This document discusses the topic of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) and provides arguments for and against its use. It summarizes that fracking involves injecting fluid into shale rocks at high pressure to extract oil and gas, but produces large amounts of wastewater. While it can increase energy production, there are concerns about potential environmental and health impacts. The document examines various energy alternatives but concludes that while renewable energy sources like solar and wind can help, oil demand may be difficult to replace as global supply declines.
dMT-SPC dry protective coatings contain special components that create and maintain an optimal coefficient of friction between surfaces. The coatings are used on supporting trunnions and rings of kilns, dryers, mills and other rotating drum equipment to reduce wear. Different types of SPC blocks are inserted into applicators and mounted against trunnions, rings, tyres and thrust rollers to apply the coatings. Case studies show the SPC coatings provide maintenance-free operation.
The document discusses the concept of free and open source software. It explains that free software gives users the freedom to use, study, modify, and distribute software without restrictions. This freedom is important because like a bicycle or other possessions, users should have control over the software they purchase and use on their own computers. It then provides examples of free software operating systems like GNU/Linux and components like the GNU General Public License. It also lists several Indian organizations that support the free and open source software movement.
This document discusses computer system security and threats. It begins by comparing physical security of valuables to computer security, noting the goals of authorizing access. It then discusses securing computer hardware, data, and threats like denial of service, interception, and modification attacks. The document covers authentication methods like passwords, biometrics, and challenge-response. It also discusses software threats like Trojan horses, login spoofing, logic bombs, backdoors, buffer overflows, and viruses. It explains how viruses work and spread, and antivirus techniques like scanning. The overall document provides an overview of computer security concepts and threats.
This document outlines potential digital strategies for an international trade and investment organization to engage businesses online and leverage social media. It discusses 4 main strategies: 1) Building brand reputation through social media engagement. 2) Increasing mobile access. 3) Effectively engaging businesses online through platforms like LinkedIn and blogs. 4) Promoting open government and transparency through sharing information online. The organization aims to increase its brand profile, make connections with businesses, and take advantage of digital opportunities through a thoughtful social media presence.

The document introduces dMT Ecotech GmbH International and their innovative dMT-SPC Surface Protective Coatings System. The dMT-SPC coatings contain special components that create and maintain an optimal coefficient of friction between surfaces to reduce wear or increase traction on industrial manufacturing equipment. The coatings are applied to various conveying equipment components like crane wheels and rails, storage systems, and more using spring-loaded applicators.
This document provides an overview of key concepts in Pakistan's sales tax system, including:
1) Sales tax is collected at multiple stages of the supply chain from importers to manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers.
2) Liability for sales tax falls on the person making the supply or importing goods, with some exceptions.
3) There are different sales tax rates and rules for importers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers depending on their annual turnover.
4) The document outlines concepts like zero-rated supplies, exempt supplies, input tax adjustment, and registration requirements.

Tarry the pebble warrior felt smaller after being weathered by a stream. He then tamed a mountain lion as his companion and together they traveled through young and mature rivers, a forest, and old rivers, building a raft to cross a deep delta. Upon reaching a beach, Tarry accomplished his mission to return home to his emerald-encrusted pineapple rock, making the lion his friend.
From Performance to Health: Wearables for the Rest of Us.Amy Friel

Nokia's marketing director discusses the growing market for wearable devices beyond performance users, noting that while 50% of U.S. adults are already buyers or interested in wearables, the goal is to move the remaining 50% to the "playing field" by focusing on the significance of health data, simplicity of use, and attractive style of new wearable products.
This document provides an introduction to engineering design. It discusses how design involves both analysis and synthesis skills. Design can be viewed as an optimization process, but is complicated by factors like conflicting objectives, nonlinear relationships, and component variations. Requirements are important to guide design, but not all requirements are equal constraints - some may be softened based on feasibility. Specifications provide measurable definitions to test if a design meets requirements. The document aims to expand the reader's view of all that is involved in engineering design.
This document discusses krea.in, an online platform that recruits panelists for market research. It segments panelists by specialty, including cardiology and oncology. It recruits key opinion leaders, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, HIV patients, and LGBT individuals. The document lists the number of panelists in various Indian cities. It notes features such as disease-based segmentation, custom recruitment, transparency, fast turnaround times, and filtering of inactive or duplicate panelist entries. Maps show the cities covered in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai regions.
