  • So Many Date Formats: Which Should You Use? Kamlesh Patel, Jigar Patel, Dilip Patel, Vaishali Patel Rang Technologies Inc, Piscataway, NJ
    Paper – 2463-2017 So Many Date Formats: Which Should You Use? Kamlesh Patel, Jigar Patel, Dilip Patel, Vaishali Patel Rang Technologies Inc, Piscataway, NJ ABSTRACT Nearly all data is associated with some Date information. In many industries, a SAS® programmer comes across various Date formats in data that can be of numeric or character type. An industry like pharmaceuticals requires that dates be shown in ISO 8601 formats due to industry standards. Many SAS programmers commonly use a limited number of Date formats (like YYMMDD10. or DATE9.) with workarounds using scans or substring SAS functions to process date-related data. Another challenge for a programmer can be the source data, which can include either Date-Time or only Date information. How should a programmer convert these dates to the target format? There are many existing Date formats (like E8601 series, B8601 series, and so on) and informants available to convert the source Date to the required Date efficiently. In addition, there are some useful functions that we can explore for deriving timing-related variables. For these methods to be effective, one can use simple tricks to remember those formats. This poster is targeted to those who have a basic understanding of SAS dates. KEYWORDS SAS, date, time, Date-Time, format, informat, ISO 8601, tips, Basic, Extended, Notation APPLICATIONS: SAS v9.2 INTRODUCTION Date and time concept in SAS is very interesting and can be handled very efficiently if SAS programmers know beyond basics of different SAS Date formats and informats along with many different Date functions. There are various formats available to use as per need in SAS.

It is used (often alongside the Gregorian calendar) to date events in many Muslim countries. It is also used by Muslims to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals, such as the annual period of fasting and the proper time for the pilgrimage to Mecca. The Islamic calendar employs the Hijri era whose epoch was Islamic Calendar stamp issued at King retrospectively established as the Islamic New Year of AD 622.

  • Alexander Jones Calendrica I: New Callippic Dates
    ALEXANDER JONES CALENDRICA I: NEW CALLIPPIC DATES aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 129 (2000) 141–158 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 141 CALENDRICA I: NEW CALLIPPIC DATES 1. Introduction. Callippic dates are familiar to students of Greek chronology, even though up to the present they have been known to occur only in a single source, Ptolemy’s Almagest (c. A.D. 150).1 Ptolemy’s Callippic dates appear in the context of discussions of astronomical observations ranging from the early third century B.C. to the third quarter of the second century B.C. In the present article I will present new attestations of Callippic dates which extend the period of the known use of this system by almost two centuries, into the middle of the first century A.D. I also take the opportunity to attempt a fresh examination of what we can deduce about the Callippic calendar and its history, a topic that has lately been the subject of quite divergent treatments. The distinguishing mark of a Callippic date is the specification of the year by a numbered “period according to Callippus” and a year number within that period. Each Callippic period comprised 76 years, and year 1 of Callippic Period 1 began about midsummer of 330 B.C. It is an obvious, and very reasonable, supposition that this convention for counting years was instituted by Callippus, the fourth- century astronomer whose revisions of Eudoxus’ planetary theory are mentioned by Aristotle in Metaphysics Λ 1073b32–38, and who also is prominent among the authorities cited in astronomical weather calendars (parapegmata).2 The point of the cycles is that 76 years contain exactly four so-called Metonic cycles of 19 years.

Abstract phamhuu@jacobs-university. Multi-dimensional arrays (also known as raster data or gridded data) play a key role in de Large-Scale Scientifc many, if not all science and engineering domains where they typically represent spatio- Information Systems temporal sensor, image, simulation output, or statistics “datacubes”. As classic database Research Group, Jacobs technology does not support arrays adequately, such data today are maintained University, Bremen, Germany mostly in silo solutions, with architectures that tend to erode and not keep up with the increasing requirements on performance and service quality. Array Database systems attempt to close this gap by providing declarative query support for fexible ad-hoc analytics on large n-D arrays, similar to what SQL ofers on set-oriented data, XQuery on hierarchical data, and SPARQL and CIPHER on graph data. Today, Petascale Array Database installations exist, employing massive parallelism and distributed processing. Hence, questions arise about technology and standards available, usability, and overall maturity. Several papers have compared models and formalisms, and benchmarks have been undertaken as well, typically comparing two systems against each other. While each of these represent valuable research to the best of our knowledge there is no comprehensive survey combining model, query language, architecture, and practical usability, and performance aspects. The size of this comparison diferentiates our study as well with 19 systems compared, four benchmarked to an extent and depth clearly exceeding previous papers in the feld; for example, subsetting tests were designed in a way that systems cannot be tuned to specifcally these queries.

Name Day Celebration – followers celebrate Saints’ Days, after whom a person is named. This may be a more significant day of celebration than birthdays, particularly for 1st generation migrants. Easter usually falls at a different time in the year to the date celebrated by Western Christianity.

  • Date and Time Terms and Definitions
    Date and Time Terms and Definitions Date and Time Terms and Definitions Brooks Harris Version 35 2016-05-17 Introduction Many documents describing terms and definitions, sometimes referred to as “vocabulary” or “dictionary”, address the topics of timekeeping. This document collects terms from many sources to help unify terminology and to provide a single reference document that can be cited by documents related to date and time. The basic timekeeping definitions are drawn from ISO 8601, its underlying IEC specifications, the BIPM Brochure (The International System of Units (SI)) and BIPM International vocabulary of metrology (VIM). Especially important are the rules and formulas regarding TAI, UTC, and “civil”, or “local”, time. The international standards that describe these fundamental time scales, the rules and procedures of their maintenance, and methods of application are scattered amongst many documents from several standards bodies using various lexicon. This dispersion makes it difficult to arrive at a clear understanding of the underlying principles and application to interoperable implementations. This document collects and consolidates definitions and descriptions from BIPM, IERS, and ITU-R to clarify implementation. There remain unresolved issues in the art and science of timekeeping, especially regarding “time zones” and the politically driven topic of “local time”. This document does not attempt to resolve those dilemmas but describes the terminology and the current state of the art (at the time of publication) to help guide
