Algunos estados miembros aún dependen en gran medida del petróleo ruso y se les ha concedido una exención, pero se espera que todo el petróleo ruso quede prohibido para fines de 2023.
This document discusses ex-situ conservation of the rare parasitic plant Rafflesia. It provides background on the plant's unique characteristics and challenges to its study. Rafflesia has no leaves, stems or roots and is entirely embedded within and relies on its host plant. It is found in remote forests in Southeast Asia. The document outlines that while preserving habitat is most important, ex-situ conservation methods like protected breeding sites and recreating habitats outside natural areas may also help prevent the extinction of Rafflesia as its forest homes continue to disappear.
This document summarizes Mary Risner's presentation on supporting Portuguese language study for specific purposes. It discusses collaborating with Portuguese professional associations, providing professional development for K-16 educators, and applying Portuguese in the workplace. It also lists resources like newsletters, listserves, publications and programs for studying Portuguese in the US.
The document discusses HP's proposed approach to helping AG Group transform its IT infrastructure. It outlines HP's phased approach of strategy and discovery, design, and transition. The transformation model proposes consolidating AG Group's 30 data centers across the globe into 3 redundant data center clusters, one in each major continent.
