![]() ![]() The main Indigenous settlement at Yuquot ("windy place") is still important for the remaining Nuu-chah-nulth, many of whom work in pulp mills at Gold River and Campbell River. At first the Nuu-chah-nulth prospered from the sea-otter fur trade that followed European explorations, but the introduction of diseases such as smallpox virtually wiped them out. In the ensuing Nootka Sound Controversy, Spain eventually agreed to a convention (1794) according to which both nations were free to navigate and fish in the Pacific, to trade and establish settlements. In 1789 a Spanish force occupied the sound and built a fort 2 months later a British force arrived and a quarrel developed. They were great whale hunters, pursuing them far out to sea in whaling canoes. ![]() They had a rich existence and culture based on whaling, river fishing, hunting and foraging. Soon after, the region became a centre of trade and then of competition among Russia, Britain and Spain. The first residents of Nootka Sound were the Mowachaht and Muchalaht peoples. Cook first called the inlet King George's Sound, then Nootka Sound, thinking this was its Indigenous name. The sound was likely first explored by James Cook in 1778, although Peréz Hernandez had approached it 4 years earlier. The coastal environment was particularly bountiful in fish of many varieties, and the semisedentary Nuu-chah-nulth developed an elaborate culture. They all spoke the Wakashan Language with different variations from their own culture. He grouped a bunch of tribes together all under the Nootka, yet they were different people. They were the only Indigenous people in Canada to specialize in whaling and were the first in BC to meet Europeans. When Captain Cook first met these people, he referred to them as the Nootka, a mistaken name that has stuck with them for years. The first inhabitants of the region were the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka), who made their living by hunting and fishing. One of these reaches 65 km inland to Strathcona Provincial Park, another to the sawmilling community of Tahsis. From a cluster of forested islands near the mouth of the sound, three deep inlets (Tahsis, Tlupana and Muchalat) penetrate inland. Nootka Sound, BC, is an inlet on Vancouver Island's western coast, 270 km northwest of Victoria. ![]()

![]() ![]() This extends to the rocket launcher that locks onto enemies, as well as the lightning gun that envelops enemies in a bolt of lightning that can travel to other enemies nearby. Whether it be the machine gun that allows you to spray down enemies, or the powerful shotgun that eviscerates anything close while also serving as a handy tool to propel you upwards in the air, each weapon is designed to feel particularly punchy and fun to use. For that, you’ll need to make the most of the weapons they drop as you take them out. Mighty begins levels equipped with his trusty red arm cannon, a reliable weapon for sure, but not one that is going to make much of an impact when a multitude of the Void King’s cronies come hurtling towards you in unison. The quality of the music doesn’t quite reach the heights where it will end up in my personal music rotation, but it does a brilliant job of amplifying the feeling of the level you’re playing. ![]() ![]() The epic synth-rock that accompanies this already part of the level truly adds to the already intense moment. The soundtrack also has its fair share of bangers, with my favourite track appearing towards the end of the “Planet Zandbak” level where you are making your way to the front of a heavily occupied weapons convoy. Backgrounds and foregrounds alike exhibit plenty of detail, while levels are brimming with plenty of vibrant colours, with firefights full of explosions and hordes of enemies adding further. As a self-proclaimed glutton for pixel art in indie games I often find myself enamoured by pixel aesthetics of all shapes and sizes, but there’s no denying that Mighty Goose has an attractive visual look. While the narrative isn’t great, Mighty Goose impresses with its quality pixel art aesthetic. ![]() ![]() Genome-wide association study identifies HLA 8.1 ancestral haplotype alleles as major genetic risk factors for myositis phenotypes. Researchers that are developing forensic sequencing kits or are performing population studies, can register on and add loci and allele sequences with a short and simple application interface (API). Analogous to Genbank, its aim is to provide permanent identifiers for forensically relevant allele sequences. It offers permanent identifiers for sequenced forensic alleles (STR or SNP) and their microvariants for use in forensic allele nomenclature. We present the Forensic Loci Allele Database (FLAD) service, made freely available on. There is not yet a consensus on how sequenced profiles should be reported. The main benefits of sequencing are increased multiplexing scales and SNP detection. It is difficult to predict if and when massively parallel sequencing of forensic STR loci will replace capillary electrophoresis as the new standard technology in forensic genetics.

We recommend yearly follow-up with colonoscopy from age 6 and simultaneous video-capsule small bowel enteroscopy from age 8. Our findings show the association between bi-allelic germline PMS2 mutations and severe childhood-onset gastrointestinal manifestations, and support the notion that patients with early-onset gastrointestinal adenomas and cancer should be investigated for CMMR-D syndrome. ![]() Tumours of all patients showed microsatellite instability and/or loss of PMS2 expression. The fourth proband developed a cerebral anaplastic ganglioma at age 9 and a high-grade colerectal dysplastic adenoma at age 10 and carries a homozygous c.2174+1G>A mutation. Two intragenic PMS2 deletions were found. The third patient was diagnosed with multiple colorectal adenomas at age 11 he developed a high-grade dysplastic colorectal adenocarcinoma at age 21. A splice site c.2174+1G>A, and a missense c.137G>T (p.Ser46Ile) mutation in PMS2 were identified. In the second family, both the proband and her brother had multiple intestinal adenomas, initially wrongly diagnosed as familial adenomatous polyposis. Genetic testing identified a complete PMS2 gene deletion and a frameshift c.736_741delinsTGTGTGTGAAG (p.Pro246CysfsX3) mutation. The first proband developed a cerebral angiosarcoma at age 2 and two colorectal adenomas at age 7.

Mods YearĮnderal: Forgotten Stories (Special Edition) In July 2022, SureAI revealed their upcoming commercial project: Dreadful River, a roguelike adventure game which is set to be released in early 2023 on Steam Early Access. In March 2021, a community-made port of Enderal to Skyrim Special Edition was released on Steam, featuring improved visuals and technical performance on account of the updated Skyrim engine. In January 2021 SureAI announced they were working on a new commercial game. Nehrim's Steam release contains achievements, as well as new patches to improve the mod. In 2019, SureAI announced they would also be releasing Nehrim to the Steam store for free at a later date, which they did in June 2020. The mod received positive reviews from users. Forgotten Stories restored cut content from the original release, and added new quests and classes. In February 2019, Enderal was reissued via the Steam store with its new addon, Forgotten Stories. SureAI also began work on a yet unannounced project later in 2018. In September 2018, SureAI released their first commercial game: Mad Restaurant People, a casual restaurant management game. It was released in German on 2 July 2016 and in English on 13 August 2016. Enderal was SureAI's first mod to include both English and German voice acting. In June 2012 SureAI announced a new total conversion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, called Enderal: The Shards of Order. SureAI won PC Gamer's mod of the year award for Nehrim, which was also a contestant for best role-playing video game. Mod DB selected SureAI as one of the best modding teams of 2010 for Nehrim: At Fate's Edge. ![]() Nehrim: At Fate's Edge was released in 2010. In May 2009, SureAI released Cube Experimental, a mod for Fallout 3. Shortly after releasing Arktwend, SureAI began work on their next project, a full conversion mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion called Nehrim: At Fate's Edge. Both of these mods (and SureAI's other full conversion mods for The Elder Scrolls games) are set in the fictional world of Vyn. Myar Aranath released in October of 2005, along with SureAI's official website. In May 2005, SureAI merged with another modding team, Black Raven, who were working on their own Morrowind total conversion project called Myar Aranath: Relicts of Kallidar. SureAI's first project, Arktwend: The Forgotten Realm, began development in March 2003 as a full conversion mod for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and SureAI itself was founded in October 2003. They have also released 1 standalone commercial project, with another set to release in late 2022. ![]() SureAI has released 6 total full conversion mods, which are all free since they modify pre-existing games. SureAI is a German team of video game developers, best known for creating several total conversion mods of Bethesda Softworks' The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. ![]() ![]() ![]() By tracking the shifting patterns through time, researchers can watch a gravitational wave ripple through the facility. Those length changes alter the time it takes the laser beams to bounce back and forth, which in turn changes the pattern the beams make where they meet. When a gravitational wave passes through Earth, it slightly stretches one of the arms and compresses the other. Each L-shaped facility consists of two arms more than two miles long that meet at a right angle.īy bouncing lasers back and forth within each arm, physicists can measure their lengths with an accuracy so astonishing, it would be like measuring the distance between us and Alpha Centauri-the closest star outside our solar system-to within a hair's width. The observatory consists of two facilities: one in Louisiana, the other in Washington State. Starting in the 1970s, physicists including Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, and Barry Barish sketched out the idea that later became LIGO. In 2017, three of LIGO's founding scientists were honored with the Nobel Prize in physics. Scientists formally announced the success in February 2016. Laser Interferometry Gravitational-Wave Observatory-aka LIGO-detected the rumble that two colliding black holes gave off 1.3 billion years ago. The first direct detection of gravitational waves took place on September 14, 2015, when the U.S. Calculations made clear that this energy loss came in the form of gravitational waves-a discovery that won Taylor and Hulse a Nobel Prize in 1993. As the pair of pulsars spun around each other, they grew closer together, which indicated that they were giving off energy. In 1974, astronomers Joe Taylor and Russell Hulse tracked a pair of spinning stellar corpses called pulsars. Though Einstein later doubted the waves' existence, we have had indirect evidence of them since the 1970s. Detecting gravitational wavesĮinstein's general theory of relativity first predicted the existence of gravitational waves, which the famous scientist himself noted in 1916. It just takes the right instrument to hear them.ĭetecting gravitational waves on Earth was a challenge that took roughly a century to complete, since the ones that wash through the planet are incredibly tiny. For gravitational waves, spacetime is the medium. The difference is that sound waves vibrate through a medium, like water or soil. ![]() We can hear gravitational waves, in the same sense that sound waves travel through water, or seismic waves move through the earth. And unlike the gentle drop of a stone in a pond, the events that trigger gravitational waves are among the most powerful in the universe. But unlike sound waves pond ripples, which spread out through a medium like watter, gravitational waves are vibrations in spacetime itself, which means they move just fine through the vacuum of space. Gravitational waves are distortions in the fabric of space and time caused by the movement of massive objects, like sound waves in air or the ripples made on a pond's surface when someone throws a rock in the water. ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, when prodded on details, Meir admits that Black Fox is at TRL 5. He also says that Eltics has come up with a way for a commander to remotely program the IR disguises of Black Fox–shrouded vehicles. "We created a way to make a window thermally invisible, so soldiers can look outside their vehicle and have greater situation awareness," he says. When discussing thermal camouflage, former Eltics CEO and current shareholder Ronen Meir focuses on existing and pending patents. "It won't be sitting around in boxes."Įltics, meanwhile, seems even further behind with its Black Fox solution. "The system will have to be built to customer specifications," he says. The active thermal camouflage hasn't deployed with any military yet, and even if ordered tomorrow, the system would take years of additional trials and customization before it could be fielded. Sjölund also won't discuss the technical-readiness level (TRL) of ADAPTIV and when it will be tested in an operational environment. But, he says, "the system would passively reduce the radar cross-section of a platform because the tiles have an inherent capability of absorbing radio waves." He does grant that synthetic aperture radar, mounted on an aircraft or drone, could image a ground vehicle using ADAPTIV. Likewise, a so-called "vehicle interface sheet" prevents IR hotspots from flaring up should a tile be lost in combat. He insists that the 1000 to 2000 tiles required to cloak an infantry fighting vehicle will not slow it down or chew into its fuel reserves (though he won't say how much it weighs). Even when ADAPTIV cannot fool the human eye, it can frustrate a targeting algorithm.Īlthough ADAPTIV is a super-secret system, Sjölund has a ready response to most objections to his system. But a naval ship, used to combat ranges in the nautical miles, could have a larger tile. You don't want a thermal pattern that doesn't look natural." For example, a vehicle engaged in urban warfare would need hand-size tiles to fool IR imagers at a distance of 200 to 300 meters. "When the enemy is closer," Sjölund says, "you need higher 'resolution,' so the 'pixels' have to be smaller. Think of the tiles as hot and cold pixels comprising a large thermal picture. The actual size of the tile depends on the host platform and its normal distance of engagement). (That's only the land vehicle version of the system. Finally, in 2005, Swedish Defence Material Organisation initiated the Steerable and Controllable IR Signature program, which helped fund ADAPTIV.ĭesigned to blend in with the temperature of its surroundings or mimic the IR signature of something else (for instance, a low-priority Humvee or an enemy tank), ADAPTIV is often shown in the form of 5.5-inch hexagonal tiles. These early attempts ran into snags with excessive power requirements and systems that were too fragile for use on the battlefield. So by the mid-1990s, the Swedish government began experimenting with active temperature modulation to hide IR signals. Passive IR camouflage also yields ho-hum results, says Peder Sjölund, ADAPTIV project manager at BAE Systems. "The heat must escape somehow, or you will reduce the soldier to a hot, stinky puddle." "But you are running up against the laws of physics," camouflage expert retired Lt. military has tried, and continues to try, special dyes and materials in uniforms to shield a soldier's IR signature from these imagers. One can now find this technology on tactical drones and sniper rifles. Since their advent in the 1970s, thermal imagers-sensors that use the mid- and long-range IR spectrum (3.5 to 5, 7.5 to 14 microns) to cut through night, fog, and smoke-have been slowly but inexorably taking over the modern battlefield.

![]() ![]() Electronic LocksĮlectronic Locks are the lock for the modern age. They will not keep an intruder from entering your home. Where these types of locks work are when they are used at or near the top of a door to prevent children from access. Each operates by connecting the door to the jam, either by manually sliding a cylinder or attaching a chain. Barrel Bolt and Chain Lockīoth barrel bolts and chain locks provide very limited security. Lever handle locks are often used in schools, and places where those using the door may have dexterity issues. Lever handle locks work just like knob locks except for the long, bar-style handle. Knob locks can be either key or thumb turn operated some also feature a hidden unlock that uses a special pin to disengage the lock through a hole in the knob. Knob locks are built into a regular round doorknob. Handle locks are the least secure type regular door lock. You use either a key tumbler or a thumb turn (or other unlock option) to engage the locking mechanism, which only prevents the cylinder from being turned to open the door. There are a few different options in traditional handle locks, though they work essentially the same. The type of lock that people are probably most familiar with handles locks, these are built right into the doorknob. These are standard locks in apartment buildings or as an added security measure since they can be installed on almost any door easily. Jimmy proof locks used cylinders that when engaged, prevents the door and jam for being separated. ![]() Jimmy proof deadbolts are mounted on the interior surface of a door instead of part of the actual door. Locking the thumb turn eliminates the risk of accidentally being locked out without a key. These locks are often found in areas where children may be able to lock a door keeping adults out. You can have a traditionally secured single-cylinder style deadbolt or lock the inside, preventing the thumb turn from being able to lock or unlock the door. However, inside the thumb turn is an additional key lock this allows the best of both worlds. These bolts feature a traditional key lock on one side and a thumb turn on the other side. Lockable Thumb turnĪnother type of deadbolt is one with a lockable thumb turn. Therefore, these types of deadbolts are rarely used in primary entrances or fire exits. The risk of a double cylinder deadbolt is that there is no way to unlock the deadbolt in an emergency. A key is required to lock or unlock the deadbolt from either side of the door. ![]() Double Cylinderĭouble cylinder deadbolts look and operate in much the same as a single-cylinder with one significant difference. Usually, the thumb turn is found on the interior of a door allowing the door to be secured from the inside without the need of a key. These are the type of deadbolt that features a keyhole on one side and a thumb turn on the other allowing both key and non-key operation depending on which side of the door you are on. Single-cylinder deadbolts are perhaps the most common. How the lock is operated determines which type of deadbolt it is. All deadbolts require some type of rotation to disengage the lock. What makes deadbolts unique is that they cannot be moved easily from the locked to unlock position. Deadboltsĭeadbolt is often considered the most secure type of lock. However, there are still several door locks options to choose from, each with their own strengths, and obvious weakness. When it comes to door locks, thankfully the field narrows significantly. You may be surprised to know that there are well over two-dozen different types of locks, from padlocks to complicated pinion locks, there is a lock made to protect just about anything. Most residential properties can be well secured with a Grade 2 rated lock, but the MOST SECURE locks with have a Grade 1 rating. According to their system, the most secure locks are those that possess a Grade 1 rating. However, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) knows how to establish security and generates a security rating for all locks. So, which locks provide the best security? Security may not be the easiest thing to define. Determining the most secure locks for your home may be more complicated than it seems. Some locks are merely practical, some offer mild protection against unwanted access, while others focus on security beyond the door itself. However, not all locks are created equal. Every lock is designed to keep your door closed. The single most important feature in home security is a secure lock. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the contrary, the on-chip process based on antibodies could capture only partially the antibiotics, as well as the protocol based on beads functionalized with small groups specific for sulfonamides. These solutions of purified antibiotics are particularly suitable for further analyses, for example, with innovative methods, such as label-free detection. ![]() The most promising results are obtained employing the functionalization with aptamers, which are able not only to capture and release almost all tetracycline present in the initial sample but also to deliver an enriched and simplified solution of antibiotic. The setup of these different strategies as well as the performance of the different functionalizations are carefully evaluated and compared. The microbeads are functionalized either with aptamers, antibodies or small functional groups able to interact with specific antibiotics. Here, a microfluidic method based on the use of magnetic microbeads specifically functionalized and inserted in polymeric microchambers is proposed. In the context of food safety, new methods based on microfluidics could offer better performance, providing improved rapidity, portability and sustainability, being more cost effective and easy to use. ![]() The presence of residual antibiotics in food is increasingly emerging as a worrying risk for human health both for the possible direct toxicity and for the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. ![]() |
