He’s dedicated to perfecting Coffee Magic to the point of self-neglect, and intentionally drives students away from his class at the Parfaedia Institute so that he can spend more time on his research.

So will a big game by Ben Roethlisberger lead to a Steelers victory against Cleveland Sunday night, or will the Steelers passing statistics look much like those in Week 6 (14 of 22 for 162) when they had a decisive win over the Browns? Regardless of the statistics, the most important thing when it comes to the postseason is finding a way to win no matter what.On Oct. But with such an impressive Steelers defense, anything is possible. With the Steelers struggling to run the ball the second half of the 2020 season, expecting Roethlisberger to pull out a win with low passing statistics does not seem probable the way this team is designed. While sticking strictly with Rothlisberger‘s numbers, I thought it was important to also explain how much he was getting in support in the run game. So there are some numbers in regards to Ben Roethlisberger in winning performances in the postseason. On the other end of the spectrum, Roethlisberger has won 3 playoff games without throwing a touchdown pass. ![]() Throwing for 3 touchdowns, it’s only one of five games in which Roethlisberger has thrown multiple touchdowns in a playoff win. The most touchdowns Rothlisberger has ever thrown in a playoff victory for the Steelers was in the 2005 Wild Card against the Cincinnati Bengals. In that game, Roethlisberger only completed 16 passes and had a completion percentage of 48.5%. The most passing attempts Rothlisberger has ever had in a playoff victory was 33 in the 2008 AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens. The fewest completions Roethlisberger has ever had in a playoff victory was 9 in Super Bowl XL. Roethlisberger completed 21 passes in the 2005 AFC championship game in Denver as well as Super Bowl XLIII. The most completions Roethlisberger has ever had in a playoff win is 21 which he has achieved two separate times. The most yards Roethlisberger has ever thrown in a Wild Card win was 229 against the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2015 postseason. The only other games in which Roethlisberger has passed for more than 250 yards in a playoff win were in Super Bowl XLIII and the 2008 AFC Championship Game. Roethlisberger hit the 275 yard mark in the 2005 AFC championship game in Denver against the Broncos. In his playoff career, Ben Roethlisberger has never thrown for more than 275 yards in which the Steelers were victorious. With an average of 195.5 passing yards per game, Roethlisberger only has completed 58.2% of his passes in home playoff wins while getting 137.7 rushing yards per game in support. To get even more specific, in the 6 home playoff wins in Roethlisberger’s career, he doesn’t even average 200 yards passing and has only gone over the 200 yard mark twice. ![]() In these games, Roethlisberger also gets a lot of support from the running game where it averages 134.5 yards per game. In the 13 playoff victories in Roethlisberger‘s career, he average is only 206.5 yards per game through the air and has a completion percentage of 60.9%. In these losses, Roethlisberger completes 64.0% of his passes and the Steelers running game does not offer as much support as they average 97.3 yards per game. In the eight playoff losses in Roethlisberger‘s career, he averages 321.4 passing yards per game. On average, Roethlisberger also gets 120.3 rushing yards per game to support his passing attack. His completion percentage overall is 62.4% in his 21 career playoff games. For his career, Roethlisberger average is 250.3 yards per game passing in the postseason. In order to compare how Ben Roethlisberger does in playoff wins versus playoff losses, it’s good to look at a baseline number. In this installment of Crunching the Numbers, we’ll take a look at how Ben Roethlisberger’s numbers haves compared in playoff wins vs. With a 13–8 playoff record, it’s quite surprising how much Steelers’ postseason success comes when Roethlisberger does not have to carry so much of the load. Interestingly enough, when looking at Roethlisberger‘s playoff performances over his career, in games the Steelers were victorious are not necessarily the games in which Roethlisberger produces the best statistics. With the Steelers running game being almost nonexistent, the success of the Steelers offense lies very heavily on Ben Roethlisberger’s shoulders. Ben Roethlisberger, along with three other Steelers’ captains, were able to take off in Week 17 in order to get some rest for their playoff run. The Pittsburgh Steelers are headed into the 2020 NFL postseason and are about as healthy as one could expect. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Our team’s involvement extends well beyond the development and construction of this project. The Terminal building is not just being preserved, instead it’s being infused with new life becoming a cultural, economic, and recreational community asset and a beacon for sustainability for the Town of Collingwood,” says Les Mallins, President of Streetcar Developments. “Our concept enables enhanced public access to the Spit, the Bay and the Terminal building itself in ways that would not have been previously possible.

The proposal ensures that the distinct, industrial look of the silos will be preserved, with the new components built in. With that all said, the proposed development won’t be at the expense of the integrity of the existing structures. This area will feature a deck structure extending out into the Georgian Bay that will provide visitors an unmatched experience of engaging with the fresh water that builds on Collingwood’s local swimming rituals.” “The western side of the Terminals and extending north towards Millennium Park will be an exciting outdoor water recreational area.

Although there could be other orbiters that went closer, none of them carried Sun-facing imagers like the Solar Orbiter. Scientists hope to find answers to questions about the Sun and the Solar System, like what drives its 11-year cycle and subsiding magnetic activity, or what hearts up its atmosphere, or what drives the solar wind, or how do the sun and its solar wind affect Earth.Īccording to NASA, the closest distance it has been to the star of the Solar System was 48 million miles, where it snapped the closest pictures of the Sun to date. Solar Orbiter is the most comprehensive scientific laboratory ever launched to the sun, with the goal of taking closer photographs of its polar regions, measuring the composition of solar winds, and learning more about its beginnings. A few months later, in November, the spacecraft began its routine science operations to mark the official start of its mission.

With construction starting this year, Form Energy hopes its West Virginia factory will start producing its first batteries as early as 2024. Form Energy also says these iron-air batteries will form “power blocks” where iron-air batteries handle long load times, while lithium-ion batteries take care of spikes in demand. The downsides to iron-air batteries? They’re big and also slow to recharge, which is likely why lithium-ion will remain the battery of choice for electric cars and smartphones. ![]() Lithium-ion only provides approximately four hours of storage, whereas iron-air could deliver up to 100 hours-a full four days to bridge those energy gaps. Right now, these batteries’ primary task would be to bridge the gap when utilities need more power during peak hours, and as green energy eats up a bigger share of the energy pie, they could also crucially store excess energy on sunny days to shore up supply when the clouds roll in. Secondly, and most importantly, iron-air batteries would be 10 times cheaper, perform better, and last 17 times longer. This tech’s adoption could help curtail the large amounts of water used to mine lithium (not to mention alleviating the potential for groundwater contamination). As their name suggests, these batteries use primarily iron, the fourth most abundant element on Earth, and. For one, iron-air batteries solve a few of lithium’s biggest shortcomings right off the bat. NASA first started experimenting with iron-air batteries back in the late 1960s, and it’s obvious why this next-gen storage system has engineers excited. To charge it back up, a current reverses the oxidation and turns the cells back into iron. Using a principle called “reverse rusting,” the cells “breathe” in air, which transforms the iron into iron oxide (aka rust) and produces energy. And the company is willing to put $760 million behind the idea by building a new manufacturing facility in West Virginia.Įach iron-air battery is about the size of a washer/dryer set and holds 50 iron-air cells, which are then surrounded by an electrolyte (similar to the Duracell in your TV remote). Now, Form Energy, a Massachusetts-based energy company, thinks it has the solution: iron-air batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are only great at expending energy over a short period, the compound lithium isn’t exactly readily available, and if you’ve ever seen a Tesla engulfed in flames, you know they can explode. ![]() In fact, lithium is so vital to humanity’s green energy future that people are trying to figure out how to get more of it as soon as humanly possible.īut what might work for your laptop isn’t the best storage idea for power grids where energy output is measured in megawatts. It’s why you’ll find them in consumer products from electric cars, smartphones, and everything in between. If you want to store energy, lithium-ion batteries are really the only game in town. ![]() Statistically, the moving average is optimal for recovering the underlying trend of the time series when the fluctuations about the trend are normally distributed. For larger values of n, the median can be efficiently computed by updating an indexable skiplist. Where the median is found by, for example, sorting the values inside the brackets and finding the value in the middle. Let those data-points be p 1, p 2, …, p n An example of a simple equally weighted running mean is the mean over the last k k entries of a data-set containing n n entries. This ensures that variations in the mean are aligned with the variations in the data rather than being shifted in time. However, in science and engineering, the mean is normally taken from an equal number of data on either side of a central value. In financial applications a simple moving average ( SMA) is the unweighted mean of the previous k k data-points. Viewed simplistically it can be regarded as smoothing the data. When used with non-time series data, a moving average filters higher frequency components without any specific connection to time, although typically some kind of ordering is implied. Mathematically, a moving average is a type of convolution and so it can be viewed as an example of a low-pass filter used in signal processing. It is also used in economics to examine gross domestic product, employment or other macroeconomic time series. The threshold between short-term and long-term depends on the application, and the parameters of the moving average will be set accordingly. ![]() ![]() Then the subset is modified by "shifting forward" that is, excluding the first number of the series and including the next value in the subset.Ī moving average is commonly used with time series data to smooth out short-term fluctuations and highlight longer-term trends or cycles.

Variations include: simple, cumulative, or weighted forms (described below).Ī moving average filter is sometimes called a boxcar filter, especially when followed by decimation. It is also called a moving mean ( MM) or rolling mean and is a type of finite impulse response filter.

In 2019, Congress directed the NRC to develop a regulatory framework for advanced reactors, including fusion reactors. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has been monitoring fusion energy developments for several years. This scientific breakthrough-the first time that a fusion reaction produced more energy than was used to start the reaction-means that we are one step closer to being able to harness the power of the stars to generate carbon-free electricity with far less radioactive waste than nuclear fission. The scientific community is abuzz about a recent announcement that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists achieved the first energy breakeven from a fusion reaction. Scientists have claimed to be on the brink of cracking nuclear fusion for decades, but hopefully with any luck that promise may finally be coming true.Fusion energy is hot. Start-ups like Helion Energy are also working toward this goal using magnetic coils to compression the reactor core. That said, labs like the U.S.’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) and France’s International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) have made progress in recent years with NIF reporting last summer that their reactor was able to generate up to 70 percent of its input energy. However, actually achieving this is easier said than done. In theory, after this initial power push the fusion reactor should then be able to create and sustain even more power than was initially fed into it. One problem facing fusion technology is that in order to create self-sustaining power (a point called “fusion ignition”) it needs to be sparked by a massive amount of energy. However, achieving and controlling fusion has been a lot more difficult for scientists to crack than fission. Unlike fission, nuclear fusion also has the added benefit of being self-sustaining without creating harmful waste. This interaction creates a huge burst of energy that is still burning at the heart of stars all across the universe. two hydrogen atoms combining to form one helium atom). Instead of breaking something apart, nuclear fusion happens when light atoms are smashed together to create a heavier atom (e.g. Unlike its sibling, nuclear fusion has largely been restricted to the realm of science fiction until recently. AI Can Now Control the Plasma in a Nuclear Reactor.MIT, Bill Gates-Backed Startup Partner on Fusion.This Reactor Just Made Fusion Viable by 2030.Companies like NuScale, TerraPower and X-Energy are already hard at work to bring these possibilities to life. For this reason it may be easier in the future to run an SMR in a remote community to create sustainable power or to power a spacecraft using a microreactor. Ranging between the size of a shipping container and a jet engine, these smaller scale reactors are designed to be more nimble than traditional nuclear power plants. Additionally, dedicating large complexes to nuclear power plants may become less popular as small modular reactors (SMRs) and microreactors come on the scene. molten salt instead of water coolant) and machine learning software incorporated into these plants that make them safer than their predecessors. In recent years there have been advances in both materials (e.g. However, it may be too soon to count nuclear fission out quite yet. remains lukewarm even today, according to a 2022 Pew Research Survey. As a result, public opinion on nuclear energy in the U.S. While nuclear fission may be less damaging to the environment than burning oil or coal, this energy source has faced its own crises in the form of pollution from radioactive waste and deadly meltdowns of aging power plants like Chernobyl and Fukushima.
