The MIDAS-AT Advantage An international firm (headquartered in Houston, Texas, USA) providing engineering, and technological services for analyzing and managing hazards, risk, and safety as well as minimizing environmental impacts. Their air dispersion models, offered from their office in Bethesda, Maryland are for routine and accidental airborne releases. Versions available are quickrunning plume model, urban dispersion model and inside building model. http://www.absconsulting.com/midas/advantage.html
Extractions: All-in-one System Models the full spectrum of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and Toxic Industrial Chemical releases. Easy to Use The MIDAS-AT Graphical User Interface was developed for the user to allow easy scenario input by prompting for incident characteristics using a top-down event tree approach. Many users are first responders, emergency officials and military personnel who need to build a scenario quickly to obtain a quantitative, visual representation of the situation at hand. Scalable and Flexible MIDAS-AT can be configured to meet many different user requirements. All versions feature an innovative field-tested, interactive graphical user interface. Live displays of hazardous areas on local maps based on real-time data are one of MIDAS-AT's key features. Dispersion Models Results are based on atmospheric dispersion models tailored for the release conditions, whether they are in open flat terrain, in an urban area with tall buildings, or inside a building.

The Viaduct Framework A use case centric framework for building a presentation layer for Java applications. The framework enforces the modelview-controller pattern and provides additional services for internationalization, templating and validation. Open source, LGPL http://viaduct.sourceforge.net/
Extractions: Resources Viaduct is a framework for building a presentation layer for java applications. It is use case centric; the semantics of the UML specification for use cases are used to provide an intuitive transition from requirements to implementation. A web application is modelled as a network (i.e. a directed acyclic graph) of use cases and each use case itself is modelled as a state machine. The framework enforces the model-view-controller pattern and provides additional services for internationalization, templating and validation. Consider the following: Use Cases are used to model the behavior of a system by specifying the interactions of the actors (i.e., users playing a role) with the system. A use case also includes possible variants of this sequence, e.g. alternative sequences, exceptional behavior, error handling etc. The complete set of use cases specifies all different ways to use the system, i.e. all behavior of the system is expressed by its use cases. Along with other possible requirements artifacts (such as screen layouts, data dictionary etc), these are the primary inputs for the subsequent phases in the software development workflow. Large applications are layered into several layers, each with a distinct responsibility. Of these

Extractions: Next: INTRODUCTION CURIOUS MODEL-BUILDING CONTROL SYSTEMS In Proc. International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Singapore, volume 2, pages 1458-1463. IEEE, 1991. A controller is a device which receives inputs from a (dynamic) environment and produces outputs that manipulate the environmental state. A model-building control system is a controller with an additional module (the `world model') which is trained to predict future inputs from previous input/action pairs. The novel curious model-building control system described in this paper is a model-building control system which actively tries to provoke situations for which it learned to expect to learn something about the environment. Such a system has been implemented as a 4-network system based on Watkins' Q-learning algorithm which can be used to maximize the expectation of the temporal derivative of the adaptive assumed reliability of future predictions . An experiment with an artificial non-deterministic environment demonstrates that the system can be superior to previous model-building control systems (the latter do not address the problem of modelling the reliability of the world model's predictions in uncertain environments and use ad-hoc methods (like random search) to train the world model).

Extractions: Main Weblog Page Main Website Page Rules of the Road Main As an exercise in clarification of thoughtor is it procrastination? or p****** into the wind?I've tried to set down all the analytically sustainable positions on the relationship between equity returns and economic growth. The .pdf version. The conclusions? That you can reconcile current 1.7% dividend yields, the SSA's 1.9% forecast GDP growth rate, and the SSA's 6.5% forecast stock-market return if and only if one of the following four scenarios is true: A substantial decline in the stock market in the near future to push dividend yields back up to the levels they need to be. Stagnant wages and a permanent jump in the profit share to push dividend yields up to the levels they need to be. A large jump in firm payouts, supported by the fact that accounting earnings are massively understated. A long-run trade surplus of 6% of GDP.

IUOM: Resources: Balsa Structure Tips Has specific advice for IOUM competitions, but also general model bridge building tips. http://php.indiana.edu/~iuom/structure.html
Extractions: Design and plan your structure Start simple! Draw out your designs first thinking about what will happen when you place weight on the top of the structure. When building, take the time to do things right, don't try to rush, be precise, don't be sloppy with the glue bottle! Think about what size and weight of wood you will use for each piece. Try to get your structure as close to the weight limit as you can. The more wood you can put in it, the more it should be able to hold; however, this does not mean that the structure with the most wood will hold the most. Structure Sizes Deciding how wide to make a structure is a difficult task. You must consider that the wider the structure, the more it will weigh with the extra bracing. However, if a structure is too narrow, it may lose some stability. Also, do not push the height limit to the maximum. The shorter the structure the better. Remember: Minimum of 8"! The shorter the structure the less you have to brace, and the wood that is not used saves weight. Wood sizes and amounts Balsa wood's weight Two 36" sticks of balsa wood 1/8" square may weigh as much as 4 grams, or as little as .5 grams. Also, balsa wood absorbs water from the air. Dry wood weighs less, wet wood weighs more. Think about ways you could get the structure to lose some of the excess water.
