Consequentially, you will be able to render certain file formats with the exact type of multimedia player you choose. One of the most appreciated features of the Win7codecs is the fact that it does not make any file associations. Moreover, you are able to use the suggested settings of the developer by clicking the check box located in the lower middle section of the window. If you have made a mistake regarding a certain setting, you can easily revert to the default changes via the “Reset All” button in the lower left part of the screen. The central section of the window provides access to the actual setting options for the bundle and the individual file types in terms of the codec or codecs that should be employed for rendering. The help menu button ends the sequence of tabs. In the upper part of the settings window, you will notice the configuration and misc tabs, located next to the individual settings for particular file types. In fact, this is actually a relief for most users who have had negative experiences with other codec packages in the past, due to the extremely complicated interfaces, with tons of strange settings. The interface of theWin7codecs bundle is clean and intuitive. Moreover, besides the large variety of formats it is able to decode proficiently, versatility of the codec bundle resides in the fact that it is able to exert its job equally well with all other players. Moreover, you will be glad to know that installing the Win7codecs bundle will not hinder the default Windows media player, nor will it attempt to modify its current settings in any way. At this point it is worth noting that this codec bundle comes in 18 different languages, in order to account for the individual needs of users worldwide. ![]() This is a means of ensuring that no incompatibilities will cause the multimedia player to crash or function improperly. Once you download the kit, the Win7codecs will first remove any other codec found on your operating system. But let us explore its uses and possibilities even further.įor a codec bundle of this magnitude, the actual size of the Win7codecs bundle is relatively low: 23 MB. ![]() All in all, this free codec package is quite versatile. The number of multimedia file formats that you will be able to render is only limited by the actual player. Although small, the Win7codecs package contains an extensive list that will enable you to make the most of your player. For those who employ media players that rely on codecs in order to render multimedia files, the Win7codecs bundle (Windows 7 Codecs) is an absolute must-have.

![]() Previous studies have shown evidence of tree physiological responses to the environment of individual cities, but it is not clear whether the same species responds similarly across different urban areas. However, variation in urban forest patch soil quality may lead to differences in native tree growth and physiology within an urban area, making it important to capture forest patch heterogeneity within a city ( Pregitzer et al. 2012), and the soils of urban forest patches may actually have greater nutrient availability than reference forest sites ( Pouyat et al. However, warmer nighttime air temperatures at urban sites may allow for higher rates of photosynthesis without causing additional drought stress ( George et al. ![]() 2015), despite some research to the contrary ( Zhao et al. There is an assumption that the urban environment (i.e., increased air temperatures and pollution) is inherently stressful to plants ( Calfapietra et al. ![]() ![]() Furthermore, native wildtype trees found in forest patches may exhibit different physiological function than planted tree cultivars found in highly managed settings ( Lahr et al. Although we know that the urban environment can reduce the productivity of trees planted in highly developed areas ( O'Rourke and Terjung 1981, Sjöman and Nielsen 2010, Dale and Frank 2014, 2017), it is not clear that trees in urban forest patches experience the same stressful environmental impacts. However, the provisioning of these ecosystem services depends on the health and physiological function of trees in urban forest patches, which may be impacted by the surrounding urban land use ( Cadenasso et al. 2019), and may have a higher capacity to provide critical biophysical ecosystem services than more intensively managed park areas ( Vieira et al. Urban woodlands, or forest patches, make up a significant proportion of many cities’ tree canopy cover (e.g., Avins 2013, Pregitzer et al. In the eastern USA, trees are dominant components of urban ecosystems, providing valuable biophysical and sociocultural ecosystem services to urban residents. The ability of plants to persist in urban landscapes will determine their capacity to mitigate aspects of the urban environment that are stressful for human inhabitants, including increased air temperature, flooding and pollution ( Volder 2010, Calfapietra et al. Data on local site characteristics and tree species performance over time remain necessary to gain insight about urban woodland ecosystem function. These results demonstrate that differences in native tree physiology occur between urban and reference forest patches, but they are site- and species-specific. Stomatal pore index (SPI) showed inter-specific differences, with red maple SPI being higher in urban trees, whereas white oak SPI was lower in urban trees. However, the highest average values of T crit were found in the Baltimore urban white oaks, suggesting that species suitability and response to the urban environment varies across a latitudinal gradient. Across all sites, red maples had higher thermal tolerance of photosynthesis ( T crit) than white oaks, suggesting a greater ability to withstand temperature stress from the urban heat island effect and climate change. The exceptions were δ 13C and δ 15N, which did not vary in white oak foliage but were significantly depleted (δ 13C) and enriched (δ 15N) in urban red maple foliage. Overall, white oaks ( Quercus alba L.) show more differences in chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and leaf traits by city and site type (urban vs reference) than red maples ( Acer rubrum L.). In this study, we examine chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, leaf traits, foliar nutrients and stable isotope signatures of urban forest patch trees compared with trees growing at reference forest sites, in order to characterize physiological response of these native tree species to the urban environment of three major cities arranged along a latitudinal gradient (New York, NY Philadelphia, PA Baltimore, MD). Although we know that the urban environment may be stressful for trees planted in highly developed areas, it is not clear that trees in urban forest patches experience the same stressful environmental impacts. The provisioning of critical ecosystem services to cities of the eastern USA depends on the health and physiological function of trees in urban areas. ![]() ![]() But is that enough to sway loyal Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro, or Media Composer editors to switch? There’s certainly interest, as Stephen Mirrione pointed out in my recent Suburbicon interview, so I wouldn’t be surprised to hear news of a TV show or small feature film being edited with Resolve in the coming year.Ĭreating a single application that’s good at many different tasks can be daunting and more often than not has been unsuccessful. Regardless of the version, Resolve is a very deep application that’s been battle-tested through years of high-pressure, enterprise-grade deployment. The primary limitations are that exports are capped at UltraHD (3840×2160), and that features such as stereo3D, lens distortion correction, noise reduction, and collaboration require Resolve Studio. Resolve offers the majority of the same features as Resolve Studio. These versions are basically the same as those on Blackmagic Design’s website, but with some differences, due to the requirement that App Store software be sandboxed. Mac users also have the option to download Resolve (free) or purchase Resolve Studio through the Apple Mac App Store. It’s the only NLE to support three operating systems: macOS, Windows, and Linux. (*This review was originally written right after the release of Resolve 14 in late 2017.)ĭaVinci Resolve 14 comes in two flavors, DaVinci Resolve 14 (free) and DaVinci Resolve Studio ($299). Right at the start, let me paraphrase the judges on History Channel’s Forged in Fire series – ‘This NLE can cut!’ If you have no prior allegiances to other editing platforms, then using Resolve as your NLE of choice is a no-brainer. I’ve reviewed Resolve in the past as a grading application, but my focus here is editing. Advanced editing functions and the inclusion of the Fairlight audio engine put Resolve on track to be the industry’s latest all-in-one post-production powerhouse. With the introduction of Resolve 14*, it’s clear that Blackmagic Design has set its sights higher. DaVinci Resolve has made its mark as one of the premier color correction applications for the film and video industries. /r/StopGaming - Subreddit dedicated to help those who struggle with or have struggled with compulsive gaming or video game addiction.If you think that you need assistance please consider the following resources.

![]() These parameters are extremely important. The option labelled CPU temperature is reported from software and isn't quite accurate. This is the accurate temperature reported directly from the CPU die. Be sure to use the CPU1 temperature-monitoring option. Thermal throttling is what we are looking for here. However, processor clock speeds aren't as temperature-dependent as that of GPUs. The same reasons apply to CPU temperatures as well. The Temperature Limit parameter is also a great means to know if your GPU performance is hit hard on account of thermal throttling.Īlso read: What is VSync, and Should I Turn It On or Off? CPU Temperature Case in point: both Pascal and Turing Nvidia GPUs provide loads of extra boost clock speeds with every five-degree drop in temperature. Getting the most out of your GPU is no longer restricted to prevent thermal throttling, but to ensure that the GPU runs as cool as possible. Modern GPUs tend to take manual overclocking control away from users and instead base it on thermal headroom. Monitoring the Fan Speed to verify proper operation along with using aggressive fan profiles should also help. An overheating GPU is a sign that remedial measures such as GPU heatsink cleaning and thermal paste reapplication is required. Keeping an eye on GPU temperature relative to the ambient temperature gives a good idea of the overall health of the cooling system of your graphics card. The following lays out the parameters you should take note of. That involves keeping an eye on numerous statistics involving thermal, utilization, power, voltage, and clock speeds for the CPU, GPU, and memory subsystems. RTSS comes with a long list of features and capabilities, but we are primarily interested in the capability to monitor hardware parameters to improve the gaming experience. There's a lot here, so have a play around and do some customizing! Using RTSS to Monitor Hardware Performance Other games, meanwhile, will require the "Custom Direct3D support" option to be enabled. A good option for games, for example, is to enable Stealth mode, which will prevent it from interfering with anti-cheat software in online games. With Hades selected, I can now change the different RTSS settings specific to that game. I, for example, added the game Hades here. One of the more interesting features here is that if you click Add at the bottom-left corner, you can add RTSS profiles for specific programs and apps. The tab contains a list of hardware parameters relevant to the CPU and GPU. Navigate to the Monitoring tab in the Settings window. Alternatively, you can leave everything unchanged at the default settings and head straight to configuring RTSS by clicking on the Settings button represented by the gear icon.Ĥ.

The real kicker is that according to the Cochrane systematic review, misoprostol is no more effective than the FDA approved medication, PGE2 (a.k.a dinoprostone, trade names Cervidil and Prepidil). It's anybody's guess what dosage is really delivered. Getting a 25 mcg dose means cutting an unscored tablet in quarters. In any case, misoprostol is formulated in 100 mcg tablets for use as an oral ulcer medication. What about the minority? Not to mention that obstetricians may ignore recommended dosages, and even the guidelines say 'Misoprostol in higher doses (50 mcg every 6 hours) may be appropriate in some situations' (p. 387).įACT: The 'majority' of adverse outcomes is hardly reassuring. Lobbied by ACOG, the FDA rescinded the black box designation on the grounds that obstetricians were using it to induce labor, a rationale that amounts to 'but all the kids are doing it.'ĪCOG STATEMENT: 'The majority of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes associated with misoprostol therapy resulted from the use of doses greater than 25 mcg' (p. The real victims in this scenario are pregnant women who receive treatment in hospitals that will not allow the use of misoprostol' (Hale 2001, p. What actually happened was this: ACOG held that 'misoprostol is one of the most important medications in obstetrical practice. Grand multiparity also appears to be a risk factor for uterine rupture. The risk of uterine rupture increases with advancing gestational ages and with prior uterine surgery, including Cesarean delivery. There may be an increased risk of uterine tachysystole, uterine rupture, meconium passage, meconium staining of amniotic fluid, and Cesarean delivery due to uterine hyperstimulation with the use of higher doses of Cytotec including the manufactured 100 mcg tablet. Pelvic pain, retained placenta, severe genital bleeding, shock, fetal bradycardia, and fetal and maternal death have been reported. Here is an excerpt from the FDA's 2002 statement(PDF):Ī major adverse effect of the obstetrical use of Cytotec is hyperstimulation of the uterus which may progress to uterine tetany with marked impairment of uteroplacental blood flow, uterine rupture (requiring surgical repair, hysterectomy, and/or salpingo-oophorectomy ), or amniotic fluid embolism. ![]() The FDA removed the 'black box' designation prohibiting use in pregnant women, but it takes a much dimmer view of 'miso' than merely not claiming it is safe. 387).įACT: A reader can be forgiven for assuming from this convoluted phrasing that the FDA now approves of using misoprostol to induce labor. This labeling does not contain claims regarding the efficacy or safety of misoprostol' (p. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention of peptic ulcers, the FDA in 2002 approved a new label on the use of misoprostol during pregnancy for cervical ripening and for the induction of labor. In some cases, of course, the fetus doesn't survive to experience long-term consequences.ĪCOG STATEMENT: 'Although misoprostol currently is approved by the U.S. 387).įACT: Well, that's the catch, isn't it? The long-term adverse health consequences to the fetus occur in the presence of fetal distress subsequent to uterine rupture - including in unscarred uteruses and with moderate doses of misoprostol - and amniotic fluid embolism. has any long-term adverse health consequences to the fetus in the absence of fetal distress. 387).įACT: None of the studies have been big enough either alone or in the aggregate to detect differences in rare, catastrophic events, a point acknowledged by a Cochrane systematic review, and it is those rare, catastrophic events that are the issue with 'miso.' And while more disasters will occur with higher doses and in women with prior cesareans, there is no 'appropriate' use of misoprostol in terms of safety.ĪCOG STATEMENT: 'No studies indicate that intrapartum exposure. a large body of published reports supporting (misoprostol's) safety and efficacy when used appropriately' (p. Still, others are also commenting, so I will focus on debunking ACOG's portrayal of misoprostol.ĪCOG STATEMENT: 'There is.

I don’t have anything against squirrels personally, but I’m here to feed birds at my bird feeders, not squirrels. The squirrels still try to get some seed without much success but mostly just hang around the ground below the feeder getting the scraps that the birds are leaving. The squirrels totally destroyed it to get to the seed and the birds were lucky to just get some scraps.Īnyway, I bought a Squirrel Buster Standard (on the list below) and I am seeing many more birds at the feeder now and less squirrels. I put up a new bird feeding station on the side of my house recently and at first was just using an old non squirrel proof feeder.

![]() The breed was not standardized until the early 1800s, and before the time that Beagles were named and bred according to the kind of game they hunted. Beagle: An Overviewīeagles have been around for a long time and were utilized during the middle ages to assist in hunting different kinds of game. It’s hard to tell whether they’ll get the characteristics of their Beagle or Boxer parent, so be ready for a medium-sized dog or a very large dog. Most often, they follow the Boxer however, they can nevertheless be smaller. They can be medium-sized or large, depending on the parent breed they take from. The Boxer is actually more susceptible to health problems than other dogs.īogles are considered to be very affectionate, friendly, and gentle. The combination of the Beagle and Boxer is likely to have a few health issues due to being designer breeds however, Boxers are more susceptible to health issues. Many seek to blend the best characteristics of two purebreds to create their desired dog. If you take two purebred dogs and mix them together, you’ll end up with what we call “Designer Dog.” Designer Dogs have been gaining popularity in recent times. 2.6 Reputable Breeders and Puppy Prices.2.2 Obedience Training and Socialization.If they are, they’ll be medium-sized, yet their personality will remain friendly.ĭo you think this strong, smart dog is your ideal pet? This article will be your guide! Bogles tend to be big, but they may take on the characteristics of their Beagle parents. They can be trained easily because both parents are kind. The Bogle is a great choice for novice dog owners and those with experience since this breed is considered a family dog instead of a hunting dog. The Boxer is a spirited and strong dog with an intense instinct for protection and will do anything to protect you. They’re extremely well-loved both within the United States and the United Kingdom. The Beagle is a hound dog, which is often employed for hunting as well as other duties. The Beagle Boxer mix is a wonderful dog that can get along with almost everybody. You can count on the Bogle with children since they are referred to as nanny dogs. The energetic and fun Beagle and the gentle and loving Boxer make up the Bogle as a guard dog with an incredible heart. The Bogle’s lifespan is anywhere between 10 to 15 years. Like many designer breeds, the Bogle is less likely to suffer from health issues due to the combination of two purebreds that cancel out most health issues they’ll face as they age. The Boxer, however, levels the behavior, which means that your Bogle is more likely to be a good companion to children than not. Both the Beagle and the Boxer are gentle with children, but the Beagle tends to become angry and snap when small children get too loud. However, this breed is sure to be unique and will differ based on their parent breeds. Quick Summary: The Bogle is a new breed that hasn’t been studied in depth as their purebred counterparts. |
