![]() I think the problem is head flow vs cam and exhaust on the 2.6. I'll bet it works better that way than with a high flow and header. Funny but I've never run it with a stock exhaust. 1 tooth advanced and the header will glow in short order. I got mine running good with the Delta and high flow exhaust. My experience is they are hyper sensitive to timing. Too big a pipe on the 2.6 will cause lost torque down low and popping exhaust. When 1st started and driving down the hill using 2nd gear for braking Red Beans burbles and pops. Is this your setup? I thought you were now 100% stock?Ī cam and a big exhaust contribute to the popping. Possible answer #3: Could it be that this is the way it is with a Delta 260 Cam, header and bigger exhaust? Add to that the 1/2 tooth of valve timing and a little "burble & pop" becomes inevitable? ![]() I can relatively easily fix the half tooth issue, but can a half tooth cause this issue? If I pull a vacuum hose, I hear a change right away. Besides if I had vacuum leak, I'd expect other issues with getting the it to idle, etc., but it runs & idles fine at 12 BTDC with no fiddling. So, I'd be really shocked and annoyed if that was the source. I was pretty careful doing the intake manifold. FPR, Charcoal can, Brake booster.that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Also I really don't have that much vacuum stuff on the truck. However, the O2 is actually only looking at 2 cylinders. Possible answer #1: I have a vacuum leak somewhere, but the fact that the O2 looks good makes me wonder. I think this is OK, but the previous motor didn't do this after a throttle blip (I think). This is what I usually see when engine breaking. The one thing that is new: When the RPMs come back down after a throttle blip, the O2 reads - which means "off the charts" lean. Richens out a lot when I stomp the gas pedal. Leans out a little bit when the load gets really low. I don't remember which one.Īir fuel Mixture: Via the wideband O2 it appears to be where it should be during operation: Right around 14.7 when putting around under small load.

Advanced Internal Rating Based (IRB) Approach.Foundation Internal Rating Based (IRB) approach.In Basel II, there are following three ways to estimate credit risk. Market risk includes equity, currency and commodity risk. Operational Risk includes fraud and system failures. For example, Basel I focused only on credit risk whereas Basel II focused not only credit risk but also includes operational and market risk. Minimum Capital Required $200 (8% * Risk Weighted Assets)īasel II accord was introduced in June 2004 to eliminate the limitations of Basel I. Risk Weighted Assets $2500 (Mortage * Risk Weight) It was 50% for mortgages and 100% for non-mortgage exposures (like credit card, overdraft, auto loans, personal finance etc). In Basel I, fixed risk weights were set based on the level of exposure. Tier 2 capital : Subordinated loans, revaluation reserves, undisclosed reserves and general provisions.It includes shareholders' equity and retained earnings Tier 1 capital : Primary funding source of the bank.Capital is an aggregation of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. It means capital should be more than 8 percent of the risk-weighted assets. ![]() Banks needed to maintain ratio of at least 8%. It is the ratio of a bank's capital to its risk. It focused on credit risk and introduced the idea of the capital adequacy ratio which is also known as Capital to Risk Assets Ratio. The committee was expanded in 2009 to 27 jurisdictions, including Brazil, Canada, Germany, Australia, Argentina, China, France, India, Saudi Arabia, the Netherlands, Russia, Hong Kong, Japan, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Luxembourg, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, Indonesia and Belgium.īasel I accord is the first official pact introduced in year 1988. They meet regularly to discuss banking supervisory matters at the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland. It is to ensure that banks have minimum enough capital to give back depositors’ funds. Basel RegulationsĪ committee was set up in year 1974 by central bank governors of G10 countries. ![]() The whole economy can be in danger if current and future credit losses are not identified or estimated properly. You may have understood now why credit risk is so important. US Government bailed out many big corporate houses during recession. In simple words, people had a very little or no money to spend which leads to many organisations halted their production. Even non-financial firms were impacted badly because of either their investment in these funds or impacted because of a very low demand and purchasing activities in the economy. Banks, investors and re-insurers faced huge financial losses and bankruptcy of many financial and non-financial firms. Many financial institutions globally invested in these funds resulted to a recession. The real estate bubble burst and a sharp decline in home prices. In 2004-2007, these CDOs were considered as low-risky financial instrument (highly rated).Īs these home loan borrowers had high chance to default, many of the them started defaulting on their loans and banks started seizing (foreclose) their property. The process of selling them to investors is a legal financial method which is called Collateralized debt obligations (CDO). Banks funded these loans by selling them to investors on the secondary market. To compensate risk, banks used to charge higher interest rate than the normal standard rate. Poor credit score indicates that one is highly likely to default on loan which means they are risky customers for bank. ![]() Hence it is essential that banks have sufficient capital to protect depositors from risksĭo you remember or aware of 2008 recession? In US, mortgage home loan were given to low creditworthy customers (individuals with poor credit score). Serious honest borrowers with good credit history (credit score) would have to suffer. High NPAs lead to huge financial losses to the bank which turns to reduction of interest rate on the deposit into banks. In news, you might have heard of Kingfisher Company became non-performing asset (NPA) which means the company had not been able to pay dues. ![]() It's not restricted to retail customers but includes small, medium and big corporate houses. Remaining unpaid installments are worth USD 30,000. You paid a few initial installments of loan to the bank but stopped paying afterwards. For example, you took a personal loan of USD 100,000 for 10 years at 9% interest rate. Sometimes customers pay some installments of loan but don't repay the full amount which includes principal amount plus interest. In simple words, it is the risk of borrower not repaying loan, credit card or any other type of loan. ![]() ![]() Not everyone was a fan, however, and stories began to circulate on the damaging effects and scandals about the influence on the drink on crime, so in 1915 it was prohibited because it was considered dangerous to society. It was even brought to New Orleans in the United States by a Spanish barman named Cayetano Ferrer in the 1870s.Īt the beginning of the 20th century, absinthe held a position of being the most prominent drink in France, and even exceeded wine, the production of which was reduced at that time. The consumption of absinthe spread throughout Europe and was appreciated above all in Spain, which has adopted this drink as one of the national favorites. During that time it acquired the name "La Fée Verte", the green fairy, because many attributed a stimulating and even hallucinogenic effect to it. So "l'heure verte" was established in all cafés in France at 5:00 p.m., the green hour when the glasses of absinthe started to flow, which flooded the streets with its scent. The troops, who had already become used to the flavor, continued the consumption, a habit that was assumed by the rest of the French people. This was fostered above all by the French soldiers in the 1840s, who consumed absinthe on a large scale during their invasion of North Africa due to the medicinal properties as a way of preventing illness. What difference is there between a glass of absinthe and a sunset?Ībsinthe was originally also considered a drink of the higher classes, but through its strength and accessibility compared to wine, it quickly seduced all social classes and spread throughout all of France. The love of absinthe was so great that Wilde once said: "A glass of absinthe is as poetical as anything in the world. He decided to expand his market to France and to establish himself in the region of Pontalier.Ībsinthe became very popular among the French public, because it was the favorite drink of artists, writers and intellectuals, including Oscar Wilde, Arthur Rimabaud, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine. The recipe was acquired by Henri-Louis Pernod, who opened his first distillery in Switzerland and started to produce absinthe, which a very positive reaction. As a student, he dedicated himself to the creation of a healing mixture using wormwood and other local herbs, making use of their healing properties. The French doctor Pierre Ordinarie brought it in recently, as he moved to the village of Couvet in Switzerland during the French Revolution in the seventeenth century. These herbal combinations acquired the name absinthium, from the Greek word for bitter, due to the characteristic taste of the wormwood. In antiquity, the use of wormwood for making drinks and infusions was a widely known, because the Greeks were the first to make use of the healing properties of this plant, and it was nearly used as a wonder drug. By overcoming the limitations and the poor reputation in recent years, absinthe has succeeded in finding a space where one it can be released from old prejudices and where it can present its potential as a complex drink of high standing, that is an unrivalled pleasure for lovers of good drinks that always try to surprise themselves.Ībsinthe, the mysterious crystal green drink impregnated with the aroma of absinthe, even though its turbulent history is closely associated with French society, has its origin many centuries back as an invention of Ancient Greece. History of the Absinthe Frappe Old Absinthe House is one of the most historic bars in New Orleans.The lovely, aromatic and seductive absinthe was one of the most popular drinks of previous centuries and was known as "La Fée Verte" in France, the "green fairy", that earned its notorious reputation as being very hallucinogenic. While we can’t promise the same with our classic Absinthe Frappe recipe, we certainly hope that the drink takes you on a boozy ride. The lyrics in that 1904 song promise to make life worthwhile again after just one sip. After all, this classic cocktail was iconic enough in its heyday to inspire a song called Absinthe Frappe in the Broadway show It Happened in Nordland. The Absinthe Frappe’s potency isn’t a bad thing but we suggest moderation. ![]() The Absinthe Frappe inspired Victor Herbert and Glen MacDonough to write the aptly named song Absinthe Frappe. As for its neon green color, seeing is believing. Absinthe, the drink’s primary ingredient, has an ABV that can be as high as 70%. We’re not exaggerating when we say that the Absinthe Frappe is potent. ![]() However, the Absinthe Frappe packs a wallop thanks to its main ingredient – absinthe.

He also notes that while reduction of muscle soreness and inflammation has been linked to the juice, individuals' antioxidant capacity improves, reducing oxidative damage post-workout. “ There are a lot of studies that have looked at the markers of muscle damage and how tart cherry juice can improve certain biomarkers of muscle damage after exercise.” It may also speed up recovery,” says Mazur. “Overall, tart cherry juice intake in the days leading up to and immediately following intense physical exercise may reduce muscle strength loss and soreness. The results suggested that, compared to the placebo group, there was a reduction in soreness after drinking tart cherry juice for seven days. Numerous studies, including this 2010 item from the International Journal of Sports Nutrition, looks at cherry juice for pain reduction after long-distance running. People started to notice cherry juice when it came to reducing muscle soreness. 2) Treats Sore Musclesįitness aficionados - and athletes in particular - began to pay more attention to cherry juice when researchers began examining its effects on recovery. Too much inflammation in the body can lead to diseases like cancer and heart disease. Antioxidants help slow down damage to your cells and reduce inflammation. One serving also includes 56 mg of flavonoids, including anthocyanins which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. “ contains a significant amount of Vitamin A and C as well as some manganese, potassium, copper, zinc and some vitamin K,” says Mazur. 1) Packs a Nutritious Punchįirst and foremost, tart cherries are packed with a ton of vitamins and nutrients in just one serving of juice. Here are seven distinct uses that may sway you to start a tart cherry juice regiment. The deliciously tart drink has several potential health benefits, and many researchers are conducting studies to uncover even more gains in the field of cardiovascular health and even cancer. Photo credit: Getty: Aleksandra Pavlova What are the health benefits of tart cherry juice? This study notes tart cherry juice benefits may be best enjoyed at specific high-intensity events as opposed to daily workouts, but more information is needed. A 2010 study in the Scandinavian Journal of Sports Medicine did demonstrate that marathon athletes who consumed tart cherry juice five days before and 48 hours after the event had a reduction in soreness and inflammation, as well as a quicker recovery than the placebo group. Most benefits are seen after 7-10 days of consuming consistently, but the key to getting these benefits is being consistent and consuming enough juice as frequently as possible. serving in the morning and one after your workout is most effective.” He continues, “Some studies go further in saying to consume one 8 oz. Jordan Mazur, MS, RD, a professional sports dietitian and nutrition director for the San Francisco 49ers, tells Good Housekeeping that 16oz of tart cherry juice is key to glean "phytonutrients to enjoy the reported benefits for inflammation and recovery." Look for pure cherry juice (not diluted) and brands that skip any added sugar. You’ll find them mostly grown in Michigan, but also in other pockets across the United States. This type of cherry has been studied more than any other for its unique nutrition profile. These cherries, sometimes called "sour" cherries, have a deep red color and a sweet-tart flavor profile on their own. If you are going to try drinking cherry juice for any health benefits, you’ll want to make sure that it is pure tart cherry juice, made with Montmorency cherries. ![]() What is tart cherry juice and how much should I be consuming? But that's not all of the associated health benefits of tart cherry juice. I was surprised to find studies that documented how elite athletes were using tart cherry juice to decrease pain after intense workouts and quicken their recovery. That's because, as of late, tart cherry juice is trending in the health space for its slew of possible nutritional benefits.īefore I started sipping, I turned to research to see for myself what kind of benefits this delightfully sour beverage may actually provide. ![]() But when I began to see pure cherry juice pop up on grocery shelves and at local farmer's markets all year round, I couldn't help but be intrigued. Out of all seasonal fresh fruit, cherries have a reputation for being a harbinger of warmth - the bright red bulbs are freshest at the height of summer. ![]() ![]() Generally, a time delay unit is a phase shifter with special features used at the subarray level. Additionally, monolithic microwave integrated circuit chips (MMICs) are available in the market, which can introduce specific or programmed time delays. MEMS, CMOS, and GaAs based true time delay units fall under the trombone or active distributed configuration class of time delays. Today, true time delays can be achieved in several ways:Ĭomplementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) However, the switched true time delays generated insertion loss between the reference and true time delay units, and the loss increased with frequency. When placed in the signal paths on array elements or subarrays, these time delay lines introduced specific time delays. Traditional time delay units were switched delay lines with quantized delays. True time delay units, or boards, are used in phased-arrays to provide beam steering and phase shifting. The optical method of true time delays is also available for variable phase shifting. For a single steering solution, a fixed time delay line between the elements can be used. In two-dimensional array antennas, true time delays can be introduced. ![]() If the requirement is to azimuth steer a vertical oblong beampattern in a one-dimensional array antenna, place true time delays between each column of sub-arrays. By carefully setting the true time delay, it is possible to introduce suitable phase shifting that matches the signal spectrum in phased-array antennas. ![]() Arranging the time delay lines from shortest to longest provides the necessary steering granularity and required beam steering. Selective beam steering can be introduced with a set of time delay lines. Variable phase-shifting provided by true time delay circuits can reduce beam squint and help to achieve high resolution. The use of the same phase shift for all array components in a phased-array antenna creates the beam squint phenomenon, where the difference in phase shift at the low and high end of the spectrum points the beam differently from one end to another. The Beam Squint Phenomenonīeam squint is a frequency-dependent distortion of the beam steering angle in phased-array antennas. True time delays eliminate this beam squint phenomenon by applying variable phase shifting across the signal spectrum, making them a key element of wide-band phased-array antennas. A phenomenon called beam squint limits phase shifter performance in wideband phased-array antennas. Phase shifters are used for directing the beams in phased-array antennas and are used to improve efficiency in narrowband communication systems. Among the list of solutions are phased array antennas, as they are highly efficient, with advantageous characteristics including electronic beamforming, spatial diversity features, and high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). However, in wideband communication, it is difficult to transmit and receive signals due to the distribution of signals across a wide spectrum.Īntenna technology has been extensively modified to address over-arching spectrum problems. The higher the bandwidth, the faster the communication data rates. There is an increasing need for faster, more reliable communication networks, and wideband communication systems are working to fulfill this need. Using true time delays, wideband communication systems provide speedier communication connections. Time delay units, or boards, are used in phased-arrays to provide beam steering and phase shifting. True time delays eliminate the beam squint phenomenon by applying variable phase shifting across the signal spectrum. For $a<0$ (maximum-phase), the contribution of the second term on the right-hand side of $(4)$ is positive, hence maximizing the group delay.True time delays are one of the key elements of wide-band phased-array antennas. A positive value of $a$, corresponding to a minimum-phase system, results in a negative contribution due to the right-most term in $(4)$, hence reducing the group delay. Since $H(s)$ must be stable, we require $b>0$, which results in a positive contribution to the group delay. For example given the complex number $x = Ae^$$ In signal processing, phase shift specifically refers to the rotation of a complex number. Phase shift is often confused with time delay, although related these are two different quantities. ![]() |
