Ruby Roney
No full textRuby was the youngest of nine children. After her mother died in 1904, she arrived by ship from Sydney then drove by horse and buggy out to Delamere Downs Station. She had came to the Territory to live with her uncle and aunt Mr and Mrs Paddy and Mariah Cahill. She moved with the Cahill family to Oenpelli helped with station cooking. During the five years in the bush, the teenager met John (Jack) Roney. They married in Sydney returned to the Territory to manage the Government Experimental Farm at the Daly River from 1916-1919. Having lost her first baby, she went to Sydney for their second child, Jack, born in 1919.
When the farm closed they went over to the Batchelor Experimental Farm until it finished. Then the Roneys, with their two sons, Terrence, born in the Territory in 1920 went on a holiday travelled south by ship for several months. They returned to live at Humpty Doo and in 1923 their daughter Monica was born at Darwin Hospital. After leaving Humpty Doo, the Roneys moved to Manbulloo and Willeroo Stations then Katherine. Her husband drank heavily and spent the income so Ruby made and sold bread, eggs, milk and meat from her goats and gave some away to other women in a similar situation to herself. Her husband died in Alice Springs, 13 December 1935. Ruby moved to Darwin and worked for the Commercial Bank.
When the war came Ruby, with her daughter Monica, were evacuated to Queensland by the American ship 'President Grant' two days before Christmas 1941. After the war was over they returned to live in Darwin.

RinRuby: Accessing the R Interpreter from Pure Ruby
Get PDFRinRuby is a Ruby library that integrates the R interpreter in Ruby, making R's statistical routines and graphics available within Ruby. The library consists of a single Ruby script that is simple to install and does not require any special compilation or installation of R. Since the library is 100% pure Ruby, it works on a variety of operating systems, Ruby implementations, and versions of R. RinRuby's methods are simple, making for readable code. This paper describes RinRuby usage, provides comprehensive documentation, gives several examples, and discusses RinRuby's implementation. The latest version of RinRuby can be found at the project website: http://rinruby.ddahl.org/.
Attitudes of gemstone distributors to value adding strategies of ruby production
Get PDFOver the centuries, gemstones have at times played a key role in the international trade. To date, they still play a significant role in economies of many countries, especially Thailand. Ruby, the red gemstone, one of the best known gemstones to ordinary people, is the focus of this study. Previous studies have shed the light on examinations of the characteristics and production methods of ruby. However, none has studied the attitudes of gemstone distributors toward several treatment strategies, which aiming to add value to ruby and maximize the return from the limited ruby supplies. The prime purpose of this study is to identify the value adding strategies deemed acceptable to gemstone distributors, by comparing their levels of satisfaction toward each treatment strategy. The findings reveal gemstone distributors accept that other methods in addition to normal cutting and polishing can also add value to rubies. Analyses of sample t-test and one-way repeated measures ANOVA suggest two treatment strategies of ruby production are deemed acceptable to gemstone distributors, and that the satisfaction levels of gemstone distributors toward each of the five treatment strategies are significantly different. Gemstone distributors consider heat treatment strategy as the most satisfactory strategy in adding value to rubies

ruby-rdf/rdf: Release 3.0.2
No full text<p>Improvements to vocabulary generation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Only use english or plain terms, as Ruby serialization does not preserve language.</li>
<li>Use lists for top-level values as well as embedded.</li>
<li>Order embedded property values.</li>
</ul>
<p>In <code>Reader.open</code>, ignore content_type if it is 'text/plain'. This allows us to fall back on <code>file_name</code> and/or sampling.</p>
<p>Update documentation on <code>URI#join</code> and <code>URI#/</code> to clarify how arguments are treated.</p>
SafeWeb: A Middleware for Securing Ruby-Based Web Applications
Get PDFWeb applications in many domains such as healthcare and finance must process sensitive data, while complying with legal policies regarding the release of different classes of data to different parties. Currently, software bugs may lead to irreversible disclosure of confidential data in multi-tier web applications. An open challenge is how developers can guarantee these web applications only ever release sensitive data to authorised users without costly, recurring security audits.
Our solution is to provide a trusted middleware that acts as a “safety net” to event-based enterprise web applications by preventing harmful data disclosure before it happens. We describe the design and implementation of SafeWeb, a Ruby-based middleware that associates data with security labels and transparently tracks their propagation at different granularities across a multi-tier web architecture with storage and complex event processing. For efficiency, maintainability and ease-of-use, SafeWeb exploits the dynamic features of the Ruby programming language to achieve label propagation and data flow enforcement. We evaluate SafeWeb by reporting our experience of implementing a web-based cancer treatment application and deploying it as part of the UK National Health Service (NHS)

<li>Verify that vocabulary terms defined in snake_case are not automatically converted to camelCase.</li>
<li>Remove the ability to set the external encoding when writing N-Triples, as N-Triples requires UTF-8.<blockquote><p><a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/n-triples/#n-triples-mediatype">The content encoding of N-Triples is always UTF-8</a></p>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>"Fix" syntax in vocabulary.rb that Ruby versions < 2.2.5 don't parse properly. Set Travis to test on 2.2.2, not just 2.2, which defaulted to 2.2.7 at the time of this fix.</li>
