The document analyzes images and stories from a local Salford newspaper called the Salford Advertiser. On the front cover is a photo of the Broughton Rugby Team, showing the community focus of the newspaper. A story about a woman having her IVF rejection overturned shows a resolution of a problem. On the second page, a photo of a Cambodian hotel where a British man murdered someone depicts the disruption and later resolution of that crime. The newspaper employs typical codes like masthead placement, large photos and advertisements.
This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the impact of two gas pipeline projects, Nabucco and South Stream, on Turkey's energy security. The incidence of the impact is based on three dimensions of energy security: supply-demand balance, production source diversity,and transit route diversity. This paper relies on the Herfindahl Hirschman Index (HHI) and the adjusted Shannon Weiner Index (SWI) to evaluate and compare the impact of the various project
implementation scenarios. The main findings are that both projects enhance Turkey's energy security and provide valuable and timely energy supply in the medium-term but their contribution is inadequate and marginal in the long-run. More specifically, the implementation of Nabucco significantly reduces the market concentration of producers whereas the South Stream project improves transit diversity by including Bulgaria as a major transit player. Surprisingly, implementation of Nabucco reduces transit diversity security because it includes politically volatile regions like Iraq and Georgia
EI3 - Intelligent Infrastructures in the Internet of the FutureMario Vega Barbas
The Internet of Things technology vision represents a future in which Internet extends into the real world including the everyday objects as new players in the ecosystem. This paper aims to show the lines of research of the authors within a future where physical objects can be remotely monitored and controlled through the virtual world, where intelligent control systems enable monitoring of human activity from a non-intrusive role.
Drive Superior Customer Experiences With Integration AppliancesSean O'Connell
PGP Corporation implemented the Cast Iron integration appliance to connect its Oracle-based order management system (POMS) to the RightNow customer relationship management (CRM) system. This allowed order and support data to be synchronized in real-time without custom coding. The entire integration project was completed within 10 days using Cast Iron's configuration-based approach. PGP then expanded its use of Cast Iron as an integration platform across other systems. This simplified integration management and increased return on investment by facilitating data sharing.
Presentation: "Gaining Competitive Advantage: Easy and Centralized Data Acces...Sean O'Connell
This document discusses how Awana Clubs International gained competitive advantage through adopting Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions. It describes Awana's business challenges around meeting more sophisticated constituent expectations with limited resources. It details Awana's goals of enabling flexible, efficient, and reliable access to information. It then explains how Awana's legacy on-premise systems were inefficient and did not meet these goals. Awana selected a SaaS customer relationship management (CRM) system integrated with their ERP using an appliance. This allowed them to rapidly integrate systems, increase productivity, and reduce IT spend while empowering constituents with self-service access. Lessons learned emphasized the importance of integration strategies for SaaS adoption and choosing
The document analyzes the characters, iconography, setting, and technical codes presented in a Manchester newspaper. On the front cover, a man convicted of animal abuse represents the villain, while citizens who restrained him are heroes. Two men arrested after a hotel altercation are also portrayed as villains. Iconic Manchester figures like footballers and landmarks help localize the newspaper. The setting of stories in Manchester anchors the audience, and technical elements like headlines and placement of stories follow principles to attract readers.

The document discusses various topics related to renewable energy and electricity costs. It addresses how the majority of electricity charges are fixed costs rather than variable costs based on usage. It also examines how factors like a home's orientation and shading can impact the energy generation of solar panels. The document notes that places like Calgary may not be optimal for solar due to weather factors like hail that could damage panels. It questions what may still be holding people back from adopting renewable technologies like solar.

Tracy Alternative Thermal Printing Option For Plastic Card Resellerstracyzhang2011
This document discusses limitations of traditional thermal printing for ID cards and proposes an alternative digital printing solution. Thermal printing has high costs for equipment, ribbons, and maintenance. It is also time-consuming and cannot print on custom card shapes. The proposed solution uses digital printing which has lower costs, higher speeds of up to 20 cards per 7 seconds, can print in color, and supports custom card shapes. A case study describes a company that used the digital printing for renewing staff ID cards, achieving faster turnaround times and increased efficiency.
Quality Circles began in Japan in 1962 as a way to improve quality and productivity by tapping into workers' creativity. A Quality Circle is a voluntary group of employees who meet regularly to discuss work-related issues and offer suggestions for improvements. The goal is to increase employee participation and motivation by giving them input into production processes. Quality Circles benefit companies by promoting self-development, teamwork, improved performance, and higher morale.
