![]() ![]() Examples of code-prescribed deflection limits and live load values are: These limits are based on live loads and activities experienced in specific rooms of a house. Typical deflection limits referenced in code books are L/360, L/240 or L/180. Drywall attached to the underside of this system is not expected to crack when the floor joist system deflects 1/3″. ![]() For example: a floor joist appropriately selected to span 10 feet with an L/360 limit will deflect no more than 120″/360 = 1/3 inches under maximum design loads. They are expressed as a fraction clear span in inches (L) over a given number. Maximum deflection limits are set by building codes. Only live loads are used to calculate design values for stiffness. In other words, how much a joist or rafter bends under the maximum expected load. Stiffness of structural members is limited by maximum allowable deflection. Perhaps the joists were strong enough if they didn’t break! But lack of stiffness leads to costly problems. For example, first-floor ceiling plaster would crack as occupants walked across a second-floor bedroom that was framed with bouncy floor joists. Strength and stiffness are equally important. Beams, studs, joists and rafters act as a structural skeleton and must be strong enough and stiff enough to resist these loads. The house acts as a structural system resisting dead loads (weight of materials), live loads (weights imposed by use and occupancy), like snow loads and wind loads. This article will focus on how simple beams like joists and rafters react to loading. If, when the loads of the house are combined, the house weighs more than the soil can support – the house will sink until it reaches a point at which the soil can support the load. Remember when your science teacher said: every action has an opposite and equal reaction? Well every building load has an equal “reaction load”. The structural goal of a house is to safely transfer building loads (weights) through the foundation to the supporting soil. A complete analysis of wood’s mechanical properties is complex, but understanding a few basics of lumber strength will allow you to size joists and rafters with the use of span tables. Wood is naturally engineered to serve as a structural material: The stem of a tree is fastened to the earth at its base (foundation), supports the weight of its branches (column) and bends as it is loaded by the wind (cantilever beam). Using span tables to size joists and rafters is a straight-forward process when you understand the structural principles that govern their use. ![]()

I recommend this software.Man圜am is a free webcam software and video switcher that helps you produce professional quality live videos. The features page mentions recording videos to show later, but I don't see how that's a selling point. I can hypothesize this being done without Man圜am on that device, but I'd bet Man圜am makes it easy. Being able to easily stream from an Android device would be very useful. "Mobile Source" is actually quite interesting.

Adding multiple sources is also trivial.All the tabbed-features at the bottom of the window are trivial to figure out.I have no idea what this is or how to significantly customize it.It's just a bit of graphics using the two-line text title and subtitle concept. Oh! I later learned that I can just drag it around the preview area.Showing the time is easy enough, but I don't see a way to move it out of the middle of the screen. All of Man圜am's sliders are too damned small to grip and move around.When adding text, I can disable the Man圜am logo. I see no feature to increase the height of the text area. However, for some reason I can additional lines of text, and none of that will appear. Adding text, I see I can add two lines of text and it looks good.I don't understand why I would even need to do this, just finish the fucking install and launch the program already. I waited and was given a "finished" window. I do, however, have a peeve when I see this installer at 100% and I cannot click "Next". The installation progress style is fancy, but I don't care too much.

![]() ![]() I’ll be breaking them down in the following order of release: Again, I won’t be covering the 2002 remake, (nor will I be covering the unreleased but playable Demake on GameBoy Color), so this is restricted only to versions of the original game. The core experience is still there across all versions, but each release offers a different set of bonuses and changes, some of which are major (and literal) game-changers. This can make it difficult to figure out which version to grab when you’re just starting out with the game, as each is wildly different from one another. Just like nearly every other game in the franchise, Resident Evil (1996) has been ported and re-released constantly, with the most recent re-release only being two years ago. This pertains only to the PlayStation 1 original, and its subsequent ports and re-releases. I should note, this isn’t going to cover Resident Evil REmake (aka RE ’02/REmaster/REbirth), which is an entirely different game in much the same way the latest remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 are. Yet again, I’ll be breaking down everything you need to know in order to outlive the original survival horror classic from so very many years ago, and covering some bonuses towards the end. To follow up on those, I’ve put together a similar article going over the details of the one that started it all and codified the survival horror genre - Resident Evil (1996). Lots of new faces have flocked to the fan base after experiencing these retellings of the classics, asking: where should they go from here? I’ve previously written starter’s guides for playing Resident Evil 2 (1998) and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999), going over the best versions to play, some starter tips, and skimmed a few of the bonus features along the way. ![]() The remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 have come and gone, and in so doing have brought in an entirely new generation of fans. ![]() ![]() ![]() The solution set of the given equation is. Solving each of these linear equations leads to We set each factor equal to 0, leading to If the product of three factors is equal to 0, at least one of the individual factors must be equal to 0. The fully factored form of the equation is therefore Is the difference of two squares and hence can be factored as follows: We observe that the quadratic expression □ − 9 We now have the product of a linear term and a quadratic expression. ![]() The equation can therefore be factored as We observe that the two terms on the left-hand side of the equation have a common factor of 2 □. This equation is of degree 3 and hence is a cubic equation. The equation we are given is not a quadratic equation. We summarize the steps involved in solving a quadratic equation by factoring in the process below.Įxample 3: Solving an Equation by First Identifying the Highest Common Factor between the Termsįind the solution set for 2 □ = 1 8 □ . We can check our answer by substituting □ = 4 back into the original quadratic equation: This is a repeated root, but we only need to list it once as our solution. We have a repeated factor of ( □ − 4 ), so we only have one equation to solve: To solve a quadratic equation in its factored form, we set each factor equal to 0 and then solve the resulting linear equations. The quadratic is, therefore, a perfect square. 16 is equal to 4 ,Īdditionally, we observe that the middle term, − 8 □, is equal to the negative of twice the square root of the first term multiplied Upon inspection, we observe that both the first and third terms in this quadratic equation are perfect squares. Solve the equation □ − 8 □ + 1 6 = 0 by factoring. In the next example, we will demonstrate how to solve a quadratic equation by first recognizing it as a perfect square and hence writing the quadratic in its factored form.Įxample 2: Solving a Simple Quadratic Equation by Factoring This can be expressed as the solution set − 4 3, 3 2 . The solutions to the quadratic equation ( 2 □ − 3 ) ( 3 □ + 4 ) = 0 are □ = 3 2 and The second equation can be solved by subtracting 4 from each side and then dividing by 3: The first equation can be solved by adding 3 to each side and then dividing by 2: We therefore have two linear equations to solve. The only way the product of these two expressions can be 0 is if one of the factors individually is equal to 0. We are given that the product of the two linear expressions ( 2 □ − 3 )Īnd ( 3 □ + 4 ) is 0. This quadratic equation is already in a factored form. ![]() In our first example, we will demonstrate the process of solving a quadratic equation given its factored form.Įxample 1: Solving a Prefactored Equation It is important to remember that not every quadratic equation is factorable, so the methods we discuss here can only be applied to those that are. In some cases, the two solutions may coincide to give one repeated root, in which case we only give this value once as the solution. There are therefore two solutions, or roots, to the given quadratic equation: □ = − □ □ and □ = − □ □. So, to find all solutions to the given equation, we set each factor equal to 0, leading to two linear equations: The key to solving such an equation is to recognize that if the product of two (or more) factors is equal to 0, then at least one of the individual factors Suppose we have a quadratic equation in its factored form, The focus of this explainer is the application of these skills to solving quadratic equations. recognizing a quadratic as the difference of two squares,.recognizing a quadratic as a perfect square,.We should already be familiar with a number of methods for factoring quadratic expressions, including We can use the methods for solving quadratic equations that we learned in this section to solve for the missing side.A quadratic equation is any equation that can be expressed in the form □ □ + □ □ + □ = 0 , where □, □, Because each of the terms is squared in the theorem, when we are solving for a side of a triangle, we have a quadratic equation. ![]() We use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of one side of a triangle when we have the lengths of the other two. It has immeasurable uses in architecture, engineering, the sciences, geometry, trigonometry, and algebra, and in everyday applications. It is based on a right triangle, and states the relationship among the lengths of the sides as \(a^2+b^2=c^2\), where \(a\) and \(b\) refer to the legs of a right triangle adjacent to the \(90°\) angle, and \(c\) refers to the hypotenuse. One of the most famous formulas in mathematics is the Pythagorean Theorem. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s importan t to understand how xRDP works and how sessions are created with the software. We have quickly and simply demonstrated how to overcome this minor but annoying xRDP “issue”. We hope that this post will be useful to all these people that have encountered the xRDP black screen situation. However, there are other techniques (easier to implement that can be used) and we will share them with you soon…. In the next post, we will show you how to implement these techniques Final Notes This is basically the recommended approach to be used. So, you move to your Windows machine (or Linux machine), fire up your favorite remote desktop client and provide the ip address or the hostnameĪs mentioned in the title, this is the most command and most standard approach to fix this issue. Let’s also assume that you are still logged on into your Ubuntu machine system locally with your user account (which could be called User1). Let’s assume that you have performed a successful xRDP installation (manually or using our famous xrdp-installer-xx.sh script) and you are ready to test your rdp connection to your Ubuntu machine. Overview Reproducing the “Black Screen” Situation The “problem” is actually well known and there is really an simple and easy fix for that. This post will basically explain why this happens and how to reproduce the issue. When trying to connect via remote desktop protocol (rdp) to the Ubuntu machine, and after providing the credentials in the xRDP Login page, the user will only see a black screen displayed and the desktop interface is never loaded and displayed. We have noticed that a lot of people hit the same issue over and over again. ![]() ![]() ![]() In doing so, you’ll designate whether your move from your old address to your new one is temporary or permanent.
