The valves all had dual coil springs, but the springs themselves were wound progressively, so that there was relatively less tension when the valve was seated, increasing greatly as the valve got pushed down. And the camshaft itself was a solid piece of work, weighing some three pounds. But ten grand! How did they achieve that? First, there was a single overhead camshaft, spun by an endless chain between the cylinders. Looking into the powertrain, the parallel twin used alloy cylinders with iron liners, and the oversquare engine had lots of possibilities for revs–10,500 of them! In 1968 street-going four-strokes were not known for spinning ten thousand times a minute, and the less knowledgeable thought that this would mean a brief lifespan. Those were the differences, now for the similarities. There were also rubber gaiters on the CL’s fork legs, always good for the daredevil look. Front fender was slightly abbreviated, and the gas tank held 2.4 gallons, almost a gallon less than the CB’s. ![]() This was more about looks than performance, with the more serious off-roader, the SL, having a 21-incher. CL owners usually ignored the redline on the tachometer dial.Īnother Scrambler notion was the larger front wheel, 19 inches as opposed to 18. Power was 33 horses at 9,500 rpm in the CL, compared to the CB’s 36 at 10,500, despite the engine internals being identical. This whole CL exhaust shebang weighed a substantial 24 pounds, and was responsible for a loss of several horsepower compared to its CB sibling, which had a longer, more efficient exhaust. A secondary reason, which should really be the primary, was that the actual pipes carrying the exhaust were quite small in order to maintain a high exhaust-gas velocity that was essential to the tuning system. Interestingly, the shiny header pipes were pipes within pipes, the ostensible reason being that the owner would not have to put up with the inevitable bluing that arrived with time. Which was covered by a black heat shield for the first two years, and then the shield was chromed. The essence of the scrambler style were those upswept pipes, curving individually around the left side of the cylinders and ending up in one large muffler that held a permanent spark arrester.

It was a styling thing, much like the “adventure” bikes of today, with the rider liking to think that he can dash across the Gobi Desert any time he wants. Here we are dealing with the Scrambler version, better characterized as a street-scrambler, having only minor pretensions to being competent off the pavement. over the six years of production, which means a lot of them are probably still stashed in old barns or forgotten behind the junk in the back of the garage. All told, more than 600,000 of these 350s were sold in the U.S. Honda used it in three models, the 1968 CB Super Sport and CL Scrambler, and a year later the SL Motorsport. No matter, as minor exaggeration is considered to be quite acceptable in the advertising world. The bore was increased from 60 to 64mm, the stroke reduced from 54 to 50.6mm, the true size of the “new” engine being only 325cc. Having a different number would be good, from 305 to 350. What to do? Shouldn’t cost too much because lots of money was going into the carefully kept secret–the four-cylinder CB750. And over the next 10 years the company acquired a very positive reputation, well deserved, for having high revving, hard hitting, highly dependable products, especially with its 305 series, like the CB77 Super Hawk and CL77 Scrambler.īut, as we say about horses, the 305s were getting a bit long in the tooth.

To have a better understanding of KM curve directly, a transformation of KM curve into difference in survival probability and risk difference can been introduced as absolute measures, which have been highly recommended for clinical decision in comparative studies because of their intuition and practical value. The diversity of KM curve makes it difficult to understand TTE data directly and comprehensively, especially when two survival curves intersect. Our brains have been trained to chronically focus on the rate of decline between groups however, many useful information may be ignored. For example, two curves separate widely from the start to the end of follow-up, or they can track closely at the early stage and separate at the end, or they can crossover at the early stage or at late stage. KM curve with two groups can be presented with various forms. Time-specific survival probability can be estimated from KM curves and median survival time when survival probability drops to 50% or below. Previous studies have presented the application of Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve to analyze TTE data from oxidative medicine. KM curve becomes an essential part in generating evidence-based information on TTE data and has been used for more than 70 years. In these trials, time-to-event (TTE) data was collected, including survival time (until the occurrence of an event of interest, for example, death and progression of multiple myeloma) and status at last observation. Many therapies, including bortezomib and melphalan, have been studied in many trials for untreated multiple myeloma. Antioxidant defense endowed multiple myeloma cells with resistance to high-dose melphalan. Unbalanced production of ROS leads to oxidative stress, and the oxidative stress signaling could contribute to acquired melphalan resistance. These plasma cells overproduce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in unbalanced redox homeostasis. ![]() Multiple myeloma is a neoplastic disease of plasma cell characterized by the accumulation of clonal cells in the bone marrow. They will provide clear insight in treatment effect and assist clinicians to make decision comprehensively. The 5 complementary plots with KM curve give a broad and straightforward picture of potential time-varying effect. When proportional hazard assumption was not met, estimated hazard ratio from traditional Cox regression was not appropriate, and time-varying hazard ratios could be presented instead of an average and single value. Changed values from landmark analyses were used to inspect conditional treatment effect the turning points could be identified for further landmark analysis. Absolute effects were presented in the 3 plots of difference in survival probability, risk, and restricted mean survival time. Entanglement and intersection of two KM curves would make the 5 complementary plots to fluctuate over time intuitively. We reconstructed individual patient data, and plotted 5 complementary plots (difference in survival probability and risk difference, difference in restricted mean survival time, landmark analyses, and hazard ratio over time), along with KM curve. Three KM curves were identified from published randomized control trials: (a) curves diverged immediately (b) intersected curves with statistical significance and (c) intersected curves without statistical significance. Complementary plots might promote clear insights in time-varying effect from KM curve. However, time-varying effect might be presented in KM curve and cannot be intuitively observed. Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve has been widely used in the field of oxidative medicine and cellular longevity. ![]() In fact, he thinks that sometimes they plan too much and would be better to go with the flow more in their services. He likes the sound of what Steve is saying … and besides it’s never too late to change the plan. This means that they can clash a bit – especially as Stu is the worship group’s representative on the church leadership team. Often these things seem little more than gimmicks, and Stu can’t see the point in changing a formula that already works well. He thinks that Steve is never satisfied, always wanting to go on to something new and untried. (In fact, he has some suggestions about a couple of new things they could try on Sunday.) He can see that these new possibilities could improve the way worship is done. Steve has just come back from a worship leaders’ workshop that the others couldn’t get to, and he is fizzing with ideas of new possibilities for the group. Meanwhile Will, Stu, Sarah and Steve are discussing how things are going at church with the music. In fact, why doesn’t she suggest they all go somewhere for coffee? Truth is, Naomi is frequently the first to leave most social events. As a matter of fact, Rose would love to have talked to her about how she thought the practice went, except that Naomi was the first to leave. Naomi is an extremely thoughtful person – she plays the keyboard with such sensitivity. The downside is that some nights she goes away from the practice wishing she hadn’t said quite so much, and sometimes she wishes she could be more like her friend Naomi who is on the keyboard. It is never a problem for her to find words to fill the gaps between songs, and her enthusiasm tends to lift others. Rose is rostered on as worship leader, a role that she enjoys. It’s Thursday night and the church worship team has just finished running through the songs for next Sunday’s services. How we approach organisation – is it primarily through being organised, decisive and systematic (Judging) or is it a more flexible and spontaneous tendency (Perceptive)? How we make decisions – is it primarily through reasoning, analysing and trying to be objective (Thinking) or is it mainly by way of the more subjective and personal issues of values and feelings (Feeling)? What we pay most attention to – do we focus on facts, data and reality (Sensing) or do we focus on possibilities and respond to hunches (iNtuition)? How we are energised – is it primarily by interaction with others and activity (Extraversion) or is it mainly by the inner world of thoughts and reflection (Introversion)? The MBTI revolves around four key considerations. As a result, they are assigned to one of sixteen different categories or types (these are made up from the letters representing each preference). Those completing the questionnaire are asked to choose between two possible preferences. They differ in length, according to their purpose. There are a number of MBTI questionnaire forms available. Because we know of many people who have benefited from using the MBTI and there are many resources readily available using this tool, we offer the following introduction.ĭeveloped by Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs, the MBTI® is based on the observations and theories of Carl Jung.

"Dress warmly, plan to watch the sky between 10 p.m. Ideally, time your trip to coincide with the new moon, and make sure to get away from city lights when it's time to look up, he added. Winter and springtime are generally less cloudy than autumn in and around the northern auroral zone, so planning a trip between December and April makes sense. You also need clear, dark skies, emphasizes Charles Deehr, a professor emeritus and aurora forecaster at the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Geophysical Institute, whose guide to aurora viewing (opens in new tab) has lots of great information. When the sun shoots these geysers of plasma in the direction of Earth, wonderful auroras can be expected.īut it's not just the solar weather forecast you need to monitor to have the aurora experience of a lifetime. Coronal mass ejections are the most powerful source of charged particles emitted from the corona, the sun's upper atmosphere. The good news is that the sun's 11-year cycle of activity is picking up and we will see more sun spots, flares and coronal mass ejections going forward than in the previous years. You need darkness to see the northern lights, and places in the auroral zone have precious little of it during the summer months. If you're planning an aurora-viewing trip, try not to schedule it in the middle of summer. The northern lights are more formally known as the aurora borealis, and are caused by interactions between the solar wind, which is the stream of charged particles emanating from the sun, and the Earth's magnetic field.

Shops can generate their own SKUs for their products to track their inventory. UPC barcodes are created by GS1 and must be licensed by them and purchased from them to be used.Īlternatively, SKUs are barcodes unique to individual retailers. For example, a global brand might have a specific food or household product that has a UPC barcode, used by all retailers worldwide. They remain constant whatever retailer or location a product is being sold at. In simple terms, UPCs are used on a global scale to mark products. ![]() People often get confused by different types of barcodes, most commonly UPCs vs. What Is The Difference Between UPC And SKU Barcodes? You may have seen these used on restaurants or shops to link to menus or brand websites. Quick Response (QR) codes are a type of 2D barcode which are increasingly used today. You can encode both alphanumeric data (like in 1D barcodes)and other data including images and web addresses. They store more data than 1D barcodes but are visually smaller. These use patterns of different shapes to hold data. They are only useful if the code is linked in a database to a product and pricing.ĢD Barcodes are the second type. They hold a limited amount of data and get longer horizontally as you add more information. They are typically found on consumer goods, for example, the Universal ProductCodes (UPCs) found on food and other widely sold products across the world.ġD barcodes are the most well-known and common type.
