This document summarizes a presentation on a Stata module called "parallel" for parallel computing. It discusses the motivation for parallel computing given large administrative datasets and powerful computers. It describes how parallel works by splitting datasets and tasks across computer clusters to accelerate computations. Benchmarks show parallel processing provides near-linear speedups on tasks like Monte Carlo simulations and reshaping large databases. The syntax and usage focuses on applications well-suited for parallel like simulations and loops, while noting commands like regressions may not benefit as much.

This document discusses plant tissues and their functions. It explains that there are three main types of plant tissues - meristematic tissue, permanent tissue and vascular tissue. Meristematic tissue is responsible for cell division and growth. There are three types of meristems - apical, lateral and intercalary. Permanent tissues include simple tissues like parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma and complex tissues like xylem and phloem. Xylem transports water and minerals while phloem transports food. Dermal tissues like epidermis and peridermis protect the plant from water loss and pathogens. In woody plants, the peridermis is formed from the cork cambium.
La Unión Europea ha anunciado nuevas sanciones contra Rusia por su invasión de Ucrania. Las sanciones incluyen prohibiciones de viaje y congelamiento de activos para más funcionarios rusos, así como restricciones a las importaciones de productos rusos de acero y tecnología. Los líderes de la UE esperan que estas medidas adicionales aumenten la presión sobre Rusia para poner fin a su guerra contra Ucrania.
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are online courses aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. They provide filmed lectures, readings, and problem sets. MOOCs also offer interactive user forums to support community interactions. Well-known providers include Udacity, Coursera, edX, Peer 2 Peer University, and University of the People. While MOOCs increase access to education and provide lifelong learning opportunities, they also require self-directed learning and can be chaotic with high dropout rates if students are not self-regulated.

This dissertation analyzes the play Saved by Edward Bond. Chapter one provides an introduction and context for the social issues addressed in the play. It makes the point that the play explores a particular social issue and provides evidence from the text to expand on this point.
Implementation intentions are a prospective memory strategy involving "if-then" plans. Formulating implementation intentions creates an association between a specific situation ("if") and the intended task ("then"). When the situation occurs, it automatically activates and makes the task easier to remember. Research shows implementation intentions improve task performance for older adults compared to younger adults. The strategy encodes tasks in memory and increases awareness of cues to perform them. Examples are provided.
The document is a project evaluation report written by Allah Dad Khan, who is the Provincial Project Director for the Coastal Marine Program II under the Ministry of Environment and Forests in Pakistan. The report evaluates an unspecified project and was written by Allah Dad Khan, whose contact information is included at the bottom.
The document is a resume for Felix S. Hintz III applying for a position as a field service representative. It summarizes his experience over 30 years working on various aircraft engine models including Pratt & Whitney PT6A, JT15D, PW100, PW200, PW300, PW500, Rolls Royce Spey and Tay, and General Electric CJ610 and CF700 engines. It also lists his employment history in technical support and maintenance roles for various aviation companies, and his education including an airframe and powerplant license from Sacramento City College.
The document describes a 6-axis stepper motor driver and optional encoder module that can control bipolar stepper motors of up to 14 amps. It also describes a multi-channel data acquisition and control system for precision current control of LEDs with 4 to 8 independent channels. Each channel can individually adjust the current from 0 to 2000 mA or be modulated by an external voltage. The system is designed for applications requiring multiple color channels like fluorescence microscopy.
This document provides guidance to students on properly citing sources and avoiding plagiarism in a school PowerPoint presentation. It discusses using media center and internet resources to research a country, and emphasizes giving credit to original creators by citing sources. When finding facts, pictures or other content online or in books, students are told to put information in their own words rather than copying directly. The concept of "transformativeness" is introduced to explain how utilizing copyrighted materials for educational purposes like a school project is allowed.

Brittany reflects on her purpose and career path. She believes her hands were made to help and heal people. Though she once pictured being a surgeon, volunteering at a hospital with child life specialists made her realize she wants a career working with children. She is grateful to the child life specialists and her mentor for their influence and support in helping her evaluate her options and choose a career that allows her to make a positive impact on kids.
This document summarizes a study investigating the polymerase activities involved in translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) when DNA polymerase bypasses abasic sites formed within chromosomal DNA. The researchers developed yeast reporter strains containing a subtelomeric single-stranded DNA region where abasic sites could be randomly generated by expressing human APOBEC3G to create uracils. They found that Rev1 and Rev3 polymerase activities were involved in error-prone bypass of the abasic sites, leading to mutations. Sequence context influenced the relative frequency of A or C insertion opposite the abasic sites. Pol32, a subunit of DNA polymerases δ and η, was also found to be involved in residual low-frequency C insertion

Originally funded back in 1990, the John G. Rangos Sr. Research Center has established itself as one of the hubs for pediatric research not only in the Pittsburgh area, but in the medical community as a whole. What began as just a small building in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood has grown to a beautiful 10-acre hospital campus in the heart of Lawrenceville.
