Lesson: How to Avoid Plagiarism in Writing

Introduction:
Plagiarism is the act of taking someone else's work or ideas and presenting them as one's own. It is a serious offense in academic and professional writing. In this lesson, we will learn how to avoid plagiarism in our writing.

Section 1: What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own. It can be intentional or unintentional. Intentional plagiarism is when you knowingly steal someone else's work and pass it off as your own. Unintentional plagiarism occurs when you use someone else's work or ideas without giving proper credit.

Section 2: Why is Plagiarism Wrong?
Plagiarism is wrong because it is dishonest. It is stealing someone else's hard work and ideas and passing them off as your own. It is also unfair to the original author, who may not receive credit for their work. Additionally, plagiarism undermines the integrity of academic and professional institutions.

Section 3: How to Avoid Plagiarism
To avoid plagiarism, follow these steps:
1. Cite your sources: Always cite the original source of information you use in your writing. This includes books, articles, and online sources.
2. Paraphrase: Instead of directly quoting someone else's work, paraphrase it in your own words. This shows that you understand the material and are not simply copying it.
3. Use quotation marks: When you directly quote someone else's work, use quotation marks around the sentence. This clearly indicates which words are not your own.
4. Summarize: Instead of using someone else's ideas or research, summarize them in your own words. This shows that you understand the material and are not simply copying it.
5. Avoid self-plagiarism: Do not reuse your own work without proper credit.

Section 4: Examples of Plagiarism
Here are some examples of plagiarism:
1. Copying and pasting text from a website into your paper without citing the source.
2. Paraphrasing someone else's work without citing the source.
3. Submitting a paper written by someone else as your own.
4. Using someone else's research without giving proper credit.

Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, plagiarism is a serious offense that undermines the integrity of academic and professional institutions. To avoid plagiarism, always cite your sources, paraphrase instead of directly quoting, use quotation marks, summarize, and avoid self-plagiarism. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your writing is original and properly credited.

A computer system configured to be a cluster (multi-node cluster) system having multiple nodes (server machines) operates the multiple nodes connected to one another via a network such as a Local Area Network (LAN) in parallel with one another.
Such a recent cluster system is enduring an increased cost of consumption power in proportional to improvement in performance of network devices and also to an increase in data to be processed. Accordingly, higher demands arise to save power in a computing system.
A conventional computer system optimizes the performance thereof, maintaining entire amounts of heat and power of the system, by adjusting, for example, the voltage level to be applied to the processor.                [Patent Literature 1] Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2009-193385        [Patent Literature 2] Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2004-078940
However, such a conventional computer system has difficulty in satisfying the performance demanded for the system and also in suppressing the consumption power when the working environment of the system is varied.
As one example, vibration may cause interference between nodes placed in the same rack or in contiguous racks and consequently the inter-node interference may degrade the performance of the system. As the above, in cases where the original performance of anode is largely damaged, the system performance degrades and/or the consumption power increases. Furthermore, the system performance is degraded and also the consumption power increases when a particular node fails to degrade the performance thereof and a node is active replaced in regular maintenance while the system is operating.

Weidhausen

Weidhausen bei Coburg (officially: Weidhausen b. Coburg) is a municipality in the southeastern portion of the Coburg district of Bavaria in Germany.

Geography

City Districts
The municipality is divided into three districts:
 Weidhausen
 Neuensorg
 Trübenbach

History and Coat of Arms
The first documented mentions were Neuensorg in 1195, Trübenbach in 1289 and Weidhausen in 1225.

Weidhausen was initially part of the Kloster monastery, later the Coburg principality, and then Bavaria in 1920.

A manor was acquired by Georg von Erffa in Weidhausen in 1651. The two eagle wings in Weidhausen's coat of arms came from the crest of this family.

The district of Trübenbach is represented in the coat of arms through the stream (using the 'bach' portion of its name, meaning 'stream' in German) with waves.

The district of Neuensorg, whose residents were employed in forestry, were symbolized through the inclusion of wood cutting tools, the felling axe and the adze.

The colors of gold and blue refer to the colors of Baron von Erffa. The colors of silver and red commemorate the membership of the community to the bishopric of Bamberg.

Lesson: Introduction to Geometry

**Self-Taught Lesson in Markdown Format**

# Introduction to Geometry

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with points, lines, shapes, and space. It is used in everyday life, from building structures to designing clothing. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of geometry, including definitions, postulates, and theorems.

## Section 1: Definitions

- **Point:** A point is a location in space that has a fixed position. It can be represented by an arrow pointing in a specific direction.
- **Line:** A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in both directions. It can be represented by a straight arrow on a flat surface.
- **Shape:** A shape is a closed figure, such as a circle or square, that is formed by connecting points. It can be represented by drawing the figure on a flat surface.
- **Space:** Space is the area around us where objects exist. It can be thought of as a three-dimensional box with length, width, and height.

## Section 2: Postulates

Postulates are statements that are assumed to be true without proof. They form the foundation of geometry. Here are some of the most important postulates:

1. **Parallel Postulate:** If a line intersects another line in a specific point, then it intersects all other lines that lie in a plane that contains that point and the two lines.
2. **Perpendicular Postulate:** If a line intersects a line at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular to each other.
3. **Extension Postulate:** If a line segment is extended far enough, it will eventually reach every point on a given line.

## Section 3: Theorems

Theorems are statements that can be proven using postulates. Here are some examples:

1. **Thales' Theorem:** If a line is perpendicular to another line, then it is also the longest side of the triangle formed by the intersection of the two lines.
2. **Pythagoras' Theorem:** In a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
3. **Euclid's First Theorem:** If a line intersects two other lines, then the three lines will intersect in a specific point.

## Section 4: Practical Examples

Geometry is used in many fields, including architecture, engineering, and fashion design. Here are some examples:

1. **Architecture:** Architects use geometry to design buildings that are aesthetically pleasing and functional. They use principles such as the golden ratio and symmetry to create balanced and harmonious designs.
2. **Engineering:** Engineers use geometry to design structures that can withstand forces such as wind and earthquakes. They use calculations such as stress and strain to determine the strength of materials.
3. **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers use geometry to create clothing that is flattering and functional. They use principles such as the rule of thirds and proportion to create clothes that look good on different body types.

## Glossary

- Point: A location in space with a fixed position
- Line: A straight path that extends infinitely in both directions
- Shape: A closed figure formed by connecting points
- Space: The area around us where objects exist
- Parallel Postulate: If a line intersects another line in a specific point, then it intersects all other lines that lie in a plane that contains that point and the two lines
- Perpendicular Postulate: If a line intersects a line at a right angle, then the two lines are perpendicular to each other
- Extension Postulate: If a line segment is extended far enough, it will eventually reach every point on a given line
- Thales' Theorem: If a line is perpendicular to another line, then it is also the longest side of the triangle formed by the intersection of the two lines
- Pythagoras' Theorem: In a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides
- Euclid's First Theorem: If a line intersects two other lines, then the three lines will intersect in a specific point

## Conclusion

Geometry is an important branch of mathematics that deals with points, lines, shapes, and space. It is used in many fields, including architecture, engineering, and fashion design. By understanding the basics of geometry, we can apply its principles to solve problems and create designs that are functional and aesthetically pleasing.

How to Sharpen Clippers and Garden Shears

It's important to keep your pruning tools, including clippers and shears, sharp, not only to ensure they work as they should, but to protect your plants. Dull clippers rip through stems as they trim, creating a wound that takes longer to heal than one that's sharply cut. Dull, dirty tools may also spread weed seeds and plant disease. Moreover, sharp tools are simply easier to use. It's best to sharpen clippers with a stone or a file; a power tool, such as a rotary tool, is more difficult to control and may ruin the edges. Wear protective gloves -- the blades are sharper than they appear.

Things You'll Need

Wrench

Rags

Alcohol

Mineral oil

Spray lubricant

Sandpaper

Wire brush or steel wool

Vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda or cola

Vise

File or sharpening stone

Penetrating oil

Step 1: Disassemble the Tool

Whether you're sharpening hedge trimmers, bypass clippers or anvil loppers, the job is easier if you can disassemble the tool, but do this only if the tool is not spring-loaded. Unscrew the nut that joins the blades, using a wrench. Remove the nut, bolt and washer, and put them in a safe place.

Step 2: Clean Off Rust and Sap

Wipe off sap and resins with a rag soaked with alcohol, mineral oil or spray lubricant.

Remove rust by sanding or scrubbing with a wire brush or a steel wool pad, being careful to keep your fingers away from the edge of the blade. If the blades are seriously rusted, dissolve the rust by spraying vinegar on the blades and leaving the tool for several minutes. Lemon juice, baking soda and cola also dissolve rust.

Step 3: Clamp the Tool

Clamp each blade in a vise; if you didn't disassemble the clippers, clamp the entire tool so that one of the blades is facing up. Place the file or stone flush against the bevel of the blade -- look carefully to ensure you gauge this correctly, because if the sharpening tool is at an angle to the blade bevel, it won't hone the edge properly.

Tip

If you don't have a vise, lay the blade on a flat workbench and hold it steady with one hand.

Step 4: Sharpen the Blade

Draw the file or stone along the edge, moving it away from you on each stroke. Stop after about five strokes and feel the edge carefully with your ungloved finger. Stroke a few more times if it doesn't feel sharp enough. Turn the blade or tool over and sharpen the other edge if there is a bevel on that side. Bypass clipper blades usually have a bevel on only one side, but anvil clippers have bevels on both sides.

Step 5: De-burr the Edge

Run the file or stone lightly along the edge of the blade to de-burr it after you've sharpened it.

Step 6: Clean and Oil the Metal

Wipe the blade with a rag soaked with alcohol after you've sharpened it, to remove fine metal shards and to disinfect it. Put a few drops of mineral oil on the blade and rub it in with another rag.

Step 7: Lubricate the Clippers

Reassemble the clippers, if you took them apart, and tighten the nut enough to make the blades cut smoothly but remain loose enough to make the tool easy to use. Whether or not you took the tool apart, lubricate the joint with a few drops of penetrating oil.

Tip

If you have a pair of grass clippers that resemble large scissors, you can usually sharpen the blades with a knife sharpener.

Lesson: How to Sharpen Clippers and Garden Shears

Introduction:

Sharp tools are essential for effective gardening. In this lesson, we will learn how to sharpen clippers and garden shears using simple tools available at home. We will cover the steps involved, the materials needed, and the benefits of sharpening your tools regularly.

Materials Needed:

- Wrench
- Rags
- Alcohol
- Mineral oil
- Spray lubricant
- Sandpaper
- Wire brush or steel wool
- Vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda, or cola
- Vise
- File or sharpening stone
- Penetrating oil

Step 1: Disassemble the Tool:

Before sharpening your clippers or garden shears, disassemble them to access the blade. This step may vary depending on the type of tool you have. Refer to the user manual or search online for instructions on how to disassemble your specific tool.

Step 2: Clean the Tool:

Once the tool is disassembled, clean it thoroughly using rags and alcohol. Remove any dirt, debris, or plant residue that may be on the blade. After cleaning, apply mineral oil or a spray lubricant to the blade to prevent rust and corrosion.

Step 3: Sharpen the Blade:

There are two common methods for sharpening clippers and garden shears - using a file or a sharpening stone. Both methods require some practice, so don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get the hang of it.

Method 1: Using a File

1. Clamp the blade in a vise with the cutting edge facing up.
2. Wrap a piece of sandpaper around a flat surface, such as a board or a rock.
3. Hold the file at a 45-degree angle to the blade and draw it along the cutting edge several times.
4. Switch to a finer grit of sandpaper and repeat step 3 until the blade is sharp.
5. Use a wire brush or steel wool to remove any metal shavings from the blade.

Method 2: Using a Sharpening Stone

1. Choose a sharpening stone with a grit that matches the existing grit of the blade.
2. Wet the stone with water or vinegar to create a slurry.
3. Place the blade on the stone and hold it at a 45-degree angle.
4. Draw the blade along the stone several times, applying light pressure.
5. Turn the blade over and repeat step 4 on the other side.
6. Continue sharpening on the stone until you achieve the desired sharpness.
7. Use a wire brush or steel wool to remove any metal shavings from the blade.

Step 4: Reassemble the Tool:

Once the blade is sharpened, reassemble the tool following the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 5: Maintain the Edge:

To maintain the edge of your clippers and garden shears, sharpen them every few uses. You can also apply penetrating oil to the blade after each use to prevent rust and corrosion.

Conclusion:

Sharpening your clippers and garden shears is an essential part of maintaining your gardening tools. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can keep your tools in top condition and ensure they work effectively. Remember to disassemble the tool, clean it thoroughly, sharpen the blade using a file or a sharpening stone, reassemble the tool, and maintain the edge regularly.

Photoelectron spectroscopy has long been used to learn about the electronic structure of molecules. Surprisingly, an intense femtosecond laser can yield a time-reversed version of PES. The laser field tunnel-ionizes a molecule; the electron can recombine with the parent ion and give off an xuv photon. The photon contains information about the molecule. An image of a single electron orbital wave function can be obtained within the Hartree Fock approximation. Pump-probe experiments with femtosecond and even attosecond time resolution can be performed to observe chemical reactions and electronic motion. A range of experiments will be described that seek to understand the potential of this new technique.

Title: Attosecond Imaging of Molecular Structure and Molecular Orbitals

Lesson Overview:
In this lesson, we will learn about attosecond imaging, a technique used to study the electronic structure of molecules. We will cover the basics of photoelectron spectroscopy, the process of using an intense femtosecond laser to obtain information about molecular orbitals, and how this information can be used to study chemical reactions and electronic motion.

Section 1: Introduction to Attosecond Imaging

What is Attosecond Imaging?
Attosecond imaging is a technique used to study the electronic structure of molecules by observing the motion of electrons within them. This is done using an intense laser pulse that ionizes the molecule and allows the electron to recombine and emit an xuv photon.

Why is Attosecond Imaging Important?
Attosecond imaging is important because it allows scientists to study the electronic structure of molecules in real-time. This can provide valuable insights into chemical reactions and electronic motion, which can be used to develop new materials and technologies.

Section 2: Photoelectron Spectroscopy

What is Photoelectron Spectroscopy?
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a technique used to study the electronic structure of molecules by measuring the energy of electrons emitted from the molecule when it is exposed to light.

How does PES work?
In PES, a molecule is exposed to light and the energy of the emitted electrons is measured. This information can be used to determine the electronic structure of the molecule, including the energy levels of its molecular orbitals.

Section 3: Attosecond Imaging with Femtosecond Lasers

What is an Attosecond Laser?
An attosecond laser is a type of laser that emits light pulses that last for only a few hundred attoseconds (10^-18 seconds). These lasers are incredibly powerful and can be used to ionize molecules and study their electronic structure.

How does Attosecond Imaging work?
In attosecond imaging, an intense femtosecond laser pulse is used to tunnel-ionize a molecule. The electron can then recombine with the parent ion and give off an xuv photon. This photon contains information about the molecule's electronic structure, including the energy levels of its molecular orbitals.

Section 4: Applications of Attosecond Imaging

What can Attosecond Imaging be used for?
Attosecond imaging can be used to study chemical reactions and electronic motion in molecules. This can provide valuable insights into the behavior of molecules and help scientists develop new materials and technologies.

Example: Studying Photosynthesis
Attosecond imaging can be used to study the electronic structure of photosynthetic molecules and how they interact with light. This can help scientists understand the mechanisms behind photosynthesis and develop new ways to improve the efficiency of solar cells.

Usefulness of 3-dimensional CT angiograms obtained by 64-section multidetector row CT scanner for dural arteriovenous fistula.
The authors reported a case of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in the left transverse-sigmoid sinus, in which 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) angiograms (3D-CTAs) by a 64-section multidetector row CT scanner were useful for its diagnosis and treatment. The DAVF in the left transverse-sigmoid sinus appeared on the digital subtraction angiogram. 3D-CTAs were obtained by a 64-section multidetector row CT scanner before an endovascular treatment. The feeders and draining veins of the DAVF were clearly demonstrated on the 3D-CTAs, which clarified the relationship between the normal dural sinuses and DAVF. The DAVF was successfully treated with endovascular surgery, a transvenous embolization through the mastoid emissary vein, which was easily detected by using the 3D-CTA, showing both the subcutaneous vein and calvalium. 3D-CTAs by a 64-section multidetector row CT scanner are useful for both diagnosis and treatment of DAVFs.

ProtonVPN was launched in 2017 with a mission to help the Internet live up to its promise of freedom of information. To keep that mission alive, we are supporting the development of WireGuard, a new VPN protocol.

We are celebrating this holiday season by supporting organizations that align with our mission of providing online security and privacy to everyone. You can donate directly to WireGuard’s development (link below), or you can participate in the associated ProtonMail Lifetime account charity auction.

Millions of people rely on ProtonVPN every day to keep their online activity secure and private. However, to maintain this level of security, we must continuously update and upgrade our software and protocols. We are committed to staying at the forefront of technological developments, and that’s why we are following WireGuard’s development closely. We feel that WireGuard, a new open-source VPN protocol, could be instrumental in building a better VPN.

What makes WireGuard® interesting?

WireGuard® is a next-generation secure tunneling protocol that has streamlined its code down to just a few thousand lines. This makes it much simpler than earlier VPN protocols, such as IPsec and OpenVPN. Fewer lines of code make the WireGuard protocol easier to deploy, easier to use, and easier to audit. This increased simplicity also means WireGuard has increased security, higher performance, and is very resource efficient.

This improved efficiency places less load on VPN servers, allowing for a server to theoretically reach a higher maximum speed. These reduced loads mean that a single server could support more users, and those individual users could achieve higher average speeds. In this regard, WireGuard compares favorably to OpenVPN, which maxes out at approximately 300 Mbps, even on faster connections. WireGuard can potentially overcome this “speed limit.”

Most importantly, WireGuard and its cryptography have been formally evaluated and verified by several research groups. Their findings have convinced us that WireGuard is secure enough to be considered for ProtonVPN.

When will WireGuard come to ProtonVPN?

We have already set up the first WireGuard ProtonVPN servers for internal testing and experimentation, but it will be some time before we do a public deployment. As far as VPN protocols go, WireGuard is still very new. Bugs and other instabilities could still exist, and there are not many software libraries that support WireGuard. Support within mainline Linux distributions is also still in progress.

Today, ProtonVPN provides native clients on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, and to fully support WireGuard, the protocol would need to mature on all those platforms. In short, there is quite a bit of work ahead (not all of it dependent on us) before WireGuard can reach the same level of compatibility as legacy protocols like OpenVPN and IKEv2, and be ready for deployment to millions of users.

However, the advantages of WireGuard are compelling, and for this reason, we are keen to support the development of the protocol, which is why this year, we have been raising money for the WireGuard developers. You can learn more about the WireGuard project and how we are supporting them here.

We look forward to supporting WireGuard just as we’re happy to support any open-source project that increases the public’s access to strong encryption. These projects bring us ever closer to our goal of a secure, private, and free Internet.
