Vaclav havel vernissage2/1/2024 Havel’s characters speak an imaginary language or jargon dubbed “ptydepe.” We should remember how Kafka spoke about bureaucratic labyrinths,” Soprova said, referring to 20th century Prague author Franz Kafka, celebrated for forging a magical realist, modernist literary tradition. “Havel drew much of his inspiration from Jarry and Kafka. In “The Garden Party,” Havel focused on what he felt were soul-destroying aspects of totalitarian regimes: their power structures and bureaucracies express themselves in a deformed language which is essentially meaningless. The Na Zabradli theatre was “a pioneer of the theatre of the absurd with Ubu the King by Alfred Jarry, Franz Kafka’s Castle, but also with the first works by Vaclav Havel,” said Soprova. His first great play, “The Garden Party” (1963), was an immediate success. Starting as a stage hand at Prague’s tiny Na Zabradli (On a Ballustrade) theatre, just steps from the picturesque Charles Bridge, Havel became an acclaimed author in the 1960s which saw somewhat of a thaw in the hard line communist regime of then Czechoslovakia. Hailing from a rich family whose assets were confiscated by the communist regime that took power in the former Czechoslovakia in 1948, the young Havel did odd jobs, wrote plays and dreamt of the stage. The theater of the absurd, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s examining the consequences of what its authors believed was a godless universe, questioned established theatrical concepts, foregoing classic plot lines and conventional language. “The role of Vaclav Havel as a founder of a specific stream in the theater of the absurd, reflecting a political background, is crucial,” said Jana Soprova, a theater historian. “The greatest spiritual authority of our young democracy, a great politician and an excellent playwright has died,” Ondrej Cerny, director of Prague’s National Theatre, said in reaction to Havel’s death on Sunday aged 75. Havel’s works expounding his humanist beliefs focus largely on the inhuman and absurd aspects of everyday life he and his fellow countrymen endured under totalitarianism.

The same could have been used by the Internet Explorer team to draw images when the user is running high dpi (ie is very slow drawing zoomed images, because they use GDI+).įirst sorry for ma English, and the code is partly in polish, but it's simple to understand.

But in there end i have a function bit of (Delphi) code that does it. What i've learned on my own since last October is that you really want to draw a "cached" version of your bitmap. GDI+ will perform scaling to get the image to come out the right "size" (i.e. The reason is because of dpi differences between the dpi of bitmap and the dpi of the destination. i had since found out, but guys comment reminded me of my old answer: you want to specify the destination size even though it matches the source size: DrawImage(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.GetWidth, bitmap.GetHeight) (i would hope it doesn't bother going through all 12 million pixels performing no actual work). Like i said, i doubt it will make any difference, because i'm sure that DrawImage checks the Width and Height of the bitmap, and if there's no resizing needed, just calls this overload. I don't think they'll make much of a different, but since you're not actually needing to resize the image, try using the overload of DrawImage that doesn't (attempt) to resize: DrawImage(bitmap,0,0) But now I need to draw Bitmap, and write some algorithm on Bitmap's bits array, how can I get BITMAPINFO if I have an Bitmap object?

Some start with biology and investigate how extant metabolic pathways may have come to fruition, concentrating on bacterial and archaeal life that most closely resembles the last universal common ancestor. The starting points for origins of life research are diverse and researchers do not agree about the best place to begin. This suggests the plausibility of the photoproduction of purine deoxyribonucleotides, such as the photoproduction of simple sugars, proceeds more efficiently in the presence of bisulfite. The photoreduction of thioanhydroadenosine with bisulfite produced 2′-deoxyriboadenosine (dA) on the timescale of days. The photoreduction of thioanhydrouridine with hydrogen sulfide did not succeed even after a long period of irradiation, providing a lower limit on the timescale of several years. The photoanomerization of α-thiocytidine would take months to complete, and the production of oxidation products from hydroxyl radicals would take years. We predict that hypophosphite oxidation, HCN reduction, and photoproduction of nitroprusside would all operate on the surface of early Earth in a matter of days to weeks. We compare the output of StarLab to the light of the faint young Sun to constrain the timescales over which these reactions would occur on the surface of early Earth. We then attempt a series of reactions testing different aspects of a prebiotic chemical scenario involving hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sulfites, and sulfides under the UV light of StarLab, including hypophosphite oxidation by UV light and hydrogen sulfide, photoreduction of HCN with bisulfite, the photoanomerization of α-thiocytidine, the production of a chemical precursor of a potentially prebiotic activating agent (nitroprusside), the photoreduction of thioanhydrouridine and thioanhydroadenosine, and the oxidation of ethanol (EtOH) by photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals. We construct a solar simulator for the UV light of the faint young Sun on the surface of early Earth, called StarLab. Here we experimentally investigate whether the UV flux available on the surface of early Earth, given a favorable atmosphere, can facilitate a variety of prebiotic chemical syntheses. Ultraviolet (UV) light has long been invoked as a source of energy for prebiotic chemical synthesis, but experimental support does not involve sources of UV light that look like the young Sun. Spotting the ingredients for planets in NGC 346 broadens understanding of where planets can exist, says Stefanie Milam, deputy project scientist for JWST planetary science at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. They found enough dust, collecting in signature ways, to indicate planet formation was possible. The researchers used filters on JWST’s camera to find combinations of infrared wavelengths that allowed them to identify stars at various stages of their lives. It wasn’t known whether enough dust could survive for planets to form in NGC 346, because the low-metal conditions make such disks susceptible to fast evaporation by light. The dust released by a star when it’s born can collect into a disk that eventually turns into planets. “With Webb, you can see these stars right at that moment of being born,” says Jones.ĭust, however, is also crucial to detecting planet formation. The best way to see through the dust is by capturing infrared light, something JWST’s predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, wasn’t built to do. The Sun is a low-mass star, so understanding star formation in NGC 346 could also help explain the birth of the Solar System.īut it had been challenging to study the birth of low-mass stars because they emit a lot of dust as they form, which hides their light. The researchers were mainly interested in studying low-mass stars because they are much more common in the Universe than high-mass stars. Furthermore, NGC 346 is much bigger than other star-forming regions nearby, allowing astronomers to see more clearly how stars interact with each other and how they take shape. That makes it resemble the conditions during the ‘cosmic noon’, a period approximately ten billion years ago when stars formed in a flurry in nearly all the galaxies of the Universe. They chose this place because it has a very low concentration of metals - which astronomers define as any element heavier than hydrogen and helium. Researchers looked at NGC 346, a highly active star-forming region in a galaxy near the Milky Way called the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The findings follow a flood of discoveries enabled by JWST, which launched in December 2021 and beamed back its first science images last July. “It’s not been possible to do them before.” “I’ve waited a long time to be able to do these observations,” says Olivia Jones, an astrophysicist at the UK Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh and the lead author of the study. The discovery, reported on April 24 in Nature Astronomy and made using NASA’s hugely powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), suggests that planet formation may be more common throughout the Universe than previously thought. The ingredients for planet formation have turned up in part of a nearby galaxy where it was thought planets might not emerge.

Tuesday, July 18th, 9:00pm "Opening Performance" Printer driver for hp photosmart 75101/31/2024 It's so wasteful to have to throw away printers that can't seem to last beyond a few years without something breaking due to their extremely cheap plastic internals. I absolutely hate how disposable these inkjet printers are. My last HP laser was basically indestructible and I'm hoping that this one will be more durable in the long run as laser printers are more "professional". As I needed a working printer I just decided to purchase an HP AIO laser printer as a replacement. Unfortunately I got very sick and was unable to spend any time to investigate this further. Long term, HP is not the tech firm it used to be and buyers need to move on. I am pledged that next time - too soon, I am sure - I'll will not buy HP and I will buy printer with parts designed to last and made available for vendor or at home repair. Can we shame them into growing up and making sense? I doubt it. It's deliberate and the choice is for the consumer. The proliferation of models by HP which basically are unchanged in function is part of that marketing plan. There does not seem to be consumer panels/survey on longevity but there certainly is evidence that low-price ink jet printers (or lasers) are "given" away (low/no gross margin) to drive ink sales. The issue become one of total cost per printed impression over "life time" of machine, not user. They agreed and hence the deal on a new generation machine which will likely have similar problems soon enough. Even worse, inventory of ink I just bought was now useless. Furthermore, I would have to buy new machine. I complained that a $150-200 purchase was negated by poor quality plastic roller the size of a grape. I spoke with senior tech people at HP and they confirm this printer - and many others - are disposable. World conqueror 3 hacked apk blogspot1/31/2024 Money is an important part of World Conqueror 4.

Define neutrino1/31/2024 Well, for decades that seemed fine there wasn’t any experimental sign that neutrinos have any mass. As far as experiment was able to tell, for several decades after the discovery of the first neutrino in 1956, each of the three neutrinos is a sort of half-neutrino… a Weyl fermion that interacts with the W boson and thus experiences the weak nuclear force (but is unaffected by the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces.) By the logic I just gave you, this Weyl fermion can only have zero mass it has nothing to marry. Massless Neutrinos? Standard Model 1.0īut the logic for neutrinos has a twist. Each one is really made from two half-particles - two Weyl fermions - of which only one half interacts with W bosons, and each of which would have zero mass were it not for the marriage engineered by the Higgs field. The same logic applies for the heavier cousins of the electron (the muon and the tau), as well as for the six types of quarks. But instead this interaction is very weak, and the marriage is a loose one, resulting in an electron whose mass is much smaller than the top quark’s. If the Higgs field’s interaction with the electron’s halves were very strong, then this would be a strong marriage and the newly formed electron would have a very large mass, like the top quark. The resulting electron is a “ Dirac fermion“, with a mass. Along the way, as Weinberg and Salam pointed out, it allows these two discrepant electron-halves to be married into one. So on the face of it, these two half-electrons must remain unmarried, and with zero mass, forever.īut when the Higgs field switches on, it changes the rules, giving the W boson its mass. They have to behave the same way with respect to all the elementary forces of nature. You can’t “marry” two half-particles into one if they behave in fundamentally different ways. Although both halves of the electron have “electric charge” (meaning they are affected by electric and magnetic forces), only one half of the electron interacts with the particle known as the W boson, a crucial component of the weak nuclear force. Without the Higgs field, there is a fundamental obstruction to the electron having any mass at all. Without the marriage arranged by the Higgs field, neither “half” of the electron could have any mass. The two parts of the electron differ only in their interaction with the weak nuclear force, especially though the W field and its boson. These half-electrons are not half-particles, though they are particles in and of their own right, except that a particle like this (called a “ Weyl fermion“) must have zero mass.įigure 2: An electron is a Dirac fermion, formed through the marriage of two Weyl fermions, made possible by the Higgs field. The idea is that particles like the electron are really put together from two particles, not one. It’s a weird, awkward idea, certainly at first glance, so much so that if experiment didn’t confirm it, it would be hard to believe. The story begins with Steven Weinberg in 1967 and Abdus Salam in 1968, who first introduced the basic concept of how the Standard Model’s “fermions” (often referred to, to my dismay, as “matter particles”) get their masses. How the Majority of Standard Model Particles Get Mass each of these requires a minor modification of the Standard Model: in one case a new type of particle, in another case a new phenomenon.today we know of two simple solutions to it, but don’t know which one is right.once upon a time it was thought that the Standard Model solved this puzzle.Also, though some of these particles have separate anti-particles, I haven’t shown them it wouldn’t add anything, since the anti-particle of any particle type has exactly the same mass.Īs you can see, the neutrinos are way down at the bottom, far from everyone else? What’s up with that? The answer isn’t known it’s part of ongoing research.For later use, I’ve divided the particles into two classes: “fermions” and “bosons”. I’ve used a “logarithmic plot”, which compresses the vertical scale if I used a regular “linear” plot, you’d see only the heaviest few masses, with the rest crushed to the bottom.This striking situation is illustrated in Figure 1, in which The horizontal grey bar shows the maximum masses from cosmic measurements the vertical grey bars give an idea of where the masses might lie based on current knowledge, indicating the still very substantial uncertainty. Figure 1: The masses of the known elementary particles, showing how neutrino masses are much smaller and much more uncertain than those of all the other particles with mass.
