# Isaac Dalby

Isaac Dalby (1744 – 16 October 1824) was an English mathematician, surveyor and teacher. He was involved in the Principal Triangulation of Great Britain, the first high-precision trigonometric survey of Great Britain.

## Life

Dalby was born in Gloucestershire in 1744. He attended a local school, and was expected to be a clothworker; but having taught himself mathematics, he secured the post of usher in a country school. After three years he opened his own school.
The venture failed, and in 1772 he arrived in London, and obtained an appointment as teacher of arithmetic in Archbishop Tenison's School in Lambeth. Afterwards he was employed by Topham Beauclerk in making astronomical observations, in a building which the latter had erected for the purpose; he was also librarian of Beauclerk's large library.
This arrangement was broken up by the death of Beauclerk in 1780; in the following year Dalby was appointed mathematics master in a naval school at Chelsea, which later failed. In 1787 he was recommended by Jesse Ramsden, the scientific instrument maker, to General William Roy, whom he assisted from 1787 to 1790 in the Anglo-French survey to connect the Greenwich meridian and the Paris meridian. He was engaged at a later period with Colonel Edward Williams and Captain William Mudge to work on the trigonometrical survey of England and Wales.
In 1799 he was appointed first professor of mathematics in the senior department of the Royal Military College, High Wycombe, which subsequently moved to Farnham in Surrey, and later became the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He held this post for twenty-one years, resigning it in 1820, when old age and infirmity had overtaken him. He was a contributor to The Ladies' Diary, and was an original member of the Linnean Society of London.
Dalby died at Farnham on 16 October 1824, and was buried there at St Andrew's Church. His wife Lucy died in 1825.

## Publications

He published:
* Account of the late Reuben Burrow's Measurement of a Degree of Longitude and another of Latitude in Bengal (London, 1796)

# Denis Robert Pack-Beresford

Denis Robert Pack-Beresford OBE (1864–1942) was an Irish entomologist and arachnologist.

## Life

Denis Robert Pack-Beresford was born on 23 March 1864, the son of Denis Pack-Beresford of Fenagh House, Bagenalstown, County Carlow, and Annette Brown. He was the eldest son of nine children. His father served as MP for County Carlow from 1862 to 1868. Pack-Beresford attended Rugby School, and then Christ Church, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1887.
Pack-Beresford married Alice Harriet Cromie Lyle (c.1869 – 2 June 1918) in 1891, with which he had one adopted daughter, Vera. Aside from his interest in zoology, Pack-Beresford became the estate owner at Fenagh House in 1881, and went on to serve as the High Sheriff of Carlow, the Deputy Lieutenant, and Justice of the Peace. He was appointed an OBE in 1918. He died on 6 March 1942, and his estate passed to his nephew Commander Denis John Pack-Beresford. During the First World War Denis R. Pack-Beresford served on the committee of the Order of St John and British Red Cross Society as part of the civilian war effort.

## Zoological work

Although Pack-Beresford is noted as being interested in natural history since childhood, he did not publish on the subject until 1898. He is most notable for his contributions to the field of arachnology and the study of woodlice and wasps in Ireland and Britain. He was a member of the Royal Irish Academy (RIA) sitting on its council, and the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) acting as hon. secretary and vice-president during his life. It was through his association with the RIA that he took part in its surveys of Lambay and Clare Island. He was encouraged in his study of woodlice by R.F. Scharff, and G.H. Carpenter to work on spiders.
Due to failing eyesight, Pack-Beresford had to give up his work towards the end of his life, as it relied heavily on the use of microscopes. His zoological collections are now housed in the Natural History Museum, Dublin and his papers are held by the Royal Irish Academy.

# Stanney Brook

Stanney Brook is a watercourse in Greater Manchester, England. It originates in the Burnedge area of Shaw and Crompton, and flows through Milnrow into Rochdale before joining the River Roch at Newbold Brow. Alone among the watercourses of Milnrow and Newhey, it does not pass through the centre of either village, and flows directly into the River Roch, rather than first into the River Beal. Its name derives from the Lancashire dialect word "stanner", a ridge of stones. It is also unusual in that the borough in which it rises, changes, depending on the wetness of surrounding moorland. The brook drops 100 metres in a little over 5.5 kilometres, or 330feet in 3.5 miles. It is culverted four times, generally is only 60 cm (2 ft) wide, and rarely exceeds 90 cm (3 ft) in width at any point.

## Sources

The source of the brook, when the moorland is wet, is 200m south of Burnedge Lane, High Crompton, in Oldham Metropolitan Borough. When the moorland is dry, the first sign of the brook is from the Burnedge Lane bridge, looking north into the brook's clough, in Rochdale Metropolitan Borough. The brook then runs past Knott Booth and Dig Gate farms to its first culvert, beneath the M62 motorway.

## North of M62 Motorway

North of the M62, the brook drops down a cascade of 17 concrete steps, including a 100degree bend, beneath Sir Isaac Newton Way, in the Kingsway Business Park, near the head of Ashfield Lane, Milnrow, and supplies a mere south of the eponymous Stanney Brook park, into which it proceeds to form the eastern boundary. It then flows across private land in the Business Park, where there is a triple-discrete arch-underbridge under Michael Faraday Avenue, with one arch for the brook, and one each for two land drains flowing into the brook after the underbridge. It then flows across to, and under, the Manchester-Rochdale Metrolink (formerly train) line, just north of the Kingsway Business Park stop. Its narrow meandering path can be clearly seen from both sides of a Metrolink tram, from which the triple arch underbridge may also be glimpsed. The brook then disappears into a long culvert beneath the Rochdale Canal, Kingsway Retail Park and the junction of Kingsway and Milnrow Road. It emerges to form the northern boundary of Jubilee Park, a narrow Forestry Commission park. The brook proceeds past Belfield Lodge into a deep clough to the north of Belfield Lane, Rochdale, from where it is again culverted beneath what was once a factory. It emerges close to Croxton Avenue, Newbold Brow, and traverses Roch Wood to join the River Roch, beside a footbridge from Gowers Street, Hamer, Rochdale.

# Earliest eligible virtual deadline first scheduling

Earliest eligible virtual deadline first (EEVDF) is a dynamic priority proportional share scheduling algorithm for soft real-time systems.

## Algorithm

EEVDF was first described in the 1995 paper "Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First : A Flexible and Accurate Mechanism for Proportional Share Resource Allocation" by Ion Stoica and Hussein Abdel-Wahab. It uses notions of virtual time, eligible time, virtual requests and virtual deadlines for determining scheduling priority. It has the property that when a job keeps requesting service, the amount of service obtained is always within the maximum quantum size of what it is entitled.

## Linux kernel scheduler

In 2023, Peter Zijlstra proposed replacing the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) in the Linux kernel with an EEVDF process scheduler. The aim was to remove the need for CFS "latency nice" patches. The EEVDF scheduler replaced CFS in version 6.6 of the Linux kernel.

# Santa Caterina del Monte di Pietà, Alcamo

    This article is a translation of the article it:Ex Chiesa di Santa Caterina del Monte di Pietà in the Italian Wikipedia.
Santa Caterina del Monte di Pietà ("Saint Catherine of the Mount of Piety") was a Catholic church in Alcamo, in the province of Trapani.

## History

The original church of this name was built in 1518 by the local Confraternity of the mount of piety (Confraternita del Santo Monte di Pietà) at the western side of the town's principal church. The confraternity's rectors decided to construct a new and better church on the main street, Corso 6 Aprile, opposite the present Church of the Holy Guardian Angel also known as the Church of the Riparate. (The Riparate [sheltered women] were those who, abandoning an immoral life, took shelter in an institution without becoming nuns: those who became religious sisters were known as Repentite.)
The church on Corso 6 Aprile owed its importance to being the seat of this confraternity, which assisted the poor in cases of need or illness. It has long been closed to worship and has been deconsecrated.
The confraternity's original church, which it abandoned, was in 1619 aggregated by the bishop of Mazara del Vallo to Holy Trinity Parish. It ended up being given in 1634 to the town's principal church for use as a courtyard leading to the sacristy.

## Description and works of art

The interior of the church had a single nave with paintings. One of the paintings, now in the Sacred Art Museum of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption, is of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. It dates from 1621 and is attributed to Giuseppe Carrera or Giacomo Lo Verde.
The rather handsome façade with a simple portal and four noteworthy pilasters on tall bases is of 1608.

## The Confraternity

The Confraternity was already in existence in 1430 and had its seat in the town's principal church. Probably in 1635, the Confraternity of the Holy Mount of Piety became the Company of the Holy Mount of Piety (Compagnia del Santo Monte di Pietà).
The members of the Confraternity, "nobility and men of standing", wore as their ceremonial habit sackcloth, baize cloaks and dark grey felt hats and a badge representing Jesus in the tomb. After 1635, the members of the Company wore white sackcloth and visors, with the emblem of Our Lord of Piety on their backs.
Their duties were:
* to celebrate the feast of Saint Catherine of Alexandria on 25 November
* to help the poor with alms.
* to participate every Monday and during the octave of 2 November in Requiem Mass in Saint Catherine's Church for the dead
* on Holy Monday to go in procession with priests to the church of Saint Hippolytus for the victims of the 1575 plague who were buried there
This cemetery was given to the Confraternity in 1581 for them to build there to build a church dedicated to God and the Virgin Mary, and to the protectors from plague Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian.
The company was probably still active in 1924, but no longer exists.
# HCN4

Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HCN4 gene.
There are four HCN channels. HCN4 is prominently expressed in the pace maker region of the mammalian heart. Some humans with bradycardia and Sick sinus syndrome have been shown to have mutations in their HCN4 gene. The role of HCN channels in autonomic control of heart rate is currently a matter of ongoing investigation.

## Interactions

HCN4 has been shown to interact with HCN2.

# Elizabeth A. Allen

Elizabeth Acland Allen (1901–1969) was a British social activist of the 20th century involved in a number of women's, liberal and civil liberties organisations.
Elizabeth Allen was the eldest of three daughters of Arthur Acland Allen, a British Liberal Party politician who served as a member of parliament (MP) between 1906 and 1918.
Allen is recorded as having been employed in the 1930s as a secretary of Rosa Manus, a Dutch activist involved in a number of women's organisations. In 1939 she acted as secretary of the visa committee of the British Committee for Refugees from Czechoslovakia, an organisation established in 1938 after the Munich Agreement enabling the occupation of Czechoslovakia precipitated an exodus of refugees from the Sudetenland.
Allen became the General Secretary of the (UK) National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL) in 1942, serving until 1960; she was the only women of the time to lead a large advocacy organisation. UK security services worked on the presumption that there was a nexus between the NCCL and the Communist Party of Great Britain on the basis that a number of people involved in NCCL were fellow travellers of that party. The Metropolitan Police Special Branch took the view that Allen's accession to the General Secretary role brought the organisation ‘more firmly than ever under Communist Party control’. The NCCL under Allen has been described as dreary, very stagnant, and her leadership described as timid. A number of previous supporters had left the organisation and it was perceived to have a reduced status, and to have lost the glamour of its early years. In the early 1940s, it expanded its anti-fascist work. Later in her term, its priorities shifted towards the provision of information and guidance on existing rights and towards a social service function. One area of concentration was on the rights of mentally ill people confined to institutions, which informed a Royal Commission on mental health provision, which in turn led to the Mental Health Act 1959.
Allen was vice-president of the Women's Liberal Federation, a member of the British International Women's Day Committee, and according to Francisca de Haan, one of the most prominent women involved in establishing the Women's International Democratic Federation in 1945, and the keynote speaker on women's rights at the November 1945 WIDF Paris congress.
She was also, in 1945, a member of the International Alliance of Women’s International Committee. She is recorded in 1945 as having compiled a report on a 10-day visit to northern France for the IAW.
Two of Allen's works in connection with the NCCL are recorded in the archives of Sylvia Scaffardi at Hull History Centre:
* The first year’s work (draft, 1935)
* Local government and civil liberty (pamphlet, 1945)
Other works include:
