A radiant barrier reduces the radiant heat transfer from the underside of the roof to the other surfaces in the attic.Ī radiant barrier works best when it is perpendicular to the radiant energy striking it. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces, including the air ducts and the attic floor. Much of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. When the sun heats a roof, it's primarily the sun's radiant energy that makes the roof hot. The radiant barrier should be installed in a manner to minimize dust accumulation on the reflective surface. ![]() Dust accumulation on the reflective surface will reduce its reflective capability. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. ![]() Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and - to a lesser extent - convective heat flow. Radiant heat travels in a straight line away from any surface and heats anything solid that absorbs its energy. As the liquid or gas cools, it becomes denser and falls. Heat transfer by convection occurs when a liquid or gas - air, for example - is heated, becomes less dense, and rises. Heat flows by conduction from a hotter location within a material or assembly to a colder location, like the way a spoon placed in a hot cup of coffee conducts heat through its handle to your hand. Heat travels from a warm area to a cool area by a combination of conduction, convection, and radiation. ![]()

Higher-evolved versions of these monsters are as good or better, but less-evolved versions that aren't on the list are not worth the effort. ![]() Keep an eye out for "Godfests" in particular.īelow is a recommended list of starting pulls, current and comprehensive as of game version 7.2. Please reference the Egg Machine section on the Front Page to see what monsters you're more likely to get. The starting pull will be influenced by any Egg Machine Events currently going on.Depending on how much patience you have, you may want to just jump into the game to get a taste for it, then reroll later if you feel it is necessary. Repeatedly rerolling is a boring and soul-crushing task because most pulls from the REM are not ideal starters.To reroll: Use a tool to delete or rename the game file data048.bin, or clear your game data, or delete and reinstall the game.Starting with a weak pull won't necessarily doom your game, but you will have a much easier time (and potentially save ) in your early- to mid-game with a good starter. If you do not pull a good monster from this list, it is generally recommended to "reroll" (clear your data or uninstall P&D and start again). Because Magic Stones are easy to spend and hard to save up, this first free pull is paramount for determining how smoothly your game will progress. Your "starting pull" is the monster you pulled from the golden Rare Egg Machine (REM) during the tutorial. If you picked Tyrra, Plessie, or Brachy, your orb color will be red, blue or green, respectively. If you forgot which starter you chose, look at the colored orb next to your name in-game. Note that sometimes there are rotating daily events that only apply to accounts with a specific starter, so remember your choice in order to determine if the current day's event applies to you. If you really can't decide, the Fire-type Tyrra is slightly more advantageous because useful Fire monsters are a little easier to come by. It doesn't really matter which one you choose, and you have more opportunities to get all of them later on in the game. At the start of the game, the player is asked to select one of three Starter Dragons, Tyrra, Plessie, or Brachy. ![]() 6/20/2023 0 Comments Female vice lords![]() Those featured in the film include Bobby Gore, Kenneth "Goat" Parks, Eddy "Pepilo" Perry, Don McIlvaine, Leonard Sengali and William Franklin. ![]() This particular era of the CVL is documented in the 1970 film, Lord Thing, by Chicago filmmaker DeWitt Beall.

This attempt was successful enough that the group began to receive a large amount of positive publicity from various politicians and community leaders. They went as far as to petition for a community outreach chapter named "Conservative Vice Lord Incorporated". They developed new logos and advertised themselves as a community outreach group.

These youths met while incarcerated in the Illinois State Training School for Boys in St. In 1957, the Vice Lords gang was founded by several African American youths originally from the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago.

The actual LI in this case is 2.1, which indicates hyperemia (Fig. 2 is an obvious mistake and readers need to be cautioned from making the same error. Indeed, TAP should be compared when the Lindegaard Index (LI) is used, but comparing TAMAX/TAMEAN as is performed in Fig. 2, where in the TCCS image, TAP is correctly used, but in the transcervical insonation, TAMV is used instead of TAP. Since in TCCS, the velocity considered is the TAMAX, using TAMEAN instead of TAP leads to underestimating velocities. While both are “mean” velocities, TAMEAN is approximately half the TAMAX. Second, when moving from a bTCD technique to the Duplex technique, practitioners must be aware of the “mean velocities” recorded by the ultrasound machine: time-averaged maximum velocity, known as TAMAX or TAP and time-averaged mean velocity, also known as TAMEAN or TAMV. Note: the waveform in ( b) is consistent with an external carotid artery flow, given its sharp systolic upstroke, high-resistance velocity profile, and early diastolic notch (another mistake that should be taken into account) It is thus clearly incorrect to use different “mean velocities” when calculating the LI, such as TAP/TAMEAN. The correct Lindegaard Index (Middle cerebral artery TAP/internal carotid artery TAP) in this case is 123/58, equal to 2.1 (corresponding to hyperemia if considered independently). In TCCS, time-averaged maximum or peak velocities are the “mean” velocities that should be considered. Time-averaged mean velocity is not recorded in ( a), but is shown in ( b) as TAM, traced in the middle of the Doppler spectra (white arrow). There is also no doubt in a that is TAP, because pulsatility index (PI) is calculated using this value. As depicted from the trace of the envelope of the Doppler spectra (yellow arrows), time-averaged maximum velocity is recorded, namely, TAV (time-averaged velocity) in ( a) and TAP (time-averaged peak velocity) in ( b). ![]() Note the different and confusing nomenclature regarding “mean velocities”. Particularly in patients with a decompressive craniectomy, an alternative MLS measurement technique is well validated against CT. Practitioners should be aware that the MLS measurement by TCCS is not reliable in the presence of bone defects (like decompressive craniectomy or skull fractures), temporal cephalohematoma, or changes in intracranial anatomy secondary to trauma, citing the most common examples observed in daily practice. To the authors´ knowledge, whether methodologically correct or not, there are no study validating either of them. 1 of the original article, measuring the distance to the contralateral cranial bone is not described in the original technique, it is unnecessary and adds complexity thus, it should not be taken into account, as is the case with the mentioned “C and D” technique. ![]() While proposed by authors’ as an “internal standard”, as shown in Fig. In the first place, regarding the midline shift (MLS) measurement technique by TCCS, (A-B)/2 is well-studied and validated against CT. ![]() 6/20/2023 0 Comments Omd greatest hits full album![]() With nods to John Foxx and David Bowie, OMD overlays melodies to dramatic effect the performances are excellent. It also pays attention to ensure variation in the tunes, a problem that mars the first LP. Organisation (which originally included an excellent bonus single of early tape experiments and live tracks) introduces drummer Malcolm Holmes and ethereal synthesizer techniques that suit the depressive subject matter of “Enola Gay” and the like. Thanks to a knack for melodies and hooks, notable attractions are the catchy “Electricity” and “Messages.” Aided by Dalek I’s Andy Gill, McCluskey and Humphreys build the songs up from computer-generated rhythms, polishing the synthesizer song into a full-bodied medium. Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark is a demonstration of stylish electro-pop. Abandoning their formula after two albums, however, OMD proved capable of far more ambitious creations not tied to the apron strings of technology. They proved early on that electronics were capable of interacting comfortably with regular rock instruments and not chill the mood. Moving from electronic tape experiments to highly polished synthesizer pop and beyond, Liverpudlians Andy McCluskey (bass/vocals/keyboards) and synthesist Paul Humphreys (with other fulltime members, including - very significantly - a corporeal acoustic drummer) were among the most successful practitioners of electro-pop, as first demonstrated by a delightful string of singles.

I wish it had something like Hades’ God Mode, but I’ve found myself saying that about a lot of Roguelikes lately. ![]() If you know someone that wants to get into Roguelikes at a slow pace, this is also an easy game to understand. If you have a friend that likes Roguelikes, or you like them yourself, this is a great one to buy as a gift or just to try. Is this my favorite Roguelike ever? No, but it is one of the better ones I’ve played in recent years. ![]() The visuals are fun, the characters are fun, the storyline is somewhat lacking, but I don’t really think that storyline is the point of the game really. Hades is a great game for its storyline and customizable playstyles, while UnderMine is great for relaxed, deep progression and versatility in runs. They are two very different experiences, but UnderMine is enjoyable on a more laid-back, chill basis. Honestly, I could easily see myself dumping hundreds of hours into UnderMine, much in the same way that I’ve done with Hades. However, you’ll need to fight each boss a few times (most likely) in order to learn the best methods to succeed. With the right mix of Relics, you could easily far surpass your previous record in terms of how deep you get into UnderMine, even with few permanent upgrades under your belt. UnderMine really evokes comparisons to The Binding of Isaac in its Relics (items) which can synergize with other items to make really powerful runs. Runs take more time as you progress, but there is even a bit of a “fast travel” you can unlock later on to reach lower floors faster. You lose a portion of your money when you die, akin to Rogue Legacy, but even this can be upgraded over time.Īfter playing other Roguelikes with shall we say… minimalist progression systems, UnderMine is a breath of fresh air. Every run lets you come back up top and buy upgrades, new items, and ultimately prepare for your next journey down. Overall, this sense of progression is something that permeates UnderMine. Once you’ve crafted them, they will appear in future runs. You also find blueprints for items that you can craft. There are things such as curses, blessings, and all sorts of unique bosses that you discover over time. Every run is a learning experience.Īs you progress further, other mechanics make themselves apparent, which is a testament to UnderMine’s period in Early Access on PC. Learning how to interact with the environment, solve puzzles, discover treasure, and defeat the myriad of enemies in the UnderMine is important. You can jump, swing a pickaxe, throw your pickaxe, and drop bombs among other things. The controls are simple in theory but take some time to master. Some of them will offer you upgrades you can buy for gold, while others may help you purchase or craft things to make subsequent runs better. ![]() Along the way, you will find people who have been lost in the mine, who will return to the surface and help you on subsequent runs. In UnderMine, you play a Peasant that is delving into the titular underground mine to uncover its secrets. UnderMine actually brings me back to the days of early Roguelikes like The Binding of Isaac but with some quality of life improvements in terms of progression. I’ve also been playing other Roguelikes and just trying to see what the best games in the genre are right now. I played a lot of Hades over the holidays, and I’m still trying to make my way through the endgame of it. I have really been on a Roguelike kick lately. ![]() ![]()
![]() On OCT, a stage 1 hole appears as a cystic lesion in the inner layers of the retina ( Figure 3). Since its introduction, OCT has been an extremely useful tool for diagnosing and staging macular holes. Stage 1 macular holes are difficult to diagnose by slit lamp biomicroscopic examination alone, leading to a lot of subjective variation in diagnosis. The earliest stage is an impending hole, characterized by a yellow spot (stage 1a) or a yellow ring (stage 1b) at the fovea. Classification of macular holes and OCTĮvolution of macular hole and clinical appearance of the different stages of its development has been described by Gass. ![]() OCT is now used to guide management of macular holes based on various parameters, as highlighted in the subsequent sections.Ģ. It is helpful in detecting subtle early MHs as well as staging the more obvious and larger ones. The high-resolution imaging on OCT allows cross-sectional and three-dimensional evaluation of the macula, thereby providing far greater details than what can be discerned clinically. Since its development, OCT is the gold standard in the diagnosis and management of this condition. The depth resolution of OCT is typically of the order of 0.4 thousandth of an inch.Ī macular hole is defined as a full-thickness defect of retinal tissue involving the anatomic fovea and primarily the foveola of the eye ( Figures 1a, b and 2). OCT is akin to noninvasive tissue “biopsy”-it provides in vivo cross-sectional views (tomography) of internal tissue structures similar to tissue sections under a microscope. In addition to measuring transverse dimensions, it also resolves depth. OCT is based on the imaging of reflected light. Prior to its development, clinical biomicroscopic examination using the slit lamp was the mainstay for retinal structural assessment. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was developed by David Huang and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As the technology continues to improve, OCT has become indispensable for all aspects of patient care for macular holes. Postoperatively, OCT is extremely useful for documenting serial changes in the foveal architecture and is helpful in correlating functional and anatomic outcomes. Intraoperative OCT (iOCT) can identify intraoperative changes in the macular anatomy during surgery that can influence functional outcomes. OCT is useful to prognosticate cases, thereby facilitating discussions with patients and managing visual expectations preoperatively. This information enables early diagnosis and can guide the intervention of choice when treatment is deemed necessary. The cross-sectional view produced by OCT effectively distinguishes full-thickness macular holes from mimicking conditions like lamellar holes, macular pseudoholes, and cysts, which may sometimes be difficult to differentiate clinically. The tomographic information provided by OCT, akin to an in vivo biopsy, has led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of hole formation. ![]() OCT is crucial in assessing fellow eyes of patients with a macular hole to detect preclinical changes leading to subsequent hole formation. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, diagnostic technique for accurately identifying and quantitatively characterizing macular holes. ![]() 6/19/2023 0 Comments Minions paradise gra![]() ![]() After escaping the torture room, the trio makes it to Scarlet's coronation at Westminster Abbey, where Stuart and Bob accidentally drop a chandelier on her.
