The document discusses the endocrine system and some of its key glands. It defines the endocrine system as consisting of glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, such as the adrenal glands, pancreas, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, ovaries, and testes. It provides additional details about the pancreas, which is the only organ that has both endocrine and exocrine functions, and Cushing syndrome, a metabolic disorder caused by excessive corticosteroid hormone production in the adrenal cortex.
This presentation outlines some steps for those new to digital curation (i.e., preserving and providing access to digital collections). This presentation was for the Digital Conversion Interest Group, sponsored by ALCTS-PARS, and was given at the American Library Association Conference in Anaheim, California on June 23, 2012.

The digestive system breaks down food through a series of hollow organs from the mouth to the anus. The digestive tract includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The esophagus is a 10 inch muscular tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach after chewing.
The document discusses the 2013 technical conference for PMPA and provides details on CNC multi-function printing for machining an aluminum part including tolerances, materials, machining processes, tooling, and cycle times. Key steps include rough and finish turning, drilling, milling flats and slots, cutting radii and corners, and deburring. The part will be machined from 2011-T3 aluminum alloy using multiple spindles and tools with a target cycle time of 3 minutes 24 seconds and a production rate of around 17 pieces per hour.
This document summarizes technology analysis data from West Mesquite High School for the years 2008-2011. It shows that the school improved in most key areas of Teaching and Learning, Educator Preparation and Development, and Leadership, Administration, and Instructional Support over this period. Infrastructure for Technology also strengthened with increased access to computers and network resources for students.
The urinary system filters wastes from the blood and excretes it as urine. It includes the kidneys, which filter toxins and regulate fluid balance, removing wastes from the blood to produce urine. The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, an elastic sac that stores urine until it is excreted through the urethra. The urinary system works hard to clear poisons from the blood and maintain the body's water balance by producing and excreting urine.
Hodgkin's disease is a type of cancer that begins in the immune system cells. The immune and lymphatic systems work together to fight infections and filter unwanted substances from the body. Hodgkin's disease affects the lymphatic system and lymph nodes. Hives are raised, itchy welts on the skin that can be triggered by allergic reactions or contact with certain foods, medications, insect bites, chemicals, or temperature changes. Histamine release causes fluid leakage from capillaries, resulting in the hives rash.

A 9-year-old boy was bored in school and didn't do his homework. When he complained to his father, his father explained that school is necessary to gain skills to get a job doing what you love, like computers. The boy started dedicating himself to his studies to have a career in computers. He became an adult working as a computer security consultant while still a student, showing that listening to his father's advice helped him achieve his goals.
The nervous system coordinates all body activity and consists of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system contains the brain and spinal cord and is responsible for voluntary muscle movement, the senses, and controlling body functions. The peripheral nervous system conducts electrical impulses between the brain and the rest of the body. The brain is the largest organ and controls thought, memory, judgment, and emotion through different sections, while the spinal cord relays impulses between the brain and body.
This document compares the characteristics of managers versus leaders. Managers focus on administering systems and maintaining the status quo with short-term goals, while leaders innovate, inspire trust, challenge norms, and have a long-term vision. The key difference is that leaders motivate through influence rather than position. To be most successful, an individual should exhibit both management and leadership skills by setting goals, developing people, making decisions, and serving as a role model.
