  • Find Moths with Moth Traps
    3.5 Sugaring Moth traps will attract the greatest variety of moths, but not all moths are equally attracted to light. Some can be observed using sugary bait instead. Moths come to “sugar” because they feed on nectar, sap and honeydew, all of which are unrefined sources of sugar (however, some moths do not feed as adults, and therefore will never be seen at sugar sources). The success of the technique is variable - warm humid nights with a light wind are best for sugaring (as they are for most forms of mothing), but the technique will also work on far from ideal nights, and not work on nights that seem good for no apparent reason. Ingredients 454g Tin of Black Treacle 1Kg Brown Sugar (the darker the better) 500ml Brown Ale or Bitter (fizzy drink like cola will do as an alternative) Paint brush. Slowly heat the ale (or cola) in a large pan and simmer for five minutes. Stir in and dissolve the sugar, followed by the treacle and then simmer for two more minutes. Allow to cool before decanting into a container. A drop of rum stirred in just before use is recommended but not essential. Paint the mixture about eye level onto 10- 20 tree trunks or fence posts just before dusk and check for moths by torch-light for the first two hours of darkness. A variation of this technique is “ wine roping ”. This works on a similar principle to the above. Ingredients Bottle of cheap red wine 1kg sugar 1m lengths of thick cord or light rope made from absorbent material.

  • The Algebra of Open and Interconnected Systems
    The Algebra of Open and Interconnected Systems Brendan Fong Hertford College University of Oxford arXiv:1609.05382v1 [math.CT] 17 Sep 2016 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science Trinity 2016 For all those who have prepared food so I could eat and created homes so I could live over the past four years. You too have laboured to produce this; I hope I have done your labours justice. Abstract Herein we develop category-theoretic tools for understanding network- style diagrammatic languages. The archetypal network-style diagram- matic language is that of electric circuits; other examples include signal flow graphs, Markov processes, automata, Petri nets, chemical reaction networks, and so on. The key feature is that the language is comprised of a number of components with multiple (input/output) terminals, each possibly labelled with some type, that may then be connected together along these terminals to form a larger network. The components form hyperedges between labelled vertices, and so a diagram in this language forms a hypergraph. We formalise the compositional structure by intro- ducing the notion of a hypergraph category. Network-style diagrammatic languages and their semantics thus form hypergraph categories, and se- mantic interpretation gives a hypergraph functor. The first part of this thesis develops the theory of hypergraph categories. In particular, we introduce the tools of decorated cospans and corela- tions. Decorated cospans allow straightforward construction of hyper- graph categories from diagrammatic languages: the inputs, outputs, and their composition are modelled by the cospans, while the `decorations' specify the components themselves.

  • Candy Making Made Easy (Because It Is)
    05_597345 ch01.qxd 7/29/05 7:08 PM Page 9 Chapter 1 Candy Making Made Easy (Because It Is) Recipes in In This Chapter This Chapter ᮣ Gearing up to make candy ᮣ Dream Dates ᮣ Identifying some great confections ᮣ Checking out special uses for your candy-making skills ne point I stress throughout this book is that candy making is pretty Oeasy. After you learn a few basics and prepare yourself and your envi- ronment according to my simple guidelines, all you have to do is follow a few procedures. I hate to say this, but if I can make candy, you can make candy. When I train new staff members in my candy shop, I observe that, at first, they’re hesitant and overly careful about handling the product, as if it were very fragile. I assure them that they will not hurt the candy by being aggres- sive. I don’t want them to be afraid of the candy, and you shouldn’t be afraid, either. Most products you make are quite tolerant, and you can stir them hard, slap them, or just generally be rough with them. Don’t be afraid to get your hands a little messy, and don’t worry about making a bit of a mess. Have fun, because you’re in charge. To make a point, when someone observes that I have a spot of chocolate on my face, I dab even more on and ask, “Where, here?” Then I touch another spot withCOPYRIGHTED a big dab and ask, “Or was it here?” MATERIAL Before I finish, I have chocolate all over my face, but the new person is relaxed, confident that I am crazy and not worried about making a mess.

Millions . .~: of Americans own individual tracts of woodland, many have shares in companies that manage forests, and all OWII the public lands managed by government agencies. The forestry profession exists to help all these landowners obtain the benefits they want from forests; but forests have limits.
