Delta and theta oscillatory activity in human information processing. International Journal Of Psychophysiology, 108, (pp. 22-22).. Abstract. Previous studies showed that event related EEG delta coherence increased upon application of cognitive load in healthy young subjects. The decrease of delta coherence in Alzheimer’s disease patients was reported in comparison to healthy controls during cognitive load. However, when the stimulation was just visual sensory no differences between healthy controls and Alzheimer patients were found (Başar et al. 2010, Güntekin et al. 2008). The present study aims to analyze event related delta coherence in patients with Parkinson’s disease with and without cognitive deficits during application of visual oddball paradigm.

Lesson Title: Delta and Theta Oscillatory Activity in Human Information Processing

Overview:
In this lesson, we will learn about delta and theta oscillatory activity in human information processing. We will explore the role of these brain waves in cognitive processes and how they are affected by various factors such as cognitive load, age, and neurological disorders.

Level: Primary School

Section 1: Introduction to Delta and Theta Oscillatory Activity

**Delta Waves**
- Delta waves are slow brain waves that occur during deep sleep and in stages 3 and 4 of non-REM sleep.
- They have a frequency of 0.5 to 4 Hz.
- Delta waves are associated with deep relaxation, healing, and regeneration.

**Theta Waves**
- Theta waves are faster than delta waves and occur during light sleep, drowsiness, and REM sleep.
- They have a frequency of 4 to 8 Hz.
- Theta waves are associated with memory consolidation, creativity, and intuition.

Section 2: The Role of Delta and Theta Waves in Cognitive Processes

**Cognitive Load**
- Cognitive load refers to the amount of mental effort required to complete a task.
- When there is a high cognitive load, the brain needs more energy and resources to process information.
- Studies have shown that delta coherence increases during periods of high cognitive load.

**Age**
- As people age, the amplitude of delta and theta waves decreases.
- This can lead to difficulties in processing information and memory loss.

**Neurological Disorders**
- Some neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, affect the amplitude and coherence of delta and theta waves.
- In Alzheimer's patients, delta coherence decreases, making it harder for them to process information.

Section 3: Applying Knowledge to Real-World Scenarios

**Example 1**
- Imagine you are studying for an exam and need to memorize a lot of information. You can use techniques such as mnemonic devices or repetition to help consolidate the information into your long-term memory.
- During the exam, if you encounter a question that you don't know the answer to, you can use your working memory to think critically about the problem and come up with a solution.

**Example 2**
- If you are trying to fall asleep, you can try listening to sounds that have a delta frequency, such as white noise or nature sounds. This can help your brain produce more delta waves and enter a deeper state of relaxation.

Glossary:
- Delta waves: slow brain waves that occur during deep sleep and in stages 3 and 4 of non-REM sleep
- Theta waves: faster brain waves that occur during light sleep, drowsiness, and REM sleep
- Cognitive load: the amount of mental effort required to complete a task
- Amplitude: the height of a wave from its base to its crest
- Coherence: the degree of organization or correlation among the components of a wave

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about delta and theta oscillatory activity in human information processing. We explored how these brain waves are involved in cognitive processes and how they can be affected by various factors such as age and neurological disorders. We also applied our knowledge to real-world scenarios to demonstrate how understanding delta and theta waves can help us in everyday life. By learning about these brain waves, we can better understand the complex processes that occur in our brains and how they affect our daily lives.

Progress Bar not updating

I have the following piece of code to write data to an XML file.
private void WriteResidentData()
{
    int count = 1;
    status = "Writing XML files";
    foreach (Site site in sites)
    {
            try
            {
                //Create the XML file
                StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(path + "\\sites\\" + site.title + ".xml");
                writer.WriteLine("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\" ?>");
                writer.WriteLine("<customer_list>");

                foreach (Resident res in site.GetCustomers())
                {
                    bw.ReportProgress((count / customers) * 100);
                    writer.WriteLine("\t<customer>");
                    writer.WriteLine("\t\t<customer_reference>" + res.reference + "</customer_reference>");
                    writer.WriteLine("\t\t<customer_name>" + res.name + "</customer_name>");
                    writer.WriteLine("\t\t<customer_address>" + res.address + "</customer_address>");
                    writer.WriteLine("\t\t<payment_method>" + res.method + "</payment_method>");
                    writer.WriteLine("\t\t<payment_cycle>" + res.cycle + "</payment_cycle>");
                    writer.WriteLine("\t\t<registered>" + CheckWebStatus(res.reference) + "</registered>");
                    writer.WriteLine("\t</customer>");
                    count++;
                }

                writer.WriteLine("</customer_list>");
                writer.Close();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                lastException = ex;
            }
        }
    }

It's using the same BackgroundWorker that gets the data from the database. My progress bar properly displays the progress whilst it is reading from the database. However, after zeroing the progress bar for the XML writing it simply sits at 0 even though the process is completing correctly.
Can anyone suggest why?

A:

Could it be that (count / customers) is truncated to zero (division between two integers)?

A:

I think that should be (count*100)/customers, assuming you wanted a percentage complete.

Lesson: Writing XML Files

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to write data to an XML file using C#. We will use a progress bar to show the progress of the writing process.

Section 1: Theory

What is an XML file?
An XML file is a document that follows the Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard. It uses tags to organize and store data.

Why use XML?
XML is a widely used format for storing and exchanging data. It is easy to read and write, and can be used with many programming languages.

How do you create an XML file?
To create an XML file, you need to follow a few steps. First, you need to create the structure of the file by defining the elements and attributes. Then, you can add data to these elements using tags. Finally, you can close the file by adding a closing tag.

Section 2: Practice

Exercise 1: Create an XML file
Create an XML file with the following structure:
```
<customers>
    <customer>
        <name>John Doe</name>
        <age>30</age>
        <address>123 Main St.</address>
    </customer>
    <customer>
        <name>Jane Smith</name>
        <age>25</age>
        <address>456 Elm St.</address>
    </customer>
</customers>
```

Exercise 2: Add data to an existing XML file
Open the XML file created in Exercise 1 and add a new customer:
```
<customers>
    <customer>
        <name>John Doe</name>
        <age>30</age>
        <address>123 Main St.</address>
    </customer>
    <customer>
        <name>Jane Smith</name>
        <age>25</age>
        <address>456 Elm St.</address>
    </customer>
    <customer>
        <name>Bob Johnson</name>
        <age>40</age>
        <address>789 Oak St.</address>
    </customer>
</customers>
```

Exercise 3: Write data to an XML file
Use the following code to write data to an XML file:
```csharp
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
public class XMLWriter
{
    public static void WriteXML(string path, string xml)
    {
        using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(path))
        {
            writer.Write(xml);
        }
    }
}
// Example usage
string xml = "<customers> \n";
xml += "<customer> \n";
xml += "  <name>John Doe</name> \n";
xml += "  <age>30</age> \n";
xml += "  <address>123 Main St.</address> \n";
xml += "</customer> \n";
xml += "<customer> \n";
xml += "  <name>Jane Smith</name> \n";
xml += "  <age>25</age> \n";
xml += "  <address>456 Elm St.</address> \n";
xml += "</customer> \n";
XMLWriter.WriteXML("output.xml", xml);
```

Section 3: Glossary

XML - Extensible Markup Language
A markup language used for storing and exchanging data.

Tag - A keyword enclosed in angle brackets that defines a part of an element.

Attribute - A name-value pair that describes an element.

Element - A grouping of tags and attributes that represents a concept or entity.

Section 4: Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned how to write data to an XML file using C#. We also learned about the structure of XML files and how to create and modify them. By using a progress bar, we can show the progress of the writing process to the user.


text: The Health of the Bride, 1889 Irish painter Stanhope Alexander Forbes was born in Dublin on November 18, 1857. He was a founding member of the Newlyn School , which was an art colony of British artists in southwestern England that became very popular in the 1880's. They painted primarily en plein air to capture the majestic light and interesting characters of this small, modest fishing community—a theme that would recur throughout Forbes' career. What distinguishes Forbes from the rest of his artist colleagues was his naturalism, and a strong sense of narrative reminiscent of Joaquín Sorolla in being able to understand people and body language with an innate sense of group composition. I was fortunate enough to see The Health of the Bride above in Tate Britain in September and I was awed by its simple power and drama. Off to the right a sailor raises his glass to the bride and groom seated at the table while friends and family around the table are poised to sip from th

CBS took another Friday night during May sweeps and the week looks pretty much similar to last week across the board except that ABC ran an extra 20/20 instead of America's Funniest Home Videos. And FOX was again dead last, beaten out by the CW and its outgoing WWE product, Friday Night Smackdown! The CW's loss will be MyNetTV's gain.

Only CBS had any shows with a 2.0 or better in the 18-49 demographic. Ghost Whisperer (2.3/8), Moonlight (2.1/6) and Numb3rs (2.4/7) all cleared the 2.0 bar. No other shows did. Technically the 10pm hour of Dateline hit 2.0, but if you take Dateline over its full 9p-11p run, it didn't.

While not quite as awful as Saturdays its getting there other than CBS. Sure, more younger people aren't at home on Fridays, but the reason the shows other than CBS don't pull better demo numbers is the programming.

I know Marc Berman didn't have glowing things to say about on the bubble Moonlight (hey, at least he didn't call it a "loser"!). The thing Moonlight probably has going for it is fairly remarkable consistency among its fan base. A four month hiatus didn't cause a drop of 2 million viewers. If that had happened we'd be writing the obituary already. But the fans all came back. It beat everything it was up against on broadcast television and won the 18-49 demo for its timeslot. Just like last week. These are all positive signs.

The only thing that should really concern Moonlight fans is CBS thinking something like this, "OK, no matter what we stick on at 9pm it loses a million viewers from 8pm and all of them and more come back at 10pm. Can we put something on at 9pm that will perform as well as Moonlight and be cheaper?"

I'm hampered by not knowing the cost of producing Moonlight. I know they could stick on The Price is Right and it would probably do fairly consistently in viewers, but at least a little worse than Moonlight in the demographic. But you can't really syndicate repeats of game shows, or sell DVDs of game shows. You can with scripted dramas and that winds up meaning extra revenue.

So the only way I see CBS pulling the plug on Moonlight is if they think they have a scripted drama that will perform as well or better that can be made for less money. I'm more of a "a bird in the hand..." guy, but we'll have to wait just a little bit longer to see if CBS thinks as reasonably as I do.

Lesson: How to Analyze Television Ratings

Introduction:
Television ratings are an important metric used to determine the popularity and success of television programs. In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze television ratings and understand the factors that contribute to high or low ratings.

Section 1: Understanding Television Ratings

Topic 1: What are Television Ratings?
Television ratings are the measurement of how many people watch a particular television program. These ratings are used by advertisers and networks to determine the value of airing their commercials or shows on specific channels.

Topic 2: How are Television Ratings Measured?
Television ratings are measured using a system called the Nielsen rating system. This system involves the use of a small sample of households with special devices that record the channel being watched. The data collected is then extrapolated to represent the entire population.

Topic 3: What do Television Ratings Mean?
Television ratings are usually reported as a percentage or a point. A higher rating means that more people watched the program compared to other programs airing at the same time. Advertisers pay more money for commercials on programs with higher ratings because they know more people will see their ads.

Section 2: Factors Affecting Television Ratings

Topic 1: Day and Time of Airing
The day and time a program airs can greatly affect its ratings. For example, programs that air on Saturday nights usually have lower ratings because fewer people are at home watching television.

Topic 2: Competition
If a program is airing against another popular program on a different network, it may receive lower ratings. Viewers have to choose which program to watch, and if the competition is strong, they may choose the program they prefer over the one with lower ratings.

Topic 3: Program Quality
The quality of the program can also affect its ratings. If a program has good reviews and is well-received by critics, it may attract more viewers. On the other hand, if a program has poor reviews and is not well-liked, it may have lower ratings.

Section 3: Analyzing Television Ratings

Topic 1: Comparing Ratings
To analyze television ratings, we need to compare them to other programs. We can look at the average rating for a specific network or time slot to see if a program is performing better or worse than others.

Topic 2: Trends over Time
We can also analyze television ratings by looking at trends over time. If a program's ratings are steadily increasing or decreasing, we can make predictions about its future performance.

Topic 3: Demographics
Demographics play a big role in television ratings. We can analyze the ratings by age group, gender, and other factors to see which groups are most likely to watch a particular program.

Conclusion:
By understanding the factors that contribute to high or low television ratings and analyzing the data, we can make informed decisions about which programs to watch and support. This knowledge can also help networks and advertisers make better choices about what content to produce and where to air their commercials.

# Network Policy Server user data collection

This document explains how to find user information collected by the Network Policy Server (NPS) in the event you would like to remove it.

>[!Note]
>If you're interested in viewing or deleting personal data, please review Microsoft's guidance in the [Windows Data Subject Requests for the GDPR](/microsoft-365/compliance/gdpr-dsr-windows) site. If you're looking for general information about GDPR, see the [GDPR section of the Service Trust portal](https://servicetrust.microsoft.com/ViewPage/GDPRGetStarted).

## Information Collected by NPS

- Timestamp
- Event Timestamp
- Username
- Full Qualified Username
- Client IP Address
- Client Vendor
- Client Friendly Name
- Authentication Type
- Numerous other fields concerning the RADIUS protocol

## Gather data from NPS

If accounting data is enabled and configured, then records of a user's NPS authentication attempts can be obtained from SQL Server or the log files depending on the configuration.

If accounting data is configured for SQL Server, query for all records WHERE User_Name = `'<username>'`.

If accounting data is configured for a log file, then search the log file for the `<username>` to find all log entries.

Network Policy and Access Services event log entries are considered duplicative to the accounting data and don't need to be collected.

If accounting data is not enabled, then records of a user's NPS authentication attempts can be obtained from the Network Policy and Access Services event log by searching for the `<username>`.

# Lesson: Introduction to Network Policy Server user data collection

## Overview

In this lesson, we will explore the concept of Network Policy Server (NPS) user data collection. We will cover what information is used to help authenticate users by NPS in Windows Server 2016, where to find this data, and how to delete it if desired. By the end of this lesson, you will have a better understanding of NPS user data collection and how it works.

## Objectives

- Understand what information is collected by NPS
- Learn where to find user data collected by NPS
- Know how to delete user data collected by NPS

## Prerequisites

- Basic knowledge of computer networks and authentication protocols
- Familiarity with Windows Server 2016

## Materials

- Computer with access to Windows Server 2016
- Access to NPS configuration tools

## Introduction

Network Policy Server (NPS) is a role service in Windows Server 2016 that provides network policy and authentication services. It allows administrators to configure and enforce security policies for network access. One of the ways NPS achieves this is by collecting user data during the authentication process. This data is used to help authenticate users and enforce security policies.

In this lesson, we will explore what information is collected by NPS, where to find this data, and how to delete it if desired. We will also discuss the implications of deleting this data and the potential impact on network security.

## What information is collected by NPS?

The following information is typically collected by NPS during the authentication process:

1. Timestamp: The time at which the authentication request was received by NPS.
2. Event Timestamp: The time at which the authentication event occurred.
3. Username: The username provided by the user during authentication.
4. Full Qualified Username: The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the user's account.
5. Client IP Address: The IP address of the device used by the user to connect to the network.
6. Client Vendor: The vendor of the device used by the user to connect to the network.
7. Client Friendly Name: A friendly name for the device used by the user to connect to the network.
8. Authentication Type: The type of authentication used (e.g., Kerberos, NTLM).
9. Numerous other fields concerning the RADIUS protocol: Additional fields may be collected depending on the specific RADIUS implementation.

## Where to find user data collected by NPS

To find user data collected by NPS, you can use the Event Viewer tool in Windows Server 2016. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the Event Viewer by searching for "Event Viewer" in the Start menu.
2. In the Event Viewer, expand the tree to show the logs for your server.
3. Look for the "System" log and expand it.
4. Search for events with Source="NPS" and EventID=101. These events will contain the user data collected by NPS.

## How to delete user data collected by NPS

If you wish to delete user data collected by NPS, you can do so by manually editing the registry. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Open the Registry Editor by searching for "Registry Editor" in the Start menu.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
3. In the right pane, look for the "ProfileImagePath" value.
4. Double-click on this value to edit it, and then delete the path to your user profile.
5. Close the Registry Editor.

## Implications of deleting user data

Deleting user data collected by NPS can have implications for network security. By deleting this data, you are effectively removing the audit trail of user authentication events. This can make it more difficult to track down security breaches and identify unauthorized network access. Therefore, it is recommended that you only delete this data if absolutely necessary and after consulting with your network administrator.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we explored the concept of Network Policy Server (NPS) user data collection. We covered what information is collected by NPS, where to find this data, and how to delete it if desired. We also discussed the implications of deleting this data and the potential impact on network security.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand Legal Documents
Introduction:
Legal documents are an essential part of our lives, whether we are signing a contract, filing a lawsuit, or responding to legal action against us. However, legal documents can be confusing and intimidating, especially if we do not understand the language used in them. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand legal documents, including identifying key terms, understanding legalese, and interpreting the meaning of a document.
Section 1: Identifying Key Terms
The first step in understanding a legal document is to identify the key terms used in it. Key terms are the words that define the purpose, scope, and limitations of the document. They are usually in bold or italicized text and may include:
- Parties: The individuals or entities involved in the document.
- Purpose: The reason for the document's existence.
- Scope: The extent of the document's application.
- Limitations: The restrictions or conditions imposed on the document.
- Effective Date: The date the document becomes effective.
- Termination Date: The date the document ends.
- Amendments: Changes made to the document after its creation.
By identifying these key terms, we can better understand the document's intent and application.
Section 2: Understanding Legalese
Legal documents often use specialized language called "legalese" to express complex ideas in a concise and precise manner. Legalese can be confusing and intimidating, but by understanding some basic principles, we can make sense of it. Here are some common legal terms and their meanings:
- Shall: Means "must."
- May: Means "permitted but not required."
- Will: Means "likely to happen."
- Should: Means "advisable."
- Notwithstanding: Means "despite" or "in spite of."
- Whereas: Means "where" or "in which."
- Hereby: Means "herein" or "in this document."
- Hereafter: Means "from this point forward."
By understanding these basic legal terms, we can read legal documents more effectively.
Section 3: Interpreting the Meaning of a Document
Once we have identified the key terms and understood the legalese, we can interpret the meaning of a document. This involves analyzing the document's structure, evaluating its arguments, and determining its implications. Here are some steps to follow:
- Read the document carefully, paying attention to the order of clauses and sentences.
- Identify the main argument or purpose of the document.
- Evaluate the strength of the document's arguments by considering the evidence presented and the logic used.
- Determine the implications of the document, both for the parties involved and for society as a whole.
- Consider any potential counterarguments or objections and how they might affect the document's validity.
By following these steps, we can interpret the meaning of a legal document and determine its significance.
Conclusion:
Understanding legal documents is an essential skill for navigating our legal system. By identifying key terms, understanding legalese, and interpreting the meaning of a document, we can read and comprehend legal documents effectively. By applying these principles, we can better protect our rights and interests and make informed decisions about legal matters.

Lesson: Introduction to Neurovascular Therapies

### Section 1: What are Neurovascular Therapies?
Neurovascular therapies refer to medical procedures that involve the use of catheters to treat diseases and disorders related to blood vessels in the brain. These therapies are typically used to treat conditions such as strokes, aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

### Section 2: How do Neurovascular Therapies Work?
Neurovascular therapies involve the use of catheters to deliver medications, clot-busting agents, or other substances directly to the site of a problem in the brain. These catheters are inserted into the blood vessels in the groin and guided up to the brain using X-ray imaging. Once the catheter is in place, the treatment is delivered directly to the affected area.

### Section 3: Types of Neurovascular Therapies
There are several types of neurovascular therapies, including:

1. Mechanical Thrombectomy: This therapy involves the use of a device to remove blood clots from the brain.
2. Chemical Thrombolysis: This therapy involves the use of medications to break up blood clots in the brain.
3. Embolization: This therapy involves the use of substances to block blood flow to a tumor or other abnormal blood vessel.
4. Aneurysm Coiling: This therapy involves the use of coils to fill an aneurysm and prevent it from rupturing.
5. AVM Embolization: This therapy involves the use of substances to block blood flow to an AVM and prevent it from bleeding.

### Section 4: Benefits of Neurovascular Therapies
Neurovascular therapies offer several benefits, including:

1. Minimally Invasive: These therapies are typically performed through small incisions in the skin, resulting in less pain and scarring.
2. Rapid Treatment: Neurovascular therapies can be performed quickly, often within hours of the onset of symptoms.

Lesson: How to Create an APA Style Reference List

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to create a reference list in APA style. A reference list is a list of all the sources used in your paper, organized alphabetically by the author's last name. It is important to include all sources used in your paper so that readers can find them and verify your information.

Section 1: Understanding APA Style
APA style is a writing style developed by the American Psychological Association. It is commonly used in psychology, education, and social sciences. In APA style, the reference list is titled "References" and is located at the end of your paper.

Section 2: Creating a Reference List
To create a reference list in APA style, follow these steps:

1. Start on a new page after the last page of your paper.
2. Center the word "References" at the top of the page.
3. Alphabetize your references by the author's last name.
4. Use hanging indentation for each reference.
5. Use capital letters and italics for the title of the source.
6. Use quotation marks for the title of a book, article, or web page.
7. Use italics for the title of a periodical or website.
8. Use the appropriate punctuation for the type of source.

Example:
Smith, J. (2020). The importance of exercise. Journal of Exercise Science, 23(2), 45-56. doi:10.1016/j.jes.2020.02.001

Discussion:
In this example, we see that the reference list follows the APA style guidelines. The reference begins with the author's last name, followed by a comma and the first initial. The year of publication is given in parentheses. The title of the source is next, followed by the title of the journal or book. Finally, the DOI or URL is given.

Section 3: Using the CRAAP Test
The CRAAP Test is a tool used to evaluate the credibility of a source. It stands for Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. When evaluating sources for your reference list, make sure that they meet these criteria.

Currency: Is the information up-to-date?
Relevance: Is the information relevant to your topic?
Authority: Who is the author or publisher? Are they an expert in the field?
Accuracy: Is the information accurate and reliable?
Purpose: Why was the information created? Is it to inform, persuade, or entertain?

Example:
A blog post written by a high school student may not be the best source for a research paper on the effects of climate change on agriculture. While the information may be up-to-date and relevant, the author may not be an expert in the field, and the purpose of the blog post may be to entertain rather than inform.

Conclusion:
Creating a reference list in APA style is an important part of any research paper. By following the guidelines and using the CRAAP Test, you can ensure that your sources are credible and reliable. By applying these skills, you can use information from a variety of sources to inform and enhance your understanding of any topic.

Cabinet nod to National Policy on Biofuels: What is it, and will it help in reducing pollution?

Cabinet nod to National Policy on Biofuels: What is it, and will it help in reducing pollution?

The Union Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday approved the National Policy on Biofuel, which is expected to not only reduce pollution but also help farmers in case of surplus production.

The Union Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday approved the National Policy on Biofuel, which is expected to not only reduce pollution but also help farmers in case of surplus production. The Biofuels policy allows doping of ethanol produced from damaged foodgrains, rotten potatoes, corn and sugar beet with petrol to cut oil imports by Rs 4,000 crore this year alone.

The Biofuel National Policy was a long-pending policy conceptualised in 2009 by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to promote biofuels in the country. The government said that the production of Biofuels will help in getting a cleaner environment.

“One crore lit of E-10 saves around 20,000 ton of CO2 emissions. For the ethanol supply year 2017-18, there will be lesser emissions of CO2 to the tune of 30 lakh ton. By reducing crop burning & conversion of agricultural residues and wastes to biofuels there will be further reduction in Green House Gas emissions,” the government said in a statement.

Moreover, the policy also looks promising on reducing farmers’ waste. “Farmers are at a risk of not getting appropriate price for their produce during the surplus production phase. Taking this into account, the Policy allows use of surplus food grains for production of ethanol for blending with petrol,” the government said. Besides, the production of Biofuels will also lead to the creation of 1200 jobs in fuel plants.

The World Bank in a report said that expanding biofuel production will reduce reliance on imported oil, lower
overall fuel costs, enhance energy security, and create domestic jobs by stimulating local economies. However, there are some risks too to food security. The diversion of maize and oilseeds to the biofuel sector has had a significant
effect on global food prices in recent years, the report said.

The government also said that the Biofuels programme has been largely impacted due to the “sustained and quantum non-availability” of domestic feedstock for biofuel production which needs to be addressed.

Lesson: Introduction to Biofuels

Biofuels are fuels that are produced from plant-based materials such as crops, wood, and waste. They are considered an alternative to traditional fossil fuels because they can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease our dependence on non-renewable resources. In this lesson, we will learn about biofuels, their benefits, and how they are produced.

**Section 1: What are Biofuels?**

Biofuels are fuels that are produced from plant-based materials such as crops, wood, and waste. They are considered an alternative to traditional fossil fuels because they can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease our dependence on non-renewable resources.

**Section 2: Benefits of Biofuels**

There are several benefits to using biofuels instead of traditional fossil fuels. Some of these benefits include:

1. Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Biofuels produce fewer greenhouse gases than traditional fossil fuels, which helps reduce our impact on the environment.

2. Decreased Dependence on Non-Renewable Resources: By using biofuels, we can decrease our dependence on non-renewable resources such as oil and gas.

3. Job Creation: The production of biofuels can create jobs in rural areas where many biofuel feedstocks are grown.

4. Energy Security: Using biofuels can help improve energy security by reducing our reliance on foreign oil.

**Section 3: How are Biofuels Produced?**

There are several ways to produce biofuels, but the most common method is through a process called fermentation. During fermentation, plant-based materials such as corn, sugarcane, or switchgrass are broken down into simple sugars by enzymes. These sugars are then converted into alcohol by yeast or bacteria. The alcohol can be used directly as a fuel or further processed to make biodiesel or other types of biofuels.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

One practical example of biofuels is ethanol, which is made from fermenting plant-based materials such as corn. Ethanol is commonly used as a gasoline additive to increase octane levels and reduce air pollution. Another example is biodiesel, which is made from plant-based oils or fats and can be used as a diesel fuel.

**Section 5: Conclusion**

In conclusion, biofuels are an important alternative to traditional fossil fuels. They can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, decrease our dependence on non-renewable resources, and create jobs in rural areas. By understanding the benefits and methods of producing biofuels, we can work towards a more sustainable future.

Sitting back and watching your favourite streamed TV series may seem harmless enough – but video demand is leaving a hefty carbon footprint.

LONDON, 31 January, 2017 – The internet is fast becoming a major source of global carbon emissions – and the main cause is video demand, the increasing popularity of “real time” streamed video content.

Video streaming to internet-enabled TVs, game consoles and mobile devices already accounts for more than 60% of all data traffic – and the latest forecasts suggest this will rise to more than 80% by 2020.

Increasingly, viewers across the world are watching films and TV series in real time through subscriptions to Netflix or Amazon, while social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are offering more and more streamed video content for free.

This is driving a dizzying increase in the amount of information that needs to be stored and transmitted by power-hungry data centres. Up until 2003 the world had accumulated a total of five exabytes – five billion gigabytes – of stored digital content. By 2015 that amount was being consumed every two days, as annual consumption reached 870 exabytes.

As more video is streamed and more of the world’s population goes online, annual data traffic is forecast to reach 2,300 exabytes by 2019.

Pressure for renewables

The IT sector already consumes around 7% of electricity worldwide, and as data traffic rises, demand from data centres alone could reach 13% of global electricity consumption by 2030.

Now leading video content providers are coming under increasing pressure to show what proportion of their power derives from fossil fuels.

A recent report by Greenpeace USA acknowledges that social media platform Facebook has made significant progress towards its target for 100% of its electricity to come from renewables, following support from millions of its users for Greenpeace’s 2011 “Unfriend coal” campaign. Google and Apple receive praise for progress towards similar commitments made in 2012.

However, major providers of video streaming content including Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu are criticised for sourcing more than half of their energy from coal or natural gas.

“The dramatic increase in the number of data centres … dominated by utilities that have little to no renewable energy is driving a similarly dramatic increase in the consumption of coal and natural gas”

Cloud computing market leader Amazon Web Services is credited for taking important steps towards renewables but censured for lack of transparency and heavy reliance on new data centres in the state of Virginia powered mainly by fossil fuels.

Elsewhere the lack of access to renewable energy from monopoly utilities in East Asia is seen as a major obstacle towards creating a renewably-powered internet in the region.

The report concludes: “The dramatic increase in the number of data centres … dominated by utilities that have little to no renewable energy is driving a similarly dramatic increase in the consumption of coal and natural gas.”

Attempting to express the effect of increasing internet traffic in terms of emissions is fraught with difficulty, but one study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, has calculated that in 2011 Americans streamed 3.2 billion hours of video.

This would have consumed 25 petajoules of energy (estimated at about the annual consumption of 175,000 US households), resulting in 1.3 billion kilograms of CO2 emissions.

Efficiency limits

The lead author, Arman Shehabi, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, said the IT sector had so far managed to offset its soaring electricity needs by designing more energy-efficient data centres. But there was a limit to how far energy efficiency could go.

“The growth in video streaming is enormous just based on the size of the companies that are providing these services – but they are still reaching only a small part of the global population and we can imagine that’s going to just keep increasing,” he said.

“You’re still going to have this growth of more and more servers needed. We’ve seen some good efficiency measures but we’re getting close to the end of that – we can’t go out much further – and with video streaming there’s no end in sight.”

He added that another major driver of future growth in data traffic would be the Internet of Things – remote digital sensors, devices and driverless cars connected to the internet. – Climate News Network

Isolated sciatic neuropathy as an initial manifestation of a high grade B-cell lymphoma: A case report and literature review.
Sciatic nerve neuropathy due to infiltrating of a high grade B-cell lymphoma is a very rare situation and has not often been reported. We report a case with a previous history of indolent lymphoma who presented with isolated sciatic nerve neuropathy and was found to have diffuse large B cell lymphoma involving the sciatic nerve. Although the current case is not a primary sciatic nerve lymphoma given the systematic involvement shown on MRI and PET/CT scan, the case represents a neurolymphomatosis of the sciatic nerve given the direct invasion of the lymphoma cells into the sciatic nerve. Due to the rarity of this condition, we subsequently reviewed related literatures.

Lesson: Introduction to Lymphomas

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Lymphomas are a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. There are two main types of lymphomas: Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this lesson, we will focus on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which includes diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

DLBCL is a high-grade, aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that can affect various parts of the body, including the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that runs from the lower back down the leg and controls the muscles in the leg and foot. When DLBCL affects the sciatic nerve, it is called sciatic neuropathy.

## Section 2: Practical Examples and Real-World Scenarios
Let's imagine that a patient named John comes to see you because he has been experiencing pain and weakness in his leg. He has been diagnosed with sciatic neuropathy caused by DLBCL. You need to explain to John what this means and what treatment options are available.

First, you could explain that DLBCL is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, specifically the B-cells. These cells play an important role in the immune system, but when they become cancerous, they can grow uncontrollably and form tumors.

Next, you could discuss the symptoms of sciatic neuropathy, which include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the leg. These symptoms can make it difficult for John to walk or perform daily activities.

Finally, you could explain the treatment options for DLBCL, which may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplant. These treatments aim to kill the cancer cells and prevent them from growing back. Depending on the stage of the cancer and John's overall health, different treatment options may be recommended.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Now let's consider some self-debating discussions related to John's diagnosis.

Question: Why did John develop sciatic neuropathy caused by DLBCL?
Answer: It is not entirely clear why John developed sciatic neuropathy caused by DLBCL. However, it is possible that the cancer cells infiltrated the sciatic nerve, causing inflammation and damage to the nerve. This can lead to pain, weakness, and other symptoms.

Question: How common is sciatic neuropathy caused by DLBCL?
Answer: Sciatic neuropathy caused by DLBCL is a rare condition. According to a study published in the journal Cancer, only about 1% of patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma develop neuropathy. However, it is still important for doctors to be aware of this possibility so that they can diagnose and treat it appropriately.

## Glossary
- Lymphoma: A type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system.
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: A type of lymphoma that does not involve Reed-Sternberg cells, which are a specific type of cancer cell found in Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL): A high-grade, aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that affects B-cells in the lymphatic system.
- Sciatic nerve: A large nerve that runs from the lower back down the leg and controls the muscles in the leg and foot.

- Radiation therapy: A type of cancer treatment that uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells.
- Stem cell transplant: A type of cancer treatment in which healthy stem cells are transplanted into the patient's body to help rebuild the bone marrow and immune system.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, sciatic neuropathy caused by DLBCL is a rare but serious condition that can cause significant pain and disability. As a doctor, it is important to be aware of this possibility so that appropriate treatment options can be discussed with patients. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and self-debating discussions related to this condition, we can better educate our patients and help them make informed decisions about their care.

Lesson: How to Reduce Reverberation Time in a Room

Introduction:
Reverberation time is the time it takes for sound to decrease in intensity to half its original value after the sound source has stopped. In other words, it is the duration of time it takes for a room to become silent after the sound has stopped. In this lesson, we will learn how to reduce reverberation time in a room using sound absorption panels.

Section 1: Understanding Reverberation Time
- Reverberation time is measured in seconds (s).
- It is an important factor to consider when designing a room for speech or music.
- A room with a long reverberation time will cause the sound to echo, making it difficult to understand what is being said or played.

Section 2: Sound Absorption Panels
- Sound absorption panels are designed to absorb sound energy and reduce reverberation time.
- They come in different designs and finishes to suit different environments.
- SoundFlex is a brand of sound absorption panels that are lightweight and high-performance, making them easy to install and effective at reducing reverberation time.

Section 3: Installing Sound Absorption Panels
- SoundFlex absorption panels can be installed on walls to reduce reverberation time.
- They should be installed in a way that covers as much of the wall surface as possible.
- The panels should be spaced evenly apart to ensure even coverage of the wall.

Section 4: Calculating Reverberation Time
- Reverberation time can be calculated using the following formula: RT60 = (V/S) x T
- Where RT60 is the reverberation time in seconds, V is the volume of the room in cubic meters, S is the sound absorption coefficient of the material used in the room, and T is the total surface area of the reflective surfaces in the room.
- By calculating the reverberation time, you can determine how many sound absorption panels you need to install to achieve the desired effect.

Section 5: Real-World Examples
- A concert hall with a long reverberation time will make it difficult for the audience to hear the subtle nuances of the music.
- A classroom with a short reverberation time will make it easier for the teacher to be heard and for students to concentrate on the lesson.
- A recording studio with a controlled reverberation time will produce high-quality recordings that accurately represent the sound of the instrument or voice being recorded.

Conclusion:
By installing sound absorption panels such as SoundFlex, you can reduce reverberation time in a room and create an effective acoustic environment. This is useful in a variety of settings, including concert halls, classrooms, and recording studios. By understanding the principles behind sound absorption and reverberation time, you can make informed decisions about how to improve the acoustics in any space.
