\u27Along the Coast in 4x5\u27

I drove up and down the central coast taking pictures of some of my favorite spots from Pismo Beach to Big Sur. Using the large format camera was an experience I’ll never forget

Budget Quadcopter Kit

Over the past few years quadcopters, also known as drones, have really started to take off in a recreational market. The technology has come a long way over the past decade and as with most technology, as it has matured it has become cheaper and more accessible to everyday people. So much so that anyone can go online and purchase a small quadcopter for under $20. They are relatively easy to fly and can even be flown indoors due to how safe they are as well. However, buying a quadcopter online doesn\u27t really allow the consumer to develop a true understanding of how quadcopters are build and how they function. It is possible to purchase a kit online in order to build a quadcopter and develop that better understanding but these kits can be more expensive than the average consumer would like to spend. It is also possible to build a quadcopter from different parts purchased online but this can also get expensive as well as incredibly confusing. The goal of this project was to solve those issues, and make the quadcopter building experience both simple and affordable for a consumer who may want to learn more about quadcopters and have a quadcopter of their own

An Understanding of Spreadsheets

The development of randomized algorithms has studied superblocks, and current trends suggest that the exploration of semaphores will soon emerge. In fact, few developers would disagree with the appropriate unification of Smalltalk and RAID, demonstrates the compelling importance of machine learning [16]. Our focus in our research is not on whether semaphores and XML are never incompatible, but rather on proposing an application for stable models (SOD)

The causal effect of a timeout at stopping an opposing run in the NBA

In the summer of 2017, the National Basketball Association reduced the number of total timeouts, along with other rule changes, to regulate the flow of the game. With these rule changes, it becomes increasingly important for coaches to effectively manage their timeouts. Understanding the utility of a timeout under various game scenarios, e.g., during an opposing team's run, is of the utmost importance. There are two schools of thought when the opposition is on a run: (1) call a timeout and allow your team to rest and regroup, or (2) save a timeout and hope your team can make corrections during play. This paper investigates the credence of these tenets using the Rubin causal model framework to quantify the causal effect of a timeout in the presence of an opposing team's run. Too often overlooked, we carefully consider the stable unit-treatment-value assumption (SUTVA) in this context and use SUTVA to motivate our definition of units. To measure the effect of a timeout, we introduce a novel, interpretable outcome based on the score difference to describe broad changes in the scoring dynamics. This outcome is well-suited for situations where the quantity of interest fluctuates frequently, a commonality in many sports analytics applications. We conclude from our analysis that while comebacks frequently occur after a run, it is slightly disadvantageous to call a timeout during a run by the opposing team and further demonstrate that the magnitude of this effect varies by franchise

Air Temperature and Diet are Not Associated with Oxygen Consumption Rate in Banded Crickets, Gryllodes sigillatus

All living organisms acclimate to their environments, with ectothermic species particularly susceptible to environmental change, specifically temperature. Ectothermic insects like crickets directly alter their physiological processes depending on the environment in which they live. Temperature is vital in regulating processes such as metabolism, respiration, and reproduction, among other things. What remains unclear is how a change in the environment, specifically extreme temperature change and dietary alterations, affects physiological processes. In this study, we performed experiments on ectothermic banded crickets to examine the effects of temperature change and the interaction of temperature and diet on oxygen consumption. For both experiments, we found no effect of temperature change or diet on oxygen consumption, and we were unable to correlate diet or temperature to oxygen consumption rate. We recommend more research to fully understand how temperature change and diet affect oxygen consumption rate

Outcomes of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy with ceftriaxone for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections—a single-center observational study

Background: Methods: Adult patients with methicillin-susceptible Results: Of 243 patients included, 148 (61%) were discharged on ceftriaxone and 95 (39%) were discharged on either oxacillin or cefazolin. The ceftriaxone group had lower rates of intensive care unit care, endocarditis, and shorter duration of bacteremia, but higher rates of cancer diagnoses. There was no significant difference in the composite adverse outcome in the oxacillin or cefazolin group vs the ceftriaxone group (18 [19%] vs 31 [21%]; Conclusions: For patients with MSSA BSI discharged on OPAT, within the limitations of the small numbers and retrospective design we did not find a significant difference in outcomes for ceftriaxone therapy when compared with oxacillin or cefazolin therapy
