# Discrete orthogonal polynomials

In mathematics, a sequence of discrete orthogonal polynomials is a sequence of polynomials that are pairwise orthogonal with respect to a discrete measure. Examples include the discrete Chebyshev polynomials, Charlier polynomials, Krawtchouk polynomials, Meixner polynomials, dual Hahn polynomials, Hahn polynomials, and Racah polynomials.
If the measure has finite support, then the corresponding sequence of discrete orthogonal polynomials has only a finite number of elements. The Racah polynomials give an example of this.

## Definition

Consider a discrete measure $\mu$ on some set $S=\{s_{0},s_{1},\dots \}$ with weight function $\omega (x)$.
A family of orthogonal polynomials $\{p_{n}(x)\}$ is called discrete if they are orthogonal with respect to $\omega$ (resp. $\mu$), i.e.,
    $\sum \limits _{x\in S}p_{n}(x)p_{m}(x)\omega (x)=\kappa _{n}\delta _{n,m},$
where $\delta _{n,m}$ is the Kronecker delta.

### Remark

Any discrete measure is of the form
    $\mu =\sum _{i}a_{i}\delta _{s_{i}}$,
so one can define a weight function by $\omega (s_{i})=a_{i}$.

# The American Cotton Planter and the Soil of the South

The American Cotton Planter and Soil of the South was an American monthly magazine for slave-owning American planters. It was the result of the 1857 merger of the periodicals The American Cotton Planter and The Soil of the South. It was published in Montgomery, Alabama, at the printing offices of the Montgomery Advertiser. The editor and publisher was Dr. N. B. Cloud.
Topics covered in the magazine included soil erosion and the "impudence of the negroes". Other topics included race purity as a factor in optimizing slave selection, perceived sleep habits of the slave, the value of the pea as a foodstuff for slaves, and how to resolve the problem of soil exhaustion. Historian Walter Johnson describes The American Cotton Planter and similar works as "as a set of extended efforts to translate a practical knowledge that was most readily obtained by the field hands (and thus expropriated from them) into a set of visual terms—letters, words, charts, illustrations—which could be consumed through their owners' eyes".
The predecessor publications, the American Cotton Planter and The Soil of the South ran from 1853 to 1856, and 1851 to 1857, respectively. The American Cotton Planter and the Soil of the South ceased publication in 1861.
# Dredge valve

The dredge valve is a component of a Cutter Suction Dredge or a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger that is used control the flow of water and sand in the suction and discharge pipes of one of these types of dredgers.
There are 3 cases when this vertical valve can block or reduce the mixture flow of water and sand by lowering its gate:
* 1.from the hopper of the TSHD to the discharge pipe.
* 2.from the dredge cutter head of the CSD to the ship
* 3.from the dredge drag head of the TSHD to the ship
The dredge valve’s gate is hydraulically control and it has raised a lot of challenges because of maintaining it clean. The gate can be blocked by the sand that enters through the dredge valve causing a lot of damages. Because of this reason the dredge valve has a lot of water flushing canals in order to keep it clean.

# Tibet Frontier Commission

The Tibet Frontier Commission headed the British expedition to Tibet in 1903–04. The Commission comprised seven diplomats and army officers, led by Colonel Francis Younghusband. Despatched on the orders of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, the commission was intended to establish diplomatic relations with the government of Tibet and, in particular, to resolve the dispute over the border between Tibet and Sikkim. The commission was escorted by a large military force led by Brigadier-General J. R. L. Macdonald. However, the expedition was met with hostility by a Tibetan government uninterested in negotiation, and conflicts erupted, with the antiquated Tibetan army which was mostly armed with matchlocks and scythes proving no match for a professional army equipped with Maxim machine guns.
Captain Herbert James Walton served as Medical Officer and Naturalist to the commission, and was able to make a comprehensive study of the flora and fauna of the southern and central areas of Tibet during the expedition's slow progress to the capital, Lhasa.

## Members

* Colonel Francis E. Younghusband, CLE (British Commissioner to Tibet)
* Mr. J. Claude White, Political Officer of Sikkim (Deputy-Commissioner)

# Corporate Town of Quorn

The Corporate Town of Quorn was a local government area in South Australia from 1883 to 1969, centred on the town of Quorn.
It was incorporated on 25 October 1883, prior to the 1888 establishment of the rural District Council of Kanyaka, which surrounded the town for most of its history. It consisted of a 171 acre area in Quorn township itself, with parkland surrounding the town subsequently serving as the boundary with the Kanyaka council. It was divided into four wards: North, South, East and West, each represented by two councillors. It gained a small section of the cadastral Hundred of Pichi Richi on 18 April 1888.
The council was based out of the Quorn Town Hall from the building's opening in 1891 until 1953, when it moved to a purpose-built standalone council chamber in Seventh Street. The council was responsible for water supply in Quorn from 1898 to 1943, and responsible for electricity supply from 1923 onwards; it generated its own electricity until 1959-60, and resold power purchased from the Electricity Trust of South Australia for the remainder of its existence. Its population in 1936 was reported to be 1,080.
It merged with the District Council of Kanyaka on 1 April 1969 to form the District Council of Kanyaka-Quorn. Both former council chambers survive, with both its successor councils (Kanyaka-Quorn and the Flinders Ranges Council) based out of the 1953 building, and the former town hall remaining as a heritage-listed public hall.

# Taranaki Province

The Taranaki Province was a province of New Zealand from 1853 until the abolition of provincial government in 1876. Initially known as New Plymouth Province, the province was renamed on 1 January 1859 as the Taranaki Province.

## Area

With an area of some 2,000,000 acres (8,100 km$^2$), New Plymouth Province was the smallest of the initial six provinces, and it was also the least populous. European settlement started in New Plymouth in 1841, which was the province's capital. For the first 30 years, European settlement did not extend many miles beyond New Plymouth.

## History

At the beginning of the 19th century, a coastal fringe some 2 to 4 miles (3.2 to 6.4 km) deep was densely populated with Māori. Iwi from the Waikato region threatened these Ngāti Awa, and during the 1820s, many of the inhabitants left Taranaki. In 1832, Waikato iwi launched an assault with firearms, resulting in the remaining Ngāti Awa being killed or going into slavery apart from the Otaku pā in New Plymouth. When English emigrants arrived in 1841, they found deserted land.
The settlement of the province was organised by the Plymouth Company, a subsidiary of the New Zealand Company which was later absorbed into its parent company. Taranaki was chosen for the settlement by the surveyor Frederic Carrington, and New Plymouth was the only town founded in the country founded through organised settlement that lacked a natural harbour. Carrington argued that fertile land and natural harbours don't come together in New Zealand, and that the land is more important for the settlement, and an artificial harbour will later be affordable. He was present when the breakwater was built 40 years after New Plymouth had been founded.

## Anniversary Day

New Zealand law provides an anniversary day for each province. Taranaki Anniversary Day is celebrated annually on the second Monday in March.

## Superintendents

The Taranaki Province had four Superintendents:
| No. | from | to | Superintendent |
| 1 | 18 Jul 1853 | 13 Dec 1856 | Charles Brown |
| 2 | 3 Feb 1857 | Jun/Jul 1861 | George Cutfield |
| | Jun/Jul 1861 | 8 Aug 1865 | Charles Brown (2nd time) |
| 3 | 7 Sep 1865 | 8 Sep 1869 | Henry Richmond |
| 4 | 2 Oct 1869 | 1 Jan 1877 | Frederic Carrington |

# Dry-powder inhaler

A dry-powder inhaler (DPI) is a device that delivers medication to the lungs in the form of a dry powder. DPIs are commonly used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and COPD although DPIs (such as inhalable insulin) have also been used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
DPIs are an alternative to the aerosol-based inhalers commonly called metered-dose inhaler (or MDI). The DPIs may require some procedure to allow a measured dose of powder to be ready for the patient to take. The medication is commonly held either in a capsule for manual loading or in a proprietary form inside the inhaler. Once loaded or actuated, the operator puts the mouthpiece of the inhaler into their mouth and takes a sharp, deep inhalation (ensuring that the medication reaches the lower parts of the lungs), holding their breath for 5–10 seconds.
There are a variety of such devices. The dose that can be delivered is typically less than a few tens of milligrams in a single breath since larger powder doses may lead to provocation of cough.
Most DPIs rely on the force of patient inhalation to entrain powder from the device and subsequently break-up the powder into particles that are small enough to reach the lungs. For this reason, insufficient patient inhalation flow rates may lead to reduced dose delivery and incomplete deaggregation of the powder, leading to unsatisfactory device performance. Thus, most DPIs have a minimum inspiratory effort that is needed for proper use and it is for this reason that such DPIs are normally used only in older children and adults.

## Inhaler Technique and Use

While DPIs are commonly used in the treatment of lung-based disorders, their use requires dexterity to complete the required sequential steps to achieve application of these devices. Incorrect completion of one or more steps in the use of a DPI can substantially reduce the delivery of the administrated medication and consequently its effectiveness and safety. Numerous studies have demonstrated that between 50 and 100% of patients do not use their inhaler devices correctly, with patients often unaware that they are using their inhaled medication incorrectly. Incorrect inhaler technique has been associated with poorer outcomes.

## Lactose

Some powder inhalers use lactose to:
* Carry the fine particles of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (which must be fine to reach its target)
* Improve the flow-ability of the powder during manufacturing and to aid handling
* Act as a bulking agent
* Aid in powder uptake from the device during inhalation and aerosolization
It has been suggested that such lactose may be harmful to lactose intolerant people, and some doctors advise patients not to use lactose containing DPIs to minimize the risk of hypersensitivity reactions.

## Storage

DPI medication must be stored in a dry place in a temperature of not more than 25 °C (77 °F) and humidity between 40 and 50% in a sealed packaging, since exposure of the powder to moisture degrades the ability of the device to disperse its medication as a fine powder upon inhalation. Some medication also needs photo protection.
# Tarifverbund Nordwestschweiz

The Tarifverbund Nordwestschweiz, also known by its initialisation TNW, is a Swiss public transport tariff network covering the whole of the cantons of Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft, together with parts of the cantons of Aargau, Jura and Solothurn.
The TNW network offers various kinds of tickets, from single tickets to annual season tickets, which are valid on the buses, trams and trains of the operators that are members of the network. Tickets are only valid within the TNW area, and prices are based on zones, with 48 zones covering the whole of the TNW area.
One section of Baselland Transport's tram line 10 crosses through France, and this section of the route is included in the TNW network. However this does not apply to the extension of Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe's tram line 8 to Weil am Rhein in Germany. Instead, the TNW is itself a member of the triregio integrated fares network, which also covers the adjoining areas of France and Germany.

## Operators

The operators which make up the network are:

# Corn Creek Campsite

Corn Creek Campsite is located in the Desert National Wildlife Range and was used from around 1900–1924 for ranching and is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places. Nearby is Mormon Well Spring another listed historic place.
The site was discovered by the archaeologist Bertha Parker in 1930 when she spotted fossil camel bone weathering out of a lake bed deposit. At the time, she was participating in the excavations at nearby Gypsum Cave.
Many visitors are attracted to the bird watching opportunities, namely the LeConte's and crissal thrashers. They are attracted to the creosote in the region which is among the densest and most intact within Clark County.

## History

The site had indications of other use dating back to 5000 BC.
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 4, 1975.
The proposed Yucca Mountain rail line is not expected to impact this site.
