The document discusses the importance of optimizing physical infrastructure in data centers to improve efficiency and reduce costs. It notes that data centers currently operate at only 30% efficiency, with 70% of electricity consumed by non-IT infrastructure components. The document promotes the services of Carousel to provide consultative physical infrastructure solutions and optimize areas like power usage, cooling, and network monitoring to improve overall data center efficiency.
The document summarizes CardConnect's payment security solution for preventing data breaches and protecting businesses. It discusses vulnerabilities in the current payment process and issues with EMV and PCI compliance. CardConnect's solution uses point-to-point encryption (P2PE) hardware to encrypt card data at the point of entry, removing sensitive data from the merchant's system and scope of PCI compliance. The solution routes encrypted data through CardConnect's secure gateway and vault to processors, protecting businesses from liability in data breaches.

Carlisle Companies reported strong sales and earnings growth in Q1 2011 despite significant raw material cost increases. Net sales were up 27% to $693.6 million, with 13% organic growth. Earnings before interest and taxes increased 42% to $55.2 million, with a 90 basis point improvement in margins. The acquisition of Hawk contributed $76 million in sales and added positively to earnings in its first quarter as part of Carlisle. Raw material costs rose substantially year-over-year but were offset by volume growth, price increases, and cost savings initiatives.
Lachlan Stokoe from Vision Critical presented best practices for mobile research. He discussed how mobile research is evolving and highlighted key considerations like identifying compatible question types, being aware of potential biases, and keeping surveys short to optimize for small screens. Stokoe also emphasized the importance of testing surveys on multiple devices and deploying thoughtfully based on respondents' usage patterns to maximize completion rates. The presentation concluded with a recap of best practices like maximizing limited screen space, controlling scrolling, and targeting multimedia sparingly.

This document outlines the strategic vision of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). It acknowledges input received from NHLBI staff and advisors in developing this vision. The vision identifies 8 strategic objectives to guide NHLBI research over the next 5-10 years, including understanding normal biological functions, investigating disease mechanisms, studying population differences in health, identifying individual differences in disease and treatment responses, developing new diagnostics and therapeutics, optimizing clinical research, leveraging data science opportunities, and sustaining a diverse scientific workforce. Each objective includes compelling questions and critical challenges to help achieve the vision of preventing heart, lung, and blood diseases.

This document summarizes a panel discussion on risk management training and competence for the biogas industry. The panelists discussed developing robust training for plant operators and managers to safely operate biogas plants. They addressed mapping risks prior to plant development and increasing knowledge through guidance documents. The panel emphasized reducing the risk of non-compliant operations, given the relatively low barriers to entry in the biogas sector. Key risks included gas/fire/explosions, working in confined spaces, loss of containment harming the environment, and hazards to operators from materials like biogas, sludge and foaming. The goal is reducing business risks early to develop a competent and safe biogas industry.
