A easy way to clip over the area outside a path in matplotlib
See code in http://codepad.org/3I2wQrGF
it’s a copy from internet:
gcc fortran error
When using gcc fortran 4.6 to compile a fortran code with sequential reading, the following error occurs: Fortran runtime error: Sequential READ or WRITE not allowed after EOF marker, possibly use REWIND or BACKSPACE
Use fort77 command to compile it, error will disappear.

Update jabref from version 2.7 to 2.9
The default version of jabref of Linux Mint and Ubuntu now is 2.7, which can be easily installed from software manager.
If want to update to 2.9, a bad method is to download the jabref-2.9.jar and replace the *.jar in /usr/share/jabref/.

Thermocouple temperature emf converter (Type C thermocouple included) [Python subroutine]
Type C thermocouple is “weird”! Not many people use it and most emf2T converters available online do not include it. Moreover, I cannot find a standard polynomial expression to translate emf to T or vice verse.
The following python subroutine is able to make it. It is originally a copy from internet (Copyright (c) 2011, 2012 University of Toronto). I compensate type J, type T and type C into it. Input could be either a value or a list (array), which is useful for batch processing.
As I didn’t find standard coefficients for type C online, a 10 degree polynomial is used to fit the type C’s reference table, from which the parameters for type C in this subroutine are gotten.

Usually this means something has been left out of the setup, for instance a material property. If you cannot work out what generated the error I would remove the physics one bit at a time and see when the error disappears to identify where the problem comes from.
How to fix “AnyConnect was not able to establish a connection” or “VPN client driver encountered an error” Cisco AnyConnect VPN error messages
This post describes how to fix the following error messages when using Windows 8 Pro:
- AnyConnect was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway. Please try connecting again.
- The VPN client driver encountered an error. Please restart your computer or device, then try again.
The steps to fix this problem are as follows:
1. Edit a registry entry by running a program called regedit. Right-click on it and Run as administrator. Note that I use Start8, by Stardock, to have a Start button and menu. After you left-click on Run as administrator, your computer might ask you to enter the admin password.
2. Go to the appropriate VPN registry directory called Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vpnva
3. Double left-click the DisplayName key.
An Edit String pop-up window will appear.
The text under the Value data: field on my computer looked like this.
@oem20.inf,%vpnva_Desc%;Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
4. Change the field to
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
by removing all the text and characters that are on the left of the word Cisco.
The end result should look like this:
5. Left-click the ‘OK’ button.
6. Exit the Registry Editor
7. Run Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client and reconnect.
That’s all there is to it. Good luck!

Adjusting mesh size in ICEMCFD
1. Choose tab blocking > button pre-mesh params > edge params to set up mesh parameters as shown in the figure below.
2. Adjust nodes number to change mesh size and choose Mesh law to change meshing behavior. Use exponential 1 or 2 to produce mesh with gradual increasing/reducing size. Result is presented below.
