This is Cognation's Second Newsletter telling you about the new Mountain Biking Trails in South Wales and how to find out more about the Cognation project on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/cognation
The document summarizes a report on visits to flood affected areas in Bihar, India. Over 1 million people were left homeless after flooding from the Kosi river. The summary describes the scale of the disaster, relief efforts by the government and international organizations, observations from visiting relief camps, and suggestions provided in the report.
The document announces an oriental dance contest in Colombia organized by Bellyqueen Superstars, providing information on the event and contact details. It introduces the organizing team for the contest, which includes journalists and writers from several countries around the world. The team aims to showcase the fusion of Latin and Arab cultures through the magazine and dance competition.
This document contains recipes for dishes that can be made in a rice cooker, including Arroz Manolo (Spanish rice dish), Grandma's Chicken, Pumpkin and Rice Bavarian, and Cream of Watercress Soup. It also includes recipes for braised leg of lamb, braised pork shoulder, mussel soup, venison, shrimp bisque, and other main dishes and sides that utilize a rice cooker. The recipes provide ingredients and instructions for preparing each meal in a rice cooker.
This document outlines a three-step methodology for businesses from India to identify opportunities in the US market:
Step 1 involves identifying a specific market to target, whether large or niche. Step 2 is to analyze the business's strengths and weaknesses in relation to that market. Step 3 is to identify potential partner businesses in the US that have complementary strengths, such as US businesses with strong products but no distribution in the target market.
The document then discusses synergies between US and Indian businesses, with US strengths including capital, technology and quality products, and Indian strengths including labor, cultural knowledge and quality services. These combined strengths could create a powerful global business partnership.
Finally, the document promotes the 4th Annual USA India
The document discusses curriculum leadership and 21st century learning methods. It summarizes research showing that while U.S. student performance on standardized tests is high, they struggle with real-world problem solving. Initiatives like No Child Left Behind and programs assessing skills like PISA aimed to improve skills, but funding limited ability to fully incorporate 21st century testing. Challenges included adequately supporting diverse learners under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
This document provides an agenda for the 5th Annual Advocacy conference on July 14-15, 2016 in Baltimore, MD. The conference will focus on strengthening relationships between patient advocacy organizations and the pharmaceutical industry through effective communication and collaboration. Distinguished speakers from various pharmaceutical companies and patient advocacy groups will discuss topics such as measuring the success of advocacy relationships, engaging patients beyond treatment, and ensuring compliant collaborations. The agenda includes keynote speeches, case studies, panels, workshops, and networking activities designed to advance patient advocacy and define patient-centric approaches.
Hydrophobic sites on the surface of protein molecules are thoughtto have important functional roles. The identi鍖cation of such
sites can provide information about the function and mode of interaction with other cellular components. While the 鍖uorescence
enhancement of polarity-sensitive dyes has been useful in identifying hydrophobic sites on a number of targets, strong intrinsic
quenching of Nile red and ANSA dye 鍖uorescence is observed on binding to a cytochromec0. Fluorescence quenching is also
observedtotakeplaceinthepresenceofavarietyofotherbiologicallyimportantmoleculeswhichcancompromisethequantitative
determination of binding constants. Absorption di鍖erence spectroscopy is shown not to be sensitive to the presence of 鍖uorescence
quenchers but sensitive enough to measure binding constants. The dye BPB is shown to bind to the same hydrophobic sites
on proteins as polarity-sensitive 鍖uorescence probes. The absorption spectrum of BPB is also observed to be polarity sensitive.
A binding constant of 3106M1 for BPB to BSA has been measured by absorption di鍖erence spectroscopy. An empirical
correlation is observed between the shape of the absorption di鍖erence spectrum of BPB and the polarity of the environment. The
results indicate that absorption di鍖erence spectroscopy of BPB provides a valuable supplement to 鍖uorescence for determining
the presence of hydrophobic sites on the surface of proteins as well as a method for measuring binding constants.
This document discusses how digital technologies like simulations, games, and social networking can be leveraged in classrooms to enhance learning. It begins by describing how students already engage with these technologies outside of school in ways that mirror good learning practices like collaboration and problem-solving. The document then provides examples of digital games and simulations that have been used successfully for learning, both inside and outside educational contexts. It argues that these technologies allow new concepts to be taught in new interactive ways. Educators are encouraged to thoughtfully integrate these technologies into classrooms to better align school with how students already learn and keep pace with a changing world.
The document discusses trends in the global airline industry and provides a forecast for 2014. Key points include:
- Consolidation in the US airline industry may reduce consumer choice and could put upward pressure on fares, though weak demand will likely prevent steep fare increases.
- Overcapacity from major expansion by Gulf carriers could drive down prices on some routes to Africa, Europe and Asia Pacific. Rapid expansion to North America may also lower fares between North America and South Asia.
- US and European airlines are keeping capacity tight, but demand remains soft, meaning airfares will likely remain flat or see minimal increases in 2014. Latin America may see 2-3% increases.
