![]() This allows the conversion of units by multiplying the initial measurement by one (or more) forms of the number 1. This process uses the fact that any number or expression can be multiplied by "one" without changing its value. Performing the math calculation (3 divided by 4) transforms the number into a decimal fraction, 0.75. In this example of the common fraction ¾, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator. A denominator represents the total number of parts of the whole. A conversion ratio (or unit factor) always equals one (1), where the numerator and the denominator have the same value expressed in different units.Ī numerator represents the parts out of the whole or how much you have. A conversion factor is an expression for the relationship between units that is used to change the units of a measured quantity without changing the value. This problem-solving method is based on the principle that quantities are defined as equalities. Converting between measurement units is a very important skill when working within and between measurement systems. A square shape (area) has two dimensions (e.g., length and width), while a cube (volume) has three dimensions (e.g., length, width, and height). Some measurements have one dimension, for example length. For example, changing the magnitude of a SI quantity or converting between SI and non-SI units.

![]() On the Blur XC, the seat tube angle varies between 76.5° on a size Small and 75.7° on a size XL. There are also variable seat tube angles for better fit across all sizes. On the size Small Blur XC, you'll get 430mm chainstays and that goes up to 438mm on the size XL. There are also longer reach numbers across the board and shorter 60mm stems.Īnother change is that the chainstay length now varies with frame size. Compared to the last generation of Blur, that 68.3° head tube angle on the new Blur is 0.7° slacker, and the 67.1° head tube angle on the Blur TR is 1.4° slacker than on the previous Blur TR. The Blur TR has a 67.1° head tube angle compared to the Blur XC's 68.3°. The Blur XC and Blur TR use the same frame, but the longer fork on the TR makes its geometry is a touch less steep than the Blur XC. The Wilder is available in the TR model in mauve. They say they used their carbon knowledge to tune the rear end precisely where it's needed for a consistent and desirable leverage curve. In addition, the design makes the lockout easier to reach on the rear shock when riding.Ī flex stay design requires tuning the right amount of spring force into the carbon to achieve the balance of flex, damping and durability, and Santa Cruz says that having their own composites lab in California and composites specialists allowed them to experiment with layups. Santa Cruz says it was easier for them to achieve desirable XC suspension curves with their Superlight single pivot suspension design with flex stays than with their VPP suspension design, and that it got its name "because it’s the superlightest suspension we’ve ever made." Indeed, having less parts involved in the suspension design was a big contributor to shaving off 289 grams from the previous generation Blur. Santa Cruz's Superlight Single Pivot Suspension Design The new Santa Cruz Blur uses a Superlight single pivot suspension design with flex stays instead of their usual VPP suspension design. The frame, bearings and optional Reserve 28 XC wheels ( that I reviewed last month) include a lifetime warranty.Įach Blur configuration comes in two colour options, Dark Matter or Salmon, with a separate mauve colourway for the Juliana Wilder, and prices range from $4,599 USD to $9,449 for the Blur TR and Wilder TR and $5,199 USD to $11,299 USD for the Blur XC. Other details include a threaded bottom bracket, molded chainstay and downtube protection, a chain guide, and SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger. Whether you've got the 100mm XC version with a 68.3° head tube angle and a seat tube angle that varies between 75.7° and 76.5°, or the 115mm TR version with a 67.1° head tube angle and seat tube angles that vary from 74.8° to 75.1°, you'll have ample hydration with dual water-bottle mounts and another water bottle mount on the bottom of the downtube. Don't be mistaken, however, this isn't a downcountry bike Santa Cruz says "It's still a true XC bike for courses and riders with more trail in them." It's just a bit more relatable to riders than a full-fledged World Cup XC race bike.īoth the XC and TR builds have a threaded bottom bracket, molded chainstay and downtube protection, a chain guide, and SRAM's Universal Derailleur Hanger. In addition to having more travel, the TR builds have slightly beefier Maxxis Rekon tires instead of the Aspens that come on the XC build, a full height adjust dropper post, no lockout remote, and larger brake rotors. The XC version is, as you may have guessed, designed for Olympic cross-country racing, while the TR version is designed for everything from cross-country marathons to multi-day stage events. Juliana also joins in on the cross-country fun with the Wilder, which uses the same frame as the Blur, but only comes in the TR version. The carbon 29er has size-specific chainstays and variable seat tube angles, and comes in two configurations, an XC build with 100mm of travel front and rear and a "TR" build with a longer stroke shock that delivers 115mm of travel and a bigger 120mm fork.

It is an ordinary subject indeed that can not be done by a dignitary attached to the person of the Pape." It contains many qualities that captivate in a subtle way. Line 2: General: " My thanks for the reading that you have given me. Line 1: The title is a set of notes whose last remains unreadable, for the first, the author of the folio 116v quantifies its results: " I could read 730 syllogisms certainly but 74 of them remain difficult to understand" I give you here the translation in english of the four lines belonging to this folio 116v. ![]() For example, the famous word " oladabas" would be in fact the assembly of " o la dabas" for " omnem | litteram | dabas" giving " all the literature you confided" and " michicon" a Latin form of " eucharisticon" for " thanking". It seems that the folio 116v was written in abbreviated Latin language. And of course, some decrypted sentences belonging to the folio f66r and f80r.įolio f116v - The Key The Voynich's manuscript language uses Latin abbreviations and its syntax is based upon syllogisms. We present in this article the linguistic rules, a first version of the coding table and the dictionary used. We have synthesized the results obtained in the article: "Voynich's manuscript - Reading an Elegant Enigma", published at the end of 2018 in the bulletin of ARCSI n☄5 and which you will find below. These two systems inherit the techniques conventionally used in the abbreviated writing of Latin." Quite simply, one could say: "The author of the manuscript employs a system of coding letters combined with a phonetic system. On the basis of this indication we analyzed the text of the manuscript and found that this track gave results. ![]() In it, the author indicated that the Voynich manuscript was written using a dictionary of abbreviation in Latin. At the end of 2017, we demonstrated that folio 116v was simply a text written in abbreviated Latin. In order to maintain a state veterinary license, vets must obtain continuing education and may need to renew their license on a regular basis (often every 3 years). These exams typically test the vet's knowledge of the state's laws and regulations governing veterinary medicine. State Veterinary Licensing - In order to practice veterinary medicine, some states also require a veterinarian to pass a state-specific examination. must have a DVM degree. A DVM degree means that the person you are considering is, in fact, a qualified veterinarian and is fully qualified to perform the duties of the profession. When a person graduates from an American veterinary school they receive a DVM-Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree (sometimes called a VMD degree). The two certifications you're looking for are:ĭVM (VMD) - Doctor of Veterinary Medicine - The first thing that you need to check is that your vet is qualified to practice in the U.S. Image below is for reference purposes only. Refer to the system manual or vendor's support site for specific information for the platform being used. I can either turn on Intel VMD and use the VMD driver from Intel (part of IRST) for my two SSDs - with no RAID, I am not interested in setting up RAID, or I can disable Intel VMD and run standard NVMe drivers (or Samsung NVMe for my one Samsung SSD). VMD (Visual Molecular Dynamics) ( Humphrey et al. Gilbert completed a one-year small animal internship and additional surgical training before relocating to New Jersey for roles in the medical device and animal health industries. Available settings and location in the menu can vary. Sam Gilbert received both his BSE and VMD degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. Locate the VMD Setup Menu for the platform. ![]() If you don't see certifications hanging in the reception area, just ask to see their licenses or contact your state board for more information. Step 2: Enable the Intel VMD controller in BIOS. Visit the vet's office and have a look around. You may also want to find out whether other people working in the hospital are licensed, such as registered veterinary technicians. ![]() The starting structures for these calculations can be imported from different chemical formats. When you're seeking a vet, check to ensure the veterinarian you are considering is licensed in the U.S. Taking this into account, we developed molUP: a VMD plugin that offers a complete set of tools that enhance the preparation of QM and ONIOM (QM/MM, QM/QM, and QM/QM/MM) calculations. So what do those certifications mean? Here are some of the most common for primary vets. Do the hospital's hours line up with your availability? Will you and your vet get along? But beyond the day-to-day practicalities of choosing a vet, there are numerous certifications an individual vet may hold. ![]() You might be feeling stressed at the prospect of choosing a new vet for your animal - after all, there are lots of factors to consider. ![]() The Sigma 18-35 is spectacular, I can't recommend it enough. It worked ok, but wasn't any better or faster than just taking regular pictures. I also tried taking pictures of a high contrast flat subject next to a ruler at an angle to determine how to make the adjustments. I got different, and I think inferior results than with my taking regular pictures routine described above. I'm very happy with the results.Ĭoincidentally, I also tried adjusting other ways previously but wasn't happy with the results: I tried the "dot tune" method. I think my settings are something like 3 and zero on wide/tela. I then took another picture with the microfocus setting one notch higher or lower. I adjusted by taking photos in my normal use case (of people, indoors in good light), viewed the picture on the camera fully zoomed in, and determined if the focus looked good. I used microfocus adjustment within the camera, I didn't use the Sigma dock. I have a 18-35 which I use with a Canon 70D. So I calibrated only 120mm first at all 4 distances. First of I have learned from Sigma reps that adjustment of one FL/distance effects the other FL/distance. They don't post charts taken at the proper distance to prove it and expect us to take their word for it.Īs far as 18-35mm I don't have it but I have 120-300mm sport which required the same calibration. Some people claim that if they buy Nikon camera and Nikon lenses it does not need calibration which in most cases is just hearsay. Sigma lens is calibrated but it is not calibrated to your camera. Two lenses 16-35mm and 24-120mm I bought with it were not calibrated the whole Kiddie Kaboodle was delivered to Nikon for calibration. When I bought D800e it was not calibrated either. The lens is not factory calibrated, which means it will most likely require calibration at home with Sigma USB Dock. If you have any further questions be free to ask. If you can, try that lens before buying, and if you can, try more then one copy. When I look at amazon or B&H reviews of the lens all I can see is that people are very satisfied, as much as some people are satisfied with OEM lenses. My Sigma 18-35 when shot at 35mm f1.8 is more accurate than two 35 f/1.8 DX primes I have tried. Maybe less thorough calibration will yield very good results as well. I know some people are frightened of the process and some people think that lens should work properly out of the box considdering how much money they have invested, but there are people who enjoy shooting charts, calibrating and other do it yourself methods. So basicaly a lot of mounting and dismounting the lens as well as connecting and disconnecting with the PC. First you make test shots to determine if lens has front or back focus at given focal length, then, depending on the issue you dismount the lens, connect with the dock, enter the values, then test again. You start of with 18mm and closest distance of 28cm. With Sigma USB dock there are 4 focal lengths (18, 24, 28, and 35mm) and 4 focus distances to calibrate which makes for the total of 16 adjustment values to be entered. Now with current experience and gear, I would say two hours. I didn't have tripod at the time so I spent some time making setup for camera to stand on. Could be four-five hours, but I wanted to be very thorough. Thanks for the reply, how much time did you spend calibrating it? This sites review said it took them 5 hours.Ī few hours, I don't recall. Here is my review of this lens here wrote: My piece of advice is to try the lens before buying and cancel your purchase if you notice inconsistant autofocus which unlike front and back focus cannot be calibrated. ![]() The issue is most prominent when outer focus points (non cross type †) are used. When there is enough light and contrast autofocus is highly accurate, but is suffers to some degree at low light, but then again most lenses do and most cameras for that matter. However and ironicaly, this lens is meant for low light shooting among other things but autofocus accuracy in low light is not something to write home about. I use it for all kinds of photography because it is very versatile. If you think you're not up to it than maybe this lens is not for you. ![]() Can anyone who has this lens comment on focusing issues or any other pros / cons? I'll be using it on a Canon 80d. I'm considering buying the Sigma 18-35 Art lens but concerned about focus issues I've read about and not excited about a possible 5 hours of time on MFA (according to the DP review). ![]() The platform list at least is exhaustive, condensed into three letter abbreviations ranging from the obvious (“WIN”, "PS4”) to the obscure (“AFT”, “PAN”). The tiny infobox about each game contains its title, the year it was published, and the platforms it’s on-that’s it. Don’t look to this volume for information about the developers, how the games were made, or technical details. The guide focuses on gameplay above all else. ![]() If there is going to be a shooter, it’ll be a “boomer shooter” in the style of the original 1990s trailblazers like Doom or Duke Nukem. ![]() To be sure, you won’t find on these pages the kinds of indie games that are going head-to-head against big-budget, “ triple A” open world RPGs or first-person-shooters. For example, even though Night in the Woods doesn’t have a pixel look, it’s still recommended for adventure game aficionados. It’s primarily to refer to games that would be inviting to fans of classic video games, rather than a specific style. It is, as they acknowledge, a squishy definition: On 152 richly illustrated pages, the first volume presents detailed overviews of many games which, while mostly released in the 2010s, seemed “retro-styled” to the editors. That’s where Hardcore Gaming 101’s Guide to Retro Indie Games comes in. The flip side of this blessing is the problem of discovering the indie gems you truly want to play. The explosion of indie gaming in the 2010s has blessed players with the triumphant return of genres largely written off by major publishers, from 16-bit-style “ metroidvanias” to point-and-click adventures. |
