This document discusses different database technologies, including Oracle RAC, Salesforce Force.com, and Google App Engine Datastore. It then focuses on PHP RDBMS options like MySQL Cluster and potential open source alternatives. The rest of the document summarizes the Incline and Pacific databases from Cybozu Labs. Incline provides horizontal sharding for MySQL and supports ACID transactions across shards. Pacific aims to be a high performance alternative to MySQL for small-to-medium workloads without a single point of failure.

The document discusses job contracts and psychological contracts. It defines a job contract as an explicit, legally binding agreement between an employee and employer that outlines their respective rights and obligations. A psychological contract instead refers to the implicit, unwritten expectations and assumptions that each party has of the other. Violations of a psychological contract can result in misaligned expectations and negatively impact job satisfaction and performance. The document provides tips for organizations to help reduce such violations, such as clarifying expectations, fostering open communication, and establishing the right workplace climate.
What stakeholders really think of eLearning. Quality through self-evaluation.DeborahJane
SEVAQ+ is a tool and approach for self-evaluating the quality of technology-enhanced learning. It allows users to create questionnaires based on recognized quality frameworks, analyze results from different stakeholders, and improve courses. The project aims to support quality and attractiveness of vocational and higher education. SEVAQ+ extends an earlier version to include additional stakeholders like managers and trainers, contexts like vocational and higher education, and frameworks like EFQM and Kirkpatrick models. It was tested by over 1500 current testers across Europe to validate the tool.

This project aims to develop an online bidding system to streamline the project bidding process for both buyers and programmers. The proposed system allows users to bid on projects through a web application, eliminating the need for manual paper-based bidding. This reduces time spent, workload, and the risk of losing bids compared to the existing manual system. The proposed system will be developed using ASP.net and have modules for administrators, buyers and programmers.

This document provides a summary of a presentation on the biological network analysis software Cytoscape. The presentation introduces Cytoscape as an open source platform for biological network analysis and visualization. It covers basic features of Cytoscape like importing network data, analyzing networks using tools like network statistics and filtering, visualizing networks using layouts and styles, and preparing networks for publication. The presentation also discusses expanding Cytoscape's capabilities through apps and upcoming new features in Cytoscape 3 like improved visualization, server-side applications, and integration with the web.
The document outlines the author's learning goal of maintaining a 3-minute conversation in English by the end of the semester. They plan to search for new vocabulary, learn correct language usage, and speak in complete sentences.
