![]() Most damningly Desperate Scousewives suggested that the cast of Jersey Shore might deserve their ill-gotten fortunes, as, despite being awful, useless human beings, they do at least understand how to perform for the cameras. So terrible were they that they in fact made Tyrone and Salina from last week's Hot Like Us look like witty, debonair conversationalists, or the cast of Made in Chelsea look talented, or The Only Way is Essex bunch look like interesting people you'd want to spend time with. Other than 'journalist' Elissa, who was the only one capable of pulling off a recognisable emotion, the cast were uniformly terrible. Even worse was her nemesis, self-proclaimed 'Britain's bitchiest blogger' Jaiden, whose outpourings I unfortunately stumbled across when trying to find evidence that these were in fact real people (I'm still not wholly convinced – but then, judging how lazy the show itself was, I doubt the programme makers would have bothered to create online personas for its 'stars') his 'blog' just being reams of fawning, poorly written, mind-numbingly tedious content that read like postings on the Digital Spy user forums (see Jaiden, that's how you do bitchy blogging). ![]() ![]() Instead of that, we were presented with the likes of on-off couple Joe and Layla and 'only famous in Liverpool' Amanda, who, much like the cast of Hot Like Us, felt compelled to tell us how hard her life as a model is, what with all the work she's had to do for free (you should try being an aspiring pop-culture writer in this day and age luv). To be honest, calling the cast of Desperate Scousewives 'characters' seems like giving the programme more credit than its due, as it would imply that they had actually been instilled with any sense of personality (the appeal of 'structured reality' for programme-makers seems pretty clear – there's no need to put the effort into creating believable characters as you would in a drama, nor do you have to worry about the documentarian's concerns of catching the right moment, or of the ethics of what you're filming, as you can just manipulate and fake your way through the whole thing). And just in case you didn't get the message, throughout the episode the characters went on and on about “The Style Awards”, which the producers assured us was in fact 'a real thing that people care about' by filming Ricky Tomlinson from The Royle Family sitting at a table for a couple of seconds. Things were off to a loser from the start with the opening narration by plucky, yet spectacularly dim Jodie (on being introduced to a couple of male hairdressers who were camp even by gay male hairdresser standards, she felt the need to ask them “Are you brothers?”), desperately trying to convince us just how stylish everything and everyone in Liverpool is. The latest in this most irritating of televisual sub-genres is Desperate Scousewives (Monday, E4) and somehow, the least infuriating thing about is that the producers clearly thought of the title before the rest of the show, and then didn't even bother to make the programme fit it (other than the cast being Scouse, and they were quite possibly desperate for agreeing to appear in the show in the first place I suppose). But, with each new 'structured reality' show that makes its way onto our screens, the more I start to think that they may have a point. ![]() People who, whenever the subject of TV programmes comes up, feel the need to proudly declare “I don't even own a television” are the worst kind of people (and they've managed to make The Guardian's comments section largely unreadable). ![]()

![]() The output profile of single mode laser beam may have a Gaussian intensity profile and the diffraction equation can be used to show that it maintains that profile however far away it propagates from the source. This technique can be used in a process called apodization-the aperture is covered by a Gaussian filter, giving a diffraction pattern with no secondary rings. The form of the function is plotted on the right, and it can be seen that, unlike the diffraction patterns produced by rectangular or circular apertures, it has no secondary rings. The diffraction pattern obtained given by an aperture with a Gaussian profile, for example, a photographic slide whose transmissivity has a Gaussian variation is also a Gaussian function. The Airy disk can be an important parameter in limiting the ability of an imaging system to resolve closely located objects.ĭiffraction by an aperture with a Gaussian profile Intensity of a plane wave diffracted through an aperture with a Gaussian profile Strictly speaking, the Fraunhofer approximation only applies when the diffracted pattern is viewed at infinity, but in practice it can be applied in the far field, and also in the focal plane of a positive lens.įar field Fraunhofer diffraction occurs when: The phase of the contributions of the individual wavelets in the aperture varies linearly with position in the aperture, making the calculation of the sum of the contributions relatively straightforward in many cases. In this case, the incident light is a plane wave so that the phase of the light at each point in the aperture is the same. The Fraunhofer diffraction equation is a simplified version of the Kirchhoff's diffraction formula and it can be used to model the light diffracted when both the light source and the viewing plane are effectively at infinity with respect to the diffracting aperture. Generally, a two-dimensional integral over complex variables has to be solved and in many cases, an analytic solution is not available. When two waves are added together, the total displacement depends on both the amplitude and the phase of the individual waves: two waves of equal amplitude which are in phase give a displacement whose amplitude is double the individual wave amplitudes, while two waves which are in opposite phases give a zero displacement. It is not a straightforward matter to calculate the displacement given by the sum of the secondary wavelets, each of which has its own amplitude and phase, since this involves addition of many waves of varying phase and amplitude. Fresnel developed an equation using the Huygens wavelets together with the principle of superposition of waves, which models these diffraction effects quite well. Huygens postulated that every point on a primary wavefront acts as a source of spherical secondary wavelets and the sum of these secondary waves determines the form of the wave at any subsequent time. These effects can be modelled using the Huygens–Fresnel principle. When a beam of light is partly blocked by an obstacle, some of the light is scattered around the object, and light and dark bands are often seen at the edge of the shadow – this effect is known as diffraction.
![]() The resulting structure is shown in the lower half of Figure 9.1. ![]() The non-sway frame may be converted into a sway frame by removing the horizontal restraint at point C (converting the pin into a roller). ![]() In contrast, a sway frame is a structure where any of the joints can translate or displace. all nodes remain at the same points in space), then this top structure shown in Figure 9.1 is considered to be a non-sway frame. Since there are only rotational DOFs in this structure, and no translational DOFs (i.e. The same rotation is applied to the ends of both members that frame into node E (BE and DE). It can rotate, and will have a rotation of $\theta_E$ as shown in the figure. Node E cannot translate vertically due to the restraint provided by member BE which is restrained vertically by the fixed end at node B. (Total free DOFs = 1) Node E cannot translate horizontally due to the restraint provided by member DE which is restrained horizontally by member CD which is restrained horizontally by the pin at point C. The same rotation is applied to the ends of all three members that frame into node D (AD, CD, and DE). It can rotate, and will have a rotation of $\theta_D$ as shown in the figure. Node D cannot translate vertically due to the restraint provided by member AD which is restrained vertically by the fixed end at node A. (Total free DOFs = 1) Node D cannot translate horizontally due to the restraint provided by member CD which is restrained horizontally by the pin at point C (recall that we are considering the frame members to be rigid axially). It can rotate, and will have a rotation of $\theta_C$ as shown in the figure. (Total free DOFs = 0) Node C cannot translate (displace) either horizontally or vertically because of the pin at that location. In this frame structure, we can look at each node individually to evaluate the total number of degrees of freedom in our system: Nodes A and B cannot translate (displace) horizontally or vertically and cannot rotate because of the fixed end supports at those locations. By making this assumption, we reduce the number of effective DOFs in the slope-deflection analysis and, therefore, reduce the number of equations in the system of equations that we have to solve.Ī simple example is shown at the top of Figure 9.1 (labelled 'Non-Sway Frame'). This is usually a good assumption for beam and frame analysis since the structural deformations are mostly caused by bending of frame elements, not axial elongation. ![]() we assume that the beams cannot elongate or compress). In a slope-deflection method analysis, we will typically make the assumption that all frame members are axially rigid for the purpose of determining the number of degrees of freedom in the system (i.e. Although three DOFs are possible for each node, individual directions may be considered to be restrained, either by a support reaction or by one of the members connected to the node. ![]() Usually, we consider the horizontal and vertical axes as the two perpendicular translational degrees-of-freedom. In a 2D system, each node has three possible degrees-of-freedom: translation (movement) in one direction, translation in another direction perpendicular to the first one, and rotation. This concept was previously briefly introduced in Section 1.5. Although the elements have deformations between the nodes, we can, using structural analysis methods, characterize the behaviour and deformation of the structure based on the deformations at the nodes alone.Ī degree-of-freedom (or DOF) represents a single direction that a node is permitted to move or rotate. When doing structural analysis, we often conceptualize a real structure as a simplified stick model with elements connected to each other at specific locations called nodes. >When you're done reading this section, check your understanding with the interactive quiz at the bottom of the page. ![]() ![]() ![]() Make sure sweet, sticky nectar doesn't spill when you fill and hang a feeder. If you keep the nectar level below the top of the reservoir, most bees can't get to the nectar, but hummingbirds can reach it with their long tongues. However, I've had very small bees enter the reservoir through the ports. Saucer feeders are more drip-proof because the feeding port openings are above the top level of the liquid. Hang these feeders in cool shade and in places protected from wind, another cause of feeder leaks. ![]() Those little yellow bee guards won't solve this problem. Nectar may drip into plastic flowers and accumulate on the outside of the feeder. Or on hot summer days, as temperatures rise, air above the liquid in the tops of these vacuum feeders expands and pushes the nectar out the feeding ports. They may leak where the bottle screws into the base. Some inverted bottle designs are more likely to leak than saucer feeders. Inverted bottle feeders have upside-down bottles or reservoirs that hold the sugar solution elevated above feeding ports below.įlying-saucer-shaped basin feeders have reservoirs that hold the sugar solution underneath feeding ports overhead in a removable lid or cover. There are two general designs for hummingbird feeders. Leaky feeders and spilled nectar are usually to blame for bee problems. You can discourage bees at hummingbird feeders once you understand how bees get to the sugary nectar solution in your feeders. ![]() Beekeeper Jerry Shonk of Seymour thinks it's possible there's a temporary mid-summer decline in the abundance of nectar-rich bee flowers now that the white Dutch clover blooming period is coming to an end. They're just looking for flower nectar - and maybe extra water in the heat of summer. Bees are swamping lots of hummingbird feeders and driving the hummers away.ĭon't blame the bees.
