The Reel Story of Human
Cloning: Drama Gone Wild
by Judith F. Daar
The familiar adage that science
outpaces law at every turn yields a treasure trove of source
material for creators of dramatic fiction. This past decade alone
saw a veritable gush of scientific advances that are stand-alone
plot lines of intrigue, mystery and drama. Witness the burgeoning
yet politically charged debate over human stem cell research,
the public/private alliance that unraveled the identity of the
human genome, and of course, there was Dolly, everybody's favorite
cloned sheep.
With these life science advances
as its backdrop, CBS recently premiered Century City,
a new mid-season drama that drops viewers in a Los Angeles law
firm, circa 2030. To reify the futuristic genre of the show,
the writers offer two storylines pulled from the imagined headlines
two decades hence. The first episode's main plot weaves the tale
of a 7-year old boy born with a defective liver in need of a
transplant whose father whisks him off to Singapore to be cloned,
thus creating an identical organ for harvest. The sub-plot ponders
the merits of age-defying genetic enhancements, taken up with
seemingly remarkable success by members of a 1980s boy band.
Though placed a generation in the future, these dramatic enactments
reflect a contemporary sensibility about genetic and reproductive
technologies that is dangerously misinformed.
By all accounts, Century
City will not find its way back to the fall line-up, opening
a dismal 45th in the ratings following a collective thumbs down
by reviewers. "Gratingly preachy" offered Robert Bianco
of USA Today; "sterile and formulaic" hurled Matthew
Gilbert of the Boston Globe; "humdrum casting and a dead-end
concept" proclaimed Tom Shales of the Washington Post, and
those were the good reviews. Yet despite this deserved panning
of the show as an entertainment vehicle, Century City
offers an opportunity to spend a moment reflecting on the relationship
between popular culture and science, particularly science that
literally operates at the core of human existence.
A peek at the CC plot
reveals much about the current perception that cloning technology
will be used for the diabolical manufacture of human beings rather
than as a reproductive measure of last resort for incurable infertility.
At the outset, we are introduced to Axel Sisto, the ailing boy
whose father has been arrested by the Customs Service for entering
the country with a vial containing a cloned human embryo. Turns
out, sometime in the past 25 years Congress outlawed cloning
in the U.S., including the importation of cloned cells. Axel's
father, Miller, travels with his son to Singapore where cloning
is legal. There, according to the young lawyer briefing the firm
in L.A. Law fashion, doctors removed a cell from the boy's
arm, extracted its DNA and created a viable embryo which was
destined for a surrogate mother when it was intercepted by the
feds. The father's plan, but of course, is to orchestrate the
cloned child's birth so that a surgeon can remove half of his
liver for transplant into his dying twin brother.
Undaunted by this nefarious
scheme, the firm agrees to handle the case on a pro bono basis.
Its mission B to win back the detained embryo from the government.
Enter the Assistant United States Attorney, oozing unction at
every pore, who argues in a virtual courtroom pretrial hearing
that the embryo is not property and therefore cannot be claimed
for possession by the father. The judge agrees that the case
should be heard by a jury which, in television terms, means stay
tuned after the commercial break. But before the speedy trial
ensues, the father huddles with his lawyers and pipes up with
a sure-fire strategy to defeat the government's argument that
the embryo should be treated as a person under the law. What
if, he suggests haltingly, we "pinch off" the embryo
so that only the liver and supporting circulatory system develop.
No head, no heart, voila -- no person. This, I fear, is where
the ethical rubber meets the fantastical road to Doomsdayville.
Portrayals of human cloning
as a method of organ farming, or worse, sanctioned killing via
the systematic removal of body parts, is dangerously inflammatory
and scientifically inaccurate. As to the former, CC is
littered with language convicting cloning of dooming the human
species, describing a post-cloning world as one devoid of all
humanity. This point is best captured during the predictably
melodramatic courtroom scene when, in delivering his closing
argument, the prosecutor snarls that the father is trying to
retrieve the cloned embryo so that he can "grow it like
a crop."
The only countervailing imagery
to this Robin Cook vision of cloning comes in the form of a plot
twist. When pressed about the origin of his son's birth, Miller
confesses that Axel is himself a clone, a genetic twin of his
father. Snippets of Chinatown My brother! My Son! do flare,
as the family law angle parades briefly across the screen. But
instead of seizing the moment to note that the child appears
to have a normal, healthy relationship with the world around
him, the lawyers emphasize the boy's congenital liver defect,
perhaps as a subtle reminder (lest we ignored the crashing hammer
on our heads) that cloning equals harm.
As to the technical possibilities
that cloning entails, again the show takes dramatic liberties
that infringe on reality's comfort zone. To begin, if the father
did manage to orchestrate the clone's birth, he certainly could
not yank out the child's vital organs to save his other son.
That would be old-fashioned homicide and would have to be referred
to CBS's other new drama, The D.A. Moreover, the idea
that an embryo could be "pinched off" or partially
grown defies the basic principles of human embryology. Exactly
when would this embryo be decapitated, and why would it survive
without a central nervous system? And finally, I admit to nitpicking
when I wonder why a father would clone a child born with a defective
liver, in order to offer the ailing boy the cloned liver. Hello,
the cloned liver would bear the same defect as that of cell donor.
But these finer points could distract from the furious plucking
of heartstrings that are the viewer's constant companion.
CC is not alone in taking up the cloning mantle in dramatic
fashion. The 1978 film version of Ira Levin's chilling novel,
The Boys From Brazil, features Nazi escapees who succeed
in cloning 94 newborn versions of the twentieth century's most
reviled individual. The horde of Hitlers are placed in adoptive
homes that roughly resemble the Fuhrer's own family situation.
And then as each boy nears age fourteen, his father dies, as
did Hitler's own father at that time, thus recreating the hospitable
environment that will allow each mini-Hitler to become evil incarnate.
A less diabolical but equally absurd cloning rendition is presented
in Multiplicity, wherein overworked family man Michael
Keaton manages to clone himself several times over so that he
can attain the American dream of all work, all play, all the
time. The "wacky" antics that ensue leave wife Andie
MacDowell dazed and confused, while the audience is never confused
about the Hollywood message to "just be yourself."
Fictionalized accounts of scientific
advances are often bereft of even a modicum of scientific truth.
A cloned Hitler, were that ever a possibility, could not experience
the same familial and historical influences that shaped the man
himself short of the truly extraordinary invention of a time
machine. Cloned individuals may bear the same genetic code as
another person, but they will grow from embryo to fetus in the
womb just like everybody else, and they will experience the world
in their own unique way, just like everybody else. Clones are
not born as adults with an implanted frame of reference, but
rather begin life as a single cell whose DNA comes from one,
instead of two, parents.
In the non-reel world, human
reproductive cloning remains a twinkle in the scientist's eye.
Short of bare claims by a group pledging fidelity to a leader
claiming contact with space aliens, it is safe to say the world's
first human clone has yet to be born. But when that child does
emerge from the womb, he or she will join a world at war with
itself over the ethics of that baby's conception. To date, seven
U.S. states have banned reproductive cloning, with virtually
every other state considering similar measures. Congress has
yet to enact a ban, as the issue is bound up with the more palatable
technique of therapeutic cloning, aka stem cell research. Worldwide,
cloning to produce children is illegal in twenty nations, and
the United Nations is poised to include an international convention
on reproductive human cloning on the General Assembly's agenda
for the fall of 2004. Gallup polls consistently reveal that almost
90% of those questioned believe reproductive cloning is wrong.
But the follow-up question, Why?, is never posed.
I suspect that a small but
significant part of the explanation rests in the popular culture
portrayals of cloning as science gone awry. True enough, stories
of healthy, happy families are an anachronism unbecoming the
crucial 18-49 demographic. But is it too much to ask that the
truth about what cloning is and what it is not play a supporting
role in the unfolding drama that pits mad science against a yielding
and powerless human species? If it turns out that Century
City is as doomed as the science of cloning, it has only
itself to blame.

Market Cap: Market capitalization is the market value of a publicly traded company's outstanding shares. Market capitalization is equal to the share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.
Return on Assets (ROA): A profitability ratio that provides how much profit a company is able to generate from its assets.
Relation: Relation shows the cost type of two companies. There are 3 types of relations: COGS, SG&A and CAPEX. COGS: Cost of goods sold is the expense most directly involved in creating revenue. It represents the costs of producing or purchasing the goods or services sold by the company. SG&A: Selling, general & administrative expense. This category includes marketing, salaries, utility bills, technology expenses and other general costs associated with running a business. CAPEX: Capital expenditures are funds used by a company to acquire, upgrade, and maintain physical assets such as property, buildings, an industrial plant, technology, or equipment.
Relationship Value: Amount involved in the relationship adjusted to quarterly-equivalent value.
Search: Highlight target company's network in the whole network.
Show Network: Only show the companies in target company’s network.

When one lives in a row of houses, it is interesting to think of the things which are being done and said on the other side of the wall of the very rooms one is living in. Sara was fond of amusing herself by trying to imagine the things hidden by the wall which divided the Select Seminary from the Indian gentleman’s house. She knew that the schoolroom was next to the Indian gentleman’s study, and she hoped that the wall was thick so that the noise made sometimes after lesson hours would not disturb him.
“I am growing quite fond of him,” she said to Ermengarde; “I should not like him to be disturbed. I have adopted him for a friend. You can do that with people you never speak to at all. You can just watch them, and think about them and be sorry for them, until they seem almost like relations. I’m quite anxious sometimes when I see the doctor call twice a day.”
“I have very few relations,” said Ermengarde, reflectively, “and I’m very glad of it. I don’t like those I have. My two aunts are always saying, `Dear me, Ermengarde! You are very fat. You shouldn’t eat sweets,’ and my uncle is always asking me things like, `When did Edward the Third ascend the throne?’ and, `Who died of a surfeit of lampreys?’”
Sara laughed.
“People you never speak to can’t ask you questions like that,” she said; “and I’m sure the Indian gentleman wouldn’t even if he was quite intimate with you. I am fond of him.”
She had become fond of the Large Family because they looked happy; but she had become fond of the Indian gentleman because he looked unhappy. He had evidently not fully recovered from some very severe illness. In the kitchen—where, of course, the servants, through some mysterious means, knew everything—there was much discussion of his case. He was not an Indian gentleman really, but an Englishman who had lived in India. He had met with great misfortunes which had for a time so imperilled his whole fortune that he had thought himself ruined and disgraced forever. The shock had been so great that he had almost died of brain fever; and ever since he had been shattered in health, though his fortunes had changed and all his possessions had been restored to him. His trouble and peril had been connected with mines.
“And mines with diamonds in ‘em!” said the cook. “No savin’s of mine never goes into no mines—particular diamond ones”— with a side glance at Sara. “We all know somethin’ of them.” “He felt as my papa felt,” Sara thought. “He was ill as my papa was; but he did not die.”
So her heart was more drawn to him than before. When she was sent out at night she used sometimes to feel quite glad, because there was always a chance that the curtains of the house next door might not yet be closed and she could look into the warm room and see her adopted friend. When no one was about she used sometimes to stop, and, holding to the iron railings, wish him good night as if he could hear her.
“Perhaps you can feel if you can’t hear,” was her fancy. “Perhaps kind thoughts reach people somehow, even through windows and doors and walls. Perhaps you feel a little warm and comforted, and don’t know why, when I am standing here in the cold and hoping you will get well and happy again. I am so sorry for you,” she would whisper in an intense little voice. “I wish you had a `Little Missus’ who could pet you as I used to pet papa when he had a headache. I should like to be your `Little Missus’ myself, poor dear! Good night—good night. God bless you!”
She would go away, feeling quite comforted and a little warmer herself. Her sympathy was so strong that it seemed as if it must reach him somehow as he sat alone in his armchair by the fire, nearly always in a great dressing gown, and nearly always with his forehead resting in his hand as he gazed hopelessly into the fire. He looked to Sara like a man who had a trouble on his mind still, not merely like one whose troubles lay all in the past.
“He always seems as if he were thinking of something that hurts him now”, she said to herself, “but he has got his money back and he will get over his brain fever in time, so he ought not to look like that. I wonder if there is something else.”
If there was something else—something even servants did not hear of—she could not help believing that the father of the Large Family knew it—the gentleman she called Mr. Montmorency. Mr. Montmorency went to see him often, and Mrs. Montmorency and all the little Montmorencys went, too, though less often. He seemed particularly fond of the two elder little girls—the Janet and Nora who had been so alarmed when their small brother Donald had given Sara his sixpence. He had, in fact, a very tender place in his heart for all children, and particularly for little girls. Janet and Nora were as fond of him as he was of them, and looked forward with the greatest pleasure to the afternoons when they were allowed to cross the square and make their well-behaved little visits to him. They were extremely decorous little visits because he was an invalid.
“He is a poor thing,” said Janet, “and he says we cheer him up. We try to cheer him up very quietly.”
Janet was the head of the family, and kept the rest of it in order. It was she who decided when it was discreet to ask the Indian gentleman to tell stories about India, and it was she who saw when he was tired and it was the time to steal quietly away and tell Ram Dass to go to him. They were very fond of Ram Dass. He could have told any number of stories if he had been able to speak anything but Hindustani. The Indian gentleman’s real name was Mr. Carrisford, and Janet told Mr. Carrisford about the encounter with the little-girl-who-was-not-a-beggar. He was very much interested, and all the more so when he heard from Ram Dass of the adventure of the monkey on the roof. Ram Dass made for him a very clear picture of the attic and its desolateness—of the bare floor and broken plaster, the rusty, empty grate, and the hard, narrow bed.
“Carmichael,” he said to the father of the Large Family, after he had heard this description, “I wonder how many of the attics in this square are like that one, and how many wretched little servant girls sleep on such beds, while I toss on my down pillows, loaded and harassed by wealth that is, most of it—not mine.”
“My dear fellow,” Mr. Carmichael answered cheerily, “the sooner you cease tormenting yourself the better it will be for you. If you possessed all the wealth of all the Indies, you could not set right all the discomforts in the world, and if you began to refurnish all the attics in this square, there would still remain all the attics in all the other squares and streets to put in order. And there you are!”
Mr. Carrisford sat and bit his nails as he looked into the glowing bed of coals in the grate.
“Do you suppose,” he said slowly, after a pause—”do you think it is possible that the other child—the child I never cease thinking of, I believe—could be—could possibly be reduced to any such condition as the poor little soul next door?”
Mr. Carmichael looked at him uneasily. He knew that the worst thing the man could do for himself, for his reason and his health, was to begin to think in the particular way of this particular subject.
“If the child at Madame Pascal’s school in Paris was the one you are in search of,” he answered soothingly, “she would seem to be in the hands of people who can afford to take care of her. They adopted her because she had been the favorite companion of their little daughter who died. They had no other children, and Madame Pascal said that they were extremely well-to-do Russians.”
“And the wretched woman actually did not know where they had taken her!” exclaimed Mr. Carrisford.
Mr. Carmichael shrugged his shoulders.
“She was a shrewd, worldly Frenchwoman, and was evidently only too glad to get the child so comfortably off her hands when the father’s death left her totally unprovided for. Women of her type do not trouble themselves about the futures of children who might prove burdens. The adopted parents apparently disappeared and left no trace.”
“But you say `if the child was the one I am in search of. You say ‘if.’ We are not sure. There was a difference in the name.”
“Madame Pascal pronounced it as if it were Carew instead of Crewe—but that might be merely a matter of pronunciation. The circumstances were curiously similar. An English officer in India had placed his motherless little girl at the school. He had died suddenly after losing his fortune.” Mr. Carmichael paused a moment, as if a new thought had occurred to him. “Are you sure the child was left at a school in Paris? Are you sure it was Paris?”
“My dear fellow,” broke forth Carrisford, with restless bitterness, “I am sure of nothing. I never saw either the child or her mother. Ralph Crewe and I loved each other as boys, but we had not met since our school days, until we met in India. I was absorbed in the magnificent promise of the mines. He became absorbed, too. The whole thing was so huge and glittering that we half lost our heads. When we met we scarcely spoke of anything else. I only knew that the child had been sent to school somewhere. I do not even remember, now, how I knew it.”
He was beginning to be excited. He always became excited when his still weakened brain was stirred by memories of the catastrophes of the past.
Mr. Carmichael watched him anxiously. It was necessary to ask some questions, but they must be put quietly and with caution.
 It seemed only likely that she would be there.”
“Yes,” Mr. Carmichael said, “it seems more than probable.”
The Indian gentleman leaned forward and struck the table with a long, wasted hand.
“Carmichael,” he said, “I must find her. If she is alive, she is somewhere. If she is friendless and penniless, it is through my fault. How is a man to get back his nerve with a thing like that on his mind? This sudden change of luck at the mines has made realities of all our most fantastic dreams, and poor Crewe’s child may be begging in the street!”
“No, no,” said Carmichael. “Try to be calm. Console yourself with the fact that when she is found you have a fortune to hand over to her.”
“Why was I not man enough to stand my ground when things looked black?” Carrisford groaned in petulant misery. “I believe I should have stood my ground if I had not been responsible for other people’s money as well as my own. Poor Crewe had put into the scheme every penny that he owned. He trusted me—he loved me. And he died thinking I had ruined him—I—Tom Carrisford, who played cricket at Eton with him. What a villain he must have thought me!”
“Don’t reproach yourself so bitterly.”
“I don’t reproach myself because the speculation threatened to fail—I reproach myself for losing my courage. I ran away like a swindler and a thief, because I could not face my best friend and tell him I had ruined him and his child.”
The good-hearted father of the Large Family put his hand on his shoulder comfortingly.
 “You were half delirious already. If you had not been you would have stayed and fought it out. You were in a hospital, strapped down in bed, raving with brain fever, two days after you left the place. Remember that.”
Carrisford dropped his forehead in his hands.
“Good God! Yes,” he said. “I was driven mad with dread and horror. I had not slept for weeks. The night I staggered out of my house all the air seemed full of hideous things mocking and mouthing at me.”
“That is explanation enough in itself,” said Mr. Carmichael. “How could a man on the verge of brain fever judge sanely!”
Carrisford shook his drooping head.
“And when I returned to consciousness poor Crewe was dead—and buried. And I seemed to remember nothing. I did not remember the child for months and months. Even when I began to recall her existence everything seemed in a sort of haze.”
He stopped a moment and rubbed his forehead. “It sometimes seems so now when I try to remember. Surely I must sometime have heard Crewe speak of the school she was sent to. Don’t you think so?”
“He might not have spoken of it definitely. You never seem even to have heard her real name.”
“He used to call her by an odd pet name he had invented. He called her his `Little Missus.’ But the wretched mines drove everything else out of our heads. We talked of nothing else. If he spoke of the school, I forgot—I forgot. And now I shall never remember.”
“Come, come,” said Carmichael. “We shall find her yet. We will continue to search for Madame Pascal’s good-natured Russians. She seemed to have a vague idea that they lived in Moscow. We will take that as a clue. I will go to Moscow.”
“If I were able to travel, I would go with you,” said Carrisford; “but I can only sit here wrapped in furs and stare at the fire. And when I look into it I seem to see Crewe’s gay young face gazing back at me. He looks as if he were asking me a question. Sometimes I dream of him at night, and he always stands before me and asks the same question in words. Can you guess what he says, Carmichael?”
Mr. Carmichael answered him in a rather low voice.
“Not exactly,” he said.
“He always says, `Tom, old man—Tom—where is the Little Missus?’” He caught at Carmichael’s hand and clung to it. “I must be able to answer him—I must!” he said. “Help me to find her. Help me.”
On the other side of the wall Sara was sitting in her garret talking to Melchisedec, who had come out for his evening meal.
“It has been hard to be a princess today, Melchisedec,” she said. “It has been harder than usual. It gets harder as the weather grows colder and the streets get more sloppy. When Lavinia laughed at my muddy skirt as I passed her in the hall, I thought of something to say all in a flash—and I only just stopped myself in time.  But you have to bite your tongue to hold yourself in. I bit mine. It was a cold afternoon, Melchisedec. And it’s a cold night.”
Quite suddenly she put her black head down in her arms, as she often did when she was alone.
“Oh, papa,” she whispered, “what a long time it seems since I was your `Little Missus’!”
This was what happened that day on both sides of the wall.

Abstract: We describe Hidden Semi-Markov Support Vector Machines (SHM SVMs), an extension of HM SVMs to semi-Markov chains. This allows us to predict segmentations of sequences based on segment-based features measuring properties such as the length of the segment. We propose a novel technique to partition the problem into sub-problems. The independently obtained partial solutions can then be recombined in an efﬁcient way, which allows us to solve label sequence learning problems with several thousands of labeled sequences. We have tested our algorithm for predicting gene structures, an important problem in computational biology. Results on a well-known model organism illustrate the great potential of SHM SVMs in computational biology. 1

Hello World !!! This is my first project using d3js. Being a GIS professional, visualization is always a part of job.
I always wanted to learn different ways for visualizing data.Let it be a simple plot using R or a choropleth map using Arcmap .
In this project I am trying to display how the NFL season 2016-17 went about. Ofcourse was surprised to see the Cowboys doing so well.
May be we got our own Tom Brady.I started working with the data grabbed from the NFL site for how the season went by each seasson.
Below is the location for the each team.
Now if you hover over each team you would see which all teams they played
and how many wins they had as a label under the hovered team.


GSA presents building code to 29 Assemblies in Greater-Accra Region
Accra, Nov. 18, GNA - The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has presented the Ghana Building Code to the 29 Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies in the Greater Accra Region to enable them to enforce the standards.
The exercise was to ensure adoption and use of the code, which was launched by Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia in October last year.
The Code is a set of rules that specify the standards for constructed objects such as building and non-building structures. It covers all aspects of building and construction, ranging from soil testing, quality of building materials, roofing, fire-fighting to accessibility for persons with disability (PWDs).
It also provides guidelines on where to build, the materials to use, specifications for constructing exits, lifts and other essential components of buildings.
Presenting the copies to the MMDAS at a sensitisation programme, Professor Alex Dodoo, the Director-General of the GSA, urged the Assemblies to enforce the code to ensure that permits for buildings were only issued when they passed the quality test.
He also suggested the application of the code to assess all existing buildings to ensure that they were fit for occupancy and those that failed the assessment should be asked to retrofit to bring them to standards.
Prof. Dodoo said the enforcement exercise must begin with public buildings, including; places of worship and state institutions.
The sensitisation workshop for the top officials of the 29 MMDAs was held on the theme: “Decentralising quality infrastructure to facilitate trade and protect consumers.”
It was meant to educate the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), Engineers and Technocrats on the building code and its implementation process.
Prof. Dodoo said the application of the standards in the code would guarantee public safety and create job opportunities along the value chain.
Mr Ishmael Ashitey, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, reiterated the call for strict enforcement of the building code to deal with the unplanned buildings, which were the result of weak regulatory and permitting regimes.
He expressed the hope that the enforcement would help improve access to public places and enhance service delivery.

Authorities descend on Amsterdam airport after jet's warning button hit 'by mistake'
Dutch authorities swarmed Amsterdam's largest airport on Wednesday likely fearing the worst, only to discover that a jet's warning trigger had been pressed accidentally.
Air Europa confirmed via Twitter, after all crew and passengers had been evacuated from the Madrid-bound flight at Schiphol airport, that an alarm had been activated "by mistake."
"Nothing has happened, all passengers are safe and sound waiting to fly soon. We deeply apologize," Air Europa added.
Schiphol resumed normal operations shortly after 10 p.m. local time. A few dozens flights were delayed, but none were canceled.
Dutch authorities had earlier confirmed to ABC News that they were responding to a "suspicious incident" at the airport but couldn't immediately provide additional details.
Marvin Van Der Engh of the Dutch Military Police had confirmed that in investigation was underway.

Leicester City's Ricardo Pereira: 'Premier League has missed Jose Mourinho'
Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira has claimed that Jose Mourinho's arrival at Tottenham Hotspur is a positive development for the Premier League.
by Darren PlantEarlier this week, Spurs parted ways with long-serving boss Mauricio Pochettino before swiftly replacing the Argentine with former Chelsea and Manchester United manager Mourinho.
Pereira, who has previously been linked with a switch to Spurs, has suggested that the 56-year-old's return to the dugout is a boost to both English and Portuguese football.
Speaking to Record, Pereira said: "He's been missed. He's one of the best coaches in the world.
"It's always good for us Portuguese people to get back to work here in England. He's one of the big names in Portuguese football. He'll be able to show his value again, he'll be back in the spotlight. It's more of a challenge for him.
"The league is very balanced. The points difference between 14th and 5th place is quite short."
Should Spurs make an approach for Pereira in January, Leicester are highly likely to reject the bid.

A generic controller with signal input and 2*m
firing signals is provided in
Signal2mPulse, where m
is the arbitrary number of
phases. Additional topology specific controllers with electrical
connectors are also included.
Each controller is equipped with an optional filter to filter the input voltages. By default the filter is enabled.
Such filter is needed if the electrical grid includes a significant voltage drop across the grid impedance distorting the input voltage wave form of the rectifier. The filter included in the PowerConverters library is first order filter with additional compensation of the filter specific phase lag. However, it important to note that the transients of the filters may cause some initial effects which deteriorate after certain periods.
The topology specific controllers allow enabling and disabling
of the firing signals. The internal enabling signal of the
controllers is either derived from the parameter
constantEnable
, if useConstantEnable =
true
. For if useConstantEnable = false
the
internal enabling signal is taken from the optional signal input
enable
.

I'm an Edmonton bassed Software Engineer currently pursuing Master's degree in Software Engineering and Intelligence Systems at the University of Alberta.
Ever since I was a little kid Creating things was my passion.
When I was first introduced to coding with C language. I found it mind-blowing how I could do literally everything with coding and create things from scratch, it was the moment when I finally found my true dream.
After I finished my degree in Electronics Engineering, I decided to officially purse my dream in Software Development and started learning coding from various online resources while working, Which got me closer to my dream. I’m currently looking for Software Developer role in a company that shares my passion and help me grow as a developer while also having a hand developing the innovations of tomorrow.
I'm hounored to mention that I was a Project Leader representing the company and its partner FUTURE CARD and surved as the official spokesperson of the company in Sudan in exhibitions like 'Sudan Information Technology Exhibition'(SITEX 2018)

5. Module Authoring¶
OpenDSA modules are authored using reStructuredText (also known as ReST). The source files for these modules (which can be found in OpenDSA/RST/source) are compiled to HTML (or, in theory, other formats – but we do not support that) by Sphinx. To create a “book”, you must invoke OpenDSA/tools/configure.py, being sure to specify a configuration file (sample of which can be found in OpenDSA/config. Sample books can be compiled using OpenDSA/Makefile. A sample command (run from the OpenDSA toplevel directory) looks like: python tools/configure.py config/OpenDSA.json.
A number of special directives have been created, which are documented in OpenDSA ReST Extensions.
Documentation for writing OpenDSA exercises using the Khan Academy infrastructure is in Using OpenDSA with Khan Academy infrastructure.
Documentation for writing pure JSAV-based proficiency exercises is in Using OpenDSA with Khan Academy infrastructure.
The best way to get a sense for how things work is to look at some existing modules.
5.1. Module Structure¶
Each module is basically a single ReST file. The first thing that will normally appear is the avmetadata directive block. Among other things, this will define the module within the prerequisite structure, which is important when generating a full textbook.
A big reason why we chose to use ReStructuredText for authoring is its ability to pass raw HTML through, allowing us to embed dynamic content (i.e., JavaScript) into our HTML pages while still having the advantage of a markup language for authoring. However, we don’t ever want to actually use the raw directive in our modules if we can avoid it. At this point use of raw should never be needed, as we have a number of directives to use instead: avembed, inlineav, odsalink, and odsascript.
Most exercises and visualizations are embedded into the module from elsewhere using the avembed directive, but small slideshows and dynamically generated diagrams can be included directly using the inlineav directive. Any CSS or JS code that is unique to a specific module page should be maintained in separate files and included using odsalink and odsascript directives, respectively.
Defining which modules will be used in a given book, which exercises are included for credit, and various other aspects of module use are defined with the Configuration system.
5.2. Math and Symbol Escapes¶
All equations within a module are created using LaTeX syntax embedded in a :math: inline directive. This will be converted to appropriate math layout in the resulting HTML file. Note that due to various interactions between reStructuredText and MathJax (which does the LaTeX conversion within an HTML page), you have to use a double backslash for escaping the dollar sign symbol, such as:
This costs \\$5.00.
5.3. Math and Code¶
One of the hardest things when writing modules is making sure that all of the variables and expressions are marked up correctly. In nearly all cases, any variable is either “mathy” or “codey”. Mathy variables and expressions should use LaTeX markup embedded in a :math: directive. “Codey” variables and expressions should be marked up as:
``my codey text``
All variables (and expressions) should always get their appropriate typeface. Avoid using physical markup such as italics or bold for such things, we prefer to use logical markup (that is, math markup or code markup). Sometimes it can be difficult to decide which is appropriate. For example, you might have a function with a variable n for the array size. When it comes time to discuss the analysis of the function, it is probably going to be done in terms of \(n\), a quantity that expresses the array size (as opposed to the function variable n). It can be a subtle point whether the variable or the quantity is intended. Having to typeset it (and so make a conscious decision) helps you to think through what you are trying to convey.
5.4. Code Snippet Support¶
OpenDSA and JSAV provide an extensive framework for integrating code snippets into your modules and visualizations. JSAV provides support through the Pseudocode API for displaying and manipulating your code snippets within an AV. See the JSAV manual for details. Within a module, code snippets are meant to be embedded from a sourcecode file using the codeinclude directive. The default coding language(s) used by a textbook instance is controlled by the code_lang setting in the corresponding OpenDSA configuration file.
The OpenDSA framework and configuration support makes it as easy as possible to be able to compile book instances with code snippets from your desired programming language(s), assuming that the code snippets have been provided by a content developer. The most important principle for managing code snippets is that they should be taken from working programs that can properly support testing of the code that you include into your modules.
All such sourcecode should appear in the SourceCode directory within OpenDSA, with each coding language having its own subdirectory. A given AV can have an associated .json file that defines the configuration for alternate coding languages, including such things as the filename.
Note that in the .json file, a given section of the code block should match the subdirectory name within the SourceCode directory for that language.
5.5. Creating Course Notes¶
OpenDSA uses hieroglyph a Sphinx extension to build HTML slides.
The course notes infrastructures is similar to eTextBook creation, and uses OpenDSA/Makefile. The only difference is the s option for slides when calling the configuration, for example python tools/configure.py s config/OpenDSA.json.
5.6. Internationalization Support¶
OpenDSA supports a sophisticated internationalization framework that attempts to make it as easy as possible to support compiling textbook instances in various (natural) languages. The configuration system allows a book compiler to specify the language of choice, and the system will take module versions in the target language whenever available (the fallback language is English).
As a module author, your .rst files will always appear in a subdirectory of the RST directory coded to the language that you are writing for. Like every other aspect of internationalization, we define these subdirectories using the two-letter ISO 639-1 language codes. Thus, all English-language RST files appear in the RST/en directory.


George Washington Carver
When you can do the common things of life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world.
"Ek Hota Carver" ( Translation: There was a carver ), was a book when I was in seventh grade. So much facinated I was by this man!! A scientist, an inventor and most importantly a struggler. The struggler part touched me the most. A man who always strived for making learning something new and using it for humankind. A person who could not speak for some years excelled at singing and preaching. A very weak child who would have died made many lives better. A man who was rejected from many schools and institutes helped constructing Tuskegee University . Numerous times I read this book, numerous times a cried, laughed and rejoiced.. I am using this project as an excuse to pay triute to a person from which I learned a lot during my childhood.

Richard McMahon has written about using Perforce as the SCM with SwitchTower (here). He’s even written a custom Perforce SCM module for SwitchTower, so if you’re a Perforce user wanting to dabble with SwitchTower, it looks like you’re in luck.
(Richard has given his permission for the Perforce SCM module to be included with the next SwitchTower release.)
