The Indian economy is one of the fastest growing in the world, fueled by consumption which accounts for 78% of GDP. Services contribute over 60% to GDP, while new industries like IT, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology are emerging as growth engines. Economic reforms are ongoing and innovation is driving competitive enterprises, making India a hub for manufacturing excellence.
The host defense system in animals uses RNA interference (RNAi) to defend against pathogens. The process involves Dicer cleaving double-stranded RNA into short interfering RNA (siRNA). The siRNA is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) which uses the siRNA to guide itself to complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences. RISC then cleaves the mRNA, preventing translation and degrading the mRNA fragment. This defensive mechanism allows the host to degrade genetic material from pathogens.

Un creativo de publicidad cambió el letrero de una ciega mendiga para atraer más donaciones. Donde antes decía "Ciega, ayúdeme" ahora decía "Cambiemos de estrategia cuando las cosas no salen, y verás que puede resultar mejor". Esto llenó la taza de la ciega con billetes y monedas. El publicista le dijo que usó sus propias palabras para expresar la misma verdad.

The document discusses treatment strategies for acute and chronic hepatitis C. It summarizes randomized controlled trials showing interferon treatment significantly increases sustained viral response rates in acute hepatitis C compared to no treatment. It proposes treating only patients who fail to clear the virus within 3-4 months of symptoms onset. For chronic hepatitis C, it discusses factors associated with treatment response and proposes individualized "a la carte" regimens with PEG-interferon and ribavirin based on genotype, viral load, fibrosis stage, and other factors. It summarizes results of trials supporting shorter, longer or weight-based dosing depending on patient and virus characteristics.
“Big data” in human services organisations: Practical problems and ethical di...husITa
“Big data” initiatives that aim to bring together and mine data from multiple databases across government and non-government agencies promise new insights into human service delivery. Specifically they aim to provide information about what services are being used, how, by whom and with what outcome. However, the process of achieving such insights poses both practical problems and ethical dilemmas. In this presentation, drawing from an extensive literature review and research with government and non-government human service organisations focussing on the design and redevelopment of electronic information systems, the most significant problems and dilemmas will be explored. It will be argued that current frameworks for ethical social work and human service practice will need to be expanded to accommodate developments in technology which have made ‘Big data’ projects possible.
El documento describe diferentes teorías y modelos del color, incluyendo el espectro cromático de seis colores fundamentales, los modelos RGB, CMYK y LAB para reproducir color en diferentes dispositivos, y los modelos HSB y HLS para describir la percepción humana del color. También discute cómo varios programas de diseño gráfico y desarrollo web facilitan la selección y combinación de colores armónicos.
The document introduces OpenMQ, an open source Java Message Service implementation. It discusses key JMS concepts like producers, consumers, destinations, reliability and transactionality. An example scenario of Santa Claus' gift processing system is presented to demonstrate how OpenMQ could be used with different messaging patterns and requirements. Code snippets show how to send and receive messages to different queues in the Santa example. The document provides more resources on OpenMQ and related Java technologies.
Este documento describe varias posibilidades educativas del uso de Second Life como una plataforma de aprendizaje inmersiva que permite el aprendizaje constructivista y colaborativo. Según el documento, Second Life puede usarse para visualizar datos en tiempo real, explorar nuevas formas de enseñar, desarrollar el pensamiento crítico, y apoyar la atención a la diversidad y la integración de estudiantes de diferentes idiomas.
The document repeatedly promotes visiting the website ADISTINCTIVESTYLE.COM for information on an eco fashion issue, a flying car coming in 2009, and a movie preview. It encourages viewing the magazine at the site for more details on these topics.
This document provides suggestions for promoting literacy in families and helping readers gain confidence. Some suggestions include setting aside regular family time for reading without distractions, encouraging a strong vocabulary through word games, making reading an interest by finding books on the child's hobbies, visiting the library regularly, and illustrating thoughts for children who find writing difficult. The goal is to motivate children through positive reading experiences and help build their self-esteem as readers.
The document discusses an optical illusion image containing moving purple circles and asks the reader questions about the image. By staring at specific points, the movement stops, demonstrating that the eyes rather than the image are causing the motion. It hints that tilting the head reveals a man's face and a word beginning with L within the image.
The document contains graphs and charts showing tweet volume on various topics related to President Obama's 2009 inauguration, including mentions of Obama, Bush, and Kennedy over time; tweets about key people like Clinton, Biden, and Michelle Obama; tweets about cultural personalities who performed or spoke at the inauguration like Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, and Joseph Lowery; tweets about TV channels people used to watch the inauguration like CNN, CBS, and BBC; and tweets about miscellaneous topics like the presidential wheelchair and VP Cheney leaving the White House. The graphs show peaks in tweet volume around major events like speeches, performances, and Kennedy collapsing, indicating people were live tweeting as the inauguration progressed.
