Now, it’s their turn. And the price could be their lives. “I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t.” That’s what Allie Whitman tells herself every night as she lies awake. Sometimes she even believes it. But mostly she knows deep down that her inability to make a hard choice has put millions of lives at risk, including her own. Now the only one who can help her is her lawyer, Connor Norman. Unfortunately, Allie’s actions have destroyed Connor’s trust in her--and may destroy much, much more. Rick Acker is one of the market\u27s best-kept secrets. When the Devil Whistles blends legal thrills, spies, and military action, offering some unique twists. Acker\u27s characters and settings come to life, and he again breathes new ideas into the genre. Fast-paced and thought-provoking, his third book is his best yet. --Eric Wilson, NY Times bestselling author of Valley of Bones and Fireproof More than once while reading When the Devil Whistles, I had to remind myself that I wasn\u27t reading John Grisham. Rick Acker\u27s pacing and plot are terrific. A wonderful read from a writer I wish I\u27d discovered sooner. —Angela Hunt, author of Let Darkness Come.https://scholarship.law.ua.edu/harper_lee_prize_books_2011/1000/thumbnail.jp

Dataset supporting the University of Southampton Doctoral Thesis "Novel fibres for next-generation fibre optic gyroscopes"
No full textDataset supporting the University of Southampton Doctoral Thesis "Novel fibres for next-generation fibre optic gyroscopes".
This is an ensemble of all gyro data acquisition runs for the multicore IFOG (MCIFOG ) and the benchmark PM IFOG (Benchmark IFOG) described in the thesis. The conditions for each individual test data run is given in an excel workbook which tabulates all the relevant conditions for the run. The Readme file gives a further description of all the data files.
All data can be processed via the MATLAB scripts contained in the folder "Gyro Data Analysis".
Process data by updating the "main_dir" variable in the main script, "analyze_gyro_data_v8.m", to match the data folder which is to be processed.
The temperature log for a given run can be processed simultaneously by enabling the "use_thermal_data" option.
Descriptions of processing options and other analysis features is given in the comments of the MATLAB code.
A detailed description of the test configuration for each gyro run is given in the excel files:
"MCIFOG 1 Test Log.xlsx" and "PM Gyro Test Log.xlsx"
Some of the data included in this set is given in the following publication:
A. Taranta, A. Gillooly, V. I. Kopp, D. Neugroschl, M. Ibsen, C. Emslie, and J. Sahu, "Performance Characteristics of a Multicore Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyroscope Using a 7-Core Fiber," in 2020 DGON Inertial Sensors and Systems (ISS) (IEEE, 2020), pp. 1–20.

Architectural metaphors of knowledge: the Mundaneum designs of Maurice Heymans, Paul Otlet, and Le Corbusier
No full textThe author discusses the architectural plans of the Mundaneum made in the 1930s by the Belgian modernist architect Maurice Heymans in the footsteps of Le Corbusier and in collaboration with Paul Otlet. The Mundaneum was the utopian concept of a world center for the accumulation, organization, and dissemination of knowledge, invented by the visionary encyclopedist and internationalist Paul Otlet. In Heymans's architecture, a complex architectural metaphor is created for the Mundaneum, conveying its hidden meaning as a center of initiation into synthesized knowledge. In particular, this article deconstructs the metaphorical architectural complex designed by Heymans and focuses on how the architectural spaces as designed by Heymans are structured in analogy to schemes for the organization of knowledge made by Otlet. In three different designs of the Mundaneum, the analogy is studied between, on the one hand, the architectural structure (designed by Heymans) and, on the other hand, the structure of the cosmology, the book Monde, and the vision of knowledge dissemination as invented by Odet. The article argues that the analogies between the organization of architectural space and knowledge, as expressed in the drawings of Heymans and Otlet, are elaborated by means of a mode of visual thinking that is parallel to and rooted in the art of memory and utopian imagination
Axillary bud development in rose
No full textAxillary buds form the basis of flower production of a rose crop. Within a rose crop there exists an undesired large variation in shoot number and size, which affects flower yield. Part of this variation may be traced back to early variation in axillary buds. The aim of the research reported in this thesis was to enlarge the knowledge and insight in the development of axillary buds. It was investigated to what extent the growth of an axillary bud into a shoot can be influenced during axillary bud formation and to what extent during actual outgrowth into a shoot. Factors studied were bud age, bud position, assimilate supply and temperature. Growth potential of the buds was studied both in situ and in isolation (grafted or in vitro), enabling to distinguish between direct effects on the buds and indirect effects via the parent plant.An axillary bud contains the lower part of the future shoot. The axillary buds which are most likely to form the first basal shoots are already present as secondary buds in the bud which is used for propagation. Later formed basal shoots usually develop from basal axillary buds of the basal shoots. Each basal shoot was shown to be connected to only a segment of the root xylem. Later formed basal shoots may restrict the growth of the older basal shoots by limiting the xylem serving the older basal shoots.Axillary buds needed a certain developmental stage to be able to break. Bud break also required release from correlative inhibition. As long as axillary buds were correlatively inhibited, they remained in the vegetative stage. They were not dormant, but continued to grow although at a low rate. When released from inhibition their developmental programme (bud break, leaf initiation and flower initiation) was already set to a large extent. However, they displayed a high degree of plasticity in their development into a shoot, in response to ambient conditions in which they were growing. Number of leaves preceding the flower appeared to be determined during axillary bud formation and increased with increasing bud age, decreasing position along the shoot, increasing assimilate supply and decreasing temperature. Rate of bud break increased with increasing position, increasing temperature during bud formation and increasing temperature after release from inhibition. Shoot diameter correlated with pith diameter. Number of pith cells in the axillary bud reflects the potential diameter of the subsequent shoot. Final pith diameter was dependent on cell expansion after bud break and was reached soon after start of shoot growth. Increased assimilate supply and decreasing temperature positively affected expansion of the pith cells and as a result the pith diameter. Length and weight of the shoot at harvest and growth period were largely dependent on the assimilate supply and the temperature after release from inhibition
