Alessandro Ranaldi captures the look and feel of the Disney aesthetic perfectly, and the visual gags and over-the-top acting are hilarious. It’s a fun comic to read from beginning to end. What’s not so great about DISNEY VILLAINS: HADES #4? In fairness, there’s not much that isn’t great about this issue. The jokes land, the action is serious enough to be engaging but slapstick enough to still be fun, and the plot has plenty of meat to keep the progress fun beyond mindless action. Perhaps the most feared of the gods, he is described by both Homer and Hesiod as 'pitiless', 'loathsome', and 'monstrous' Hades. What’s great about DISNEY VILLAINS: HADES #4? Kalan’s script nails what a continuation of Hades’s story should be from every angle. Jestemy najduej dziaajcym zakadem pogrzebowym w Stargardzie. Hades was both the name of the ancient Greek god of the underworld ( Roman name: Pluto) and the name of the shadowy place below the earth which was considered the final destination for the souls of the dead. ![]() Meg drops the urn Hades : Names Hades, Lord of the dead. You give me the key to bringing down Wonder Breath, and I give you the thing that you crave most in the entire cosmos: your freedom. Younger readers will have no trouble enjoying the violence, but parents need not be concerned about the scenes getting too intense for younger readers. Hades : hands her a Hercules urn Which is exactly why I got a feelin youre gonna leap at my new offer. Before the issue is done, lightning will flash, statues will fall, and Hades’s band of misfits will learn a valuable lesson about a leopard’s spots.ĭISNEY VILLAINS: HADES #4 is (almost) wall-to-wall action, but the violence still fits neatly within the age-appropriate cartoon variety. Now, the competing bands fight an army of skeletons, keep a sleeping dragon from waking up, and hope a temporarily blinded Medusa never sees the light. Unfortunately, Jason and his crew get there at the same time. When last we left Hades and his band of hopeful misfits, they found a backway onto the island where the Golden Fleece resides. Elliot Kalan’s take on one of Disney’s most evil villains is just what the doctor ordered for Disney fans. DISNEY VILLAINS: HADES #4 is proof positive that you don’t have to get fancy, complicated, or subvert expectations to tell a fun story.

12/29/2023 0 Comments Vmd model![]() 13 used the sparrow search algorithm (SSA) to optimize artificial neural networks (ANN model), showcasing the advantages of simple implementation, high search accuracy, fast convergence speed, stability, and robustness. Seo 11 and He 12 developed a combined runoff prediction model based on the VMD algorithm, demonstrating improved prediction accuracy after data decomposition and reconstruction. However, when the LSTM model learns time series, it faces challenges such as a poor early feature memory effect, leading to the loss of features in the initial learned part, and difficulties in fully capturing the entire time series features 10.Īs research progresses, there is an increasing demand for higher accuracy in runoff prediction. The Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural network model has been widely employed in runoff prediction due to its nonlinear prediction capability, faster convergence speed, and long-term memory effect. Fan Hongxiang and others developed a meteorological runoff model for the Poyang Lake basin based on the Long short-term memory neural network, effectively simulating the runoff process, capturing extreme runoff values, and reflecting short-term fluctuations. 9 utilized LSSVM and CEEMDAN to predict monthly runoff at Changshui hydrological station. The LSTM model demonstrated strong adaptability to various prediction indicators. Roy 8 used the LSTM model to predict ET0 in multiple watersheds with daily and multi-step forward predictions. 7 proposed a prediction model that combines empirical mode decomposition and Metropolis Hastings sampling Bayesian model for hydrological prediction. 6 combined quantum behavioural particle swarm optimization algorithms with variational modal decomposition and SVM to build a monthly runoff prediction model. Both domestic and foreign researchers have conducted extensive studies to improve the accuracy of prediction models, resulting in fruitful results. The pursuit of a runoff prediction model with high accuracy and applicability has been a topic of constant concern in hydrological forecasting. ![]() These models involve various optimization algorithms such as Chaos Optimization Algorithm 1, bald eagle search optimization algorithm 2, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) 3, and artificial neural network models 4, 5, which have deepened their intersectionality with hydrology. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technology, numerous deep learning algorithms have emerged, and comprehensive forecasting models based on intelligent methods and numerical weather prediction have been proposed. They are crucial for the efficient utilization of water resources, flood control, and disaster reduction. Runoff simulation and prediction play a vital role in water resource management, regulation, and rational planning. This model holds promise for the effective prediction of monthly runoff in the lower Yellow River. In conclusion, the proposed VMD-SSA-BiLSTM model, utilizing the sparrow search algorithm and bidirectional long and short-term memory neural network, enhances the smoothness of the monthly runoff series and improves the accuracy of point predictions. The Root-mean-square deviation of VMD-SSA-BiLSTM model is 30.6601, which is 242.5124 and 39.9835 lower compared to the BiLSTM model and the VMD-BiLSTM model respectively the mean absolute percentage error is 5.6832%, which is 35.5937% and 6.3856% lower compared to the other two models, respectively the mean absolute error was 19.8992, which decreased by 136.7288 and 25.7274 respectively the square of the correlation coefficient ( R 2) is 0.93775, which increases by 0.53059 and 0.14739 respectively the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient was 0.9886, which increased by 0.4994 and 0.1122 respectively. The results demonstrate that the VMD-SSA-BiLSTM model outperforms both the BiLSTM model and the VMD-BiLSTM model in terms of prediction accuracy during both the training and validation periods. The proposed model was applied to predict monthly runoff at GaoCun hydrological station in the lower Yellow River. This study proposes a VMD-SSA-BiLSTM coupled model for monthly runoff volume prediction, which combines the advantages of Variational Modal Decomposition (VMD) for signal decomposition and preprocessing, Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) for BiLSTM model parameter optimization, and Bi-directional Long and Short-Term Memory Neural Network (BiLSTM) for exploiting the bi-directional linkage and advanced characteristics of the runoff process. The accurate prediction of monthly runoff in the lower reaches of the Yellow River is crucial for the rational utilization of regional water resources, optimal allocation, and flood prevention. 12/29/2023 0 Comments Voynich book![]() We are convinced that the Voynich codex is a document produced by Aztec descendants that has been unfiltered through Spanish editors. This is a breakthrough in Voynich studies. To this end, our recent research suggests that the Voynich is a 16th century codex associated with indigenous Indians of Nueva España educated in schools established by the Spanish. Cryptological analyses by modern computer programs nevertheless have determined that the language is real and not a hoax, as has been suggested by some.ĭespite the fact that this codex is largely an herbal, the interpreters of this manuscript with two exceptions, have not been botanists. All the sections contain text in an unknown writing system, yet to be deciphered. It has been divided by previous researchers into sections known as Herbal/Botanical/Pharmacology Balenological/Biological Cosmology one page known as The Rosette and a final Recipe section. The manuscript (potentially equivalent to 232 pages), or more properly a codex, consists of many foldout pages. The linguistics think it is a real writing, likely related to Roma/Syriac, and they have some very convincing arguments.The Voynich Codex is one the most fascinating and bizarre manuscripts in the world. One that has some believability is the video analysis below. There are many crank analyses floating around the Internet. The pharmaceutical chapter features large drawings of cannons, sometimes referred by researchers as containers and pipes, which don't make any sense the context.Īnd the missing pages? Well, those pages are from the very same section together with the index. The biology, or “Balneological", section, contains the drawings of the nymphs that leave the impression of being part of a chemical or natural process. The strange illustrations appear to be related to paranatellon - a term used in the astrology for the angle of the zodiac (of which there are 30 per sign). Capricorn and Aquarius are missing altogether. The astrological signs start with Pisces, which is actually rather unusual. 30 small Nymphs holding stars and an emblem of the zodiac in the center. The Zodiac illustrations are one of the most famous parts of the Voynich manuscript. One of the illustration is a six-page fold-out, consisting of nine connecting circles with four smaller items on the corners. ![]() With only twelve pages, this is the shortest chapter.Ĭosmological chapter is full of complex and large drawings. The so called astronomical focus on the sun, moon, and star spirals that might represent the galaxies. The central mystery of the manuscript is that none of the plants in the herbarium besides sunflower and a pepper plant don't actually exist in nature. After a lot of attempts to identify the herbal illustrations, only two of the drawings could be successfully distinguished - a sunflower and a pepper plant. On the surface, it is similar to other early renaissance books, Voynich but features unique and original drawings that can’t be found in another source or book. ![]() The herbal section covers more than the half of the book, filled with illustrations of plants, leaves, and paragraphs of text and symbols written carefully close to the illustrations. The Manuscript can be divided into 7 sections. The idea that the Voynich manuscript is a medical text seems plausible, but maybe it really is just a bunch of meaningless symbols and drawings. The theories and superstitions are endless. A complete nonsense, written by a medieval quack, trying to impress his clientele.A rare prayer book of the Cathars, saved from the inquisition.Early discoveries of the 13 th century, written in an unknown language and code.No one really knows, but the three most viable suggestions are: If true then it is almost certainly not "real writing". Some suggest that it has a too low information content to be an alphabetic (syllabic) representation of a human language. The people who have tried to understand the manuscript suggest that it is a cookbook with sections of cosmology. It has 240 pages, approximately 10 of them missing. The medieval book is handwritten, with illustrations of plants and astrology. But no matter how professional or amateur they were, no one could understand the secrets behind it. He presented to the public in 1915 and around that time cryptographers became interested in the writings. The book was passed from hand to hand and gaining the fame under the name of “Unknown book.” In 1912, a book dealer named Wilfrid Voynich purchased from the Villa Mondragone in Italy. Since he couldn’t read the text, he was hoping that Athanasius could do it for him, but neither was he up to the task. In a written letter Athanasius Kircher claims that he found a book with an unknown script and illustrated pictures of plants, chemicals, and stars. The Beinecke MS 408, or mostly know as “The Voynich Manuscript,” has been a mystery since the moment it was discovered back in 1639 by Georgius Barschius. 12/29/2023 0 Comments Sensei free downloads![]() You can rely on the Monitor module when you want to clearly understand what is happening with your Mac hardware. In addition to being a Mac optimization tool, Sensei also serves as an excellent system information monitor. This central performance dashboard is the best way to get a quick overview of your Mac. If we have other accessories connected, the dashboard may include that too. In the case of the MacBook Pro 13′ I used for testing, Sensei was showing system info, battery consumption, storage overview, RAM usage, CPU resources, and GPU usage. As you can see below, the central dashboard is just unique, and it provides such a detailed, distinct, and data-driven overview of your Mac. Sensei is a real beauty in terms of the User Interface. What’s inside Sensei? Performance Dashboard Instead, the algorithms choose areas where healthy cleaning is possible. For instance, it does not even touch system-based folders that could make a problem. Sensei keeps everything safe at all times too. And, a click on the OK button would show you the fully-fledged dashboard of this program. Once you have done this, the Sensei setup process is complete. What it mainly needs is Accessibility permission. Once you install and launch Sensei, you have to provide specific permissions to the software. The entire process of installation takes less than a minute. You can download the installation file from the official website of Sensei, and it isn’t heavy at all. And, it’s relatively easy to install and get started with.Ĭompared to the process of installing other tools in the category, the installation of Sensei is straightforward. However, this new-generation Mac performance tool comes with the right set of features that every macOS Pro user has ever wanted. The Sensei app for Mac is a piece of software that helps you to monitor, analyze, and improve your Mac’s performance.ĭeveloped by Cindori, Sensei is comparatively new to the world of macOS cleaners. ![]() Sensei in the Japanese language means master. We have been testing Sensei on our 13′ MacBook Pro for quite some time, and our opinions reflect the experience we had with the piece of software. In this article, we will be reviewing what Sensei for Mac has to offer. ![]() Sensei, a brand-new macOS performance tool, is an exception, though. For instance, they don’t show you how much of the CPU resources you are using. While there are so many macOS boosting tools like CleanMyMac X and junk cleaners like CCleaner, they do not provide enough information about the device. To prevent all these, you should have a place where you can overlook the entire performance of your Mac. Also, hardware issues with the battery, fan, and cooling tech could make things a lot worse. However, Mac also suffers from the problem of junk files, temporary dump, and background-running apps. One of the popular myths is that Mac devices don’t slow down over time. The JLPT N4 is divided into three sections, so it’s a good idea to take breaks in between these sections.There are so many myths about Mac and other Apple products. Next, here are the files for each individual section. This is the same format you will use to submit your final answers on the JLPT. Though you will likely need to use a computer to listen to the audio for the listening section. I recommend printing each file first, this way you can take the test away from a computer. Below are all of the files you will need to take the N4 practice test. 12/29/2023 0 Comments Base64 decode js![]() ![]() If you want to learn more about Base64 conversions in JavaScript, read this guide. You can even use it to perform ASCII, HEX, UTF-16, and UCS2 encodings and decodings. The Buffer object is not just limited to Base64 conversions. We looked at how to use the native Buffer module to perform the Base64 encoding and decoding in a Node.js application. That's all for Base64 encoding and decoding in Node.js. log (str ) // Base64 Encoding in Node.js Conclusion toString ( 'utf-8' ) // print normal stringĬonsole. from (base64, 'base64' ) // decode buffer as UTF-8 const str = buff. Here is what it looks like: // Base64 encoded string const base64 = 'QmFzZTY0IEVuY29kaW5nIGluIE5vZGUuanM=' // create a buffer const buff = Buffer. All you need to do is create a buffer from the Base64 encoding string by using base64 as the second parameter to om() and then decode it to the UTF-8 string by using the toString() method. The Base64 decoding process is very much similar to the encoding process. The second parameter in om() is optional when dealing with plain-text (UTF-8) strings. In the above example, we created a buffer from the string and used the toString() method to decode the buffer as a Base64 string. log (base64 ) // QmFzZTY0IEVuY29kaW5nIGluIE5vZGUuanM= toString ( 'base64' ) // print Base64 stringĬonsole. from (str, 'utf-8' ) // decode buffer as Base64 const base64 = buff. Here is an example: // plain-text string const str = 'Base64 Encoding in Node.js' // create a buffer const buff = Buffer. If no character encoding is specified, UTF-8 will be used as the default. This method takes two parameters, a plain-text string, and the character encoding, and creates a buffer or binary data array for the given encoding. To convert a string into a Base64 encoded string, we first create a buffer from the given string using the om() method. Let us look at the below examples that explain how to use the Buffer object to perform Base64 encoding and decoding in a Node.js application. This includes to and from UTF-8, UCS2, Base64, ASCII, UTF-16, and even the HEX encoding scheme. Meet Base64 Decode and Encode, a simple online tool that does exactly what it says: decodes from Base64 encoding as well as encodes into it quickly and easily. The Buffer object provides several methods to perform different encoding and decoding conversions. Internally, Buffer represents binary data in the form of a sequence of bytes. Buffer is available as a global object, and you don't need to explicitly require this module in your application. In Node.js, you can use the Buffer class to encode and decode Base64 data without the need for the btoa() and atob() functions. ![]() This article also shows how to handle UTF-16 strings. However, the atob () function doesn't work properly if the encoded data contains DOMStrings which are 16-bit encoded. Javascript has a built-in function named atob () which performs Base64 decoding. Luckily, Node.js provides a native Buffer module that can be used to perform Base64 encoding and decoding. Learn how to decode a Base64 encoded data back to normal text in Javascript. These methods are part of the window object and are only available in the browser. Unfortunately, Node.js doesn't support standard JavaScript functions like atob() and btoa() for Base64 encoding. Today, you'll learn how to do the Base64 encoding and decoding in a Node.js application. In an earlier article, we looked at how to Base64 encode and decode a string in Java and JavaScript. 12/28/2023 0 Comments Samsung fm radio tunerThat thing turned out to be shrouding my entire PC setup in a cloud of noise that would interfere with reception well into the shortwave range. Even got it replaced when it died (presumably capacitor plague) a few years later. Many years ago in the early 2000s I bought a reasonably fancy metal-cased Fast Ethernet switch from some eBay seller. A few types of trimmer capacitors were problematic long-term. Tuner frontend alignment might be way off. Anything switch-mode is potentially critical. LED lights in particular vary heavily in terms of EMI, some are dead quiet even on AM (I suppose little more than a capacitor dropper power supply) but some LED drivers have been found to be impeding radio reception even beyond the FM band (not just wiping out the AM bands as is more usual). You may have some interference sources near your antenna. In urban areas with a crowded band, overloading of the receiver can be a real issue. It also helps not to have a POS for a choona. 1990 and may have been some kid's first "hi-fi" at the time.Ī dipole antenna is something for people who live at most a few dozen miles away from some reasonably strong stations. As it is very much enthusiast territory though, you must get the basics out of the way first.Ĭlick to expand.You don't mean the cheap-looking compact stereo pictured above though? That thing is ca. TIC is a good source for FM tuner related info, along with the associated FMtuners group. This makes it easier to get away from domestic interferences sources as well (or, conversely, a handy tool in identifying those). (I mean, I have pulled in stations something like 1500 km away at night with a lowly Technics SA-GX100 receiver in the past, but it wasn't the last word in selectivity.) You may have better luck finding a decent portable radio for AM purposes, especially if aided by an external tuned loop (e.g. Of the FM/AM tuners you are going to find, a lot will be quite mediocre on AM. A highly directional FM antenna would generally be placed on a rotor and rotated remotely instead. ![]() AM loops are generally placed in reach of the user for orientation purposes. I believe a bit of searching may well turn up a disused 3-element somewhere, maybe even something fancier (don't confuse with old TV antennas though, even if a combination wasn't too uncommon). They are commonly placed on the roof (with adequate lightning protection) or at least in the attic as a result. Expect unbalanced outputs at up to 3 kOhms of output impedance (so decent audio cable shielding and non-excessive length required), typically 750 mV out for 75 kHz of deviation on FM.įor an FM antenna - even a basic dipole - to have its intended directivity, it must be placed as freely as possible, substantially away from anything metal or solid walls. Your average choona is not going to have any digital outputs, we are talking a technology that peaked in the '80s and early '90s. Hence why a compact stereo such as the one pictured above is going to have two antenna inputs - one 75 ohm coax which will take a dipole or Yagi and other such FM antennas with a balun, another being a high-impedance balanced input that takes a loop antenna for AM (which needs to be the same inductance / capacitance as the one supplied as it's usually part of a tuned circuit that is tracking the reception frequency). The bands are literally two orders of magnitude apart in frequency and correspondly, wavelength. Unfortunately, there's no Bluetooth support at the time of writing.There is no such thing as an FM and AM antenna. Simply tap the hamburger menu (≡) in the top-left and tap Output to Speaker. You can choose to direct the sound to your phone's speakers as well. If you aren't using a speaker, you don't have to listen through the headphones you connected. That means you can use your wired headphones, wired earbuds, or a wired speaker. Practically anything that plugs into your device and has a wire will work. If the app detects an activated FM chip, you'll need an antenna next. ![]() As an alternative, you can explore these Chrome extensions that let you listen to radio as you browse. If it can't find a supported chip, the download wasn't a total waste. So if you don't want to check NextRadio's list, download the app to see if your phone is compatible. Unfortunately, Apple removed NextRadio from its app store in December 2018. Once you've determined if your phone supports NextRadio, you'll have to use Google Play. 12/28/2023 0 Comments Tencent wechat daus wechat 200m maus![]() ![]() Mini programs that sit within a super app spare individuals the effort to download yet another standalone app. The report further breaks down that mini programs in WeChat had 681 million MAUs in that month, indicating that more than 70% of WeChat’s users tapped on at least one mini program icon in that period.

Its action mechanisms encompass increased cellular proliferation, migration, and adhesion. ![]() 3–5 In contrast to traumatic ablative (e.g., laser resurfacing) and non-ablative (e.g., intense pulsed light ) skin rejuvenation modalities that induce secondary tissue repair by causing controlled damage to either the epidermis or the dermis, PBM is atraumatic, and bypasses the initial destructive step by directly stimulating regenerative processes in the skin. 1 Because of the combination of high degree of penetration in skin 2 and absorption by respiratory chain components, light in the spectral range from 600 to 1300 nm is useful for promoting wound healing, tissue repair, and skin rejuvenation. However, both novel light sources that have not been previously used for PBM have demonstrated efficacy and safety for skin rejuvenation and intradermal collagen increase when compared with controls.Ī ltering cellular function using low level, non-thermal LED light is called photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level light therapy (LLLT), and is a medical treatment modality of increasing clinical importance. Conclusions: Broadband polychromatic PBM showed no advantage over the red-light-only spectrum. The blinded clinical evaluation of photographs confirmed significant improvement in the intervention groups compared with the control. Results: The treated subjects experienced significantly improved skin complexion and skin feeling, profilometrically assessed skin roughness, and ultrasonographically measured collagen density. The data collected at baseline and after 30 sessions included blinded evaluations of clinical photography, ultrasonographic collagen density measurements, computerized digital profilometry, and an assessment of patient satisfaction. Irradiances and treatment durations varied in all treatment groups. Of these volunteers, 113 subjects randomly assigned into four treatment groups were treated twice a week with either 611–650 or 570–850 nm polychromatic light (normalized to ∼9 J/cm 2 in the range of 611–650 nm) and were compared with controls ( n=23). Materials and methods: A total of 136 volunteers participated in this prospective, randomized, and controlled study. Because the action spectra for tissue regeneration and repair consist of more than one wavelength, we investigated if it is favorable to apply a polychromatic spectrum covering a broader spectral region for skin rejuvenation and repair. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, lasers and LEDs may offer some disadvantages because of dot-shaped (punctiform) emission characteristics and their narrow spectral bandwidths. Background data: For non-thermal photorejuvenation, laser and LED light sources have been demonstrated to be safe and effective. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of two novel light sources for large area and full body application, providing polychromatic, non-thermal photobiomodulation (PBM) for improving skin feeling and appearance. |
