![]() Figure 3 shows a graph of intensity for single slit interference, and it is apparent that the maxima on either side of the central maximum are much less intense and not as wide. (destructive), where D is the slit width, λ is the light’s wavelength, θ is the angle relative to the original direction of the light, and m is the order of the minimum. Thus, to obtain destructive interference for a single slit, D sin θ = mλ, for m = 1,−1,2,−2,3. As seen in the figure, the difference in path length for rays from either side of the slit is D sin θ, and we see that a destructive minimum is obtained when this distance is an integral multiple of the wavelength. Finally, in Figure 2d, the angle shown is large enough to produce a second minimum. However, all rays do not interfere constructively for this situation, and so the maximum is not as intense as the central maximum. Most rays from the slit will have another to interfere with constructively, and a maximum in intensity will occur at this angle. Two rays, each from slightly above those two, will also add constructively. One ray travels a distance λ different from the ray from the bottom and arrives in phase, interfering constructively. In fact the central maximum is six times higher than shown here.Īt the larger angle shown in Figure 2c, the path lengths differ by 3λ/2 for rays from the top and bottom of the slit. A graph of single slit diffraction intensity showing the central maximum to be wider and much more intense than those to the sides. There will be another minimum at the same angle to the right of the incident direction of the light.įigure 3. In fact, each ray from the slit will have another to interfere destructively, and a minimum in intensity will occur at this angle. A ray from slightly above the center and one from slightly above the bottom will also cancel one another. Thus a ray from the center travels a distance λ/2 farther than the one on the left, arrives out of phase, and interferes destructively. In Figure 2b, the ray from the bottom travels a distance of one wavelength λ farther than the ray from the top. However, when rays travel at an angle θ relative to the original direction of the beam, each travels a different distance to a common location, and they can arrive in or out of phase. When they travel straight ahead, as in Figure 2a, they remain in phase, and a central maximum is obtained. (Each ray is perpendicular to the wavefront of a wavelet.) Assuming the screen is very far away compared with the size of the slit, rays heading toward a common destination are nearly parallel. These are like rays that start out in phase and head in all directions. According to Huygens’s principle, every part of the wavefront in the slit emits wavelets. Here we consider light coming from different parts of the same slit. The analysis of single slit diffraction is illustrated in Figure 2. In contrast, a diffraction grating produces evenly spaced lines that dim slowly on either side of center. Note that the central maximum is larger than those on either side, and that the intensity decreases rapidly on either side. Figure 1 shows a single slit diffraction pattern. Light passing through a single slit forms a diffraction pattern somewhat different from those formed by double slits or diffraction gratings. (b) The drawing shows the bright central maximum and dimmer and thinner maxima on either side. The central maximum is six times higher than shown. Monochromatic light passing through a single slit has a central maximum and many smaller and dimmer maxima on either side. ![]() ![]() This expression is better than the others when the process leads to a known Fourier transform, and the connection with the Fourier transform is tightened in the linear canonical transformation, discussed below.Figure 1.

![]() He lives well, dresses well, and keeps hours that Dashiell Hammet's "Thin Man," Nick Charles, would approve of. Parker picked it up after almost 40 years and seamlessly slipped his pen into the story.Archy McNally, the hero of Lawrence Sander's latest whodunit McNally's Gamble is a throwback to an earlier, more gracious age. Chandler was about 4 chapters into it when he died. I think that shows that Vincent Lardo is succeeding in keeping Archy McNally and Lawrence Sanders alive in the hearts of their fans.Īnother good example of a series continued by another author after the original author's death is "Perchance to Dream" started by Raymond Chandler as the sequel to "The Big Sleep" and finished by Robert B. ![]() I liked "McNally's Dilemma" so much that I have picked up the latest Sanders/Lardo collaboration "McNally's Folly: An Archy McNally Novel by Vincent Lardo" - in hard copy because I just couldn't wait to read it. Everyone has to change and grow - even Archy McNally. ![]() Vincent Lardo will allow the series to grow and evolve while being faithful to the original stories. I think it is the mark of a brave and talented author who can pick up another's characters and turn them into his own. Maybe if I had known it wasn't written by Lawrence Sanders I might not have enjoyed the story because I knew it wasn't Sanders and I would have felt disloyal somehow. I am not usually so unobservant so I think it illustrates the point that a hard core McNally fan simply couldn't tell the difference. It wasn't until many months after I'd finished "McNally's Dilemma" and then read about Sanders' death that I picked up the book again and noticed Lardo's name on the cover. To that end, I found Vincent Lardo's story much in keeping with Sanders' legacy. Like Julierb, I enjoyed Archy's suave silliness and all the quirky characters in the series' previous books. I snatched it up as past as I could and immediately started reading. When I bought & read "McNally's Dilemma" (the hard copy version) I didn't even know that Lawrence Sanders hadn't written the story. A delectable combination of high society and high jinks, and featuring some of the most eccentric characters ever to populate Florida's Gold Coast, McNally's Dilemma is as witty and charming as Archy McNally himself. Someone's lying, and the one person who knows the truth-Geoff's perky playmate-got away. And when her story doesn't match Melva's, which doesn't match Geoff's, Archy realizes he does indeed have a dilemma on his hands. But Veronica is no damsel in distress, and she's certainly not sorry her stepfather is in the grave. Rumors fly, and some of them may be true. Gallant Archy takes the case-and escorts grown-up and gorgeous Veronica home to the McNally manse. It sounds like an open-and-shut case for McNally & Son's Department of Discreet Inquiries, until Melva asks Archy to shield her daughter, Veronica, from the press and paparazzi. After finding Geoff in a precarious position with an attractive young lady, she pulled the trigger on husband number two. But it's not a search for the killer that brings Archy McNally to the case the lovely Melva Williams readily admits to the crime passionnel.

Consequently, it helps me to establish a knowledge base centered on the content in which I have been involved and have learned, and also, while I am weaving a network of knowledge, it can help me to kindle new inspirations. The notebook has thus deviated from text, increasing the difficulty of looking back, until I discovered that the document reader application can overcome these difficulties. I cannot integrate the note fragments scattered about different books and different pages and look them up. Unfortunately, the void left by books will oftentimes be insufficient for me to make annotations, and I cannot at all completely memorize all of the inspirations and additions. Under the rigorous, pragmatic requirements of physics I naturally will add the key derivational steps or mathematical techniques on the side. I will then record this kind of connection or inspiration beside these trigger points sometimes, a formula will suddenly appear in the text, and what comes before and after it is just some vague derivational reasoning. The writing style and reasoning of it or the logic that is revealed behind it has a great propulsive effect on me as I construct big pictures of our field. Sometimes, one word in a book has great influence on me. Until I started doing academic research, I then came across a large volume of teaching materials and theses. Leaving them on paper, even though they were available to be looked up, I would always be uneasy, suspecting that it is not my own thing. Seeing the lists and flow charts, I could not help but copy them down. Of course, novels rely more so on plots to be dramatic, so there are really not that many notes that I could take, and then afterwards, I started to come into contact with books involving methodologies, such as Super Mnemonics or Graphing Paper Notebook for Intelligent People and the like. In the novel, whenever I would read an inspired writing, I would also copy it down in my notebook, saving it, and then I could transfer and use it at once when writing a composition. Starting with my childhood, when I was reading Harry Potter, copying down the spells in it line by line, I then developed the habit of not writing being equivalent to not having read. ![]() Reading has been my habit for over ten years.

So, to start the major adventure quickly, train diligently and smoothly. In contrast, with the real game mode, you have to start over again. The geometric cube will be returned to the location closest to where it died before, then continue the journey. In this mode, there will be a priority, so it will not take as long as on the main game screen. With the Practice mode enabled in the game, players can freely practice with the terrain. With such game genres, this is relatively uncommon. The unique feature of this game is the opportunity for practice before the actual clash. Everything in this mode moves faster, and the barriers are placed such that only experienced players can complete them. This mode puts you in a challenging mode that calls for extreme alertness, focus, and a high level of screen-clicking proficiency. The second one, which is called Nock Em, is designed for experienced players.The game is challenging, so you must practice to improve and advance through the stages. You should play it until you master the gaming fundamentals. Both normal mode and practice mode are available, and there are three different maps to play. Game modesĪfter deciding on your favorite character, you must select the mode. To get the geometric cube past the obstacles and to the goal of the level, players simply need to manage their pressing and holding in the proper ways. It can be played on a touch screen, with a mouse, or on a keyboard. Geometry Dash Subzero has a very simple gameplay.

Geometry Dash Subzero isn't for the faint of heart, but conquering it offers intense feelings of achievement. With persistence and practice, even the most formidable challenges in this game can be overcome for an immensely satisfying payoff. Players must enter a focused, zen-like state to succeed. Progressing through the levels requires learning from failures and finding optimal paths through the vivid neon obstacles. Geometry Dash Subzero tests players' agility and observation skills, challenging them to develop a smooth, rhythmic movement style that flows in sync with the wonderful musical melodies. Even a blink at the wrong moment could spell the end of your run. With the signature techno beats as a backdrop, concentration is key to flying and finessing your cube through the unfamiliar terrain. This newest release amps up the challenge with devious new obstacles and thrilling, unpredictable gameplay that demands lightning reflexes and keen awareness of the game's electronic soundtrack to maneuver through pulsing environments. The distinction between Geometry Dash Subzero and other games As usual, the cube moves automatically, so players must time jumps and react quickly to navigate the cube safely from start to finish. Subzero transports players to a dazzling neon dimension in this excellent sequel. ![]() ![]() The goal is to guide the auto-running cube from start to finish by timing jumps correctly and finding the safest routes.

I believe it's been out for a while, at least on other platforms, so people may have played it ages ago. There are bosses every 10 levels, which is a nice pace (although the bosses were quite similar for the first 40 levels I felt). Even to the point that you can't just run about and let the companion do all the work, because if they get hit, they detach from you and you have to collect them in order for them to keep shooting. There are companions of sorts, that helps by shooting when in range of enemies. There are EMP's that you can buy, that destroy everything on screen. Then you get into the interesting powerups. Upgrades ranging from speed upgrades, to power, to bouncing bullets. It's not too complex, an upgrade-able laser gun being the primary attack. In essence, it's a retro style arcade shooter.

Proponents urge that paid leave would provide employees with greater financial security when they must take an extended leave for medical reasons or to care for an ailing family member or new child. On the paid leave front, there have been a number of attempts to build upon the FMLA and enact national paid leave policy however, they have largely stalled in a politically polarized Congress. ![]() 5 Since 1993, 11 states and the District of Columbia have expanded unpaid leave benefits past FMLA standards by either increasing the amount of leave time offered or expanding the definition of an eligible family member. However, only 60% of the workforce is eligible for FMLA protections 4 because small employers are exempt and even in covered worksites, not all employees are eligible. The law has provided job security to millions of workers who find themselves needing to take time off to care for a critically ill family member or a new child in the family. The law applies to private employers with 50 or more employees, and public agencies. The most recent national policy reform occurred in 1993, when the federal government passed the FMLA giving eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for seriously ill family members, the arrival of a child, and job protection when an employee returns from family or medical leave. Policies that address the balance of work and economic security with health and family needs have stalled at the federal level. Federal, State, and Local Policies on Family Leave and Sick Days FMLA and Unpaid Family Leave This data note summarizes state and local policies on paid family leave and sick days and presents new data from the 2016 Kaiser/HRET Employer Health Benefits Survey on the share of firms that offer paid parental leave and paid sick days benefits. 3 The issue of paid leave received some attention during the 2016 election, but the incoming administration has not yet signaled any plans. 2 Approximately seven in ten women with children under age 18 were in the labor market in 2015. This is particularly salient for women, who are often the primary caretakers for children and also comprise nearly half of the nation’s workers. Employees not covered by these local laws must rely on voluntary employer policies, which can vary considerably. 1 In recent years, there have been a number of local and state initiatives to expand access to paid family leave and sick days in the U.S. does not have national standards on paid family or sick leave. However, unlike most other developed nations, the U.S. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) passed under the Clinton administration requires eligible employers to provide unpaid family leave. Yet there is no federal requirement for paid leave or sick days, which leaves many individuals, particularly low-income workers, to face tradeoffs such as taking time off while forgoing wages, going to work while sick, or paying for caretakers for their children and family members. ![]() So called “fringe benefits” such as paid family leave and sick days can help employees meet their personal and family health care needs, while also fulfilling work responsibilities. Workplace benefits are an important part of balancing work, family, and medical needs. |
