Both strings should be equal?
How do I compare strings in Java?
U.s. boiler / Burnham boiler alterations i have a 203ncl-tei2 boiler installed in danvers Massachusetts. Regular elevation. This boiler also has a failed tejurland (universal control) powerventer motor on it that is only humming, not spinning. Looked for a dead animal, or nest and checked for free spinning of the squirrel cage it was fine. Its installed 3 feet from outside wall on the verticle, (installed wrong also has 2 seperate 90° bends after the venter, not my issue but may have caused the motor to fail). Ontop of the boiler we have a factory automatic damper assy.   So the 2nd part of the problem is I noticed the tei in the model number and assumed this ment i should expect to see a tejurland "universal" power venter installed and i do. I assume because its a universal control unit thats where they went wrong. This unit is atleast 200$ cheaper here than the model burnham uses.  I call burnham and ask what the original power venter model number is and they tell me what some pros may already know, (i didnt), that the tei2 is actually (t)taco, (el)elivation, (2) 2 is 2,000 ft  .Note:he was not.100% sure about the el. He was definetly sure PV would be in the model number and it was not tejurland. There is no chimney on this house, never was. Power venter wall thimble outside is very old definetly older than the 1 year old motor that failed. Burnham also said this is not a boiler that can be converted to a powerventer which is sometging i do not understand. He said if it does not have pv in the model number it should not have one. I have in the past converted a boiler with a factory reccomended power venter after a customer lost the chimney. I called and got lucky they had a option for it. I do not remember manufacturer but do remember also seeing it in the install manual as an addendum or seperate manual.  Is this a fact?   Anyone have experience with this?   What are the ramifications of an elevated boiler installed at sea level?   If i can not find another awnser, i will havemto tell customer they need a new boiler or i will have to walk away.   Why do they not just make an orifice kit for elevated boilers to work properly at higher elevations? Is it because they have to add another section to the boiler so it can put out the same  b.t.u.?  I know there is a reason. Seems like smaller orifice would fix the air fuel ratio along with a regulator adjustment. Its to simple of an awnser knowing that manufacturers make a complete different boiler for higher elevations.   ! How to prove a general matrix invertible given by as below?

Why do I see different versions of node and nodejs I ran the following commands to install the stable version of node  sudo npm cache clean -f sudo npm install -g n sudo npm install -g n   Now, when I run node -v, I see v10.0.0, whereas nodejs -v returns v4.2.6.

I'm finding some weird behavior with TikZ's \foreach within an \begin{axis} environment.  This works:  \foreach \x in {-2,-1,...,2} {   \addplot[thick, domain=0.05+(\x*2-1)*pi/2:+(\x*2+1)*pi/2-0.05] (x, {tan(deg(x))});  }   but this doesn't:  \foreach \x in {-2,-1,...,2} {   \draw (\x,-5) -- (\x,5); }   It gives the error  ! Undefined control sequence. &lt;argument&gt; \x                ,-5 l.771     \end{axis}   Here's the really weird part: it only fails when the axis has defined bounds. For example, here's a MWE that works (but doesn't draw anything):  \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}   \begin{axis} % [ ymin=-3, ymax=3, xmin=-5, xmax=5]     \foreach \q in {-2,-1,...,2} {       \draw (axis cs: \q,-5) -- (axis cs: \q,5);     }   \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   but removing the comment causes it to fail.  Why is this and how can I prevent it?  (My end goal is to draw five segments of the tangent function and their verical symptotes.) I'm currently reading documentation about map projections to understand the source code of the Proj4 project.  The scale factor is named in a variety of sources I read. This sources explained its definition and its value for some projections.   In the source code of Proj4, for the mercator projection (sphere and ellipse case), the scale factor influences the coordinates on the projection :   //P-&gt;k0 is the scale factor xy.x = P-&gt;k0 * lp.lam; xy.y = - P-&gt;k0 * log(pj_tsfn(lp.phi, sin(lp.phi), P-&gt;e));   Why and how I should use the scale factor during the computation of the projection ? Is there any valuable resources on the web ?  This question in asked in the sense of projection computation. I can find the formula for the inverse and forward projection as well as the scale factor in a various of resources, but no one explains how I should use both in a algorithm. You have the definition of the projection and the definition of the scale factor, but it's not clearly written that I should multiply or divide the result by the scale factor.   Is it a general rule : if I find the formula for any projection with the related scale factor, should I, in all cases, always divide or multiply the results by the scale factor ? If $E/F$ is algebraic and every $f\in F[X]$ has a root in $E$, why is $E$ algebraically closed? Number of ways to write n as a sum of k nonnegative integers How many ways can I write a positive integer $n$ as a sum of $k$ nonnegative integers up to commutativity?  For example, I can write $4$ as $0+0+4$, $0+1+3$, $0+2+2$, and $1+1+2$.    I know how to find the number of noncommutative ways to form the sum: Imagine a line of $n+k-1$ positions, where each position can contain either a cat or a divider. If you have $n$ (nameless) cats and $k-1$ dividers, you can split the cats in to $k$ groups by choosing positions for the dividers: $\binom{n+k-1}{k-1}$. The size of each group of cats corresponds to one of the nonnegative integers in the sum. Need Basic Viewer template for ArcGIS JSAPI 3.2/3.3 I am looking for basic viewer for ArcGIS JSAPI  but not  getting  proper sample/example.  I am going through  also but looks like its not working.  Going through  question also.  Checking out  example and getting confused that what is difference between Viewer template and layout?  So any help regarding this will be great! This is a variation of the  questioned some time ago.  For a complex Hilbert space $H$ let $T: H \rightarrow H$ be a bounded operator. We call that $T$ is a trace-class operator if the following sum  $$\sum_{i}{\langle |T|e_{i}, e_{i} \rangle} &lt; \infty$$  converges, where $|T| = (T T^{*})^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is the absolute value of the operator.  Assume that  $$\sum_{i}{\langle Te_{i}, e_{i} \rangle}$$  converges for any basis in the space $H$. How to prove that if the aformentioned property holds then the operator is a trace class operator?  The progress on the problem is the following: Given an arbitrary bounded operator $T: H \rightarrow H$, one can use the following decomposition $$T = \big( \frac{T + T^{*}}{2} \big) ^{*} + i \big( \frac{T^{*} - T}{2i} \big) ^{*}$$  The latter line gives the decomposition $$T = A + i B$$ where $A, B$ are normal operators.  For the normal operators we can apply the spectral theorem that proposes that $T$ is unitary equivalent to  $$(UT U^{-1})(f(x)) = g(x) f(x)$$  where  $$U: H \rightarrow L^{2}(X, \mu)$$ $$g \in L^{\infty}(X, \mu)$$  Though this decomposition classify the operator in a broad sence, i see no direct way to conclude the statement. Are the any hints that may extend the previous argument? If not, are there any ways to conclude the statement? accounting for LED resistance Ubuntu 17.10 Upgrade Broke VMWare Workstation 12.5 Hi after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10, vmware is now not starting.

Textbook recommendation for computational physics Joining multiple records to single feature using QGIS I'm trying to create a join/relate in QGIS where I have a shapefile of buildings and to that I would like to join a non-spatial table (.csv-file) containing people who work in each building. So I have multiple records in my table that I would like to be able to join to my single features in my shapefile. I can only run a join in QGIS where the first record is joined to the shapefile feature (ie building) but subsequent records get removed. Could someone let me know how to complete this join/relate in QGIS? US Customs when coming through Canada I have an upcoming trip where I will be flying to and from Copenhagen, through Toronto.
