The Filter Bank is part of the Digital fields board and provides band-pass filtering for EFI and SCM spectra as well as E12HF peak and average values. The Filter Bank provides band-pass filtering for less computationally and power intensive spectra than the FFT would provide. The process is as follows: Signals are fed to the Filter Bank via a low-pass FIR filter with a cut-off frequency half that of the original signal maximum. The output is passed to the band-pass filters, is differenced from the original signal, then absolute value of the data is taken and averaged. The output from the first low-pass filter is also sent to a second FIR filter with 2:1 decimation. This output is then fed back through the system. The cascade runs 12 cycles for input at 8,192 samples/s and 13 for input at 16,384 samples/sec (EAC input only), reducing the signal (and computing power) by a factor 2 at each cascade. At each cascade a set of data is produced at a sampling frequency of 2^n from 2 Hz to the initial sampling frequency (frequency characteristics for each step are shown below in Table 1). The average from the Filter Bank is compressed to 8 bits with a pseudo-logarithmic encoder. Analog signals sent to the FBK are E12DC and SCM1. The average of the coupled E12HF signal and it's peak value are recorded over 62.5 ms windows (i.e. a 16 Hz sampling rate). Accumulation of values from signal 31.25 ms windows is performed externally. Sensor and electronics design provided by UCB (J. W. Bonnell, F. S. Mozer), Digital Fields Board provided by LASP (R.

Market Dynamics of Baghouse Filter - Fabric Dust Collector Market
Key Drivers for Baghouse Filter - Fabric Dust Collector Market
Rise of Sustainable Technology to Increase the Demand Globally
An increasing number of energy-efficient baghouse dust collectors are in demand due to tighter environmental regulations and increased energy costs. When compared to traditional shaking or reverse air processes, manufacturers are focusing on new technologies such as pulse-jet cleaning systems, which use compressed air in short bursts, to minimize energy use. To reduce waste production and maintenance costs, there is also an increasing need for fabric materials with longer lifespans and better filtration efficiency.
Strict Environment Regulation and Industrialization to Propel Market Growth
Baghouse filters are becoming more and more popular due to growing environmental rules governing emissions management and air quality. The use of efficient air pollution control devices, such as baghouse filters, is mandated by industry compliance with emission standards, which aim to minimize the discharge of particulate matter and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Baghouse filters are also in high demand due to the growth of industrial activities in several industries, such as manufacturing, power generation, mining, and chemical processing. The requirement to regulate emissions and preserve the quality of the surrounding air grows with the extent of industrial output.
Restraint Factor for the Baghouse Filter - Fabric Dust Collector Market
High Cost to Limit the Sales
Purchasing and installing baghouse filtration systems can involve a considerable initial financial outlay, particularly for big industrial plants. Some businesses, especially smaller ones, can be discouraged from implementing baghouse filters due to this cost, especially if they believe the initial outlay to be too high. Additionally, although baghouse filters are typically thought to be cost-effective throughout their operation, continuous maintenance and running costs can mount up. Certain sectors may find it burdensome to pay more for routine maintenance, which includes cleaning, replacing filters, and using energy for operation.
Impact of Covid-19 on the Baghouse Filter - Fabric Dust Collector Market
The COVID-19 epidemic has affected the baghouse filter business in both positive and negative ways. Public health now understands the significance of both indoor and outdoor air quality because of the pandemic. Increased demand for baghouse filters and other air pollution control technology as industries look to enhance the quality of the air within their buildings and the surrounding areas could result from this increased awareness. Furthermore, businesses will probably spend money on ways to lessen airborne pollutants including dust and particulate matter as a result of the heightened focus on workplace safety and cleanliness to stop the spread of COVID-19. By absorbing airborne contaminants, baghouse filters can help create safer and cleaner work environments. But a significant factor in the market expansion was the slowdown in manufacturing activity.

Aqueous environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging efficient non-invasive tool for species inventory studies. To maximize performance of downstream quantitative PCR (qPCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications, quality and quantity of the starting material is crucial, calling for optimized capture, storage and extraction techniques of eDNA. Previous comparative studies for eDNA capture/storage have tested precipitation and 'open' filters. However, practical 'enclosed' filters which reduce unnecessary handling have not been included. Here, we fill this gap by comparing a filter capsule (Sterivex-GP polyethersulfone, pore size 0·22 μm, hereafter called SX) with commonly used methods. Our experimental set-up, covering altogether 41 treatments combining capture by precipitation or filtration with different preservation techniques and storage times, sampled one single lake (and a fish-free control pond). We selected documented capture methods that have successfully targeted a wide range of fauna. The eDNA was extracted using an optimized protocol modified from the DNeasy® Blood & Tissue kit (Qiagen). We measured total eDNA concentrations and Cq-values (cycles used for DNA quantification by qPCR) to target specific mtDNA cytochrome b (cyt b) sequences in two local keystone fish species. SX yielded higher amounts of total eDNA along with lower Cq-values than polycarbonate track-etched filters (PCTE), glass fibre filters (GF) or ethanol precipitation (EP). SX also generated lower Cq-values than cellulose nitrate filters (CN) for one of the target species. DNA integrity of SX samples did not decrease significantly after 2 weeks of storage in contrast to GF and PCTE. Adding preservative before storage improved SX results. In conclusion, we recommend SX filters (originally designed for filtering micro-organisms) as an efficient capture method for sampling macrobial eDNA. Ethanol or Longmire's buffer preservation of SX immediately after filtration is recommended. Preserved SX capsules may be stored at room temperature for at least 2 weeks without significant degradation. Reduced handling and less exposure to outside stress compared with other filters may contribute to better eDNA results. SX capsules are easily transported and enable eDNA sampling in remote and harsh field conditions as samples can be filtered/preserved on site.

Soluble iron (Fe), the Fe passing through a 0.02 µm Anodisc membrane filter, is reported in nmol Fe per kg of seawater. Samples were collected on the U.S. GEOTRACES North Atlantic Zonal Transect, Leg 2, in 2011.
In comparing this data to other published profiles of soluble Fe, it is valuable to know that soluble Fe is a highly operationally-defined parameter. The two most common methods of collecting soluble Fe samples are via 0.02 µm Anopore membrane filtration (this study) and by cross-flow filtration. An intercalibration between the two methods used to collect soluble Fe samples on the U.S. Atlantic GEOTRACES cruises are described in this excerpt (PDF) from a Fitzsimmons manuscript (in preparation). The intercalibration determined that "soluble Fe produced by cross-flow filtration (10 kDa membrane) is only ~65-70% of the soluble Fe produced by Anopore filtration."
Please note that some US GEOTRACES data may not be final, pending intercalibration results and further analysis. If you are interested in following changes to US GEOTRACES NAT data, there is an RSS feed available via the BCO-DMO US GEOTRACES project page (scroll down and expand the "Datasets" section).

This resource contains a probability of occurrence grid of filter feeders for the greater Darwin Harbour region as part of a baseline seabed mapping program of Darwin Harbour and Bynoe Harbour. This project was funded through offset funds provided by an INPEX-led Ichthys LNG Project to the Northern Territory Government’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NTG-DENR) with co-investment from Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS). The intent of this program is to improve knowledge of the marine environments in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions by collating and collecting baseline data that enable the creation of thematic habitat maps and information to underpin marine resource management decisions. The probability of occurrence grid of filter feeders was derived from a compilation of multiple surveys undertaken by GA, AIMS and NTG-DENR between 2011 and 2017, including GA0333 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0341 (Siwabessy et al., 2015), GA0351/SOL6187 (Siwabessy et al., 2016), GA4452/SOL6432 (Siwabessy et al., 2017), GA0356 (Radke et al., 2017), and GA0358 and GA0359 (Radke et al., 2018), adding to those from a previous survey GA0333 collected by GA, AIMS and NTG-DENR.

The origin of baleen whales (Mysticeti), the largest animals on Earth, is closely tied to their signature filter-feeding strategy. Unlike their modern relatives, archaic whales possessed a well-developed, heterodont adult dentition. How these teeth were used, and what role their function and subsequent loss played in the emergence of filter feeding, is an enduring mystery. In particular, it has been suggested that elaborate tooth crowns may have enabled stem mysticetes to filter with their postcanine teeth in a manner analogous to living crabeater and leopard seals, thereby facilitating the transition to baleen-assisted filtering. Here we show that the teeth of archaic mysticetes are as sharp as those of terrestrial carnivorans, raptorial pinnipeds and archaeocetes, and thus were capable of capturing and processing prey. By contrast, the postcanine teeth of leopard and crabeater seals are markedly blunter, and clearly unsuited to raptorial feeding. Our results suggest that mysticetes never passed through a tooth-based filtration phase, and that the use of teeth and baleen in early whales was not functionally connected. Continued selection for tooth sharpness in archaic mysticetes is best explained by a feeding strategy that included both biting and suction, similar to that of most living pinnipeds and, probably, early toothed whales (Odontoceti).

File List SupplementRcode.txt Description The file SupplementRcode.txt is a plain text file containing R code for the method.
R Aqr is a symbiotic binary system consisting of a mira variable, a hot companion with a spectacular jet outflow, and an extended emission line nebula. Because of its proximity to the Sun, this object has been studied in much detail with many types of high resolution imaging and interferometric techniques. We have used R Aqr as test target for the visual camera subsystem ZIMPOL, which is part of the new extreme adaptive optics (AO) instrument SPHERE at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We describe SPHERE/ZIMPOL test observations of the R Aqr system taken in H{alpha} and other filters in order to demonstrate the exceptional performance of this high resolution instrument. We compare our observations with data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and illustrate the complementarity of the two instruments. We use our data for a detailed characterization of the inner jet region of R Aqr. We analyze the high resolution ~=25mas images from SPHERE/ZIMPOL and determine from the H{alpha} emission the position, size, geometric structure, and line fluxes of the jet source and the clouds in the innermost region <2"(<400AU) of R Aqr. The data are compared to simultaneous HST line filter observations. The H{alpha} fluxes and the measured sizes of the clouds yield H{alpha} emissivities for many clouds from which one can derive the mean density, mass, recombination time scale, and other cloud parameters. Our H{alpha} data resolve for the first time the R Aqr binary and we measure for the jet source a relative position 45 mas West (position angle -89.5{deg}) of the mira. The central jet source is the strongest H{alpha} component with a flux of about 2.5x10^-12^erg/cm^2^/s. North east and south west from the central source there are many clouds with very diverse structures. Within 0.5" (100AU) we see in the SW a string of bright clouds arranged in a zig-zag pattern and, further out, at 1"-2", fainter and more extended bubbles. In the N and NE we see a bright, very elongated filamentary structure between 0.2"-0.7" and faint perpendicular "wisps" further out. Some jet clouds are also detected in the ZIMPOL [OI] and HeI filters, as well as in the HST-WFC3 line filters for H{alpha}, [OIII], [NII], and [OI]. We determine jet cloud parameters and find a very well defined correlation Ne{prop.to}r^-1.3^ between cloud density and distance to the central binary. Densities are very high with typical values of Ne~=3x10^5^cm^-3^ for the "outer" clouds around 300AU, Ne~=3x10^6^cm^-3^ for the "inner" clouds around 50AU, and even higher for the central jet source. The high Ne of the clouds implies short recombination or variability timescales of a year or shorter. H{alpha} high resolution data provide a lot of diagnostic information for the ionized jet gas in R Aqr. Future H{alpha} observations will provide the orientation of the orbital plane of the binary and allow detailed hydrodynamical investigations of this jet outflow and its interaction with the wind of the red giant companion.

Whether in meta-analysis or single experiments, selecting results based on statistical significance leads to overestimated effect sizes, impeding falsification. We critique a quantitative synthesis that used significance to score and select previously published effects for situation awareness-performance associations (Endsley, 2019). How much does selection using statistical significance quantitatively impact results in a meta-analytic context? We evaluate and compare results using significance-filtered effects versus analyses with all effects as-reported. Endsley reported high predictiveness scores and large positive mean correlations but used atypical methods: the hypothesis was used to select papers and effects. Papers were assigned the maximum predictiveness scores if they contained at-least-one significant effect, yet most papers reported multiple effects, and the number of non-significant effects did not impact the score. Thus, the predictiveness score was rarely less than the maximum. In addition, only significant effects were included in Endsley’s quantitative synthesis. Filtering excluded half of all reported effects, with guaranteed minimum effect sizes based on sample size. Results for filtered compared to as-reported effects clearly diverged. Compared to the mean of as-reported effects, the filtered mean was overestimated by 56%. Furthermore, 92% (or 222 out of 241) of the as-reported effects were below the mean of filtered effects. We conclude that outcome-dependent selection of effects is circular, predetermining results and running contrary to the purpose of meta-analysis. Instead of using significance to score and filter effects, meta-analyses should follow established research practices.

Biogeoclimatic Ecosystem Classification (BEC) system is the ecosystem classification adopted in the forest management within British Columbia based on vegetation, soil, and climate characteristics whereas Site Series is the smallest unit of the system. The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development held under the Government of British Columbia (“the Ministry”) developed a web-based tool known as BEC Map for maintaining and sharing the information of the BEC system, but the Site Series information was not included in the tool due to its quantity and complexity. In order to allow users to explore and interact with the information, this project aimed to develop a web-based tool with high data quality and flexibility to users for the Site Series classes using the “Shiny” and “Leaflet” packages in R. The project started with data classification and pre-processing of the raster images and attribute tables through identification of client requirements, spatial database design and data cleaning. After data transformation was conducted, spatial relationships among these data were developed for code development. The code development included the setting-up of web map and interactive tools for facilitating user friendliness and flexibility. The codes were further tested and enhanced to meet the requirements of the Ministry. The web-based tool provided an efficient and effective platform to present the complicated Site Series features with the use of Web Mapping System (WMS) in map rendering. Four interactive tools were developed to allow users to examine and interact with the information. The study also found that the mode filter performed well in data preservation and noise minimization but suffered from long processing time and creation of tiny sliver polygons.
