This document is intended to get you started doing science at the Demography Department. 1.1 Getting a userid If you don't already have a userid and password, then you'll need to find Carl Mason ([email protected]) and give him a signed Statement of Compliance { which you can download from: http://lab.demog.berkeley.edu/Docs/statementofcompliance.pdf. 1 1.2 Figuring stuff out In addition to this woefully inadequate document, you can find out how to do some things and how not to do others by consulting: 1. The Web. Google for things like \introduction to Unix" or \Unix command line". There are many different flavors of Unix/Linux but the vast majority of commands work the same way on all of them. 2.

In cosmetic products, hydrocarbons from mineral oil origin are used as ingredients in a wide variety of consistency, from liquid oil to solid wax. Refined mineral oil hydrocarbons consist of MOSH (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons) and a low proportion of MOAH (mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons). MOSH and MOAH comprise a variety of chemically similar single substances with straight or branched chains. In the context of precautionary consumer protection, it is crucial to determine hydrocarbons from mineral oil origin of inferior quality quickly and efficiently. /is publication presents a rapid method for quantifying MOAH by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H qNMR) in anhydrous cosmetics such as lipstick, lip gloss, and lip balm.

  • Mosh Research Paper
    Mosh: An Interactive Remote Shell for Mobile Clients Keith Winstein and Hari Balakrishnan M.I.T. Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Cambridge, Mass. fkeithw,[email protected] Abstract Figure 1: Mosh in use. Mosh (mobile shell) is a remote terminal application that supports intermittent connectivity, allows roaming, and speculatively and safely echoes user keystrokes for better interactive response over high-latency paths. Mosh is built on the State Synchronization Protocol (SSP), a new UDP-based protocol that securely synchronizes client and server state, even across changes of the client’s IP address. Mosh uses SSP to synchronize a character- cell terminal emulator, maintaining terminal state at both client and server to predictively echo keystrokes. Our evaluation analyzed keystroke traces from six different users covering a period of 40 hours of real-world us- age. Mosh was able to immediately display the ef- fects of 70% of the user keystrokes. Over a commer- cial EV-DO (3G) network, median keystroke response mote servers feel more like the local computer, because latency with Mosh was less than 5 ms, compared with most keystrokes are reflected immediately on the user’s 503 ms for SSH.

  • Linux: Command Line Interface! October 2018 Presenting
    Computing in Engineering Education presents Bytes && Bites on Linux: Command Line Interface! October 2018 Presenting Keshavamurthy Judit Flo Gaya: Indireshkumar : Systems Administrator Computational Scientist Why are you here? ● Never heard of linux, I love MacOS or Windows! ● Have heard but never used ● Have some idea and want to know a bit more ● Convince me! ● I already used it and want to know more! ● Free food! Why Linux? Where is it used? ● Open Source ● SuperComputers/Clusters ● Backbone of the internet ● Present everywhere! ● Cloud Platforms ● Research Why Linux? Where is it used? ● It is open source (free!) and highly efficient and reliable. ○ If you aren’t happy with some feature, you can change it! ○ You have full control on your computer/device with minimal space ● The top 500 supercomputers in the world are running Linux as of one year ago (https://www.top500.org/statistics/sublist/) ● Linux servers form the backbone of internet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Market_share_by_category) ● It is present everywhere: smartTVs, powering your Android, Kindles, 3D printers ● Cloud platforms (AWS, Google cloud, even Azure) are mostly based on linux for building linux servers, which are much cheaper than their windows counterparts (bonus, azure’s network is linux managed https://www.wired.com/2015/09/microsoft-using-linux-run-cloud/) ● Linux - essential for data science, machine learning, and deep learning. ● Cool home projects (including Internet of Things) with open software; great OS for startups etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7RXsBQjGNM ● MacOS is based on unix (see also: https://www.lifewire.com/mac-os-x-is-not-linux-distribution-2204744) What is Linux? ● An open-source operating system ○ Very similar to Unix, which is not open source (soap opera material).
