The University in a Bind
The document discusses the conflicting pressures facing universities and argues they may be caught in a double bind. It outlines pressures to publish research while also connecting through the web, and to adopt new models like MOOCs while maintaining traditional practices. Universities also face pressures to support students but balance budgets. Performance indicators are used to enforce contradictions and shape university identity around measured factors. This systemic double bind may lead universities to exploit the system, become incoherent, find creative solutions, or spur the creation of alternatives. The best question for universities is to redefine their purpose given changes, but the double bind may prohibit that questioning.

Historyof American Bookbinding
This document discusses the history of case construction bookbinding in the United States between 1820-1850. During this period, case construction emerged as the dominant method of book manufacturing over previous techniques like laced construction. Key developments included the introduction of trimmed edges, whole cloth covers, and metal edged pressing boards. Case binding allowed for faster production speeds and facilitated cloth covering and finishing. By the late 19th century, case construction was the standard industrial process in American bookbinding.

Whole-body bioelectrical impedance vector migration for monitoring hydration status after an ultra-endurance triathlon. 18th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science, INEFC Barcelona. (Barcelona).Multiplying Trinomials and Binomials
To multiply a binomial and a trinomial, follow these steps:
1) Make a 3x2 table with the monomials along the outside and multiply across and down to fill in the boxes.
2) Write the equation using the numbers from the table.
3) Combine like terms to get the final equation.
III Semana BINGES
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

This one page document appears to be a product flyer or brochure for blast cabinets from Ace Products USA. It includes an image of two cabinet models, the BN145 and BN125, and indicates they are designed for blast classification. The document is dated October 21, 2011 and includes a web address.
Multiplying Binomials
The document describes two methods, FOIL and the box method, for multiplying binomial expressions like (x+2)(x-5). Using the FOIL method, the terms are multiplied first, outer, inner, and last, resulting in x^2 - 3x - 10. Similarly, the box method involves placing the terms in a box and multiplying corresponding terms, also obtaining the solution of x^2 - 3x - 10.
Biomass
This document summarizes biomass as an energy source. It defines biomass as living matter that can be used as fuel, such as wood, waste, and alcohol fuels from crops. It discusses sources of biomass including wood, waste, and landfill gas. Methods of converting biomass into energy are also outlined, such as incineration, bacterial decay, and fermentation. The document then reviews current uses of biomass, advantages like renewability, and disadvantages like contributing to global warming. It concludes by discussing biomass's role in meeting future renewable energy targets.
Statin and liver
FDA reviewed current guidelines and data on monitoring liver enzymes in asymptomatic statin users. The available evidence does not support routine monitoring, as it rarely identifies serious liver issues and could motivate stopping statin therapy prematurely. FDA analysis of post-marketing reports found that serious liver injury from statins is very rare, with no detectable increase in rates of fatal or severe cases associated with statin use. Routine monitoring does not appear to detect or prevent serious liver injury. FDA also reviewed data on cognitive effects and risk of diabetes from statins, finding a small increased risk of diabetes but no evidence of common or clinically significant cognitive impacts.

3.1 3.3
Water is a universal solvent that is present nearly everywhere on Earth. It has unique thermal, cohesive, and solvent properties that make it essential for life. Water's thermal properties allow it to absorb heat without much change in temperature, acting as a temperature stabilizer for living things that are mostly made of water. Its cohesive properties result from the polar bonding of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, causing water molecules to be attracted to one another. As a solvent, water dissolves many polar molecules found in cells, allowing biochemical reactions to occur in solutions like blood, sap, and cytoplasm.
Biologically inspiredrobot
This document discusses a biologically-inspired robot for space operations. It proposes taking a biologically-inspired approach that provides flexibility, versatility, and intelligence through mechanisms and control similar to biological systems. This includes using intrinsic mechanical properties and simple if-then rule-based control. The first prototype demonstrated standing, disturbance rejection, and walking motions using 18 artificial muscles. Future work may include developing advanced artificial muscles, sensors, power sources, and intelligent control to enable autonomous mobility on rough terrain and cooperative problem solving.

The Implications of Tax Residence for Human Rights
Join us on Wednesday, August 5th, 2020 at 12 pm UK time for a webinar on this exact topic courtesy of some of our favorite and most popular panelists.
Based on a paper penned by our panelists and presented at the Accounting and Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand (AFAANZ) conference in July 2020, this webinar will look at the growing importance of tax residence and how countries like the US have made it particularly burdensome for its citizens to live and work abroad.
More specifically, as per the paper’s abstract, global labour mobility and increasing acceptance of dual citizenship means that more individuals will work in more than one country over their career. Increases in cross-border automatic exchange of tax information via FATCA and CRS has brought questions of tax residence into the forefront as financial institutions perform the required due diligence regarding their clients. Lingering tax residence of emigrants is more than just an inconvenience. Incompatible tax rules and excessive compliance costs are an affront to the sovereignty of the destination jurisdiction and an unreasonable limitation on the rights of individuals to emigrate. The US practice of claiming all citizens as tax residents is especially egregious in this regard. International consensus is needed that individuals should generally be tax resident in only one jurisdiction at a time.
