![]() (BTW using a hard drive was much faster than using the networked transport, plus gave his an extra backup image copy “just in case”.) Then he ejected the hard drive and removed the USB cable. On his PC, he downloaded the Parallels Transporter Agent for Windows (free), hooked an external hard drive to his PC, and used Transporter Agent to copy his entire Windows hard disk to an image on the external hard drive. when you buy a PC from them) to a second PC without buying a new license he also bought a fresh, legit, “full” Windows XP Pro with activation key, so he could use that “full” key to activate his migrated copy of Windows. So he also bought Parallels ($80) and Parallels Transporter ($10) for his Mac.Īnd since he was pretty sure it violates the Microsoft terms to “move” an OEM copy of Windows (such as supplied by Dell, Toshiba, etc. And he didn’t want to have to re-install several dozen applications, not to mention hundreds of PC settings, on a fresh install of Windows XP. ![]() He bought a new Macbook Pro, and since he had a considerable investment in Windows versions of applications like Adobe CS2, he did not want to have to buy new versions (Adobe doesn’t offer upgrades from CS2 to the current CS). I should stress that as he and I understand the license rules, he was required to buy a second, new, “full” (non-OEM) version of XP, which he did. Summary: After spending 4+ hours on phone ‘support’ with Microsoft (I know because I tried to help him communicate the problem to no avail), a friend recently discovered the trick to moving his laptop Windows XP Pro (an OEM version provided by the laptop maker) over to a Parallels virtual machine - WITH all applications, settings, data intact. ![]() 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50) DAXM enables 3D OM by using a focused polychromatic x-ray beam, scanning a platinum wire near a surface, and detecting multiple Laue diffraction spots per grain. In the past two decades, non-destructive 3D OM methods without serial sectioning have been proposed using third-generation synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction and imaging techniques such as diffraction contrast tomography (DCT), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) 3D x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21) high-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM), 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34) scanning 3DXRD, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42) and differential-aperture x-ray diffraction microscopy (DAXM). Therefore, nondestructive measurement techniques are desired. However, we cannot track changes in orientation due to the deformation or damage processes because the samples are destroyed and continuous measurement is not possible. 1, 2) In EBSD-OM, three-dimensional (3D) orientation maps necessary for materials modeling can be produced with serial sectioning of samples. Today, orientation microscopy (OM) with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is widely used to investigate the mechanical responses of engineering materials with a numerous number of grains with different orientation. Since large strains that affect reliability is mostly plastic strains, and a change in crystallographic orientation mostly corresponds to the plastic strains, it is useful to measure orientation and determine crystallographic rotation for reliability evaluation. One of the important parameters in characterization of mechanical properties are strains. Experimentally measured mechanical properties would be useful in the development of the multiscale modeling, a key for advanced materials engineering that allows us to quantitatively predict the reliability of materials and components. In order to understand the properties that governs the materials reliability such as plastic deformation, creep, fatigue, and fracture, multiscale materials modeling is necessary because the mechanical properties are governed by the dynamics of the constituent materials and the materials possess hierarchical microstructures. In the case of steel, clarification of its mechanical response is expected to help reduce the weight of automobiles as a structural material and to lead to higher properties of motors as a functional material. ![]() This will also enable weight reduction through optimal design, leading to a reduction in environmental impact. ![]() Understanding of the mechanical response of the bulk materials under loading is necessary to improve the safety of components and structures. Metals and alloys are one of the most important materials for transportation industries and infrastructures in modern society. Nondestructive strain measurement techniques as shown here are considered important for the advancement of evaluation methods for deformation and deterioration of mechanical components. The magnitude of crystallographic orientation change due to tensile loading is considered to depend on local constraints such as the orientation, grain size, 3-dimensional position, and shape of adjacent grains. It was found that even when grains exhibited similar orientations before plastic deformation, it was not the case after plastic deformation. This technique enabled the nondestructive measurement of crystallographic orientation change in 80 grains before and after plastic deformation. The development of a special in-situ loading device that can be used in the limited space of 3DXRD setup has realized measurement of deformation behavior of steel during the tensile loading process. High-energy synchrotron radiation x-ray enables internal measurements, and the diffraction method using scanning microbeam and conical slits enables measurement of three-dimensional distributions. We propose scanning three-dimensional x-ray diffraction microscopy, 3DXRD, in combination with the in-situ measurement tensile tester. However, since strain distribution varies under constrained conditions, nondestructive measurement inside the material is necessary to determine the actual mechanical response of the material. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method can measure strains only on the sample surface. Large strains that affect reliability can often be measured as changes in the crystallographic orientation. One of the key parameters in mechanical characterization is strain. Understanding of deformation and degradation of bulk metals under loading is necessary to improve the safety and environmental performance of mechanical components such as automobile parts. ![]() The Code also states that for varieties where the milk fat content has been modified to be lower than that found in the standard designation provided below, the descriptors “reduced fat” and “half fat” along with the cream designation can be utilised for labelling purposes.The Code specifies that in calculating the percentage of milk fat in cream, any ingredient added to the cream shall be disregarded.No product described in this Code shall have a fat content below 10%.

Grouping allowed in ‘use’ statement for Aliasing Namespacesīefore PHP 7.0, each class, function, and constant imported from the same namespace had to be specified with a separate use statement. If you run the script, a UTF-8 string ĤĒĻĻŌ will be printed out. Copy the following listing to the script: To experiment with the Unicode codepoint escape syntax, create a script unicode.php. For example, Ē is represented with U+0112 in Unicode, where the leading 0 may be omitted. PHP 7.0 has added support for Unicode codepoint escape syntax, which takes an hexadecimal form and returns the corresponding UTF-8 encoded form. Unicode codepoint Conversion from Hexadecimal Form to UTF-8 If you run the script, you will get the following comparison results: 0 To demonstrate this, create a script compare.php to compare integer, floating-point and string values: 1 PHP’s type comparison rules are used for performing the comparison. If you instead run the script supplying a request parameter, say name=JohnSmith, all examples will output the request parameter received in $_GET: Hello JohnSmithĪ new comparison operator () has been added to PHP 7.0 which returns -1 if the first expression is less than the second, 0 if the two expressions are the same, and 1 if the first expression is greater than the second. ![]() If you run the script with no request parameter, all examples will output the last value specified: Hello Deepak Now, create a script ternary.php including all of the following examples: " Null coalescing operators may be chained to return the first defined value: $name = $_GET ? $_POST ? 'Deepak' The preceding example could be rewritten as follows using ?: $name = $_GET ? 'Deepak' Indeed, it will return its first operand if it exists and its value is not NULL, and return the second operand otherwise. The null coalescing operator ( ?), which has been added to PHP 7.0, can be used to streamline this kind of operations. Here, isset returns true if the GET request parameter name is set, in which case variable its value is assigned to variable $name, otherwise $name is set to a constant string value: $name = isset($_GET) ? $_GET : 'Deepak' Įcho "Hello ". Typically you will use the PHP ternary operator with isset as shown in the following example. The isset function can be used to find out if a variable is set and not NULL. In this final article on the series on new features in PHP 7.x, we shall discuss improvements to arrays, operators, constants, and exception handling. In this series of articles, we discuss new features across the various PHP 7.x versions. PHP 7.x brings several improvements and new features that touch all aspects of the language, including better support for object oriented programming, extensions to classes and interfaces, improvements to the type system, error handling, and more.

PHP 7.0 adds the null coalescing operator (?) to return the first operand if it exists and its value is not NULL, and returns the second operand otherwise. ![]() ![]() Inventory software also provides the opportunity to keep track of the quality of any stock you receive from suppliers. A business mitigates this by ensuring a streamlined inventory organisation process where stock rotates throughout a storage or distribution centre. ![]() The longer a business has inventory in its possession, the more likely it is that an item becomes damaged. The more a business can track and manage different elements of its inventory, the higher the degree of quality control it can attain. Proper inventory organisation provides a good degree of quality control over a business's stock. Related: What are organisational skills? (Types and examples) Provides quality control Control of inventory also reduces the potential of having too much stock (overstock) or items that don't sell (deadstock), both of which may be costly for a business. A buffer reduces the risk of an item being out of stock, particularly if it sees a spike in popularity. Inventory organisation is vital for the proper functioning of a business, guaranteeing enough units to fulfil customer orders with a safety stock buffer. This element of management is important for helping a business understand the stock it has available, the orders it can fulfil and the speed at which it can access its stock. Having an organised stock room allows a business to make more informed decisions around their stock and identify growth opportunities. Below we explore some of the other reasons that inventory management and control are important: Encourages organisationĪ high level of inventory management demonstrates a wide range of organisational control within a business. While smaller businesses may manage their inventory manually, many larger businesses use automated inventory management software to reduce the chance of mistakes. It's important that a business can fulfil orders without compromising the customer experience. The primary goal of inventory management is to maximise the revenue of a business while keeping the smallest amount of inventory possible within the supply chain.

It's important to have a balance of stock in the business, as too little means you cannot fulfil orders, while too much can be costly to store. Managing inventory levels is a key element of this process, as it ensures a business has the optimal amount of each piece of inventory at any one time. This ensures the smooth running of the supply chain and prompt completion of customer orders, which is vital for any retailer. A business can use software to help manage the storage and movement of items and monitor which stage of the distribution process each piece of inventory is at. It involves the management of inventory over its lifetime, from available stock to purchase or disposal. Inventory control is the management of a company's stock within a wider supply chain.
