EDITORIALEvery House Has a Roof

One of the feature articles in this issue describes the air conditioning savings that can be obtained by simply changing the color of a home's roof (see Saving Energy with Reflective Roof Coatings, p.15). To be sure, the savings from this measure appear to be greatest in Florida and other southern states, but the results shouldn't be ignored elsewhere.

Reducing cooling-energy use is a challenge because the heat comes via so many different paths. Unlike space heating, where most of the heat loss is caused by a difference in temperatures, the heat gains to be removed by the air conditioner are spread among several paths, all of which can be significant: outside temperature, solar gains, humidity, and internal heat gains.

An air conditioning efficiency improvement that works well in one house or climate might be much less effective elsewhere. That is why it should come as no surprise that changing the roof's color can save up to 40% in some uninsulated Florida test houses. But it is a surprise that similar savings have been found in California, which has a very different climate. With such compelling savings figures, it's time to reconsider the roof's role in energy use. The big peak power reductions should make every utility demand-side planner reconsider roofs.

If roof color is important, then the energy specialist must learn to measure a material's solar reflectivity (this is not something one can eyeball) and also needs to become knowledgeable about high-reflectivity building materials, some of which are not yet commercially available.

Finally, the energy specialist will need to enlist a new partner: the professional roofer. Changing a roof's color is not cost-effective when implemented as a straight retrofit, but it does pay when a roof needs replacing. Thus, the energy specialist must coordinate activities with a knowledgeable roofer, or at least ensure that the roofer uses materials with a high reflectivity.

The article also touches upon a second intriguing aspect of building color. That is, one building's color may affect the energy use of its neighbors. The colors currently used in buildings tend to absorb and re-radiate heat to nearby surfaces, leading to higher temperatures. This phenomenon is know as the urban heat island. Small-scale measurements and computer simulations suggest that city-wide changes in building color can have profound effects on temperature and air quality. And even if we can't change all of Los Angeles in one day, the same phenomenon can happen in a neighborhood. Suddenly the building energy specialist becomes a community energy specialist!

Management of the anophthalmic socket in pediatric patients.
The management of the pediatric anophthalmic socket is distinguished from adult anophthalmia, because normal socket and facial development is dependent on orbital growth. Recent literature on managing anophthalmic sockets is discussed with a focus on the pediatric patient. There are many studies discussing the management of the anophthalmic socket, but few are randomized clinical studies. Although the management of anophthalmia in the child is fraught with challenges and nuances, the principal aim is to encourage socket growth. Both congenital and acquired pediatric anophthalmia are discussed. Surgical decisions, choice of orbital implants, various methods of socket expansion, and socket reconstructions are examined.

**Lesson: Management of the Anophthalmic Socket in Pediatric Patients**

**Introduction:**
The management of the anophthalmic socket in pediatric patients is a complex process that requires careful consideration of the child's age, developmental stage, and individual needs. This lesson will discuss the principles of managing anophthalmic sockets in children, including surgical decisions, choice of orbital implants, methods of socket expansion, and socket reconstructions.

**Section 1: Surgical Decisions**

**Topic 1: Choice of Orbital Implants**

**Question:** What types of orbital implants are available for use in pediatric patients with anophthalmic sockets?

**Answer:** There are several types of orbital implants available for use in pediatric patients with anophthalmic sockets. These include:

1. Silicone implants: These are the most commonly used type of orbital implant. They are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different socket sizes and shapes.

2. Hydrogel implants: These are soft, gel-filled implants that can be customized to fit the specific shape and size of the anophthalmic socket.

3. Alloplastic implants: These are synthetic materials that can be used to reconstruct the socket and provide support for the implant.

4. Autologous implants: These are made from the patient's own tissue, such as fat or muscle, and can be used to reconstruct the socket and provide support for the implant.

**Topic 2: Methods of Socket Expansion**

**Question:** How can the socket be expanded to promote growth in pediatric patients?

**Answer:** There are several methods of socket expansion that can be used to promote growth in pediatric patients with anophthalmic sockets. These include:

1. Socket expansion with implants: This involves placing an orbital implant in the socket to create a space for the eye to grow into. The implant can be gradually expanded over time to accommodate the growing eye.

2. Socket expansion with silicone sheets: This involves placing a thin sheet of silicone over the socket to create a space for the eye to grow into. The sheet can be gradually stretched over time to accommodate the growing eye.

3. Socket expansion with fat grafting: This involves taking a small amount of fat from another part of the body and injecting it into the socket to create a space for the eye to grow into. The fat can be gradually absorbed by the body over time, allowing the eye to grow into the space created.

**Topic 3: Socket Reconstructions**

**Question:** What types of socket reconstructions are available for pediatric patients with anophthalmic sockets?

**Answer:** There are several types of socket reconstructions that can be used to improve the appearance and function of the anophthalmic socket in pediatric patients. These include:

1. Conventional socket reconstruction: This involves creating a new socket using skin grafts taken from other parts of the body.

2. Free flap reconstruction: This involves taking a piece of tissue from another part of the body and attaching it to the socket to create a new socket.

3. Prosthetic socket reconstruction: This involves creating a prosthetic socket that is custom-made to fit the patient's individual needs.

**Section 2: Practical Examples**

**Topic 1: Socket Expansion with Implants**

**Question:** How is socket expansion with implants performed in pediatric patients?

**Answer:** Socket expansion with implants is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make an incision in the upper eyelid and remove any remaining tissue from the socket. The implant will then be placed in the socket and secured in place. Over time, the implant can be gradually expanded to accommodate the growing eye.

**Topic 2: Socket Reconstruction with Free Flap**

**Question:** How is free flap reconstruction performed in pediatric patients?

**Answer:** Free flap reconstruction is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will take a piece of tissue from another part of the body, such as the scalp or thigh, and attach it to the socket using microsurgical techniques. The new tissue will then be covered with a skin graft to create a natural-looking socket.

**Section 3: Glossary**

**Term:** Orbital implant - A prosthetic device that is placed in the anophthalmic socket to replace the missing eye and provide support for the surrounding tissues.

**Term:** Socket expansion - The process of enlarging the anophthalmic socket to promote growth and accommodate the growing eye.

**Term:** Socket reconstruction - The process of rebuilding the anophthalmic socket to improve its appearance and function.

**Conclusion:**

The management of the anophthalmic socket in pediatric patients requires careful consideration of the child's individual needs and developmental stage. Surgical decisions, choice of orbital implants, methods of socket expansion, and socket reconstructions are all important aspects of managing anophthalmia in children. By understanding the principles of managing anophthalmic sockets, healthcare professionals can help improve the quality of life for children with this condition.

4. TTYL: Talk to you later
5. ROFL: Rolling on the floor laughing

To understand these abbreviations, it's essential to know their meanings and context. For example, if someone sends you an invitation message with "TTYL," it means they want you to meet up later.

Section 3: Understanding Text Message Slang
Slang is an informal language used by a particular group of people. In text messaging, slang is commonly used to convey emotions or attitudes. Some examples of text message slang include:

1. Lit: Exciting or fun
2. Savage: Cruel or ruthless
3. Flex: Show off or brag
4. Goals: Desirable qualities or achievements
5. Gucci: Good or great

To understand text message slang, it's essential to know the context and the person using the slang. For instance, if your friend uses the word "lit," it may mean they had a great time at a party.

Section 4: Analyzing Text Message Context
Understanding text messages requires analyzing the context in which they are sent. Context includes the sender's tone, the recipient's relationship with the sender, and the situation surrounding the message.

For example, if someone sends you an emotional message like "I miss you," it's essential to consider if you have a close relationship with them, their tone when sending the message, and the reason for their absence.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding text messages requires knowledge of different types of messages, their meanings, and context. By analyzing abbreviations, slang, and context, we can effectively interpret and respond to text messages. This skill is crucial in today's digital age, where text messaging is a primary mode of communication.

Lesson: Understanding Mailing Lists and their Contribution to Open-Source Projects

## Introduction

A mailing list is an email distribution list that allows people to send messages to multiple recipients at once. In the context of open-source projects, mailing lists are essential tools for communication, collaboration, and sharing information among developers, contributors, and users.

In this lesson, we will explore the role of mailing lists in open-source projects, specifically focusing on the GCC project and its mailing list. We will analyze an excerpt from the GCC mailing list to understand how mailing lists facilitate communication and collaboration among members of an open-source community.

## Section 1: Understanding Mailing Lists

### Subsection 1.1: What is a mailing list?

A mailing list is a tool that allows people to send emails to multiple recipients simultaneously. It works by storing the email addresses of the recipients in a database or file. When someone sends an email to the mailing list's address, the message is automatically forwarded to all the subscribed recipients.

### Subsection 1.2: Why are mailing lists important for open-source projects?

Mailing lists are crucial for open-source projects because they provide a platform for communication and collaboration among developers, contributors, and users. They allow people to share ideas, ask questions, report bugs, and discuss improvements to the software. This helps to create a sense of community and fosters collaboration, which is essential for the growth and success of an open-source project.

## Section 2: Analyzing an Excerpt from the GCC Mailling List

### Subsection 2.1: What is the GCC project?

The GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) is a suite of compilers that produce machine-independent object code. It is part of the GNU Project and is developed by the Free Software Foundation.

### Subsection 2.2: What is the GCC mailing list?

The GCC mailing list is a communication channel used by developers, contributors, and users of the GCC project. People can subscribe to the list to receive emails about updates, bug reports, and discussions related to the GCC project.

### Subsection 2.3: Analyzing the excerpt

The excerpt from the GCC mailing list shows a discussion about improving the handling of assembly code in GCC. Specifically, the developers are considering ways to make it easier to use assembly code within functions without causing issues with the compiler's optimizations.

In this discussion, the developers suggest that GCC could parse the assembly instructions and figure out the clobbers, which is necessary for providing better diagnostics. However, they also acknowledge that this would require a closer integration with binutils, which has been discussed in the past but seems to have stalled or be happening behind closed doors.

## Section 3: Practical Examples

### Subsection 3.1: Example 1

Suppose you are a developer working on an open-source project that uses a mailing list for communication. You notice that some users are reporting issues with the project's user interface. You can use the mailing list to send out a call for help from other developers or contributors who have experience in UI design or front-end development. By doing so, you can collaborate with others to improve the project's user interface and provide a better experience for its users.

### Subsection 3.2: Example 2

You are a user of an open-source project that uses a mailing list for support and bug reporting. You encounter an issue with the software and decide to report it on the mailing list. Other users might respond with similar experiences or suggestions for workarounds. Additionally, the project's developers might chime in to confirm the bug and provide an estimate for when it will be fixed. By participating in the mailing list, you contribute to the improvement of the project and benefit from the knowledge and expertise of other users and developers.

## Section 4: Conclusion

Mailing lists play a crucial role in open-source projects by providing a platform for communication, collaboration, and sharing information among developers, contributors, and users. By understanding the importance of mailing lists and analyzing an example from the GCC mailing list, we can appreciate the value of these tools in promoting community and collaboration within open-source projects.

text: The Eastern Regional Football Association (ERFA), has secured a kit sponsorship deal for clubs in the region ahead of the 2020/2021 league season.. Chairman of the ERFA Mr. Linford Asamoah Boadu who disclosed this, said the Division 2 clubs in the region do not have adequate jerseys as the GFA regulation requires Division 2 clubs to have about 30 registered players.. He indicated that the lack of jerseys often results in players changing shirts during substitution, a situation that poses serious health risk to these players.. ‘I decided to secure a kit sponsorship for the RFA Clubs and with this idea, I got $35,000 sponsor for Eastern RFA which will help every club to have branded jerseys, top and shorts, socks or stockings with specific jersey number for each player. I strongly believe this will go a long way to brand the Eastern Regional game’ he told ghanafa.org.

This internal struggle kills me!. Why have I let this take me so far down?. Losing the battle is the least of my concerns now.. After all, winning the war. Is the priority here.. It digs deep. Into the corners now. Plotting against me is a feeling. I know so well. Symbiotic ties begin to tangle here.. And now, we shall test their breaking point.. These trying times call for trying measures. But it just isn't worth it anymore.. (You're not worth my time!). I shrug my shoulders,. I will not let this bring me down..

Q:

Continuity of restriction map

Consider a map $f:X\rightarrow Y$ and suppose $X=\bigcup_i U_i$ is a union of open subsets. Prove that if all the restrictions $f_i=f|_{U_i}:U_i\rightarrow Y$ are continuous, then $f$ is continuous.
Proof: For any $U$ open in $Y$, we have $f_i^{-1}(U)$ is open in $U_i$ by assumption. Hence $f_i^{-1}(U)=U_i \cap V$ for some open set $V$ in X. Since $U_i$ is open in $X$, we have $f_i^{-1}(U)$ is open in $X$. But then we also have $f_i^{-1}(U)=f^{-1}(U) \cap U_i$, hence
$$f^{-1}(U)=f^{-1}(U)\cap X = f^{-1}(U) \cap \bigcup_i U_i= \bigcup_i f^{-1}(U)\cap U_i=\bigcup_i f_i^{-1}(U)$$
is a union of open sets, hence open.
My question is, why can't we just say $V=f^{-1}(U)$? If $A \cap B = C \cap B$, does it implies $A=C$? Thanks for answering

A:

In general it is not true that if $A\cap B=C\cap B$ then $A=C$. For example, let $A=\{1,2,3,4\}$, $C=\{2,50,800\}$, and $B=\{2\}$. Then $A\cap B=\{2\}=C\cap B$, but clearly $A\not= C$. This is why you cannot conclude that $V=f^{-1}(U)$.

Lesson: Continuity of restriction map

Introduction:

In mathematics, continuity is a property of functions that describes the behavior of the function near its points of discontinuity. A function is continuous if it can be defined at every point in its domain, and its limit as the input approaches any point in the domain exists. In this lesson, we will learn about the continuity of restriction maps.

Core Value:

The core value of this lesson is that if all the restrictions of a map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ onto open subsets $U_i$ are continuous, then $f$ is continuous. We will prove this using the definition of continuity and the properties of open sets.

Lesson Plan:

I. Theoretical Concepts

A. Definition of Continuity: A function $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is continuous at a point $x \in X$ if for every $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a $\delta > 0$ such that $|f(x') - f(x)| < \epsilon$ for all $x' \in X$ with $0 < |x' - x| < \delta$.

B. Restriction Map: Given a map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ and a partition $X = \bigcup_i U_i$ of $X$ into open subsets, the restriction of $f$ onto $U_i$ is defined as $f_i = f|_{U_i}: U_i \rightarrow Y$.

C. Open Sets: A set $U$ is open in $X$ if for every $x \in U$, there exists an open neighborhood $V$ of $x$ such that $V \subseteq U$.

D. Preimage of a Set: Given a function $f: X \rightarrow Y$ and a set $A \subseteq Y$, the preimage of $A$ under $f$ is $f^{-1}(A) = \{ x \in X : f(x) \in A \}$.

II. Questions and Answers

Q1: What is the definition of continuity?
A1: A function $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is continuous at a point $x \in X$ if for every $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a $\delta > 0$ such that $|f(x') - f(x)| < \epsilon$ for all $x' \in X$ with $0 < |x' - x| < \delta$.

Q2: What is a restriction map?
A2: Given a map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ and a partition $X = \bigcup_i U_i$ of $X$ into open subsets, the restriction of $f$ onto $U_i$ is defined as $f_i = f|_{U_i}: U_i \rightarrow Y$.

Q3: What is an open set?
A3: A set $U$ is open in $X$ if for every $x \in U$, there exists an open neighborhood $V$ of $x$ such that $V \subseteq U$.

Q4: What is the preimage of a set under a function?
A4: Given a function $f: X \rightarrow Y$ and a set $A \subseteq Y$, the preimage of $A$ under $f$ is $f^{-1}(A) = \{ x \in X : f(x) \in A \}$.

III. Definitions of Purpose

A. Definition of Continuity: A function $f: X \rightarrow Y$ is continuous at a point $x \in X$ if for every $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a $\delta > 0$ such that $|f(x') - f(x)| < \epsilon$ for all $x' \in X$ with $0 < |x' - x| < \delta$.

B. Restriction Map: Given a map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ and a partition $X = \bigcup_i U_i$ of $X$ into open subsets, the restriction of $f$ onto $U_i$ is defined as $f_i = f|_{U_i}: U_i \rightarrow Y$.

IV. Practical Examples

A. Let $X = [0, 1]$, $Y = \mathbb{R}$, and $f(x) = \sin(x)$. Then, $f$ is continuous on $X$. To show this, we can use the definition of continuity and the fact that the sine function is continuous on the interval $[0, 1]$.

B. Let $X = [0, 1]$, $Y = \mathbb{R}$, and $f(x) = x^2$. Then, $f$ is continuous on $X$. To show this, we can use the definition of continuity and the fact that the square function is continuous on the interval $[0, 1]$.

V. Real-World Scenarios

A. In physics, the continuity equation is used to describe the conservation of mass in fluid dynamics. It states that the rate of change of mass in a fluid is zero, i.e., $\frac{d}{dt} \int_{V} \rho(x, t) dV = 0$. This equation is used to solve problems related to fluid dynamics, such as the motion of fluids and the behavior of waves.

B. In economics, the law of supply and demand states that the price of a good or service is determined by the relationship between the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded. If the supply of a good increases while the demand remains constant, the equilibrium price will decrease. This law is used to analyze market behavior and predict price changes.

VI. Self-Debating Discussions

A. Is the continuity of a function always guaranteed if it is defined piecewise-continuously?
B. Can we prove the continuity of a function using only the definition of continuity and the properties of open sets?
C. Are there any cases where the continuity of a function can be proven using only the definition of continuity and the properties of open sets?

VII. Glossary

A. Continuity: A property of functions that describes the behavior of the function near its points of discontinuity.
B. Restriction Map: A map that restricts the domain of another function to a specific subset.
C. Open Set: A set that is open in a topological space.
D. Preimage: The set of all elements in the codomain that are mapped to by the function.

VIII. Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the continuity of restriction maps. We proved that if all the restrictions of a map $f: X \rightarrow Y$ onto open subsets $U_i$ are continuous, then $f$ is continuous. We also learned about the practical applications of continuity in physics and economics. Finally, we discussed self-debating discussions and defined key terms.

History of benzodiazepine dependence.
The benzodiazepines were developed in the 1950s, some introduced in the 1960s, and many more since then. Pharmacologically, they are sedative/hypnotics akin to alcohol, chloral, the barbiturates, and meprobamate. All have been widely used both within and outside the licit medical context. Usage of benzodiazepines increased dramatically during the 1960s and early 1970s; tranquilizer but not hypnotic usage has since declined. Both abuse and misuse were documented early, but the incidence was deemed low in view of the widespread prescription. Normal-dose physical dependence was first suspected in the early 1970s but it was not until the early 1980s that scientific evidence was adduced to establish its reality and frequency. Further studies have revealed the complex nature of the withdrawal syndrome. A reaction has set in against these drugs, with attempts to limit them to short-term use.

Lesson: Thinking Outside the Box: Innovative Solutions for Urban Problems
Introduction:
New York City is one of the most populous cities in the world, with a rich history and diverse culture. However, like many cities, it faces challenges such as traffic congestion, crime, and housing shortages. In order to address these issues, city leaders must think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of creative thinking and how it can be applied to urban problems.
Section 1: Understanding the Problem
The first step in finding innovative solutions is to understand the problem. This means looking at the current situation and identifying areas where improvements can be made. For example, if there are too many cars on the road, one solution might be to improve public transportation so that people can get around without relying on their own vehicles.
Section 2: Looking to the Past
Sometimes, the best solutions come from looking to the past. This means studying how cities in the past were able to function effectively and incorporating those strategies into modern-day planning. For example, many cities in the past had strong central cores with walkable neighborhoods and plenty of green space. By incorporating these features into new developments, cities can create a sense of community and reduce traffic congestion.
Section 3: Looking to the Future
While it is important to learn from the past, it is also essential to look towards the future. This means anticipating changes in technology, demographics, and economics and planning accordingly. For example, as more people move to urban areas, there will be a greater need for affordable housing. By incorporating sustainable building practices and smart growth principles, cities can create vibrant communities that are accessible to everyone.
Section 4: Creative Solutions
Once the problem has been understood and potential solutions have been identified, it is time to think creatively about how to implement them. This means coming up with new ideas that may not have been considered before. For example, one creative solution to the housing shortage could be to convert abandoned buildings into affordable housing units. Another solution could be to use technology to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, thinking outside the box is essential when it comes to solving urban problems. By looking to the past, present, and future, and by coming up with creative solutions, cities can become more livable and sustainable.

Lesson: The Impact of World War I on American Society

### Introduction

World War I was a significant event that affected many aspects of American society. In this lesson, we will explore how the war impacted the United States, including changes in daily life, economic shifts, and political developments. We will also examine how these changes set the stage for future events, such as World War II and the civil rights movement.

### Section 1: Changes in Daily Life

During World War I, many Americans experienced changes in their daily lives as the country mobilized for war. Here are some examples:

**Theater** - Many theaters stopped showing movies so they could be used to train soldiers. Instead, live performances were held to raise money for the war effort.

**Food** - Food was rationed, meaning that people could only buy certain amounts of certain foods. Sugar, meat, and fats were among the items that were rationed.

**Clothing** - Clothing styles changed as well. Women's skirts became shorter due to fabric shortages, and men started wearing military-style clothing.

**Voluntary Rationing** - People were encouraged to participate in voluntary rationing, which meant they would eat foods that were not rationed and avoid eating foods that were in short supply.

### Section 2: Economic Shifts

World War I had a significant impact on the American economy. Here are some examples:

**Production** - Factories switched from producing consumer goods to producing weapons, ammunition, and other supplies for the military. This led to an increase in employment and industrial production.

**Prices** - Prices rose due to inflation caused by the increased demand for goods and the decreased supply of some products.

**Labor** - Women entered the workforce in large numbers to replace men who had gone to fight in the war. This helped to increase the number of workers and boost productivity.

**War Bonds** - The government sold war bonds to raise money for the war effort. People bought these bonds as a way to support the troops and help fund the war.

### Section 3: Political Developments

World War I also had a significant impact on American politics. Here are some examples:

**Nationalism** - There was a surge of nationalism during the war, as people felt a strong sense of patriotism and support for their country.

**Isolationism** - After the war, many Americans favored isolationism, which meant they wanted the United States to stay out of foreign affairs and not get involved in any more wars.

**Treaty of Versailles** - The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty that ended World War I. Some people felt that the treaty was too harsh on Germany, which led to tensions that eventually led to World War II.

### Conclusion

In conclusion, World War I had a significant impact on American society, affecting daily life, the economy, and politics. These changes set the stage for future events, such as World War II and the civil rights movement. By studying this time period, we can gain a better understanding of how historical events shape our world today.
