Models not showing up when rendering on blender 2.90 using Cycles or EEVEE. I have restarted my pc, it did not work. result:

How is the equation of motion on an ellipse derived? I would like to show that a particle orbiting another will follow the trajectory   \begin{equation} r = \frac{a(1-e^2)}{1 + e \cos(\theta)}. \end{equation}  I would like to do this with minimal assumptions. Any pointers? I've read that this is nothing but the equation for an ellipse, as defined from the focus of the ellipse. But I'm not satisfied in just taking the result, I mean why should I assume that orbits are elliptical? I guess it should be derivable from energy and angular momentum considerations... I am constructing a bibliography of as much of the prior research in a field I am working in. I would like to use BibTeX to print the citation in the pdf, and then I would like to add the details of the paper after the citation. Only then would I like to print the next citation. For example:  [1] Jahan M. Dawlaty and Yunquing Chen. Measurement of the optical absorption of graphene in the terahertz. Applied Physics Letters, 2008. Research Group: Cornell Pump Wavelength: 500 nm. Probe Wavelenth: 7 microns. Relaxation Time: 50 fs. [2] Paul George and Dmitry Vekslar, Measurement of Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics in Graphene. Applied Physics Letters, 2009.  . . . and so on. Does anyone know how this could be done? Available US State or National business (or employer) database lists? This question dovetails with this post on .  I am familiar with some of larger, paid-for business registry's like  and .  While the detailed information their business listings database include (like # of employees, annual sales, industry code, etc) is fantastic, if you are on a limited budget, sometimes the cost of purchasing the data outweighs the value you can get from it.  If you have geocoding capabilities in house, one could potentially create a reasonable surrogate by spatially-enabling (geocoding) a publicly available business listing on your own.    If you were looking to take on this type of project, where would you start your research? Do you know of US agencies at a State or National level that maintain this type of information, AND are publicly available for download or minimal purchase? Fast way of finding lines in one file that are not in another? power outage/frozen meat We were on vacation for a week. The neighbor said we were out of power the whole time.  We have a chest freezer full of beef. It thawed but remained in the freezer unopened the whole time. Is the meat bad if it is thawed but still cold? Can we refreeze it and eat it? Best way to hide a window from the Alt-Tab program switcher? I've been a .NET developer for several years now and this is still one of those things I don't know how to do properly. It's easy to hide a window from the taskbar via a property in both Windows Forms and WPF, but as far as I can tell, this doesn't guarantee (or necessarily even affect) it being hidden from the Alt+↹Tab dialog. I've seen invisible windows show up in Alt+↹Tab, and I'm just wondering what is the best way to guarantee a window will never appear (visible or not) in the Alt+↹Tab dialog.  Update: Please see my posted solution below. I'm not allowed to mark my own answers as the solution, but so far it's the only one that works.  Update 2: There's now a proper solution by Franci Penov that looks pretty good, but haven't tried it out myself. Involves some Win32, but avoids the lame creation of off-screen windows. How to execute a script just by double clicking like .EXE files in Windows? every eigenvalue of $T$ has only one corresponding eigenvector up to a scalar multiplication For a linear transformation $T$ on a vector space $V$ of dimension $n .$ Suppose it is given that for some vector $\mathbf{v},$ the vectors $\mathbf{v}, T(\mathbf{v}), T^{2}(\mathbf{v}), \ldots, T^{n-1}(\mathbf{v})$ are linearly independent, then is it true that every eigenvalue of $T$ has only one corresponding eigenvector up to a scalar multiplication.

TeX Live 2016: minted doesn't work with LuaLaTeX (bug fixed in June 2016) I've installed TeX Live 2016 as it was released today (thanks to the developers for that).

As mentioned, it's a freshly installed TeX Live 2016; I've also checked the installed Pygmentize version, which is 2.1.3 (installed via pip). Testing with TeX Live 2015, the above code, however, works without problems with both pdflatex and lualatex.

How diodes protect H-bridge DC motor driver? I don't really understand how these diodes in this circuit and similar circuits (like driving a relay circuit) protects the controller circuit from the energy stored by the inductance of the coil. I really appreciate if someone could graphically explain it. ( I mean how the the diodes block the current and etc)  the second question about this circuit is the capacitor. what happens if it isn't there? How can I run a different command but with the same arguments?
