CSW Summit Tehran: Global Crowdsourcing Pulse CheckEventbox
?
This document discusses the history and future of crowdsourcing. It notes that crowdsourcing has enabled massive opportunities since the rise of the internet in the 1990s. Examples are given showing how crowdsourcing has been applied to toys, cars, innovation, cyber security, and education. Sebastian Thrun's online artificial intelligence class is discussed, which had over 160,000 students enroll, far more than the 200 normally at Stanford. The document predicts that the first $1 billion crowdfunding project will occur by 2020 and that collectively people have more money than any single wealthy individual when combined through crowdsourcing.
A Survey on Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Using Soft Computing Techniquesiosrjce
?
The document reviews various soft computing techniques for landslide susceptibility mapping, emphasizing the importance of accurate prediction in hazard management. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and support vector machines, highlighting their applications in analyzing geological factors that contribute to landslides. The conclusion suggests the potential for hybrid models combining these techniques to enhance predictive accuracy.
The document outlines the process of creating and managing a purchase order within a business workflow. It describes the life cycle of the purchase order, including states such as 'create', 'to be assigned', and 'to be delivered', and emphasizes the importance of re-using objects in the process. Additionally, it includes instructions for adding text annotations to provide further context about order requests made via phone and email.
TechVision: Avoiding Hefty Fines and Reputational Damage with Test Data Manag...CA Technologies
?
The document discusses challenges with using production data for testing under new data privacy regulations like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It notes that using raw production data or even masked data in testing environments poses risks of fines and reputational damage. The document recommends a hybrid approach of using pseudo-anonymized or synthetic test data that has characteristics of real data but contains no sensitive information. This allows effective testing while avoiding issues around data consent and privacy regulations.
Vitamin K exists in three forms - K1, K2, and K3. K1 is found in plants, K2 is produced by intestinal bacteria, and K3 is synthetic. All three forms are required for blood clotting as they allow the carboxylation of glutamate residues in clotting factors in the liver. This carboxylation enables the factors to bind calcium and participate in the clotting cascade. In addition to its role in coagulation, vitamin K is also needed for carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein involved in bone mineralization. Deficiencies can result from poor intake, antibiotic use, or conditions affecting bile production needed for absorption of K1 and K2
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in multiple forms including retinol, retinal, and retinoic acid. It plays an essential role in vision, cell growth and differentiation. Vitamin A is absorbed in the small intestine and transported to the liver where it is stored. A deficiency can impair vision and cause dry eyes and corneal ulceration or blindness in severe cases. The recommended daily intake is 400-1000 ¦Ìg depending on age, sex and life stage.
Sonophotocatalytic Degradation of Waste WaterTejas Deshpande
?
The document presents a technical paper on recent trends in chemical engineering, specifically sonophotocatalytic degradation of wastewater. It discusses various sources and types of wastewater as well as current treatment methods and their drawbacks. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) like sonophotocatalysis are introduced as promising alternatives. Sonophotocatalysis combines sonication and photocatalysis to generate more hydroxyl radicals for degradation. A case study demonstrates over 95% degradation of pharmaceutical wastewater pollutants using this technique. While sonophotocatalysis has benefits, further research is still needed to optimize costs and fully understand degradation mechanisms for wide application.
This document summarizes several vitamin-like compounds: choline, lipoic acid, inositol, and PABA. It describes their chemistry, sources, roles in metabolism, and therapeutic uses. Choline prevents fatty liver and is required for phospholipid and acetylcholine synthesis. Lipoic acid acts as an antioxidant and cofactor. Inositol is required for membranes and second messenger signaling. PABA is a folic acid component and sulfanilamide target. Overall, the document outlines the biochemistry of these important micronutrients.
