![]() Typically solar batteries are sized to cover your energy usage for one night and recharge from solar during the day, completing one charge / discharge cycle over a 24 hour period. Off-grid solar systems use deep cycle batteries, which are designed to be discharged and recharged gradually. You can draw power from your battery bank to run your appliances at any time. The centerpiece of off-grid solar systems. In terms of performance, mono and poly solar panels will produce power equally well, but an array of poly panels would take up more room on your property. Mono solar panels cost a bit more than poly panels, because their increased efficiency allows you to fit more solar in a smaller space. They are slightly more efficient than polycrystalline (poly) solar panels, which contain cells made of blended fragments of silicon. Monocrystalline (mono) solar panels are cut from a single section of silicon. The difference is that 120-cell panels utilize half-cut cells, which are slightly more efficient and resistant to failure.ħ2-cell and 144-cell solar panels are about 3.5 feet by 6.5 feet, with 144-cell panels using half-cut cells as well.Ħ0/120-cell panels are easier to carry and offer more flexible design options, while 72/144-cell panels cost less to install. Common solar panel sizes:īoth 60-cell and 120-cell solar panels are about 3.5 feet by 5.5 feet. Any traditional 60/120 or 72/144 cell solar panel will work just fine, and if you have space on your property to mount full-sized panels, that will be your most cost-effective option. Now, MPPT charge controllers allow us to make use of standard, mass-produced solar panels in off-grid applications. Nowadays when a panel is marketed as "off-grid" it often means that the wattage is lower than the current standard, and many of the panels marketed this way tend to be of inferior quality. There used to be panels that were designed to match the lower voltages of specific types of charge controllers and battery banks, but the technology has improved enough that the design standard has become outdated. While you may find that some panels are marketed as “off-grid solar panels,” this is a bit of a misnomer. Solar panels absorb the sun’s rays, converting sunlight into DC (direct current) power. For example, most grid-tie inverters are not configured to connect to a battery bank. It’s important to pick components specifically rated for off-grid use. Here’s a quick overview of the parts you can expect to find in your off-grid solar system.

![]() Although tactical methods intended for a general war in Europe were often not applicable to combat operations in South Vietnam, the American movement toward a more dispersed battlefield in the 1950s proved to be a fortunate development.īy the early 1960s, major advances had been made in tactical communications, and when this was coupled with the great mobility of the helicopter, larger unit commanders were able to control their subordinate units in a fashion heretofore impossible. Consequently, tactical methods were usually very different from those previously envisioned for a limited war, especially one similar to the Korean Conflict. Following the arrival of the 173d Airborne Brigade in May 1965, American tactical operations concentrated on defeating or destroying the enemy within, an area rather than capturing terrain features or conventional objectives. Military operations were thus an inherent part of the pacification effort even though their contribution to the pacification effort was often not immediately apparent at the local or village level.127įrom the moment the US Marines first entered South Vietnam in March 1965, the war was characterized by its nonlinear and multidirectional nature. ![]() Such operations theoretically enabled the government of South Vietnam to extend its control over the people within an area. Tactical operations within the mobile defense were predominately offensive, for the essential idea was to find and destroy the enemy. The strategy sought to defeat the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and Vietcong (VC) forces and to permit the people of South Vietnam to manage their own affairs. This responsibility continued to increase until the last US ground troops withdrew in August 1972.īecause of strategic and political considerations, the ground strategy remained that of a gigantic mobile defense. In late 1968, South Vietnamese units began assuming an increasing responsibility for military operations. During the intervening period, South Vietnamese troops emphasized pacification duties while US units carried the brunt of the major fighting. The focus on combat action was especially true from the middle of 1966 when US forces launched their first prolonged offensive, through late 1968 when 'Vietnamization' of the war began in earnest. Doughty, Combat Studies Institute, August 1979)ĪLTHOUGH the United States contended that counterinsurgency operations should be combated through a combination of military operations and social reform, the demands of tactical operations in the Vietnam War remained the most important concern of the US Army.

This is part of the reason why it is good to win the bid. 1 pt.You'll notice that some of your meld score is dependent on which suit is trump. (I only break it out as a separate piece of meld because some people score a double pinochle as 30 pts.)9 of trump. 4pts.Double Pinochle - both Js of diamonds and both Qs of spades. 4 pts.Roundhouse (Marriages around) - Ks and Qs from each suit - 25 pts.Pinochle - J of diamonds and Q of spades. 2 pts.Royal Marriage - K and Q of the trump suit. 4 pts.Marriage - K and Q of the same suit. 6 pts.Jacks Around - One J from each suit. 8 pts.Queens Around - One Q from each suit. 10 pts.Kings Around - one K from each suit. 15 pts.Aces Around - one A from each suit. Here's how scoring goes in a single-deck game in our family.Run - A, 10, K, Q, J of the trump suit. As I said scoring varies widely depending on how a person was taught to play. ![]() At the end the meld is put back into your hand for use during trick play. Meld basically involves putting certain cards or card combinations on the table for scoring purposes. Whoever took the bid names a trump suit and that determines what meld can be shown. It's not easy to explain, especially through a message board.MeldAfter bidding comes meld. Bidding can be a complex ritual with lots of signals and such. Scoring at the end of the hand will be the addition of both partners together. Also, if you pass your first bid, you cannot get back into the bidding later. This is why it is so important to bid if you have a good hand. Whoever has the highest bid gets to name trump for the hand. So if there's a bidding war, your first bid is usually as low as possible and your second bid has to be as big as you think you and your partner can make. ![]() Also, if actual bidding takes place, a player can only bid twice. If no one bids by the time it gets back around to the dealer, it gets dropped on the dealer for 20. Partners obviously don't want to bid against each other, but it happens sometimes. Anyone choosing to bid afterwards has to beat the previous bid. The first player to bid has to start at least 20. BiddingBidding starts with the player to the dealer's left. So you always have an opponent between you. And partners sit opposite one another at the table. The deal also moves to the left after each hand. And it's good to play a practice hand or two to get the concepts down.The common game 4-handed game goes like this:DealingCards are dealt 3 at a time starting at the dealer's left and going around. The 10 for whatever reason is the second strongest card in a suit behind the A.I'll try to explain the rules, but this is very long and is best done with a deck of cards to use as a visual aide. And the order I just put them in is the order of strength. The most common variations come from scoring or playing doubledeck.For those that don't know a Pinochle deck is 48 cards. Common ways of playing are 3-handed (cut throat) or 4-handed (partners). Everytime there are at least 3 of us together there is a Pinochle game going. I've been playing Pinochle fairly regulary for about 15 years. No variation of Pinochle that I know involves shooting the moon. Also any advice on learning the game would be good too. I was wondering if anyone knew of a website that would be useful to a Pinochle novice such as myself. So I'd like to ask the Ars collective if they knew anything about Pinochle.There was talk in the directions of melds, point systems, and all kinds of crazy stuff. It seems like one of those games that someone else would have to teach you. As I read further and further though, the directions seemed like they were written in Chinese. Well I read the basic rules and it seemed similar in some aspects to Euchre. I had never played Pinochle before so I didn't realize that the deck wouldn't have any cards under nine in it. Well when I got home, I realized that I had bought a Bicycle Pinochle deck of cards. I had a deck of old cards I used to play poker with, but it's all old and nasty, so I set out to get myself a new deck.Now I always remember Bicycle cards being some of the most well-made cards I had ever used so when I was at a local gas station I picked up a pack of Bicycle playing cards. I recently got into the card game Euchre. Ok this is going to sound bad, er well probably. ![]() While using a portable router will incur an upfront fee and an additional charge for internet access, there are plenty of service providers from which you can rent them - and often at a reasonable rate. Like your smartphone, these require inserting a SIM card for connectivity. These generally allow up to 10 devices to access the internet. Whether your phone is not hotspot-enabled or your data plan is not sufficient for your needs, an alternative is to purchase a portable router. If there is an area where you’ll be regularly using this function, consider plugging in a wireless charger at that location as a matter of convenience. For this reason, it’s smart to have a battery or charger handy for prolonged hotspot use. On the other hand, if you have an unlimited plan, you’ll be able to stream and download videos, music, and games much more freely with a variety of devices.Ī final limitation of Wi-Fi hotspots to consider is that they can increase your phone’s battery consumption. ![]() Further, if you only have a few gigabytes of data each month, you’ll find that creating a Wi-Fi hotspot for multiple devices to use may drain your data allotment fairly quickly. Some carriers may require an additional fee each month for the ability to create mobile hotspots. Keep in mind that your ability to set up and use a Wi-Fi hotspot effectively will depend on your service plan - particularly in regard to data allowance. This will “scramble” any data sent or received from devices on the network, protecting that information from potential fraudsters. Take a moment to enable WPA2 encryption in your settings, if it is not enabled by default. You can customize your hotspot’s name and password to help prevent this. Hackers can use tools to automatically detect and attempt to enter networks with common SSIDs. To keep unauthorized individuals from accessing your hotspot, you’ll need to follow a couple of security best practices:īe sure to change your hotspot’s SSID and password! The above instructions allow you to start a hotspot with your phone’s default settings, but these are not ideal for security. Other devices will be able to connect to the hotspot by selecting your device name and entering this password. On Samsung devices, for example, you’ll need to navigate to “Connections,” then “Mobile Hotspot and Tethering.” On Google Pixels, you must go to “Network & Internet,” then “Hotspot & Tethering.” After turning the hotspot on, you’ll be given a Wi-Fi password. Go to Settings, then look for a menu for networks or connections. On Android devices, the process can differ a little depending on your phone’s model. Other devices will be able to connect to your phone via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth under the name of the phone, and they’ll need this password to access the hotspot. Once you do, you’ll be given a Wi-Fi password. On iOS devices, go to Settings, then toggle “Personal Hotspot” on. The process to set up a personal hotspot depends on the type of phone you have: These are called Wi-Fi hotspots, and they can be indispensable when you need to access the internet with other devices. Most smartphones can be turned into an internet access point that your other devices, such as tablets or other phones, can connect to. Turn your smartphone into a Wi-Fi hotspot. ![]() In the meantime, how can you get Wi-Fi access on the go? This guide will provide information on the various ways and tools you can use to access the internet, no matter where your travels take you. Most new phone owners quickly learn that Wi-Fi is preferable when it comes to conserving your data, but did you know that you can access the internet via Wi-Fi practically anywhere you go? In fact, we may be approaching a future in which universal Wi-Fi connects all mobile device users from around the world. įurthermore, elevation of plasma viscosity correlates to the progression of coronary and peripheral artery diseases. Many conventional cardiovascular risk factors have been independently linked to whole blood viscosity.Ĭardiovascular risk factors linked independently to whole blood viscosity Īnemia can reduce blood viscosity, which may lead to heart failure. This is particularly important in hypothermia, where an increase in blood viscosity will cause problems with blood circulation. Other factors influencing blood viscosity include temperature, where an increase in temperature results in a decrease in viscosity. This will lead to decreased oxygen delivery. When the hematocrit rises to 60 or 70%, which it often does in polycythemia, the blood viscosity can become as great as 10 times that of water, and its flow through blood vessels is greatly retarded because of increased resistance to flow. This relationship becomes increasingly sensitive as hematocrit increases. One unit increase in hematocrit can cause up to a 4% increase in blood viscosity. Nevertheless, hematocrit has the strongest impact on whole blood viscosity. Plasma's viscosity is determined by water-content and macromolecular components, so these factors that affect blood viscosity are the plasma protein concentration and types of proteins in the plasma. The primary determinants of blood viscosity are hematocrit, red blood cell deformability, red blood cell aggregation, and plasma viscosity. These functions of the cardiovascular system are directly related to vascular resistance, preload, afterload, and perfusion, respectively. This biophysical property makes it a critical determinant of friction against the vessel walls, the rate of venous return, the work required for the heart to pump blood, and how much oxygen is transported to tissues and organs. It can also be described as the thickness and stickiness of blood. ![]() Blood viscosity also increases with increases in red cell aggregability.īlood viscosity is a measure of the resistance of blood to flow. Contrarily, blood viscosity increases when shear rate goes down with increased vessel diameters or with low flow, such as downstream from an obstruction or in diastole. Therefore, blood is a shear-thinning fluid. Blood becomes less viscous at high shear rates like those experienced with increased flow such as during exercise or in peak- systole. As such, the viscosity of blood varies with shear rate. Because of that, blood behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid. Red blood cells have unique mechanical behavior, which can be discussed under the terms erythrocyte deformability and erythrocyte aggregation. ![]() Blood viscosity is determined by plasma viscosity, hematocrit (volume fraction of red blood cell, which constitute 99.9% of the cellular elements) and mechanical properties of red blood cells. Alterations of these properties play significant roles in disease processes. Proper tissue perfusion can occur only when blood's rheological properties are within certain levels. Hemorheology, also spelled haemorheology (from Greek ‘αἷμα, haima ' blood' and rheology, from Greek ῥέω rhéō, ' flow' and -λoγία, -logia 'study of'), or blood rheology, is the study of flow properties of blood and its elements of plasma and cells.
