Top can increase draft, as can a second appliance using the same chimney as the heater. Details of Why is a draft regulator is needed ?Ĭhimney draft is not constant. While above we described how we measure draft inside of heating equipment and on the way to the chimney where (we hope) combustion gases are to be vented safely outside, the "draft" that the oil burner and furnace or boiler experience are not constant. So virtually all fossil-fuel-fired heating appliances provide some sort of draft control or draft regulator to keep the draft at required levels both in the combustion chamber and out through the chimney. Too little draft can result in incomplete combustion, soot-clogging of heating equipment (dangerous), and more dangerous heating appliance malfunctions such as oil burner puffbacks and in some cases dangerous production of carbon monoxide gas that leaks into the building (a potentially fatal problem). Too much draft can also increase chimney temperatures to an unsafe level. Too much draft increases heating appliance operating cost by venting heat out through the chimney instead of transferring the heat into the building where it was wanted. The force with which this air or combustion gas moves is the "draft" inside of the heating appliance. Why we need the Barometric Damper or Draft Regulator on a Boiler or Furnaceĭuring oil burner operation, and also on some gas fired equipment, combustion air moves into the burner are and combustion chamber (as combustion air).Īs combustion continues (the fuel is mixed with air and burned), a mix of air and combustion gases continues onwards, moving out of theĬombustion chamber, up through the boiler or furnace heat exchanger, through the flue vent connector ("stack pipe or flue pipe" and on into the chimney where these gases are finally vented outside, usually above the building roof. The draft regulator in our photo shown just above is not working - and has been deliberately jammed - indicating that something else is wrong, probably a chimney problem or an oil burner operating problem: the technician was unable to get enough draft, so s/he defeated the regulator - this is not a good idea, as we'll explain below. The service technician adjusts the weight to control the swing or opening of this door which in turn controls the amount of excess air that can enter the flue and chimney when the oil burner is operating. The face of the tee contains a round "door" with an adjustable weight. On oil fired equipment the barometric damper, or draft regulator is typically a round Tee inserted in the flue vent connector between the heating appliance and the chimney. ![]() The barometric damper or draft regulating device we are discussing here is normally used only on oil-fired heating equipment, not on gas-fired equipment. ![]() Define Barometric Damper or Draft Regulatorīarometric dampers are devices used to regulate the draft on oil-fired heating equipment such as furnaces, boilers, or DEFINITION of BAROMETRIC DAMPER / DRAFT REGULATORĭraft Regulators for oil fired heaters: Details about draft control on oil fired heating systems (such as the oil fired heater shown in the photo above), including furnaces or boilers, are discussed in this article just below.ĭraft Regulators for gas fired heaters: Details about draft control for gas fired heating systems, including furnaces or boilers, are discussed separately atĪt DRAFT HOOD, GAS HEATER for gas fired equipment.Guide to Inspecting Barometric Dampers or Draft Regulators on Oil Fired Heaters, Furnaces, Boilers, Water Heaters We also provide an ARTICLE INDEX for this topic, or you can try the page top or bottom SEARCH BOX as a quick way to find information you need.

![]() Donkey Kong really is better off with Diddy staying on his back, as he does in single player, when they separate he loses Diddy’s jetpack power to hover a couple of seconds. The second player takes control of Diddy Kong, in theory this sounds great, in practice it doesn’t quite feel right. The final addition to the franchise is that it is now playable in a co-operative mode. It all looks very nice and stylised like this, but I found that on occasion it made it difficult to differentiate background from enemy, which was a bit of a pain. Another addition, although not one that affects the gameplay, is that some levels take place at sunset, leaving you playing the whole level in silhouette. By using some of DKs blast barrels you can shoot off into the background where some sections of levels take place, sometimes even going back in to a second level of background. The game now boasts an extra half a dimension, making it 2.5D. There’s more new additions to the series. It’s a handy new way of getting around for the Kongs, and level design has been used to make use of it in the most ingenious of ways. As well as the usual running, jumping, rolling and pounding, DK can now cling on to grassy surfaces, although why there is grass growing on ceilings and walls is a mystery. Veterans of the original games will find a few additions to the traditional 2D platforming they know and love. The game is split up in to nine worlds, each with eight levels culminating in a boss battle. Why anybody would want to steal DK’s bananas is beyond me, but it keeps on happening, and as always there’s a formidable obstacle course for the Kongs to overcome if they want their bananas back. In themselves they are no match physically for the Kongs, but with their hypnotic powers they have possessed pretty much every other creature on Kong Island to do their dirty work. But this time the Kremlings are out of the picture, and have been replaced with the Tikis, a bunch of floating tribal masks that look like rejects from a Crash Bandicoot game. Story wise it’s the same old thing it’s always been with DK, somebody stole his bananas, and it’s up to him and Diddy to get them back. ![]() ![]() So it’s well overdue for his greatest hour to be resurrected with a new instalment in the Donkey Kong Country series, but with new developer Retro Studios can it match up to what were undoubtedly some of the finest 2D platformers ever? He gets his own game now and again, some good, others not so good, and it’s been a fair while since he got a really great game. Since then Mario went on to great things, became the company mascot, and a gaming legend. TIRED Unnecessary motion controls disappointing boss battles.Donkey Kong is getting on a bit, it’s been nearly thirty years since he first kidnapped Pauline and bombarded Mario with a barrage of barrels. WIRED Staggering attention to detail imaginative level design constant introduction of new gameplay elements high level of difficulty that doesn't frustrate. Retro Studios can add another feather to its cap. Its level design meets the gold standard set by the 2-D Mario games. Most require the standard three hits to take down, but they don't change up their patterns in any significant way after you get in the first couple of hits.ĭespite these issues, Donkey Kong Country Returns is the best 2-D platform game I've played in ages. Given Retro Studios' penchant for big, bombastic boss battles, I would have liked to see the same in Donkey Kong Country Returns. It would have been nice if Retro Studios had included an option to use the Wii's Classic Controller, because the motion controls add nothing to the game beyond gimmickry. I got used to it eventually, but until I did, I would sometimes accidentally roll forward into bottomless pits. It feels completely unnecessary, and shaking the remote takes longer than just pressing a button. The button-based controls are great they feel responsive, and Donkey Kong himself has a sense of weight that makes every action feel satisfying.īut one of the gorilla's main moves – rolling forward – is activated with a shake of the Wii remote. The one big problem with Donkey Kong Country Returns is the motion controls. Even that time when I lost more than 20 lives on a single level. It's challenging but fair every death felt like it was my own fault. There is never a point where the game suddenly becomes nearly impossible. Like most everything else in Returns, the difficulty is carefully crafted. Donkey Kong Country Returns is not quite as hard to master as the Donkey Kong Country games on the Super NES, but it's close. ![]() Instead of giving the player another action every turn while in battle, like the other best Boss Battle Grafts, the Quick Charger reduces the cost of a battle card every turn, which can result in some straight-up overpowered tactics.

This is a common trait among the very best Boss Battle Grafts, and the Dangerous Bulb possesses one of the less detrimental trades for an action point. That additional action grants the player the chance to play any card that can both prevent the guaranteed 3 damage caused by the Dangerous Bulb as well as other helpful effects. While taking 3 more damage in addition to whatever enemies are throwing at the player every turn may seem risky, this is a very worthwhile trade to gain another action during Sal's turn.

The website shows the bulk of the activity happens in Alberta, where the research team is based, but also in southern British Columbia and southern Ontario. ![]() They have created a website to track where outbreaks occur, SwimmersItch.ca. Patrick Hanington and his team of researchers at the University of Alberta’s School of Public Health are trying to better understand the transmission of parasites to humans from snails, which will ideally lead to prevention strategies for swimmer’s itch. Luckily humans are not suitable hosts, but the larvae can still burrow into skin, which can cause a rash.ĭr. Infected snails pollute the water in their area with microscopic larvae, which then search for a suitable host, to continue the cycle. Once released into the water, the eggs hatch, releasing free-swimming microscopic larvae, which search for a certain type of snail to infect. The parasites produce eggs that are passed in the feces of the infected animals. Primarily found in lakes, it occurs when adult parasites infect the blood of aquatic animals such as ducks, geese, and swans, as well as mammals such as muskrats and raccoons.

Unlike other form builders, making Paperforms doesn’t feel like a chore. This isn’t an ideal work around, especially if you want to use brand colours or have an image as a background. The only way to get rid of it is by making the form background the same colour. It is a part of JotForm’s design and can’t be removed. If you choose to create a Card Form, the form-building interface changes too- you’ll now see “Next” and “Previous” buttons below each block.ĭuring the design process you might notice a coloured box behind your form. In addition, there’s a ‘Layout’ tab, that lets you switch between the standard experience (all questions on one page), and what JotForm refers to as the “Card Form” experience (one question per page). Just keep in mind that these features are accessed through a separate menu within the ‘Themes’ sidebar, and open as a separate page, making it a slightly disjointed experience. Like most form builders you can add elements like images, logos and videos (though placement options are limited.) You can also change the size and colour of your font. Here you can choose pre-designed colour themes or select individual colours for text and backgrounds. JotForm forms can be customized using the Form Designer menu that appears on the right-hand side of the form editor. There are even “Quick Questions” shortcuts-commonly used form fields with pre-configured details-to make the process even more intuitive. Simply type "/" in the editor to quickly create questions and insert content. Want to speed things up? You can select whole groups of elements and move them at once, or transform text with lightning-fast slash commands. While Paperform is not a drag-and-drop form builder, questions and form elements can still be rearranged using a simple drag-and-drop motion. Instead, you can change the settings for each individual form field in the contextual “Configure” menu that pops up when a field is selected. This also means your forms don’t have to be edited within the confines of sidebars and menus on the left and right of screen. There’s no learning curve whatsoever- just click or type anywhere to add logos and images, embed videos, configure products and insert more than 25 question fields.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous Main article: Chaos Main article: Limbo Main article: GrimĪ Baryonyx trio named Grim, Chaos, and Limbo were featured in season 2. ![]() These Baryonyx were displayed alongside its relative Suchomimus in the Cretaceous Cruise. Their coloration is mostly a drab grey with greyish black on the back with turquoise sprinkles all over its back, with a creamy white belly, and turquoise blue on the eye orbit. These variants had a crocodilian-like armored back and a crocodilian-like underbelly, a long but broader snout that narrows as it reaches the tip of the snout, a less pronounced notch in the upper jaw, lacks the triangular crest on the top of its nasal bones, pronated wrists like all of InGen's cloned theropods, its second and third fingers and claws being longer, and more straight and conical teeth. While artwork on the park's website was brown with yellow stripes on their backs, legs, and underbelly, an aquamarine eyespot and brown patches on their body and stripes on their tail, with a slender snout and proto-feathers running along the back of their arms and top of their heads, the animals in the park were much different from the real-life counterparts and the Jurassic World website painting. InGen recreated this dinosaur for Masrani Global Corporation's new dinosaur park Jurassic World. Grant said it wasn't and said bigger, Billy thought Baryonyx but he confirmed they both don't have a sail. Alan Grant asked Billy Brennan what kind of dinosaur they saw, Billy thought it was a Suchomimus, because of its snout, Dr. It is unknown if there were any surviving wild populations on Isla Sorna after Hurricane Clarissa hit the island. Its paddock was located near a river, which could have supplied its residents with fish to eat. It was planned to live in its own paddock for Phase I of Jurassic Park, but never made it to Isla Nublar. InGen created five Baryonyx in the InGen Compound in Isla Sorna. Jurassic Park brochure map showing the Baryonyx paddock. 1.5 Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous: Hidden Adventure.By comparison, Suchomimus was more suited to wading after prey in shallow water. Ī 2022 study comparing the bone densities of Baryonyx and its close relatives, Spinosaurus and Suchomimus revealed that Baryonyx and Spinosaurus possessed very dense bones and could dive and swim in deep water. This strongly supports the idea that Baryonyx ate both fish and dinosaurs. In the guts of this dinosaur, paleontologists found the partially digested scales of large fish as well as the partially digested bones of a young Iguanodon. ![]() ![]() In fact, both ideas are supported by the original Baryonyx specimen from Surrey, England. Others, however, think it ate other dinosaurs. īecause of the shape of its snout and teeth (both of which are similar to those of modern crocodilians), some paleontologists think that Baryonyx ate lots of fish. It had a long, narrow snout filled with teeth that were cone-shaped, a real difference from the blade-shaped teeth of typical meat-eating dinosaurs. However, studies in the fossils of Baryonyx indicate that it had not yet reached its adult stage, so it could be larger, and another study found that there were vertebrae a little larger than others, which would indicate a possible candle or hump in the adult specimen. It was 10 meters (33 feet) long and 2.5 meters (8.25 feet) high at the hips. Baryonyx was smaller than these relatives but was still a big predator. Baryonyx (meaning "heavy claw") is an extinct genus of spinosaur, a member and of the same group as and a close relative to the northern African dinosaurs Spinosaurus and Suchomimus. ![]() Mathematicians do sometimes speak of ( curvilinear) triangles in the sense of the question, but only in settings such as topology, where it's clear the term is not restricted to its Euclidean meaning.Īs the joke goes, "Democritus called atoms. In the context of Euclidean geometry, a triangle has three (probably non-collinear) segments as sides.Īs JPC's answer notes, a triangle in spherical geometry means something else. "Are triangles with curved sides still considered triangles, in Euclidean space?" (Emphasis added.) As 5xum's answer says, "no". Strictly speaking, it's not well-posed to ask a terminological question as if it's a question about reality, it's only meaningful to ask in some mathematical context. In other fields, a segment might be a primitive concept a triangle might mean a three-element set a circle might mean the solution set of an equation $x^$ or some such. Topologists frequently speak of segments when they mean connected smooth $1$-manifolds with boundary triangles when they mean smooth images of a standard $2$-simplex circles when they mean compact, connected $1$-manifolds, and so forth. In differential topology, the terms have even wider meanings that do not reduce to the Euclidean sense. In differential geometry, the same terms have wider meanings involving geodesics and geodesic distance, though they do reduce to the Euclidean sense when we view Euclidean geometry from a differential-geometric viewpoint. In Euclidean geometry, terms such as segment, triangle, and circle have specific and rigid (heh) meanings. Despite this, words do not map bijectively to concepts, and there is no practical way to adjust language to form a bijection. Mathematics generally strives for precision. ![]() Natural language is flexible, and that flexibility gives us idioms and metaphors, which can be useful (or telling). (I've heard this called The Fundamental Theorem of Semiotics.) There's a deeper point addressed in the comments (especially by 5xum in their answer), but that based on Methadont's comments is perhaps the heart of the question: A thing and the name of a thing are distinct. |
