How an Hill equation looks like?
What is the behaviour of an alpha function?
well, I have scipy installed, I know the equation, I know how to create an array of points… Let’s crunch some numbers!
Hill’s equation:
n variation
K variation:
Alpha function:
If you interested in this and other amenities check the code in the scipy_ex folder on github.
The Hill equation is in the mathematical functions script..
So if you want to import a bazaar branch into git how do you do that?
Following this amazing tutorial which works in a very cool and smooth way
Check it out!
It was really handy 🙂
I’m writing a report and I had to cite an article from a book. It’s one of this book which every article can also be used as a standalone paper. The problem is that if you use an article record, you will miss the book and if you use the book record, you will miss the article.
How to solve it? Google it! (somebody has already solved it and post it somewhere)
And it is. The solution is to use @incollection:
@InCollection{Doe05,
author = {John Doe},
title = {Dynamic Ambient Paradigms},
booktitle = {Paradigm Gems 2},
pages = {223--233},
publisher = {Addison Wesley},
year = 2005,
editor = {Averell Doe}
}
More BiBTeX tips (where I found this solution) on this page.
If you use LaTeX and sometimes want to override the TeX macro to get your figure right there you can do it.
You can use the exclamation point !
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.50]{image.png}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
However the results is not really nice as when Tex take care to do the layout. So the win-win solution would be to have Tex taking care of the layout, but force it to put all the figure that belong to a section within that section.
Well that’s pretty easy and the command
\clearpage{}
Just does the trick.
If instead you refer to a figure but instead of the number of the figure you can read the number of the section, this is because you have misplaced the caption with the label.
The label has to go after the caption, otherwise it will refer to the section not to the figure.
Right way:
\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.50]{image.png}
\caption{A wonderful image!}
\label{fig: image}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
Note the relax [htb]. LaTeX will take care of the position for you.
An amazing interesting post about crisis and society collapse from Ugo Bardi on the oildrum.
According to the author the complexity of a society is both a cost and a benefit, but after a certain point is only a cost which will bring the society down.
The “homeostasis” is the process which the complex society use to compensate forces which destabilize the society. This analysis is applied to the Roman Empire, but analogy with our societies are also drawn.
The crisis is very close and we are swimming in it, but we are not able to see the water.
I just discovered that in using pylab you can plot an array or list of number vs the list lenght by default.
Let’s say we have a list of point like [2,2,3,4,5,5,6,10, 23,45,58,42,12]
points = [2,2,3,4,5,5,6,10,23,45,58,42,12]
well to plot this you just have to
pylab.plot(points)
and this is the results:
pylab example
The whole script in python
import pylab
points = [2,2,3,4,5,5,6,10,23,45,58,42,12]
pylab.plot(points)
pylab.show()
The last one is needed to show the window, which will happen automatically if you are running the script using ipython with the pylab option.
I just discovered by chance. I always thought that to plot you need x and y, but of course it’s possible to infer the x if you just one to plot only the points, cause each point in the list has a “Cartesian coordinates” embedded, i.e. [0,2];[1,2];[2,3];[3,4];… etc.
It seems that I’m not the only one dealing with neurons in the GNOME Community. Well I mean, I never thought I was the only one, but I also didn’t expect to find a blog post on the gnome planet about the first publication.
Let me just say well done 🙂
Marino ha presentato la mozione con la quale si presenterà al congresso il 25 ottobre:
è bellissima.
Punti salienti (ovviamente solo un paio):
il merito ed il principio di responsabilità come leva per risollevare la società. Merito utilizzato come unico criterio per scegliere chiunque in qualunque settore.
No alle ronde, ma rafforzamento delle figure istituzionali (polizia, carabinieri). Efficienza della macchina della giustizia e rispetto delle regole per tutti.
Solare a concentrazione solare (CSP), Eolico di alta quota (KiteGen system), Geotermia di terza generazione. Chi frequenta questo blog sà già di cosa si parla. Chi non lo frequenta segua i link che lo portano su wikipedia. Riferimento anche al progetto DESERTEC con una chiara strigliata al non decisionismo europeo, il quale pagheremo in futuro. Il tempo di agire è ora, il levello è europeo. (Io personalmente lo sostengo da un pò.)
La scuola come momento formativo necessario e determinante della società italiana.
Questi sono solo alcuni, fantastici i passaggi sul sistema sanitario nazionale, il congendo per maternità esteso alla coppia e non solo alla madre e cose del genere. Confermo che vale la pena vedere tutto l’intervento.
Qui sotto i 5 pezzi.

Un’altro incidente in Francia (la mitica Francia nuclearista) a Tricastin, segnalato quì.
Non è il primo e non sarà l’ultimo, purtroppo.
Ultimamente la qualità dei miei titoli sta scadendo. Mi scuso con i miei 4 (cit.) lettori. Non che stanno scadendo ultimamente, non sono mai stati un granchè, ma oggi finalmente ho avuto un epiphany, (a sudden revelation of reality nella più joyciana delle forme) ed ho realizzato. Ma in fondo non è di questo che volevo parlarvi.
Volevo parlarvi della candidatura di Marino e perchè ha senso.
Riporto l’ultima parte del post dal blog dei Mille
Venghino donne, venghino.. Tutte le tessere 15 € [a meno di strani episodi…] e cambiamo il PD e facciamo la rivoluzione. Ah, e se non lo hai capito, l’esperto alla tavola magari puoi essere tu.
Intanto se hai qualche idea, perchè non la butti qui:

(ovviamente tutto molto non ufficiale e tutto molto… fanga, per dirla alla fondazionedaje way :))
