The document discusses the intersection of information and communication technologies (ICT) and creative industries in Europe. It notes that creative industries generate over €654 billion annually for Europe. It also describes the MFG Baden-Württemberg organization's efforts to foster innovation through cross-fertilization between ICT and creative industries at the European, national and regional levels. Their activities include research, workshops, virtual worlds and more to boost collaboration between the two fields.

The document describes an event for the NG Wireless project. It includes an agenda with presentations on monitoring interference using sensing technology, avoiding interference with adaptive protocols, and minimizing interference with cooperative networks. There will also be a presentation on accounting for the impact of interference on revenue modeling and results. After the presentations, there will be demonstration booths and a networking drink.
This document outlines an online marketing plan to sell a home. It provides statistics showing that most home buyers begin their search online, with 88% using the internet and 94.3% saying the internet is becoming more important than print. It also shows that 32% of buyers found their home via the internet in 2008, up from just 8% in 2001. The plan details how listing the home on REALTOR.com will expose it to over 150 million monthly online users and allow the agent to promote it with photos, videos, and featured placement to attract more buyers. Progress will be tracked with weekly performance reports.
The U.S. government adopted an e-procurement solution called DoD-SCOMS to standardize and streamline the process of procuring marine fuel for its vessels. DoD-SCOMS is a web-based system that allows authorized officers to order fuel online from pre-negotiated contracts or multiple merchants. It electronically captures all transaction details to expedite processing, payment, and create an auditable trail. A pilot program showed it could efficiently capture contract transaction data, and it was later expanded and used to procure over 77% of non-contract fuel at below standard prices with zero fraud. The system reduced processing time by 47 days and received an innovation award.
The document summarizes the WISDOM initiative for grid-enabled drug discovery against neglected and emerging diseases. It describes how WISDOM deployed large-scale virtual screening of potential drug compounds against malaria and avian influenza on various grid infrastructures. Over 400 CPU years were used to screen over 1 million compounds in 3 months. Results identified potential drug hits that are now undergoing further testing. The document concludes that WISDOM demonstrates the potential of grid computing to accelerate drug discovery for neglected diseases.

The document discusses traditional music from four European regions:
1) Galicia is known for bagpipes and tambourines. Music accompanied agriculture and festivals.
2) Germany produced famous composers like Beethoven and Brahms. Traditional instruments include bagpipes and dances include polka and sword dances.
3) Sweden's instruments derive from Vikings like lur trumpets and bagpipes. Common dances are schottis and polka.
4) The Czech Republic produced composers like Dvořák and Mozart's Don Giovanni. It has a strong woodwind instrument tradition and genres like jazz, folk, and rock and roll.
The document discusses mechanisms for controlling access to internet content related to space, time, speed, quality, and access. It focuses on how the audiovisual industry uses geo-IP filtering, digital rights management (DRM), content delivery networks (CDNs), and peering agreements to segment markets and protect existing business models of content versioning and repurposing. Regulation and self-regulation both play a role in controlling the distribution of content, with tools like DRM and geo-blocking supported by formal copyright laws as well as industry practices. Overall, the document examines how the industry aims to maintain national and regional control over content access online.
Galicia has a rich folklore centered around pilgrimages, featuring traditional dances like the Muiñeira and folk instruments like the bagpipe, tambourine, and drum. The bagpipe produces sound through reed pipes supplied by a mouth-inflated bag or bellows, while drums are membranes stretched over a hollow cylinder struck to create sound. Tambourines consist of a single drumhead with jingling metal discs.

The document summarizes the key issues and debates around the concept of multistakeholderism that emerged from the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) process regarding Internet governance. It analyzes the role and participation of civil society groups in the WSIS, noting limitations around their representativeness and legitimacy. While multistakeholderism aimed to be more inclusive, the document finds gaps remained between experts and activists in the civil society caucus studied. Representativeness and legitimacy were not fully realized through the caucus email list discussions.
The document discusses multi-touch technology and its advantages over single touch or mouse/keyboard interactions. It notes that multi-touch allows for more intuitive and direct manipulation through real-life gestures, improved performance, and enables natural collaboration between multiple users. The document also provides contact information for Maarten Cardinaels of TinkerTouch to discuss their approach of building new software that leverages multi-touch technology or integrating existing applications for multi-touch devices.
The document summarizes key details about the M-Days event in 2012, including forecasts of 50% visitor growth and 120 exhibitors. It outlines the speaker stages, exhibitor areas, and topics that will be covered like mobile working, apps, developer areas, and partnerships with Appfahren and GS1. Sponsorship and media opportunities are also mentioned to promote visibility for exhibitors among the B2B, developer, and consumer audiences.

This document provides instructions for using the ping and traceroute commands to test TCP/IP network connectivity. It describes pinging the local loopback address and default gateway to verify local IP stack functionality. Traceroute is used to identify the network path and devices between the local host and a remote server, and can help locate connectivity issues along the path. The lab demonstrates using these commands on the local host to test connectivity to on-link and off-link devices and networks.

El poema describe el número pi como un número infinito que nunca termina y continúa más allá de lo que la vista, el cálculo o la imaginación pueden comprender. A diferencia de otras cosas en el mundo que tienen un fin, como serpientes o cometas, el número pi seguirá extendiéndose para siempre a través del espacio sin llegar a su conclusión.
1. APROXIMACIÓN DE π
ATRAPANDO CÍRCULOS
O matemático grego Arquímedes
(s. III a.C.) foi quen de acotar o
valor de π entre o número
10 1
racional 3
71 e 3
7 , cun erro
que oscila entre 0'024% e 0'040%
con respecto ao seu valor real.
O método empregado por Arquímedes consistía en inscribir e circunscribir
polígonos regulares en circunferencias e calcular o perímetro destes
polígonos.
Ao comezo Arquímedes empregou hexágonos, e foi dobrando o número de
lados ata chegar a a polígonos de 96 lados.
