# Complex Analysis/Elementary Functions/Polynomial Functions
## Polynomial Function

A function containing a polynomial rule is known as a polynomial function. A polynomial function with only one variable looks like this: f(t) = t$^3$ - 2t$^2$ + 3t.

## Graphing Polynomial Functions

Graphing such functions can be challenging if you don't know what you are doing. A graphing calculator is very helpful in this process if one is available. To graph polynomial functions on a graphing calculator, follow these steps: 1. turn on the calculator, 2. press the y= button, 3. in the area \Y$_1$, enter in the equation (for example, using the equation above, you would press "x", then the karat button, then 3, then -2, then the "x$^2$" button, then +3x), 4. press the graph button. If no graph appears, then the information entered is incorrect, or you need to widen the window, in which case you would press the "zoom" button and then "zoom out".
# Complex Analysis/Elliptic functions

Definition (elliptic function):
An elliptic function is a function $f\in M(\mathbb {C} )$ such that there exists a lattice $L\subset \mathbb {C}$ a basis $\{w_{1},w_{2}\}$ of which satisfies
    $\forall z\in \mathbb {C} :f(z+w_{1})=f(z)=f(z+w_{2})$.

# Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: The WikiBook/orphaned pages/Hosgri Fault

The Hosgri Fault (also Hosgri Fault Zone, San Gregorio-Hosgri Fault Zone) is an offshore fault (geology)|fault zone located near the Central Coast of California in San Luis Obispo County, California|San Luis Obispo County. The main fault stretches for about 140|km|mi|sing=on, and the coastal communities closest to it are Cambria, California|Cambria, San Simeon, California|San Simeon and Morro Bay, California|Morro Bay, Baywood-Los Osos, California|Baywood Park-Los Osos, and Avila Beach, California|Avila Beach. The fault system (including branches) is some 420 km long, and is a right-lateral strand of the San Andreas fault system

## Fault Information

The Hosgri Fault is a component of the San Andreas Fault system. Its movement is primarily reverse thrust fault|thrust, as well as exhibiting right lateral slip, and is thought to be capable of generating earthquakes of up to magnitude 7.5. The November 4, 1927 Lompoc earthquake (magnitude 7.1) is thought to have occurred on this fault.
Seismology|Seismologists monitor activity on the Hosgri fault constantly because of its physical proximity to the nuclear Diablo Canyon Power Plant. In fact, the fault lies only 2½ miles offshore from the nuclear power plant. More recently in 2008, yet another even closer fault was discovered, the Shoreline Fault 1 mile from the NPP.
Coordinates:|35|07|N|119|39|W

# Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: The WikiBook/orphaned pages/Background on waste storage issue in the US
### Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended

This Act establishes both the Federal government’s responsibility to provide a place for the permanent disposal of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel, and the generators’ responsibility to bear the costs of permanent disposal. Amendments to the Act have focused the Federal government's efforts, through the Department of Energy, on studying a possible site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. If the Department and the President recommend to the Congress that a permanent repository be built there, and if the recommendation survives the special procedures that the Act establishes for Congressional review of the recommendation, the Department will apply to the NRC for authorization to construct the repository. The Act provides for extensive State, Tribal, and public participation in the planning and development of permanent repositories.

# Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: The WikiBook/orphaned pages/Feinstein letter to NRC

1l 20, 2011 The Honorable Gregory Jaczko Chairman, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 Dear Chairman Jaczko: I am writing to request that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) begin examining seismic and tsunami hazards, operational issues, plant security, emergency preparedness, spent fuel storage options and other elements of a nuclear power plant’s “design basis” within the scope of the relicensing process. The current relicensing process is focused entirely on identifying and managing the detrimental effects of aging plant facilities. The process does not reevaluate the threat assessment that formed the basis of the plant’s original design. I believe that our understanding of many threats – especially seismic threats, tsunami threats, spent fuel risks, and terrorist threats – has improved dramatically since most nuclear power plants were originally designed and licensed thirty or more years ago. Relicensing these facilities offers a unique opportunity to review the original assessment of potential threats, in order to ensure that a facility is designed to endure all threats safely. I appreciate that the NRC continuously reviews threats, and has required upgrades to address newly understood concerns outside of the relicensing process. For instance, the Commission issued rules to lower the risk of hydrogen explosions when this threat was identified in the 1980s. However, the ongoing assessment process places the burden of proof on the NRC to demonstrate that a design or operational modification of a fully licensed facility is necessary. In contrast, the relicensing process would place the burden of proof on the facility to demonstrate that it is designed to endure and survive all potential threats. Recent events demonstrate that thirty year old threat assessments can be devastatingly inaccurate. In Japan there have been two earthquakes in four years that exceeded the “design basis” of nuclear plants. In California, researchers have recently found new faults close to nuclear power plants, and tsunami experts have learned that submarine landslides can generate local tsunamis far larger than previously believed. Finally, recent research has demonstrated the susceptibility of storing radioactive spent fuel in densely packed pools. These new threats logically should be considered in a relicensing process, just as they would be in the licensing of a new nuclear power plant in the United States. I strongly encourage the NRC to modify its relicensing policies in order to assure a full reexamination of design basis elements, including seismic and tsunami hazards, operational issues, plant security, emergency preparedness, and spent fuel storage options. If you have any questions or concerns about this request, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with you to ensure that the United States has the world’s safest nuclear industry. Sincerely, Dianne Feinstein, Chairman Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development
# Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: The WikiBook/orphaned pages/Critical Masses: Opposition to Nuclear Power in California, 1958-1978

Critical Masses: Opposition to Nuclear Power in California, 1958-1978 is the first detailed history of the anti-nuclear movement in the United States, written by Thomas Wellock. It is also the first state-level research on the subject with a focus on California. Reviewer Paula Garb has said:
   The book is rich with vivid verbal pictures and the passionate voices of participants on all sides of the controversy around the peaceful atom. It is based on interviews, documents from state and federal archives, and activist papers. Wellock brings to this project the expertise of a former engineer for civilian and navy nuclear reactors, a thorough archivist, and a sensitive interviewer.
The central argument of the book is that the anti-nuclear movement played an important role in the demise of nuclear power in California in the period to 1978.

# Evaluating Development Cooperation/Evaluation Criteria/Impact Evaluation

Impact evaluation assesses the changes that can be attributed to a particular intervention, such as a project, program or policy, both the intended ones, as well as ideally the unintended ones.[1] In contrast to outcome monitoring, which examines whether targets have been achieved, impact evaluation is structured to answer the question: how would outcomes such as participants’ well-being have changed if the intervention had not been undertaken? This involves counterfactual analysis, that is, “a comparison between what actually happened and what would have happened in the absence of the intervention.”[2] Impact evaluations seek to answer cause-and-effect questions. In other words, they look for the changes in outcome that are directly attributable to a program.[3] Impact Evaluation helps us to answer key questions for evidence-based policy making: what works, what doesn’t, where, why and for how much? It has received increasing attention in policy making in recent years in both Western and developing country contexts.[4] It is an important component of the armory of evaluation tools and approaches and integral to global efforts to improve the effectiveness of aid delivery and public spending more generally in improving living standards. Originally more oriented towards evaluation of social sector programs in developing countries, notably conditional cash transfers, impact evaluation is now being increasingly applied in other areas such as the agriculture, energy and transport.

# Evaluating Development Cooperation/Elements Of An Evaluation Action/Planning The M&E Action/Determine What Information The Evaluation Must Provide

An organization aiming at programme program quality should establish a system of Monitoring and Evaluation. In fact in order to ensure program quality programme managers need to use the feed back of monitoring and evaluation in order to: check whether the programme or project is being implemented according to plans and assess whether the programme of project is resulting in the anticipated changes or impacts (thereby fulfilling the basic requirement for a projectized organization); identify key learning points to feed back in improved programme design and management (thereby fulfilling the basic requirement for a learning organization); identify the need and the scope to raise the capacity of the human resources of the organization to manage successfully their task and contribute to the generation of a healthy communication climate within the organization and with external stakeholders. (thereby fulfilling the basic requirement for an employee empowering organization). Building professional reputation and standards in organizational activities and image. There is transparency and accountability in all the aspects of organizational culture and managerial style.

For interactive exploration, a GUI is implemented under PyQt6.

# Projections

A Projection defines a mapping acting on the screen-pixels $z_{pix}=(x_{pix},y_{pix})$ before iteration.
Projections
* doc
* file projections.py

## exponential

An exponential projection will map :$z_{pix}$ as follows:
    ${\bar {z}}_{pix}=f(z_{pix})=\exp(h_{moy})\cdot \exp(dh\cdot z_{pix})$
where:
* $h_{moy}={\frac {1}{2}}\cdot (h_{min}+h_{max})$
* $dh=h_{max}-h_{min}$
The `xy_ratio` of the zoom will be adjusted (during run time) to ensure that: ${\bar {y}}_{pix}$ extends from $-\pi$ to $\pi$
This class can be used with arbitrary-precision deep zooms.
Parameters
* hmin: str or float or mpmath.mpf
* scaling at the lower end of the x-axis
* hmax: str or float or mpmath.mpf
* scaling at the higher end of the x-axis
* rotates_df: bool. If ``True``, the derivative will be scaled but also rotated according to the mapping. Otherwise, only the scaling will be taken into account. A rule of thumb is this value shall be set to ``True`` for a standalone picture, and to ``False`` if used as input for a movie making tool
It is defined in class
Examples
* P01-feigenbaum_expmap.html
* P04-deep_expmap
so
* hmin = -1.3
* hmax = log(1.e7) + 0.3 = 10000000.3

# Fractals/Hopalong

Hopalong orbit-fractals.

# Name

* the Martin-Attractors: were discovered by Barry Martin
* Hopalong: an image is built of points hopping along on an elliptical path starting from one point in the center.

# History

* Hopalong orbits were discovered by Barry Martin from the Aston University, Birmingham.
* A.K. Dewdney presented the Hopalongs in the magazine "Scientific American" (1986)

# Algorithm

An image is calculated using three parameters: a, b and c.
Where
* a, b and c are constants which, by default are initialised to -55, -1 and -42 respectively
* ABS is the absolute value function
* SIGN(x) is the same as x/ABS(x). If x>0 then SIGN(x) = 1, if x<0 then SIGN(x) = −1 and if x = 0 then the result of SIGN(x) is zero, too.
* The color is changed every 2000 dots, until the 10 predefined colors are used, then the colors are repeated.
