5 Years since the financial crisis, how far has the world really moved?Rajkumar P.
This document examines how far the world economy has recovered since the 2008 global financial crisis. It finds that while most developed economies like the US, Germany, and Japan have seen moderate growth of around 2-7% since 2007, Italy still has 8.7% less economic activity. Emerging markets like China, India, and some BRIC nations have fared better, with China's economy nearly doubling in size. The top 10 economies by GDP, including developed nations and BRICs, contribute around 64% of total world economic activity. When measured by purchasing power parity, which accounts for domestic costs, BRIC nations make up an even larger share of around 29% of the global economy.
Lehman collapse on Sep 15, 2008 had a devastating impact. It froze the financial markets and pulled the US and world economy down. 5 years have gone by, let's take stock of how far has the world progresed
This document discusses second quarter sales, comparing actual sales to projections by department and product. While total sales were close to projected, some departments like production missed their goals, while others like engineering exceeded projections. The document also shows regional sales breakdowns and differences from projections to help determine what needs to be implemented to increase future sales.
Scaling Atlassian
Scott Farquhar outlines Atlassian's growth from a small startup to an enterprise software company with over 11,000 customers. Atlassian started with two founders and $10,000 in capital in 2001 and has since grown organically without venture capital. It now has over 165 employees and its mission is to build innovative yet simple software to solve customer problems. Atlassian develops products like JIRA, Confluence, and Bamboo when it cannot find existing tools to meet its needs.
This document discusses the scaling challenges faced by Atlassian, an enterprise software company founded in Australia. Some of the key challenges discussed include scaling the company's self-service software model without professional services or expensive sales teams; attracting and retaining high-quality employees as the company grows rapidly; continuing product innovation as processes become more standardized; and ensuring the company's values and culture continue as the founders scale back direct involvement. The document provides examples of how Atlassian addressed issues like marketing, customer support, hiring practices, and product development to successfully scale operations while maintaining strong growth.

Going underground in Santiago: new public buildings built undergroundArchitects for Peace
Going Underground in Santiago
The city of Santiago has undergone incessant transformation in the last twenty years. However, perhaps the most noticeable and unexpected change has been its surrounding geography. The magnificent mountains, the Andes that until only fifteen years ago were perpetually covered in snow and ice cap glaciers, lay bare in today’s summers as a reminder of our recklessness.
While many of the urban transformations follow on a relatively stable trajectory of modernisation and improvement of the social conditions, this course was interrupted during the period of the Pinochet’s dictatorship. The dictatorship’s rejection of urban planning, in favour of the ideology of the ‘free market’ and left a damaging legacy of urban sprawl and inequity. This has presented a challenge to the governments of the last twenty years. In redressing the urban ills, these governments have placed society, culture and sustainable ‘quality of life’ above all other concerns.

Atlassian grew from a startup founded by two people in a garage to a $60 million company within 8 years by following a bootstrap business model. Key aspects of their model included making their enterprise software affordable, self-selling, globally accessible, and open so that customers would buy it without a sales team. They also used their own products and measured everything to improve their model as it evolved.

The document summarizes key aspects of protein synthesis, including the roles of initiation, elongation, and termination factors. Many factors involved are GTP-binding proteins whose conformations change depending on whether GTP or GDP is bound. Guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) stimulate the release of GDP and binding of GTP to reactivate GTP-binding proteins. Initiation requires initiation factors IF-1, IF-2, and IF-3. Elongation involves elongation factors EF-Tu, EF-Ts, and EF-G, which are GTP-binding proteins that deliver aminoacyl-tRNAs and catalyze translocation.
This document discusses the mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials. It covers topics like stress/strain behavior, creep, toughness, reinforcement, and modifiers. It explains how polymer chemistry, structures, and properties influence product performance. Key factors that determine a plastic's mechanical response are intermolecular forces, temperature, time under load, degree of crystallinity, and molecular weight. A plastic can behave as an elastic solid, viscoelastic solid, viscoelastic fluid, or viscous fluid depending on these factors. Tests like tensile testing, impact testing, and dynamic mechanical analysis are used to characterize mechanical properties.
