![]() Kobo's new waterproof Clara 2E e-reader takes on Kindle There’s also a new Recently Viewed list that shows ebooks you’ve recently viewed in the Kobo store. Support for three additional languages was added to the interface as well, Czech, Polish, and Romanian. They also added a couple of new font choices that were designed for digital reading, Rakuten Sans and Rakuten Serif. The update added a pinch-zooming gesture to adjust font size, and now this new update adds another handy gesture that lets you quickly access the last three recently read books by swiping down from the top of the screen. Kobo has released another software update for their line of Kobo ereaders, and it’s available for all models dating back to the original Kobo Touch (except, as always, the neglected Kobo Mini). New Kobo software update added a pinch-zooming gesture Both of these e-readers are available worldwide from the Good e-Reader Store.2022. The variance of the cases are more pronounced, there are 4 different color options available, but the Forma just has one. The Libra is $100 dollars cheaper and does a good job with reading ebooks and comes in two colors, black and white. What model should you buy? During our comparison video the Forma provides a better experience for reading PDF files, manga or comics. The Libra has a few new e-reading features, but nothing really breaktaking, you can checkout our review for a full breakdown. They both have Pocket, Overdrive and access to the Kobo bookstore. On the software side of things, most of the options and UI is similar. Choosing the right storage option is important, because the Forma does not have expandable storage via an SD card. The Forma is using the same processor and RAM, but it has two different storage models 8GB and 32GB. It is also waterproof, whereas the bigger brother is not. ![]() The Libra is powered by a Freescale Solo Lite 1GHZ processor, 8GB of internal storage and 512 MB of RAM. The Libra has 19 LED lights, 10 white 9 Amber, while the Forma has 17 lights, 10 white, 7 amber. They can also be used independently of each other, or shut off completely. The white and amber LED lights can be used at the same time, with a slider bar in the drop down menu. This is great for long reading sessions, because the light is not shining into your eyes. They are using white and amber LED lights on the bottom of the screen and they project light upwards and evenly across the screen. Kobo has incorporated a front-lit screen and their patented Comfortlight screen technology in all of their modern e-readers. Not only would it ensure the e-reader was as close to weightless as they could make it, it would offer incredible durability. A lot of work had to be done to make sure that it would look perfect for demanding e-reading fans, but when it was all done, Kobo came out with something remarkable. Mobius removes the glass from E Ink and replaces it with two sheets of plastic polymer. Many e-readers are using Carta HD or Mobius for the screens, but Kobo is using both. The Kobo Forma has a giant 8 inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 1440 × 1920 and 300 PPI. This is ideal for left or right handed people. The body of made of plastic and has two manual page turn buttons and both models have a gyroscope to control the orientation. I find that plastic based screens that has a small dip, offer better resolution. The screen is not flush with the bezel, instead it has a small recess. The Libra features a 7 inch E Ink Carta HD display with a resolution of 1,680 x 1,264 and 300 PPI. Although they both look the same, there are MANY differences between the two models. This device borrows the same asymmetrical design from the larger Kobo Forma. The Kobo Libra is the latest generation e-reader and it is going to be available in a week or two.

![]() The second advantage of 29+ tyres is the small bump sensitivity that can be achieved by running the voluminous tyres at lower pressures. Firstly, with a bigger contact patch you’ve got more grip on the ground in virtually any condition than a goanna scaling a tree. There have only ever been one other 29+ bike make its way to the masses, we reviewed the Surly Krampus a few years ago, while we loved its endless traction it was hard work to manoeuvre through any form of a tight corner and was a boat to try and rip through singletrack.Īn increased contact patch is beneficial in two main ways. 29+ wheels are huge, too big to fit into a normal shaped frame, hence the wildly asymmetrical rear end of the bike and its elevated chainstay arrangement. Not sure what we are talking about? Here, have a read of this if you’d like to know what a plus-size bike is all about.Įssentially, Trek developed the Stache around 29+ wheels due to the increased contact patch of the tyre when compared to 27.5+, but it wasn’t going to be so simple. When Trek decided to create a bike in the ‘plus hardtail’ category, they developed the Stache from the ground up using 29″ diameter wheels, instead of jumping on the existing 27.5+ wheel (27.5″ diameter with 2.8-3″ tyres) size bandwagon.

The prevalence of information and communication technology (ICT) has considerably converted the means of/for publication and circulation, as well as transforming academia and English pedagogy. All mentioned indicate possible reasons of higher rates of research misconduct among Croatian scientists in comparison with scientists in highly developed countries. Finally, Croatian scientists are not formally educated about responsible conduct of research at any level of their formal education. Scientists do not trust ethical bodies and the system for defining and regulating research misconduct therefore the observed cases of research misconduct are rarely reported. At the University of Rijeka there is no document dedicated exclusively to research integrity, describing the values that should be fostered by a scientist and clarifying the forms of research misconduct and what constitutes a questionable research practice. The results of our study indicate that the efficacy of the system for managing research misconduct in Croatia is poor. Based on the respondents who admitted having observed research misconduct of fellow scientists, 72 (30.4%) observed plagiarism, 69 (29.1%) observed data falsification, 46 (19.4%) observed data fabrication, and 132 (55.7%) respondents admitted having observed violation of the authorship rules. Based on the respondents who admitted having committed research misconduct, 9 (3.8%) admitted to plagiarism, 22 (9.3%) to data falsification, 9 (3.8%) to data fabrication, and 60 (25.3%) respondents admitted to violation of authorship rules. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed among 1,232 Croatian scientists at the University of Rijeka in 2012/2013 and 237 (19.2%) returned the survey. Additionally, we sought to determine the degree of development and the extent of implementation of the system for defining and regulating research misconduct in a typical scientific community in Croatia. The primary aim of this study was to determine the rates at which scientists report committing or observing the most serious forms of research misconduct, such as falsification, fabrication, plagiarism, and violation of authorship rules in the Croatian scientific community. In moderately or poorly developed countries such as Croatia, data on research misconduct are scarce. The prevalence and characteristics of research misconduct have mainly been studied in highly developed countries. ![]() Plan and program to educate students about academic integrity and research methodology is required on all educational level. ![]() They are lacking knowledge on scienti c methodology, academic and scienti c misconduct. Conclusion: Students' attitudes re ect insu cient level of seriousness and awareness with which plagiarism is perceived. Plagiarism is perceived as not very important (63% of students), harmless (59%), justi ed under special circumstances (42%), and sometimes necessary (35%). Results: Results revealed moderate positive attitude (36 ± 7) and subjective norms (32 ± 6) toward plagiarism and moderate to high negative attitude (26 ± 4). Score range expends from 12 to 60 (low: 12-28 moderate: 29-45 high: 46-60) measuring positive attitude toward plagiarism, from 7 to 35 (low: 7-16 moderate: 17-26 high: 27-35) measuring negative attitude toward plagiarism and from 10 to 50 (low: 10-23 moderate: 24-37 high: 38-50) measuring subjective norms. Results were presented as score (mean ± SD) followed by reference range (divided in three equal parts: low, moderate and high score). The questionnaire is composed of 29 statements on a 5 point Likert scale, (1 – strongly disagree, 2 – disagree, 3 – neither agree nor disagree, 4 – agree and 5 – strongly agree) measuring three attitudinal factors (positive and negative attitude and subjective norms) toward plagiarism. Materials and methods: First year students of Faculty of Pharmacy and Medical Biochemistry, University of Zagreb, Croatia (N = 146) were anonymously tested using Attitude toward Plagiarism (ATP) questionnaire. The cross-sectional survey study was done with aim to explore the attitudes toward plagiarism. Introduction: Plagiarism is one of the most frequent and serious forms of misconduct in academic environment. ![]() Thanks to Fran Sancisco for the suggestion.Command 'thefuck' not found, but can be installed with: It is a great terminal, but I prefer open source software. There is also the Warp terminal, but it is not open source. You could also use Zellij, a modern terminal multiplexer written in Rust, with Alacritty. ![]() There is an excellent tutorial on using Alacritty with tmux. I use Alacrity when I need speed and GPU acceleration. We can get most of those features (tabs, split panes, dropdown mode) using tmux and tdrop if really needed. I don't use it as my primary terminal as I love Yakuake too much for all its cool features. It doesn't have much in terms of a UI, and hence all configurations are done through YAML files. You can use it on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It is GPU accelerated, super fast, and highly configurable. Alacritty is a cross-platform modern terminal emulator with sensible defaults. If you have Cargo, the rust package manager, you can install all these using Cargo. I recommend aliasing the commands to replace the standard commands based on your preferences. I have not tested them on Windows, but most should also work on Windows. These tools are available for both Linux and macOS. You can also use these to supercharge your terminal. In this post, I will cover some of the best Rust command line tools I have used for a while. They are faster, more user-friendly, and have more features than their standard Unix counterparts. Recently there has been a surge of command line tools and utilities written in Rust, and many of them are intended to replace standard Unix commands. ![]() It is used to build everything from operating systems to web servers to command-line tools. It is the fastest-growing and most loved programming language in the world. Rust is a general-purpose programming language that is blazing fast and memory safe.
Text labels repel away from each other, away from data points, and away from edges of the. Scatter plots are often used when you want to assess the relationship (or lack of relationship) between the two variables being plotted. How do I get the graph to ignore the zero. A function can be created from a formula (e.g. ggrepel provides geoms for ggplot2 to repel overlapping text labels. A scatter plot is a two-dimensional data visualization that uses points to graph the values of two different variables one along the x-axis and the other along the y-axis. The graphs link off these tables and show drops to zero on these occurences. The return value must be a ame, and will be used as the layer data. Instead, we can take advantage of the fact that the data= argument can take a function to pre-process that plot data before plotting:Ī function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. See the page ggplot tips for suggestions and advanced techniques to make your plots really look nice. In this page we will cover the fundamentals of plotting with ggplot2. However, that gets ugly fast (did I clean the outliers in all the datasets for this plot?). Using ggplot2 generally requires the user to format their data in a way that is highly tidyverse compatible, which ultimately makes using these packages together very effective. ![]() The following example illustrates the three cases: Removing points. ![]() No marker will be drawn where either x or y are masked and, if plotting with a line, it will be broken there. We might be tempted to pre-process some data in some way and pass it to each layer via the data= argument in geom_point/smooth. If it is useful to have gaps in the line where the data is missing, then the undesired points can be indicated using a masked array or by setting their values to NaN. It’s hard to see what the each prediction line is doing because there are so many of them,Īnd it’s hard to make out the scatter plot behind the lines due to there being so many dots. Typically, you will create layers using a geom function, overriding the default position and stat if needed. Mutate(across(O:N, \(x) x + rnorm(x, 0, sd(x)))) library(ggplot2)īase_plot <- ggplot(bfi, aes(age, O, color = education)) + Geoms A layer combines data, aesthetic mapping, a geom (geometric object), a stat (statistical transformation), and a position adjustment. Gender = factor(gender, labels = c("Man", "Woman")),Įducation = factor(education, labels = c("HS", "finished HS", "some college", "college graduate", "graduate degree")) You can remove these points with the filter () function from the dplyr package. ![]() N = across(starts_with("N")) %>% rowMeans(na.rm = TRUE) O = across(starts_with("O")) %>% rowMeans(na.rm = TRUE),Ĭ = across(starts_with("C")) %>% rowMeans(na.rm = TRUE),Į = across(starts_with("E")) %>% rowMeans(na.rm = TRUE),Ī = across(starts_with("A")) %>% rowMeans(na.rm = TRUE), But there are no points, only x and y labs. Let’s look at the following plot: Generate some data library(dplyr) Often (especially when working with large and/or rich datasets) our (gg)plots can feel cluttered with information. Whether you log exercise type manually or let the SmartTrack technology do it for you, Fitbit will end up collecting sufficient exercise data to determine how much calories you burn. In this case, you have to log in to the app, enter details of the type of workout you’d like to track, and save the details. The second option is the manual logging of the workout. However, the drawback with the SmartTrack is that you have to be on the same activity for at least 15 minutes for Fitbit to recognize and record the type of exercise. ![]() Here, your smartwatch or tracker automatically determines the type of exercise for you and logs it in the app on your behalf. The first option is the SmartTrack technology. Your Fitbit device tracks exercises in two different ways. Let’s look at each metric, so you can learn more about why they’re significant for determining how much calories you burn. In addition to tracking the type of activities you do, they also give you an estimate of the calories you burn while working out.īut how does Fitbit calculate calories burned exactly?įitbit devices depends on four unique types of data to determine how much calories you burn every day. How Your Fitbit Calculates Calories Burnedįitbit devices have evolved from simple step pedometers to innovative tech that can help you improve the quality of your health. In this guide, I’ll dive deeper how Fitbit calculates calories, the types of calories the device shows, and give you some recommendations. Fitbit then gives an estimate of calories you burned for the day.īeing able to see how much calories you burn can motivate you to work smarter towards becoming healthy, especially if you’re currently trying to lose weight. ![]() Some models have built-in heart rate monitors, which can be quite helpful in determining calories burned during exercises. So how does Fitbit calculate calories burned?įitbit calculates calories burned using combination of your Basal Metabolic Rate and your activity data. That includes telling you exactly how much calories you burn. I’ve investigated Fitbit smartwatches and fitness trackers long enough to know they can track a ton of stats with precision. |
