A Graphical-User Interface for the U.S. Geological Survey's SUTRA Code U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey A Graphical-User Interface for the U.S. Geological Survey’s SUTRA Code using Argus ONE (for Simulation of Variable-Density Saturated-Unsaturated Ground-Water Flow with Solute or Energy Transport) Open-File Report 97-421 Version of: October 24, 1997 About the cover: The image consists of two projects created with the Argus-SUTRA GUI. The upper project, “SUTRA”, is an irregular SUTRA finite-element mesh in which the spatially-varying values of hydraulic conductivity are represented elementwise by color. The interpolation method is Inverse Distance Squared. The letters were created in the Domain Outline layer, as open islands within the external domain boundary, resulting in holes in the mesh. Mesh density has a higher value (i.e. finer mesh) along the letters than at the external boundary. The lower project, “GUI”, is a constant-density areal transient transport SUTRA simulation, in which the solute concentrations are represented by the colored contours. The mesh is irregular and has a constant density. The letters are regions of very high hydraulic conductivity-1000 times greater than the rest of the domain. Each letter contains one or two points of specified hydraulic head set at a value of 100. Inflowing fluid at these points has a concentration of 100, while the initial background concentration is zero. The upper horizontal boundary of the domain is set to a specified hydraulic head of zero. Thus, the fluid flows from the points of specified head in each letter, through the highly permeable letter, towards the upper model boundary. The high-head points were chosen such that the solute would trace out the shape of each letter in its path towards the outflow boundary. The mesh is colored by the hydraulic conductivity value of each finite element, and the contours are drawn using the postprocessing module of the Argus-SUTRA GUI.

  • Command Line Interface Specification Windows
    Command Line Interface Specification Windows Online Backup Client version 4.3.x 1. Introduction The CloudBackup Command Line Interface (CLI for short) makes it possible to access the CloudBackup Client software from the command line. The following actions are implemented: backup, delete, dir en restore. These actions are described in more detail in the following paragraphs. For all actions applies that a successful action is indicated by means of exit code 0. In all other cases a status code of 1 will be used. 2. Configuration The command line client needs a configuration file. This configuration file may have the same layout as the configuration file for the full CloudBackup client. This configuration file is expected to reside in one of the following folders: CLI installation location or the settings folder in the CLI installation location. The name of the configuration file must be: Settings.xml. Example: if the CLI is installed in C:\Windows\MyBackup\, the configuration file may be in one of the two following locations: C:\Windows\MyBackup\Settings.xml C:\Windows\MyBackup\Settings\Settings.xml If both are present, the first form has precedence. Also the customer needs to edit the CloudBackup.Console.exe.config file which is located in the program file directory and edit the following line: 1 <add key="SettingsFolder" value="%settingsfilelocation%" /> After making these changes the customer can use the CLI instruction to make backups and restore data. 2.1 Configuration Error Handling If an error is found in the configuration file, the command line client will issue an error message describing which value or setting or option is causing the error and terminate with an exit value of 1.

  • Dealing with Document Size Limits
    Dealing with Document Size Limits Introduction The Electronic Case Filing system will not accept PDF documents larger than ten megabytes (MB). If the document size is less than 10 MB, it can be filed electronically just as it is. If it is larger than 10 MB, it will need to be divided into two or more documents, with each document being less than 10 MB. Word Processing Documents Documents created with a word processing program (such as WordPerfect or Microsoft Word) and correctly converted to PDF will generally be smaller than a scanned document. Because of variances in software, usage, and content, it is difficult to estimate the number of pages that would constitute 10 MB. (Note: See “Verifying File Size” below and for larger documents, see “Splitting PDF Documents into Multiple Documents” below.) Scanned Documents Although the judges’ Filing Preferences indicate a preference for conversion of documents rather than scanning, it will be necessary to scan some documents for filing, e.g., evidentiary attachments must be scanned. Here are some things to remember: • Documents scanned to PDF are generally much larger than those converted through a word processor. • While embedded fonts may be necessary for special situations, e.g., trademark, they will increase the file size. • If graphs or color photos are included, just a few pages can easily exceed the 10 MB limit. Here are some guidelines: • The court’s standard scanner resolution is 300 dots per inch (DPI). Avoid using higher resolutions as this will create much larger file sizes. • Normally, the output should be set to black and white.

  • Linux-PATH.Pdf
    http://www.linfo.org/path_env_var.html PATH Definition PATH is an environmental variable in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems that tells the shell which directories to search for executable files (i.e., ready-to-run programs ) in response to commands issued by a user. It increases both the convenience and the safety of such operating systems and is widely considered to be the single most important environmental variable. Environmental variables are a class of variables (i.e., items whose values can be changed) that tell the shell how to behave as the user works at the command line (i.e., in a text-only mode) or with shell scripts (i.e., short programs written in a shell programming language). A shell is a program that provides the traditional, text-only user interface for Unix-like operating systems; its primary function is to read commands that are typed in at the command line and then execute (i.e., run) them. PATH (which is written with all upper case letters) should not be confused with the term path (lower case letters). The latter is a file's or directory's address on a filesystem (i.e., the hierarchy of directories and files that is used to organize information stored on a computer ). A relative path is an address relative to the current directory (i.e., the directory in which a user is currently working). An absolute path (also called a full path ) is an address relative to the root directory (i.e., the directory at the very top of the filesystem and which contains all other directories and files).

  • Visual Validation of SSL Certificates in the Mozilla Browser Using Hash Images
    CS Senior Honors Thesis: Visual Validation of SSL Certificates in the Mozilla Browser using Hash Images Hongxian Evelyn Tay [email protected] School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Advisor: Professor Adrian Perrig Electrical & Computer Engineering Engineering & Public Policy School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Monday, May 03, 2004 Abstract Many internet transactions nowadays require some form of authentication from the server for security purposes. Most browsers are presented with a certificate coming from the other end of the connection, which is then validated against root certificates installed in the browser, thus establishing the server identity in a secure connection. However, an adversary can install his own root certificate in the browser and fool the client into thinking that he is connected to the correct server. Unless the client checks the certificate public key or fingerprint, he would never know if he is connected to a malicious server. These alphanumeric strings are hard to read and verify against, so most people do not take extra precautions to check. My thesis is to implement an additional process in server authentication on a browser, using human recognizable images. The process, Hash Visualization, produces unique images that are easily distinguishable and validated. Using a hash algorithm, a unique image is generated using the fingerprint of the certificate. Images are easily recognizable and the user can identify the unique image normally seen during a secure AND accurate connection. By making a visual comparison, the origin of the root certificate is known. 1. Introduction: The Problem 1.1 SSL Security The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Protocol has improved the state of web security in many Internet transactions, but its complexity and neglect of human factors has exposed several loopholes in security systems that use it.
