Bedfordshire clanger episode 8 of Series 8 of "The Great British Bake Off". Bedfordshire clanger The Bedfordshire clanger, also called the Hertfordshire clanger, Trowley Dumpling, or simply the clanger, is a dish from Bedfordshire and adjacent counties in England, such as Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. It dates back to at least the 19th century. The word "clanger" is related to the dialect term "clung", which Joseph Wright glossed as meaning "heavy", in relation to food. The clanger is an elongated suet crust dumpling, sometimes described as a savoury type of roly-poly pudding. It was traditionally boiled in a cloth like other suet puddings,
Filling factor Filling factor Filling factor, formula_1, is a quantity measuring the efficiency of absorption of pump in the core of a double-clad fiber. The efficiency of absorption of pumping energy in the fiber is an important parameter of a double-clad fiber laser. In many cases this efficiency can be approximated with where The filling factor may depend on the initial distribution of the pump light, the shape of the cladding, and the position of the core within it. The large (close to unity) filling factor is important in double-clad amplifiers; it allows them to reduce the requirements for the brightness of
