Stars are formed from dust and gas drawn together by gravity. As a protostar, increasing heat from compression leads to hydrogen fusion, forming a main sequence star. Over time, a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core and swells into a red giant. From there, a dying star will either cool into a white and then black dwarf, or for larger stars, explode as a supernova, throwing material containing heavier elements formed during its life into space. What remains is either a neutron star or, for the largest stars, a black hole.
The document describes a proposed integrated screening program for breast, cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. The program would be implemented through Well Woman Clinics that provide comprehensive screening and early detection using cost-effective methods. The goals are to downstage cancers, improve outcomes, and reduce mortality. Screening would include clinical breast exams, cervical screening tests, and transvaginal ultrasounds. Positive cases would be referred for diagnostic procedures. The proposal outlines strategies for clinic operations, training, research, and public outreach to promote screening.

Vesicles are membrane-enclosed structures that form inside cells during endocytosis, which is the process where the plasma membrane forms inward pouches to internalize extracellular material. Vesicles serve to transport materials within the cell, such as carrying raw materials processed by the Golgi complex to their final destinations for secretion or transport. The Golgi complex processes raw materials into finished products and sorts and directs where the finished products will go inside the cell.
Lorna Gibbons - Developing a Common Approach to Local Economic Assessments Up...South West Observatory
The document discusses the development of a common approach to local economic assessments (LEAs) in the UK. It provides an update on a questionnaire sent to local authorities to understand current capacity and practices regarding LEAs. The responses highlighted concerns about resources, skills, data availability, and timelines for completing the assessments. Actions proposed include developing a shared website for best practices, coordination across regions, and initial planning steps taken by various local authorities and groups.
This document provides prompts for analyzing different elements of a film, including characters, themes, settings, purpose, visual/verbal features, and structure. Students are asked to choose a character and describe them, identify and explain a main theme, describe two settings, explain the purpose of the film, identify memorable features, and analyze the structure. Comparisons are also drawn to other films the student may have seen.
A seasonal wildfire in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta on August 21, 2003 grew into a large forest fire that burned over 20,000 hectares of forest, throwing off energy equivalent to an atomic explosion every 30 minutes. A resident, Elaine Hruby, recounts being evacuated from her home by authorities and watching the approaching flames from 20 km away, unable to look away. The fire had both negative impacts, such as affecting the local tourism industry, and positive impacts, including businesses maintaining steady customers and creating ecological diversity in the burned areas.
The mobile phone market has experienced significant growth over the past 15 years. In 2001, service revenues exceeded infrastructure costs for mobile networks, and by 2002 service revenues covered 85% of infrastructure costs. This growth was enabled by factors like cell phone towers achieving near complete coverage by 2001 and investments in more efficient network equipment. International growth has also been substantial, with U.S. subscribers growing from 123,000 in 1990 to 45 million in 2005, and Asian subscribers growing even faster from 45,000 to 215 million over the same period. Market analysts predict the growth factors will maintain 10% annual subscriber growth for the next five years.

This is a session on the basics of Drupal 7 themeing and front-end customization of a Drupal 7 website.
This training session is targeted as intermediate to advanced Drupal user. (Sharp beginners might also benefit).
The objectives of this session are two fold:
First is to impress on you a fundamental knowledge of the Drupal theme system and an understanding of how it works.
Second is to empower you with a knowledge of how you might start to use the power and flexibility of the Drupal theme system to easily customize the look and feel of a Drupal website.
In the last years, thanks to the standardization of Semantic Web technologies, we are experiencing an unprecedented production of data, published online as Linked Data. In this context, when a typed link is instantiated between two different resources referring to the same real world entity, the usage of owl:sameAs is generally predominant. However, recent research discussions have shown issues in the use of owl:sameAs. Problems arise both in cases in which sameAs is automatically discovered by a data linking tool erroneously, or when users declare it but meaning something less ’strict’ than the semantics defined by OWL. In this work, we discuss further this issue and we present a method for logically detect invalid sameAs statements under specific circumstances. We report our experimental results, performed on OAEI datasets, to prove that the approach is promising.
The majority of graduates from the MSEd InfoTech program responded to a survey, with most living within an hour of campus but taking fewer than 5 courses on campus. Most graduates are currently teachers at various levels, with some being instructional designers or other positions. Nearly half reported a salary increase due to the degree, and 45% said it very significantly changed their core teaching practices. All respondents rated their program experience as good or excellent and said they would recommend it.
Key Data Sources for Public Health - Local Perspective - Irina HollandSouth West Observatory
National data has advantages like comparability between areas and standard indicators/targets, but local data provides more granular, timely, and useful information for public health. Local data sources in Somerset include population statistics, lifestyle surveys, screening and vaccination rates, deprivation indices, and disease registers from general practices. Examples shown how local cervical cancer and childhood vaccination data can identify poorly performing areas for intervention, and how smoking and deprivation data were used to target communities for smoking cessation programs.

Discovery and the Age of Insight: Walmart EIM Open House 2013Joe Lamantia
Discovery is the most important business capability in the emerging Age of Insight - it's the missing ingredient that makes Big Data a source of value for businesses and people.
The Language of Discovery is an essential tool for providing discovery capability, whether at the scale of designing a single discovery application, determining the value proposition of a new product or service, or managing a strategic portfolio of technology and business initiatives.
This presentation outlines the Age of Insight, and suggests deep structural and historic precedents visible in the Age of Reason, especially in the central parallels between Natural Philosophy and the emerging discipline of Data Science. We then review the language of discovery, and consider widely visible examples of products and services that demonstrate the language.
We review our own usage of the framework as an analytical and generative toolkit for providing discovery capability, and share best practices for employing this perspective across a variety of levels of need.
The document discusses digital curation, which is defined as the selection, preservation, maintenance, collection and archiving of digital assets. It provides examples of how the State Library of South Australia uses Flickr and other tools to digitally curate and share photos from its collection and gather community input. Instructions are given on setting up accounts with History Pin and Pinterest to begin digitally curating content online.
The document discusses community created content and how libraries can better meet community needs through a digital transformation. It proposes reimagining libraries to create safe environments for community members to generate and share content both physically and virtually. Libraries should provide tools to enable content creation, as well as frameworks to showcase and store user-generated content. The goal is to deliver toolkits and access points for communities to find, create and remix digital content.
This document discusses various topics related to e-learning including tools, pedagogical approaches, and resources. It begins with an overview of e-learning and discusses open educational resources. It then covers specific e-learning tools like blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, and virtual worlds. It also discusses learning theories and frameworks.

CILIP Cymru Wales Conference 2019: Privacy literacy for better digital citizensCILIP
Aude Charillon's presentation
Many libraries and information centres offer digital skills training. But do we explain what happens with personal data online?
All citizens should be privacy literate, to make informed decisions about how much personal information they are comfortable sharing online and which software to use. We library and information professionals should be privacy literate, to help citizens and to ensure our own practices and systems are respectful of privacy.
This talk will cover how attendees can enhance their knowledge, what we can do in our institutions and how we may work together to make our services more respectful of citizens' privacy.

Instructions are included for setting up a Flickr account and uploading images with the proper naming structure and metadata tags.
Copyright + social media + archival collectionsKatie Hannan
The document discusses copyright issues related to using archival collections on social media. It notes that breaching copyright is against the law, even if you do not believe in copyright. Creative Commons licenses are being applied to allow reuse of out-of-copyright images and licensing of in-copyright images. Proper record keeping and responding to takedown notices are important for risk management when sharing copyrighted archival materials online. Contact information is provided for questions about copyright and the collections.
Digital Collections; Web 2.0, the Semantic Web and Linked DataKatie Hannan
This document provides an overview of digital collections, social media, the semantic web, and linked data. It discusses how social media has changed to be more interactive and put consumers in control of information. Digital collections now include more than just books, and items are part of larger donated sets. The semantic web uses metadata and linked data to add context to information by describing it in subject-predicate-object triples. Examples of linked data projects are also provided, such as the South Australian Red Cross Information Bureau project which links records about soldiers. The document concludes by discussing challenges and next steps for linked open data.
The Adelaide City Digital Hub is located at the Grote Street Library and aims to connect the community and city businesses with technology and the online world and get ready for the National Broadband Network (NBN).
The State Library of SA delivered two sessions at the Adelaide Digital Hub, social media explained and an introduction to Facebook.
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for developing libraries in oral culture communities in the South Pacific. It notes that communities in Vanuatu, Samoa, and other Pacific islands rely more on oral traditions than print culture. Libraries struggle with lack of funds, materials, and trained staff. The document proposes rethinking library development to better serve these communities through tailored donations, partnerships with Australian libraries, use of digital technologies like e-readers, and capturing of oral traditions. It emphasizes community consultation and flexibility to blend oral and written traditions.
This document discusses sustainability initiatives at Charles Sturt University (CSU) and within its Division of Library Services (DLS). It defines sustainability as meeting current needs without burdening future generations. CSU has adopted sustainability as a core value and set targets to reduce energy/water use, increase biodiversity, and become carbon neutral by 2015. The DLS formed a Sustainability Working Party to help meet these goals, such as installing new multifunction devices (MFDs) to consolidate printers/scanners, saving resources and money. Training will help staff use the new MFDs, which are more efficient, to further the library's sustainable practices.
Katie Hannan established a library at Epi High School on Epi Island, Vanuatu through a 6-month volunteer position. She worked to set up the new library building, train staff and students on library use, develop resources and collections, and train local counterparts to manage the library ongoing. Some challenges included isolation, language barriers, and limited transportation and infrastructure on the remote island. Ultimately, she was able to successfully establish an efficient and functional library, train local staff, and improve resources for the school community.
Web 2.0 tools have changed the way that we interact with people and information online. Find out what Library 2.0 is and how the CSU Library is embracing new technology.
