship’s structure has a certain amount of force applied to it. Logically, the hull is pressing back on the atmosphere to keep it contained. Because of the imbalance in pressure outside and inside, the ship’s atmosphere is pushing on the hull, trying to equalize. Inside the ship, the atmosphere must operate at homeworld standard pressure or, at least, a pressure that supports life. In other words, spacecraft are big balloons. The structure must be sealed tight and not leak. Outside the spacecraft is the vacuum of space. In order to support life within a starship, it must contain atmosphere for the passengers. Shape, windows, and manned fighters are the easiest and most pertinent changes to make. To make practical spacecraft, lessons from current design’s failures need to be studied. This is accomplished by having great engineers, and the discipline of engineering is based on learning from failure. Rather than having to repair poor designs, ship operators would want to get the most use possible with the least downtime. Physics would still apply to post-scarcity societies. ![]() They’re made to elicit that feeling of awe, but a ship designed from the viewpoint of economics 1 and efficiency would be rather boring. ![]() From a practical standpoint, most starships in SF are poorly designed. Really, who doesn’t? From the Minbari Sharlin to the Empire’s Star Destroyers to the Borg Cube to the Heart of Gold, aesthetics rule. Science fiction loves a beautiful starship.

Thus, the matrix exponential converts a continuous-time system into a discrete iterative system. This article demonstrates two useful properties of the matrix exponential.įirst, it can be used as a "one-step" operator that enables you to generate points along a trajectory by iterating an initial state. In elementary courses on differential equations, it is often presented either as a formal power series of matrices or as a concise notation that represents the general solution of a linear system of ODEs. This article discusses the matrix exponential operator. Notice that the entire graph is produced by using one matrix multiplication there are no loops.

The matrix exponential function is a mapping from the set of square matrices to the set of invertible matrices. This article discusses the exponential of a matrix: what it is, how to compute it, why it is useful, and why you should think of it as a linear map that converts a continuous system of differential equations into a discrete iterative process. In SAS, you can approximate the exponential of a matrix by using the EXPMATRIX function in SAS IML software. ![]() They received their Animal Jam: Play Wild! counterpart on December 5, 2018.A similar glitch occurred in March 2018 when they were available for 3 Diamonds. ![]() It was released as one of the Monthly Member Gifts for the month of March 2013.

Upgrading the connection means you roof is much less likely to blow off or suffer severe damage in a hurricane, and what that additional level of safety for your home and your family is worth to you.Īlthough the maximum discount allowed for roof-to-wall connections is about 35%, it can be much less-depending on the insurance company and the other hurricane-resistant details of your home. But the second factor is the hurricane-resistance of your house. The first is the number of years it will take for the insurance discount to pay back how much you spent, which may be more than a decade in some cases. ![]() Is the cost worth it? There are two factors to consider. The price can vary between $1,000 and $4,000-plus. The fix can be as simple as adding a third nail to each truss or rafter connection in the attic, or as complicated as having to remove the soffit all around the house and installing new connectors from outside, then replacing the soffit. It is possible to do a retrofit and upgrade the connections to get the discount and there are contractors around Florida that specialize in it. So if it doesn’t meet all these standards, even if only at one or two locations, the discount is voided and the inspector must mark the connection as equivalent to toe nailed. The inspector must rate it based on the weakest connection. No visible severe corrosion of the connectors.Less than 1/2” sideways gap between connection points.The connector must be attached to the truss or rafter with a minimum of three nails. ![]() A metal connector clip or strap must be installed from the wall to every truss or rafter.When you have a wood roof structure like most homes, then it must meet the following four criteria for the discount: See our blog post What does toe-nailing mean? if you are not familiar with the term. But it does indicate that the roof structure connection is inadequate by today’s standards. It does not necessarily mean that your roof has been toe-nailed to the wall below, although most pre-1960 houses are done that way. It appears the best solution is to build interior walls ½” below the ceiling framing line, then use a Simpson Strongtie STC roof truss clip which keeps the trusses in alignment, while allowing for vertical movement of the roof truss.īy the use of drywall clips to attach the edges of the drywall and holding the first drywall screw back from the edges of the gypsum wallboard, allow the sheetrock to flex and minimizes the possibilities of cracking the drywall joints.You lose a big discount-up to 35% off your windstorm insurance cost-if the inspector marks the box for Toe Nails on Section 4 - Roof To Wall Attachment of Florida's wind mitigation inspection form ( Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, OIR-B1-1802). I now have more than my share of cracked drywall joints due to variances in contraction and expansion.Ī Hansen Pole Buildings’ client recently asked about how we recommend attaching interior walls to trusses – even knowing our post frame building kit packages typically the exterior shells only, no interior walls. We have very few interior walls, however those which are full height had the truss bottom chords nailed to them. I’ve got some of them in our home in South Dakota, compounded by the slight deflection in the 48 foot span floor trusses. Well, it turns out there are some potential issues. Prefabricated trusses were still relatively new and were most generally treated like rafters and ceiling joists had been in hand stacked roofs. ![]() This included all of the non-load bearing interior walls as well as the exterior.īack in the 70’s (before most of you were born) not much consideration was given, in stick frame construction, to varying degrees of expansion and contraction of different components. When I worked for Dad and the uncles as a teenager, it was Uncle Gil who would go out on Saturdays and mark all of the top plates, in preparation for Monday morning’s roof truss deliveries. Seemingly Uncle Gil was just as at home and comfortable walking walls 50 feet in the air, as most of us are walking around our houses. Dad would tell stories of Gil walking up beams set at an 8/12 roof slope and swore Gil was part cat. My dad was the oldest, and I cannot begin to count the number of times he spoke highly of his younger brother Gil’s abilities to walk up nearly anything. My long time readers have heard the stories of my framing contractor father and uncles. ![]() paranoia paranoia querulans paranoid psychosis paranoid schizophrenia paranoid state ICD-10-CM.

![]() The article clearly illustrates London's points, but does not explore their implications, leaving the reader with many unanswered questions. He doesn't refer to any previous works on the topic however, for a different point of view, one should refer to Joseph Patterson's, "Television is Truth" ( The Journal of Television 45 (6) November/December 1995: 120-135).London's style and vocabulary would make the article of interest to any reader. His examples have been selected to contradict such truisms as: "seeing is believing" "a picture is worth a thousand words" and "satisfaction is its own reward." London uses logical arguments to support his ideas which are his personal opinion. He uses specific examples of events seen on television, such as the assassination of John Kennedy, to illustrate his points.

They can get sick from germs that do not infect people with normal working immune systems, leading to the signs and symptoms of the condition. If the immune system is absent or weak, your baby’s body has trouble fighting infections. This condition is also called Omenn syndrome. ![]() Unlike typical SCID, babies with leaky SCID may have small numbers of T cells, or only have T cells that do not work normally. The most severe type of SCID is referred to as classic or typical SCID.Īnother form of the condition is called leaky SCID. In all causes of SCID, a change in the baby’s genes leads to similar problems with their immune system. There are also many other rare causes of SCID. This type of SCID is placed in the category T-B-NK- SCID. Without working adenosine deaminase enzymes, these toxic products build up and kill all lymphocytes – T, B, and NK cells. This enzyme helps remove toxic substances in cells that can destroy lymphocytes. This type of SCID is in a category called T-B+NK- SCID, named after the types of lymphocytes affected.ĪDA deficiency occurs when the enzyme adenosine deaminase is not made correctly. B cells are present, but they cannot work as well without help from the T cells. In this condition, a protein needed to make normal T cells and NK cells is absent or nonworking. That is because a boy with the condition, David Vetter, lived in a plastic enclosure for 12 years before the availability of current treatments. X-linked SCID occurs mostly in boys and is also called “bubble-boy” disease. The most common types of SCID are X-linked SCID and adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency. The type of SCID your baby has depends on which part of the immune system is problematic. In SCID, these T cells, B cells, or NK cells are absent or do not work correctly. Lymphocytes include T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. The immune system uses white blood cells called lymphocytes to fight against germs that invade the body. We need the immune system to fight infections. Severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) are a group of genetic conditions where a baby is born with a nonworking or poorly working immune system. Decreased or absent T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) What is Severe combined immunodeficiencies ![]() I do, however, miss the covered eye holes. For a piece borrowed from an earlier era of the Joe line’s history, it fits surprisingly well on a modern style figure. The helmet is recycled from the DTC version of the Range Viper made towards the end of the Joe Vs. ![]() Of course, I’m never taking my Range Viper’s skull helmet off, so I don’t have to acknowledge that, once again, Cobra hit up Balaclavas’R’Us and bought out all the blue ones now, too. It’s something we’ve seen quite a few times already, but it at least works well with the helmet. Since he’s a Cobra trooper with a removable helmet, Range Viper reuses Beachhead’s head. I think it really added a bit to the Range Viper’s realism…well, as much realism as you can get from a trooper that wears a scary skull helmet into battle. When you’re out in the field and everything is based around on-site procurement, you’re going to want to make sure you don’t accidentally injure yourself while you’re out of range from the base for weeks at a time. A wilderness trooper would want to travel light, but at the same time, they’d want some added protection. I also like the added armor on the figure’s arms. I’m glad they used this as opposed to the Beachhead commando sweater look it was getting pretty stale by this point in the line. Range Viper’s upper body is shared with the really great 25th Anniversary Resolute Cobra Trooper. The parts used aren’t an exact translation of the original Range Viper’s look, but I think this design works a lot better than the original Range Viper, with his short, flared gloves and tight blue undershirt. The 25th Anniversary Range Viper is another one of those “spiritual” updates that populated the 25th Anniversary line. I missed out on the DTC update, but I’m really glad Hasbro gave Cobra’s wilderness survival specialist some attention in the Defense of Cobra Island set. That freaky helmet really spoke to my kid brain. One that really sticks out in my mind was the Range Viper. ![]() I always liked the more fantastical elements of the Joe line and, generally speaking, the Cobra figures were allowed to be a little more offbeat than the Joes. Don’t get me wrong, the Joe characters were great, but I thought the Cobra figures looked more striking. I don’t know why, but I’ve always had more of an affinity for the Cobra figures than the Joes. ![]() And although the final results will surely be positive, the time frame of this tattoo is quite long, so be sure to prepare accordingly. ![]() Symbols related to life and death can be a great way to expand the illustration. Grim Reaper Sleeve the sketch of a Grim Reaper is monumental in itself, the graphic can be demonstrated with multiple layers of promising elements with the help of a sleeve tattoo. While adding black and grey is a must, one can also add more exciting colours in the background to bring more attention to the figure. The best way to enhance the elements of this design is through colours, preferably those that qualify as solid hues. The back offers tons of space for creation, containing layers of fat that can protect the wearer from a painful creative process. Grim Reaper Back Grim Reaper tattoo often looks best when the design runs big and contains promising shades of colours, both of which can be showcased and curated on a back tattoo. While wearing it as a bicep tattoo can be one good way to display this design, one may also resort to a sleeve tattoo for maximum success. The graphic contains sharp components curated with a fine-line needle, which is then faded using a blending magnum needle and sealed with a shading technique. Realistic Grim Reaper a striking shading technique, one can also go for a realistic Grim Reaper tattoo, which can easily make the wearer the centre of attention at any given time. While the leading component is the tool and cloak of the Grim Reaper, the best part about the colour scheme is the red and orange shades of colour. The graphic is less intimidating than the original design, offering a lighthearted aura in contrast to the intensely dark theme of an average Grim Reaper tattoo. To discover the ways in which you can curate a Grim Reaper tattoo, be sure to give the following entries a view! Traditional Grim Reaper the staple design of a Grim Reaper tattoo often includes shades of black and grey or comprises the visuals of a blackwork tattoo, one can easily stand out with the help of colours, with this traditional Grim Reaper tattoo. While the illustration is quite stubborn to change, a Grim Reaper tattoo is quite compatible with other symbols and tattoos, being music to the ears of those fascinated by multipurpose tattoos. Additionally, the graphic of the Grim Reaper is immensely basic, making it the perfect option for beginners and newbies with a knack for body modifications. The symbolism of Grim Reaper tattoos is quite transparent. Grim Reaper Tattoos Gravitating Towards Life And Death Since the responsibilities of a Grim Reaper are limitless, he often moves on to the next task seconds after dealing with the objective at hand. Once a soul passes away, the Grim Reaper is known for slashing the spirit with its scythe, known for being as powerful as four deadly weapons. Although the symbol is perceived cynically in the eyes of tattoo enthusiasts, a minor portion of the demographic also acknowledges it as a neutral symbol, believing that it is neither good nor evil, but just a spirit of nature. Unveiling The Curious Meaning Behind Grim Reaper push comes to shove, a Grim Reaper tattoo carries the same attributes and influence as the Grim Reaper, conveying messages and orchestrating actions related to death.
