Trainz/Industries and Products

=Industry Flowchart= The TRS2004 and TRS2006 manuals include a very useful flowchart which shows the possible routings of products between the built-in industries, for example indicating that logs can be loaded at forestries and unloaded at lumber mills and seaports.

This flowchart can be found in section 9.3 of the TRS2004 Engineers Handbook and section 12.11.3 of the TRS2006 manual.

The flowchart excludes the "Multiple Industry" industries since they can be configured to behave as desired. It also naturally excludes any non-built-in industries and products.

Unfortunately both copies of the flowchart have the following misprints:
 * An arrow should be added from General Goods to Airport.
 * The arrow from 20/40ft Containers to Airport should be deleted.
 * The arrow from Crude Oil to Airport should be deleted.

=Industry Compatible Rolling Stock= When placing rolling stock in Surveyor, each item of rolling stock has a thumbnail image in the rolling stock righthand panel. If the item is compatible with the built-in industry system, it will have an "IND" icon in its thumbnail. Only rolling stock with the IND icon will operate with the built-in industries.

To explore which products a rolling stock item can carry, place it on a track in Surveyor, click the question mark button in the rolling stock righthand panel, then click the vehicle. A dialogue box will appear and its various options can be explored.

=Loading And Unloading= Each industry has a separate length of track for each of its inputs and outputs. Multiple Industries New is the raw track, BI2 (bi2) grain, gravel etc are prepackaged instances of LARS enabled track and are much easier to use.

Some industries only have inputs, some only have outputs, some have both. Sometimes there are two separate loading/unloading sections and the track in between is already in place as part of the industry.

In some cases trains must be stopped in order for products to be loaded or unloaded. If there are more wagons than will fit in the relevant section of track, the train must be moved along in stages.

In other cases trains must continue to move but at a slow speed in order for products to be loaded or unloaded.

Unloading depends on the wagons having suitable products to unload, and the industry having space to accept them.

Loading depends on the wagons having space, and the industry having the goods available.

Industry production depends on the industry having sufficient goods in its goods inwards area and space in its goods outwards area. There is also an option to make some industries also dependent on an electricity supply.

=Additional Comments=

Basically products are associated with industries (special track) and wagons or coaches. They are generated or consumed by industries at a given rate that normally can be set in surveyor.

The config.txt file has product queues which control which products (kuids) can be loaded on each wagon or coach. Passengers are just a special case of product by the way.

Wagons and coaches have special points on the mesh that mean something to Trainz, a.bog0 and a.bog1 for example are the bogey attachment points.

If a load attachment point (a.load0 a.load1 etc) is present on the mesh then it can be referenced in the config.txt file by one of the product queues to say that if the product is present then attach this kuid to that attachment point. This gives you a visible load. In general if the attachment point is not present on the mesh then you can't get a visible load. However it is possible to create a second mesh, referenced in the config.txt file, which has the attachment point on so you can get a visible load to appear on a wagon that does not have load attachment points.

Bulk loads work by using a second mesh.

The various types of "Multiple Industry" industries can be configured to input and output various products.

LARS is a particular set of products that are designed to work smoothly together. For example by using LARS standard products for coal mines can ship coal that power stations etc recognise as coal. More details are available from Trainz Pro Routes, a third-party Trainz fansite.

Trainz/Hardware Requirements

Overview
Trainz is longest produced evolving series (or family) of railroad simulators, with no end in sight having released products for hand held devices and power computers in recent years. Every competitor to arise, but one faded in less than five years. The one survivor actually performs to a different niche and is but for one product unavailable outside of Japan. Another initially stole some market share by jumping in the high definition video, 64 bit processor technologies quicker, but have faded in sales because the simulator strictly constrains the creative side of the die hard railroad enthusiasts who still gather and build physical model railroads, but have bent more of their energies to club grade activity and creations on the Trainz series.

The following is an attempt at a realistic minimum set of hardware specifications for the various programs in the long series of Trainz simulators. It must be understood, that the system is extensible, and while newer versions have had improvements and better graphics, the series by and large can import assets from a previous earlier version into the newer software, albeit sometimes with minor patching. The Trainz database system using a coding system called 'kuid' tagging (a unique identifier for an object), not only allows one to select compatible extensions, but also to select and get a more recent version as the code contains version controls as well. With any of the fully capable products (A few driver only versions have been produced) a large subset of the 100,000 plus items (assets) on the manufacturers Download Station servers are available for free to extend the purchasers railroading experience. The server automatically blocks downloads of assets that are too evolved for compatibility with the users Trainz version.

TRS2012 with Speedtree technology and picture like realism is the first of the series to fully break backwards compatibility by additional graphics demands and requiring added graphical or data elements to be defined and the million strong Trainz user community has been busily upgrading old assets to the new more demanding graphical needs since the programs release in late 2011, rapidly uploading fixed '12 compatible assets. TRS2010 supported both the older technologies in compatibility mode, and was able to exploit a computer with 64 bit architecture, which is required to run both the next generations, TRS2012 and TRS2013 Trainz simulators.

In running simulator software, the aim is to display a high enough number of frames per second so the trains movement looks realistic. Normally 24 fps is used as a benchmark target for films so that can be used as a reference standard. Flicker is noticeable to the human visual senses at about 15-16 fps. The Trainz experience looks best with a monitor, video card and microprocessor architecture which can support frame rates towards the higher film end of the continuum. Context switching, or the execution speed to update to an entirely different part of the railway is a second concern, but a fast video system and processor capable of switching to a scene 20-60 miles away without noticeable pause is desirable.

The forum has some hardware benchmarking threads so different machines can be compared.`The results of these measures, performed by a critical audience we report below.

Trainz on Windows
Trainz utilizes millions of calculations and code which must produce a rotatable, angle changeable moving view presented as a three dimensional surrounding along a line of sight (not just a single picture) at a particular altitude and angle that looks as natural as possible and is unsurprisingly, also very dependent on the video card and the amount of memory on the machine. A 1.83 Ghz—2.4 GHz Pentium 4 cpu (produced in 2000) with 2 gigs of memory and an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 GT or GeForce Go 7600, or ATI 850 XT PE video card will give acceptable performance at the low end for versions prior to TRS2009. Long routes or medium sized layouts with a lot of activity will tax that into some hesitations and occasional jitter or slight delays when asked to change the frame of reference, but are overall still quite playable. Setting the default Resource cache size in the Options settings to 256 or 512 pages will ease many visual flickers in older systems. Auran has claimed running Trainz on a laptop is neither recommended nor supported, but it's (both TRS2004/2006) been run successfully for four years on 'this mid-range laptop' (7 years old) with a 1.83 gHz early dual core processor and its built in GeForce Go 7600 video), though this system is sometimes taxed into minor stuttering an flickering on very large routes (layouts) when passing trains or a large yard or many AI Drivers load up the session's graphical demands.

 * Processor: With Windows XP 2.6GHz. With Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, probably something roughly twice as powerful. There is considerable debate as to whether or not Trainz makes effective use of multiple cores in dual or quad core processors. One SLI benchmark saw a small increase in performance when a dual core processor had one core disabled, others claim multiple cores are used. Given the basic program was written some time ago and the general feeling amongst programmers that writing code that can make effective use of multiple cores for gaming is difficult it is unlikely that Trainz can make use of more than one core.
 * RAM: With Windows XP at least 1GB. With Windows Vista at least 2GB. Adding RAM beyond these figures may or may not improve performance, depending on the layout. More complex layouts can make use of more memory. A major cause of stuttering is memory shortage, Trainz can make use of 2 gigs of memory, XP likes 512mb so 2.5 gigs of memory is the most that Trainz can make use of on a 32 bit version of XP. Running 64 bit Vista with 8 gigs of memory has given satisfactory performance for some users.
 * Video board: The program was written using OpenGL on nVidia video cards but runs well on ATI usually running directX. At least an nVidia 7300GT 256MB or equivalent. The nVidia GeForce Go 7600 GT preferably, though by 2013 standards, these are now both very old video technology. The power of the video board's processor is of critical importance to the performance of Trainz.
 * Hard disk: At least 10GB of free space. TRS2004 takes about 4GB to install. Other Hard Drive assets will be consumed by disk caching.

The program may run with a lower spec computer but only with likely stuttering. Even a much more powerful computer can struggle with a complex layout. Such effects are most evident in a complex yard where the graphics engine has to resolve complex track and scenery interactions.

Choice of content, both layout objects and variety of rolling stock, also affects performance; particularly when several variegated consists are within viewing distance. Some objects are significantly more visually complex than others. In addition a variety of different types of objects has far more effect on performance than multiple copies of the same type of object. For example, a train with fifteen identical coal wagons will have less impact on performance than a train with fifteen different types of wagons.

Trainz on MAC
Trainz appears to require Macs with nVidia or ATI graphics chipsets. The game launches on systems with Intel integrated graphics chipsets, e.g. Intel GMA X3100, but the simulator will crash, presumably due to lack of OpenGL features. (See PC graphics hardware requirements, above.)

Trainz Driver on iOS
Apples' iOS, formerly iPhone OS allows users to run applets that use a cut down version of Trainz without Surveyor, download manager and the like. It has been extended to support other Apple devices such as the iPad and Apple TV.

Trainz Driver on Android
Trainz driver on Android requires an Android Tablet with Tegra 2. It is not compatible with Android based smartphones, but has been reported to run fine on the original Kindle.

Trainz/Installation Under Microsoft Windows

Introduction & Historical overview
Trainz 2009 (TS09), 2010 (TS10), and 2012 (TS12) are post Windows Vista/Windows 7 operating system editions, for the purposes of most computers, the unsuccessful Windows Vista has such narrow coverage and is so similar to Windows 7 and Windows 8, herein they are three normally considered and discussed identically. Generally speaking, since the Trainz Classics Trainz new release software is offered directly by the Auran.com store and online retailers, notably Amazon.com. The three TSxx releases incorporate modern local FTP data management in download managers, and the DVD disks install with little trouble and update with nearly as little trouble compared to installing Trainz 2004 and Trainz 2006 then adding service packs.
 * The TRS2009 release was the first wherein N3V got the upgrade software to automatically work properly, so since then all releases are essentially turn-key, except for decisions like what directory folder one wants a version installed into. THAT it happens, is major decision for working with Trainz Data, requires a lot of folder access, and depending upon the operating system biases, where things are put can cost time or save time and make things easy to locate.  Concurrently, there is the disk drive choice for systems with more than one SSD or hard drive.
 * Last, but not least, Temporarily disabling firewalls and protection software is strongly recommended during initial installation, as should disk indexing utilities to Trainz directories. Data comes and goes too often when imputing new assets or editing old ones to allow the disk indexing software to index temporary files--it just slows down functionality of the computer. We'll cover these below.

TANE and TRS19
TANE and TRS19 are offered almost exclusively by digital download and are mostly turn key operationally before and after installation. They also support separation of data and program folders, so have flexibility unknown in earlier Trainz.
 * In IOS systems, go with the defaults. We can't advise you.
 * In Windows 7 or earlier, recommend installing to a root directory on one or another hard drive once removed. That means having a root 'N3V' or 'Auran' folder at the root level, then various Trainz installs within its utility as a root.
 * In Windows 8 and Windows 10, you want a root folder accessible via a Library (which can optionally be used in Windows 7, as well). These later Windows try to steer one into a AppData folder on the C: drive, and if you are going to go with C:, make a folder in your documents and use that as a root with subfolders by install (something simple but unique like: TR06-SP1, TR06-TC3, TS09-0, TS10-1, TS10-2, TS12ST TS12PW, TS12-0, TANE etc.)

TS2009-TS2012
As noted above N3V managed to work the kinks out of internet software delivery by mid-TS2009, and the flaws before that plateau were failing to auto-update to new hotfixes or service packs issues, not to install basics. Based on the advice above, determine an installation folder, and just go with the automatic install. These have a common root folder for data and program software, as does everything preceding their releases.

TRS & TC series
These packages are all based on the JET2 game engine and operate very similar, with the same general data arrangements, except TRS2004 had an open folder architecture for added assets that is good for finding assets to modify... you can just look around. The compressed data was built elsewhere than in a common database index file, assets.tdx. This file by the way, is still common to all releases.

Trainz 2004 and Trainz 2006 were Window XP releases written before Windows Vista was released, and initially seemed to experience some compatibility issues which remained unresolved by Auran (now N3V, though still utilizing Auran as a registered Trademark) for some time. In point of fact these were not problems with Trainz, but manifestations of a more general issue with the Windows Data Structure Model and the way the operating system, as the family evolved was written to allow multiple users use the same computer with their own private 'User' run time environment with expected 'privacy fences' in the corporate world. These issues became even more severe under the release of Windows 7 and Windows 8, each of which catered further to the corporate desire to have strict controls on the users access to data and program installation over the interests of mere home users of personal computers. In a nutshell, in the corporate world, the Windows Data Model assumes a shared data area, private user data areas (...\Documents and Settings\Users\User name\Desktop\Documents etcetera under \Desktop with some run time data, usually customizations for users for such as word processors or spreadsheet default setups under \User name\Application Data\ Software suite names.

Once the interplay of Windows versus Trainz software was recognized, Auran/N3V adapted: Trainz classics and Trainz 2009 were formulated to drop the animated loader launched lead-in 'splash screen' video as Trainz loaded itself in memory and so became more compatible with Windows Vista and successors. The older Trainz releases loading issues were solved by properly setting a configuration. Note in the next section how installing an options switch in the software suites (.ini style) initialization file Trainzoptions.txt to disable the video was the most critical fix in the older best sellers of the family.

The true secret to avoiding problems with the corporate biases of Windows is to run everything as The Administrator, including setting even the check-box click settings Properties in the new style Desktop shortcuts and in ...users\username\start menu\Program Files\... shortcuts to run as Administrator. Failing this measure, you may find yourself uninstalling Trainz then reinstalling it. Be aware that such steps are The surest and best way is to
 * The Secret of Avoiding Permissions problems
 * 1) Set a System Restore point;
 * 2) reboot the computer before any installing software on Windows after XP-SP3;
 * 2a) As an option, before rebooting run msconfig.exe and disable everything in the startup keys but keyboard, mouse, video, and network support. (This is the best way to do [4] below; satisfies the need the best way as also turns off things like skype, dropbox, updates monitoring, etc.— all the little parasite utilities that such up machine cycles and memory, freeing both for the installation of what is likely the most complicated software package any common individual is likely to own.)
 * 3) LOG IN AS ADMINISTRATOR, using the Administrator default environment, desktop, etc.
 * 4) Windows installations will establish a secure HTTPS connection, so defensive/protection software will just slow things down that will take a lot of time regardless. Disable (temporarily) any defensive software such as anti-malware and anti-virus checkers, especially. Both try to vett new data written to your hard drive, and you're installing complex binary packed files from the manufacturer. Not a security issue. Feel free to leave web browser security plugins enabled—but find a good book, watch television and otherwise plan to leave the computer alone for a while.
 * 5) find the downloaded installer file, right-click-drag on the drop down menu to run as Administrator; (sound familiar?)
 * 5a) If you have two or more hard disc drives (HDD) it is best to install Trainz to a different drive than Windows. This will aid context swapping as Windows TEMP files, caches and swap files will be on the other drive and writing data 'drive to drive' is far faster than writing place to place within the same HDD.
 * 5b) It is best to install Trainz directly off the ROOT of the target HDD —you will find manipulating assets in Trainz sometimes requires editing files and you will save tons of time having them several directory folders higher in the folder hierarchy.
 * 6) Be advised Trainz base install can take a while (1/2 to 2 hours), but software updates, including some that want to auto-launch when you next run Trainz can take 4-5 times that duration as the data base must sometimes be converted.
 * 6a) Launch any updates when ready for bed, or you won't miss the computer for a while as with the install. Since these trigger in succession, Trainz may ask you to install available 'updates' a number of times in succession, after each launch. The messages issued is minimal an quite inadequate for lengthy updates (particularly for new customers) and the consequent confusion is large, even to those of us familiar with some of the less professional Auran/N3V behaviors.

Consider an update an new install
As a further good practice to avoid troubles, while installing any Trainz from DVD or the cloud, or running Content Manager for a large download of free assets, temporarily disable antivirus, and Anti-malware scanner software and any such monitoring software that scans files and generally slows down the data streaming process. This suggestion does not include disabling the parts of Anti-malware and Anti-virus browser extensions of your browser if you're installing or reinstalling a Trainz version using the browser to access a purchase at the Auran.com store or a third party reseller such as Amazon.com, where in fact the first thing you download is a download manager which will establish a fast download path using FTP protocols ahead of actually downloading and launching the Trainz self-installer. Browser plug-in and extensions management will generally be accessible via Tools>Options>Advanced, but vary browser to browser. Disabling such may speed the download of the download manager, but when launched it is not using the browser facilities at all, so little benefit accrues from such a step.

Quality Anti-Malware and Anti-Virus software will generally have the feature under properties of suspending their monitoring for various time periods, up to and including the next time you reboot; select a period of an hour or two, but stay off your browser.

Installation
This step is to free up resources and minimize cycle stealing by background processes for the Trainz data base initialization is both memory and processor intensive.
 * Set a System Restore Point as follows:
 * In XP — Click
 * a. > Programs > Accessories > System Tools, and then click System Restore.     If this method does not show a shortcut for Restore, try instead
 * b. > Run [type Restore][Enter] which should open the Restore folder, click 'rstrui.exe' to launch system Restore. The System Restore Wizard opens. Instruct it to set a Restore Point, name it something like: 'Before Installing Trainz 20xx'.
 * In 7 and Windows 8 — Click
 * a. > Control Panel > Recovery  — then  'restore your files' in the left pane (looks like a hyperlink)

 * Now close unnecessary resource stealing memory resident launchers and monitoring kernels. About the only thing needed that will not get in the way to some extent is the Applications kernels controlling your internet access, and your video control such as graphics card settings control panel launcher. These are passive settings facilities and do not consume significant resources.
 * An alternative to the below one by one method would be to run the MSCONFIG utility (Start>Run>[msconfig][Enter]) and disable these memory resident kernels by specifying they not be initialized upon rebooting, then rebooting. This method has the objection that you might forget to re-enable such, whereas the below, will resume normal operation, the next time you reboot.
 * Do close Scheduling software—including the many auto-check for updates kernels, power management software, system health management software such as Advanced System Care and any disk or games optimizers, cloud synchronization software such as Dropbox and most other quick launch printer or graphic program resident software's memory resident kernels such as GIMP, Photoshop, Solid Works, as are listed in the lower right quick launch bar of Windows near the clock display. These are accessible through their properties: Right-Click-Hold until they open a drop down menu and then by dragging to options, or exit or suspend as the applet provides as options. A left click will usually launch the application or open a control window, so would be counterproductive.
 * It is especially important during the install, and for a while after while the Trainz database cranks in self-checks and checks for updates to disable Anti-virus and Anti-malware scanning software, and file indexing software. Once the download manager expands the Trainz loader, the installation will for a time use up to 100% of CPU cycles, and you may see an alert to that effect from Windows. This is normal.
 * These are all 'start up' loaded facilities which will be restored by rebooting. When you are ready to install, only one to three kernal's should still be showing in the quick launch bar, in particular your internet kernal.

-intro=disable Save the modified file. The procedure is identical for TRS2004 except for the folder name. This step may be omitted in Vista and later Windows releases if you set administrator permissions as follows.
 * Before installing Trainz, right-click the setup.exe file, open the properties applet, and select the option to "Run As Administrator". (Skip under Windows XP)
 * Before installing Trainz, have ready to hand either from the boxed DVD sticker or by copying from the web download service your twenty digit 'serial number' installation key. If you have previously registered a version of Trainz, you'll also want your Trainz user ID as occurs in kuid codes for content you have created. A scrap of note paper is suggested, for the key code cannot be easily cut and pasted in place, as each field must be entered in four digit groups.
 * After installation, disable the Trainz intro video. To do this in TRS2006, open ...\Auran\TRS2006\trainzoptions.txt in Notepad. Be sure to use Notepad or a similar text file editor such as Notepad++ which is available online as a Freeware program under GNU licensing. Don't use Microsoft Works or Microsoft Word, or any software classed as a word processor; these place control codes and formatting embedding formatting data within the text content. This is a general rule for all .ini type files, and once you begin to create content, you will find Trainz has one for each asset called 'config.txt'.
 * Anywhere in the Trainzoptions.txt initialization file, add the following command on a line of its own and exactly as it is here:

Installation path choices
You can specify where you want the Trainz application to install early during the setup wizard operations.
 * Older releases of Trainz will usually default-install to ...\Program Files\Auran\TRS20xx; newer releases to ...\Program Files\N3V\TRS20xx (or \TS20xx); because many asset files sometimes need tweaked by hand editing many experienced Trainzers install to X:\N3V\... to have a much shortened pathname under the X:\N3V\TRS20xx\editing\assetFolderName pathname when editing in an asset folder, which then may better fit inside a multitab/multiwidow editor like Notepad++, or by accessing files on a browser.

Run everything as The Administrator
This section is inapplicable to Windows XP, but necessary under all later Windows operating systems.
 * Set Trainz so as to run as administrator, as follows. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the ...\TRS20xx\bin folder.
 * For each of the .EXE files in that folder, right-click the file and in Properties select the "Run As Administrator" option.
 * Failure to do so, may result in odd unexpected behavior, not least of which is the phenomenon of opening an asset for edit, then not being able to see the contents of the folder under the ...\editing folder.

Resolving Problems
If you are experiencing problems running Trainz, start by downloading and installing the latest drivers, especially those for the video board. These can usually be obtained from the manufacturer's web site.

 * Also download and install the latest version of DirectX from Microsoft's web site.
 * Maximize your Windows swap file and give precedence to programs running in the foreground as follows:
 * Start>Settings>Control Panel>System>Advanced (tab); Click 'Performance', select the second Advanced Tab
 * Check off Programs under Processor Scheduling
 * Check off Programs under Memory usage (If you use a lot of [ALT]-[TAB] switching under other applications, leave this one alone.)
 * Click on [CHANGE] button under Virtual Memory, check off Custom size and set 'Initial Size' to at least 2048 Mbytes; set 'Maximum size' to 3076 Mbytes.
 * Click on Okay at each level until you return to the normal windows.
 * Use My Computer or Start>Run>[C:\][Enter] to open up the Windows drive, and right-click hold or [ALT][Enter] to open the HDD properties. Check and make sure you have at least 20% of the hard disk for Windows and browsers to use for caching, and if not, consider adding additional hard disk drives or an SSD.

Trainz/Installing Service Packs

Trainz service packs update the program so as to fix known bugs and usually also add additional features. Each major release version of Trainz has its own set of service packs. Service packs are free of charge when downloaded via the Internet via Auran.com.

 * The last service pack for Trainz 1.1 was SP3, creating Trainz 1.3, under which most later sales took place.

 * The last service pack released for TRS2004 is SP4.

 * The only service pack released for TRS2006 is SP1. This is not available for the French and German/East European editions. For those editions, separate full-priced versions of TRS2006 which include SP1 are available. These are called TRS2007 or TRS2008.

 * The three Trainz Classics releases are TRS2006 with different bundled content but SP1 preinstalled, so will not be upgraded by means of service packs.

 * TRS2009 had three Service Packs

 * TRS2010 had two

 * TRS2012 has one, but will be issuing at least one more after May 2013.

Unlike most modern software, there was no option within Trainz until TRS2009 to check for updates, then auto-download and install them. Instead, because of the advanced nature of the data base software, the entire process has to be performed manually. TRS2009—TRS2012 will inform you that an update is available. Monitoring the Web Board at Auran.com, particularly the "What's New" forum will advise you of pending releases or newly available updates, including any Hot Fixes.

Before applying a service pack, backup all the assets you have created yourself or downloaded; these will generally reside in \local and \libraries folders. There is a definite risk of losing these assets during the service pack installation, particularly in TRS2006.

Before downloading a service pack, run Trainz and make a note of the build number displayed on the program's main menu, lower right hand corner. This uniquely defines the version, regional edition and service pack level.
 * When downloading a service pack, the first number in the filename of the service pack file must match your build number. The slightest discrepancy in these numbers will cause the service pack installation to fail.
 * The second number in the filename is the build number that will result after successfully installing the service pack.

 * Some service packs can be downloaded from Auran's web site. Service packs for some regional editions of Trainz can be downloaded from the distribution company for the relevant country, for example'' 'Just Trains' for the United Kingdom. Some Trainz fansites also make some service packs available to their members.

Be sure to also obtain the full instructions for installing the service pack. It is absolutely vital to follow those instructions in every precise detail without omitting any of the steps. SP1 for TRS2006 is particularly unforgiving and will fail if there is the slightest deviation from the instructions.

Pro Engineer/View

The view of a model can be manipulated using only the middle mouse button of a scrolling mouse.

Pressing the middle mouse button (MMB) and dragging the cursor will spin the model. The action is analogous to placing your hand on the model and rolling it across the background - the near part of the model moves with the cursor.

Using the scroll wheel zooms in and out. Scrolling down pulls the MODEL towards you - imagine pulling the scroll wheel towards you - and scrolling up does the opposite. (This action is the opposite of many applications like online maps programs, and even other CAD programs).

You can also use the scroll wheel to pan, but this takes some practice. Move the cursor to the side of the screen you want to pan away from & zoom out (scroll up), then move the cursor to the other side of the screen and zoom in (scroll down).

Ancient History/Rome/Introduction

Rome was one of the first great international powers in the world. While it was founded by the wealthy citizens of one small Italian city-state, its political system eventually embraced Spaniards and Syrians, Gauls and Greeks, Celts and Copts. In the later period of Rome's history, emperors were drawn from all over the empire: Philip the African came from modern-day Morocco; Hadrian came from Spain; Elagabulus came from Syria; Constantine the Great was born in Britain.

The city of Rome itself was founded sometime between 850 and 700 BC (traditional date is 753 BC), and it remained a minor town for a hundred years after that. The Etruscans, whose confederation of towns to the north lends its name to the modern Italian province of Tuscany, took over the city relatively peacefully around 640 BC, and a series of kings governed the town for more than a century thereafter. The kings made a number of investments in the city's infrastructure, including the construction of a wall, a drain to clear water from the Roman Forum, a wooden bridge over the River Tiber, and a temple to Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill.

In 509 BC, the Romans grew tired of Etruscan rule, and expelled their king, Tarquin Superbus, from the city. They established a Republic, which ruled Rome for the next four centuries. The Republic was in essence a broad oligarchy, with the city's aristocrats dominating politics, economics and social life. However, the Romans developed effective military and foreign policies, which enabled them to conquer first Italy, and enter into conflict with Carthage for control of the western Mediterranean Sea.

By 100 BC, the Republic was fracturing. Powerful men secured military commands and governorships abroad that brought them great wealth, but oppressed both foreigners and Roman citizens. Conflicts arose regularly between the aristocrats and the common people, with the middle class holding a precarious balance of power between them. Eventually, the system splintered, and two different gatherings of three powerful men, the Triumvirates, ruled Rome to their own advantage. Both Triumvirates ended in civil wars. In the end one man, Octavian Caesar, ruled Rome alone. His accession to power marked the downfall of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.

Octavian took the title Augustus, and ruled from 27 BC to 14 AD. In his forty-one years in power, he reorganized the military, regularized the bureaucracy and the coinage, and brought the Mediterranean world under a single law. It was a spectacular achievement, but it was not achieved without grave costs. Augustus established the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace, throughout the western world, but never established a formal system for emperors to choose and acknowledge their successors. The result was a continuing struggle for power at the center, and the Roman army regularly intervened in political matters.

As with any civilization, the Roman Empire experienced periods of decline and renewal over the next four hundred years. A number of ancient historians have passed down stories from the lives of the Emperors that make for both dignified and salacious reading, and archeology has revealed much of the life of the Roman world. In 79 AD, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in southern Italy buried two whole Roman towns, Pompeii and Herculaneum. Historians and archaeologists gained a valuable snapshot of life in the Roman Empire. Excavations at other sites have revealed additional information.

In the end, Rome's internal decline coincided with the rising ambitions of its neighbors. Beginning in the early 5th century AD, a series of invasions broke the Empire's long-standing border defenses, and huge populations of Germanic peoples swept through the western half of the Empire. While the eastern Empire continued as the Byzantine Empire until 1453 AD, the western Empire was overrun. In 476 AD, the last Emperor in Rome, Romulus Augustulus, abdicated under pressure from a German general named Odoacer, who named himself King of Italy.

Geography
The boot-shaped Italian peninsula should be familiar to most readers. Italy has few natural harbors, and a spine of steep mountains, the Apennine range, runs north to south through the peninsula. In the north, the Apennines jag to the west, creating a natural basin for the Po River valley to travel from west to east. North of the Po valley, the Alps scrape the sky, their high and snow-covered peaks creating a relative isolation within Italy itself.

=Rome's Geography=

The Tiber River
Rome sat on the eastern shore of the Tiber River, at the only easy crossing place between the river mouth and the mountains. Seven hills rose there out of low and marshy ground. By the beginning of the ninth century BCE, these seven hills were occupied by village communities who kept farms in the low-lying areas and retreated to their hilltops for defense.

The fording place on the river lay below a large island that was later dedicated to the Greek god of healing, Asclepius. Sometime in the sixth century BCE, the romans under the direction of their Etruscan kings built a wooden bridge over the Tiber at this point, facilitating communications between northern and southern Italy, and joining the Etrurian confederation to the Greek colonial cities in the district of Magna Graecia.

The Seven Hills
Archaeology suggests that Rome began as a confederation of villages on the seven hills of Rome: the Capitoline, Palatine, Aventine, Viminal, Quirinal, Esquiline, and the Caelian. The low-lying ground between them was swampy and malarial. Yet the presence of a natural fording place gave Rome some unusual advantages. Once the seven villages united, and invested the time in constructing an early wall around their territory, they could charge a toll for the use of the ford (and later the bridge). This was to prove an early source of Rome's wealth. Graves dating from the ninth and eighth centuries BCE suggest two common forms of burial in the area: cremation graves are clustered in Rome's Forum or marketplace, with a smattering of inhumations around them; a much larger cemetery lay in the valley between the Esquiline and Viminal hills.

Tradition and myth provides a much more interesting, if less likely, story of Rome's founding. One of the Vestal Virgins of the nearby town of Alba Longa had a sexual encounter with the god Mars, and bore Romulus and Remus, twin sons who catalyzed the fortification of a small urban area in what is now Rome.

Capitoline
Capitoline hill has deep roots in Roman history as its existence is acknowledged in the stories concerning the founding of Rome.

Sphingolipids
Implications of Shotgun Lipidomics

Shotgun lipidomic research was implemented for characterizing and quantizing sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and dihydrosphingosine-1-phosphate (DHS1P), with the use of precursor ion scanning of m/z 79.0 (corresponding to [PO3]-) in the negative-ion mode. S1P and DHS1P analysis was conducted on crude lipid extracts, in the presence of ammonium hydroxide. This particular approach produced a broad linear dynamic range and a detection limit at low amol/µl concentration for both S1P and DHS1P, and proved to be a simpler and more efficient method for the quantitative analysis of sphingoid base-1-phosphates than any other previously published method. The extensively examined factors that influence sphingoid base-1-phosphate quantization included ion suppression, extraction efficiency, and the potential overlapping with other molecular species. S1P and DHS1P mass levels were determined in samples of human plasma, mouse plasma, and mouse brain tissues. This new methodology is predicted to be an exceedingly useful tool for understanding sphingolipid metabolic pathways, as well as the contributions of sphingoid base-1-phosphates to future physiological and pathological research.

The specific biological analytes for the experiment were human plasma, mouse plasma, and mouse spinal cord and brain tissue extract, which included samples from the cortex, cerebellum and brain stem. Human plasma was sampled from healthy individuals ranging from sixty to seventy years of age. The resultant average yields of mass contents from the plasma of seven humans were 703 and 327 pmol/ml. In addition, researchers claim that their experimental results are the first to indicate the presence of S1P and DHS1P in the mouse tissue analytes. There were also substantial amounts of S1P and DHS1P found in mouse plasma that was believed to reflect sphingoid base-1-phosphate release from platelets, during blood coagulation. S1P and DHS1P levels of distribution were as follows, in the order of decreasing sphingolipid content: spinal cord, brain stem, cerebellum, and the cortex. S1P receptors were reported as being predominantly expressed in brain white matter, rat cerebellum and cerebellar granule cells, and astrocytes. Consequently, the parallel distribution of S1P and DHS1P to S1P receptor levels of expression indicates an interdependence between sphingoid base-1-phosphate ligands and their receptors.

Quantitatively analytical advantages of the experimental method implemented in this experiment include the ability for researchers to avoid using radioisotopes, chromatographic separation, and chemical derivatization, to obtain structural information of sphingoid base-1-phosphates, and to simultaneously detect S1P and DHS1P. Although, there may be some interference of this method if a phosphate-containing lipid molecular species possesses an identical m/z to S1P and/or DHS1P, such interference is already considered negligible, when attributed to overlapping phosphate-containing lipid molecular species that are present in mammalian samples. This unique methodology applied to shotgun lipidomics is expected to provide a myriad of uses for future physiological and pathophysiological research.

Lipids and Membrane Structure

Source: http://www.rpi.edu/dept/bcbp/molbiochem/MBWeb/mb1/part2/lipid.htm

Main focus:

This website details the structure of lipid membranes of living cells. It describes the chemical

makeup and the mobility of the lipid bilayer and the factors that affect membrane fluidity. The

site goes on to describe the various types of proteins that can be associated with lipid

membranes and the sugar chains that may extend from them.

Terms:

ceramide - group of amides formed by linkage of a fatty acid to sphingosine, a lipid which has

a long hydrocarbon tail and a polar domain containing an amino group. http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=5497136

Eukaryotic Cells Contain Compartments Bounded by Internal Membranes http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?highlight=12.7&rid=stryer.section.1698

This source goes into great detail about membrane and membrane structure of both cells and

cellular organelles. It discusses the various types of membrane lipids and how lipids are made

up of fatty acids and even dives into fatty acid nomenclature. The site also describes both

membrane permeability and mobility of its components.

Terms:

amphipathic - molecule containing both polar and nonpolar domains.

sonication - agitation of particles through the use of sound energy.

SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - technique used to separate proteins based on

molecular weight.

fluorescence recovery after photobleaching - technique used to visualize the lateral movement

of membrane proteins.

periplasm - the region between the two membranes containing the cell wall.

Connection:

In our course sequence we have talked about membrane components at the molecular level

and described the membrane's fluidity and permeability, which is what this source discusses in

depth. This online textbook also teaches how fluidity is affected by cholesterol and fatty acid

content, which we discussed in class.

Online Source #3:

Membrane Structure and Function

Source: http://cellbio.utmb.edu/cellbio/membrane_intro.htm

Main Focus:

This site starts by introducing the history of how the structure of cell membranes was deduced

and the various models that were proposed. It then discusses the present-day model and the

structure of the fatty acids that make up the membrane bilayer. It describes how fatty acid

structure, cholesterol and temperature all effect the fluidity of membranes. Finally, it goes on to

describe the proteins and glycolipids that can be associated with the membrane.

Terms:

microaggregate - a microscopic particle collection.

microdomain - a lipid raft fortified with cholesterol that occurs in cell membranes.

oligosaccharide - a saccharide polymer made up of 3-10 sugars.

osmium tetroxide - a chemical used to stain and fix lipids.

glycosphingolipids - a sphingolipid containing glucose or galactose. http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=9547206

Connection:

This website describes the makeup of the lipid bilayer, explaining the molecular structure of

the fatty acids it consists of. We talked about the cellular membrane structure in our course

sequence. In class we also talked about the factors that affect the fluidity of the membrane,

something this site goes into immense detail about.

Alteration of viral lipid composition by expression of the phospholipid floppase ABCB4 reduces HIV vector infectivity

Source: http://www.retrovirology.com/content/pdf/1742-4690-5-14.pdf

Main Focus:

This research involved studying the effect that a viral membrane lipid, phosphatidyl choline

(PC), had on HIV infection efficiency. The study was done by using aphosphatidyl choline (PC)

floppase protein that is responsible for transporting PC from the inner to the outer membrane

layer, ABCB4 protein. By utilizing this ability of the ABCB4 protein, the authors were able to

manipulate the lipid composition of the HIV vector and compare its infection efficiency to that

of an unmodulated vector. The results showed that virus made in the presence of ABCB4

showed a large increase in PC membrane composition and a reduced infectivity compared to

the control.

Terms:

lentiviral - genus of slow viruses of the Retroviridae family that have a long incubation period.

transfection - introduction of foreign material into a cell through the use of a virus vector.

Western blot - technique used to detect a specific protein in a tissue sample homogenate or

extract.

sonication - agitation of particles through the use of sound energy.

chemokine - cytokines produced during inflammation that activate white blood cells.

Connection:

This study relates to what we have talked about in class in that it revolves completely around

a specific membrane lipid. Since we have talked about the various lipids that make up a cell

membrane, this study is relevant to what we have learned. We also studied the movement of

lipids within a membrane, which is what was used to set up this experiment.

Peer-Reviewed Article #2:

Seminal Plasma Proteins Regulate the Association of Lipids and Proteins Within Detergent-Resistant Membrane Domains of Bovine Spermatozoa

Source: http://www.biolreprod.org/cgi/rapidpdf/biolreprod.107.066514v1

Main Focus:

This study focused on proteins within sperm membranes and how they direct the

reorganization of lipid rafts during sperm capacitation (the remodeling of sperm plasma

membrane while within female reproductive tract). Several proteins are associated with

cholesterol-enriched detergent-resistant membranes (DRM) domains in spermatozoa. In

capacitated sperm cells these proteins detach from these domains leading to the theory that

these domains may be involved in the reorganization of sperm membranes when cholesterol is

removed. The researchers isolated spermatozoa from bovine epididymis and isolated the DRM

domains and lipids so as to find the lipid:protein ratio. They examined the effects of seminal

plasma on the spermatozoa and found that it lowers the cholesterol concentration in DRM

domains and dissociates proteins from DRM domains. They concluded that seminal plasma

proteins induce lipid efflux and DRM protein dissociation.

Terms:

efflux - a flowing outward.

zona pellucida - thick, solid, transparent outer membrane surrounding a developing ovum.

densitometric - method of measuring the optical density of a material.

dialysis - Method used to separate smaller molecules from larger molecules or of dissolved

substances from colloidal particles in a solution by selective diffusion through a semipermeable

membrane.

acrosome - structure on a spermatozoon that produces enzymes used to penetrate an ovum.

Connection:

This study is relevant to our course in that it discusses factors that can affect plasma

membrane fluidity, specifically cholesterol, and how proteins are integrate into the bilayer. The

study also touches on the topic of lipid rafts, another area we went over in class.

Peer-Reviewed Article #3:

Erythrocyte Glutathione Depletion Impairs Resistance to Haemolysis in Women Consuming Alcohol

Source:

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pubmed&pubmedid=18231625

Main Focus:

This study focused on the effect alcohol has on women erythrocyte membranes. The study

involved taking blood samples from women who drink 200-300mL of alcoholic beverages

every day after work and comparing it to that of women who do not consume alcohol. The

results showed that women who consume alcohol have a decreased phospholipid

concentration and an increased cholesterol concentration resulting in overall decreased

membrane fluidity and a decrease in the ability of the erythrocytes to resist haemolysis.

Peroxidative damage to membranes was also observed.

Terms:

hemolysate - product from the lysis of red blood cells.

haemolysis - breakdown of red blood cells.

heparin - drug used to prevent blood clotting.

Catalase - blood enzyme that decomposes hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Methemoglobin - brownish-red, crystalline form of hemoglobin occurring when hemoglobin is

oxidized by blood decomposition or toxic agents.

Connection:

This study relates to our course work in that we discussed the effects of cholesterol

concentration on membrane fluidity. We also talked about free radical generation and how it

can lead to damage, something that was shown in the study to increase in women who drink.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tomrue. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tomrue~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Since this account is now part of the corresponding global account, you can continue using this nick. This account will not be automatically renamed. Savh (discuss • contribs) 15:18, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Ancient History/Mesopotamia/Introduction

The First Cities
By roughly 4000 BC, the lower plain of Mesopotamia was filled with city-states much like the ones we find later in Greece and Italy. Each city had a patron god and was ruled by a king. The political side of their history may be summarized by saying that for a period of almost three millennia, the written records of the cities of Euphrates and Tigris valley are annals of wars waged for supremacy by one city and its gods against other cities and their gods.

The First Empires
Of all the Mesopotamian city-states' kings whose names have been recorded, one stands out above the others: Sargon I, a Semitic king of Agade, whose reign was a great landmark in early Babylonian history. Reigning from 2334 BC to 2279 BC, he built up a powerful state in the area and extended his rule as far as the Mediterranean.

Yet, Sargon is as much remembered as a patron of letters as well as a warrior. He caused to be collected and edited the literature of the period, and deposited books in great libraries which he established or enlarged - the oldest and most valuable libraries of the ancient world.

Trade and Technology
New tools and techniques are always used to solve problems. As far as farming, animal taming and more. Special workers need and use tools the most so cities would improve the city and worlds technology.
