This document introduces a course on phonology and phonetics. It discusses language as a complex system of vocal symbols and sound units that combine according to rules to form structures with meaning. Language began as early humans' first words and the assigning of names to things. There are many languages because groups developed differently over time and isolated from each other. The document asks why languages have different accents and what the differences are between accents and dialects. It recommends learning English pronunciation to avoid issues like native language interference that can cause foreign accents.
Can anterior cruciate ligament injuries be mitigated?wardy_8591
This document discusses strategies for preventing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries through coaching interventions. It provides background on the high rate and costs of ACL injuries. Coaches can play a key role by addressing risk factors like knee valgus, jump landing technique, strength, and plyometrics training. Effective prevention programs incorporate awareness of risks, observational screening, and multi-component training targeting neuromuscular factors shown to decrease ACL injury risk.

This collection of documents provides information about the common milkweed plant. Common milkweed is a herbaceous plant native to North America that produces clusters of fragrant pink or purple flowers. It plays an important role as the host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars. The documents describe how to identify, grow, and care for common milkweed to attract butterflies and pollinators to gardens. They also discuss the ecological importance of milkweed and how its decline impacts monarch butterfly populations.
Solanaceae comparative genomics prl lunchtime seminar 2009Brett Whitty
The document discusses genomic resources for the Solanaceae plant family. It describes sequencing and assembly efforts for several species including tomato, potato, tobacco, and pepper. It also details the development of databases containing Solanaceae sequence data, gene models, transcripts, and other genomic annotations. Comparative analyses were performed aligning Solanaceae data to model plant genomes like Arabidopsis, grape, and poplar. Putative lineage-specific transcripts without hits to other plants were also identified.
This document discusses considerations for enabling access to and use of data from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) in a biomedical compute cloud. It notes that the ICGC has over 25,000 tumors across 53 projects and 16 countries/regions, with about 100GB of open access analysis results and 700TB of controlled access sequencing and array data hosted across various repositories. It raises questions about how to aggregate this distributed data through a single access point, what compute and analysis resources users may need, who would create and maintain common pipelines, how to ensure authorization and compliance of cloud-based data users, and what metadata is required to make the data useful.
Functional Genomics Resources in Thellungiella and SinorhizobiumBrett Whitty
The document describes a study that analyzed expression profiling of the plant species Thellungiella salsuginea in response to cold, drought, and salinity stress. 8045 ESTs were obtained from stressed libraries and 6578 remained after cleaning. 3628 assemblies resulted after gene clustering. The study found little overlap in gene expression between the different stresses.
The document provides an update from Brett Whitty of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) Data Coordination Center (DCC). It summarizes data releases and additions to the DCC database in 2012, including new cancer types and donors added. It also provides overviews of the total number of mutations and affected genes in the database, as well as completeness of different data types. Clinical data completeness is summarized. Finally, it outlines DCC activities planned for 2013.
CAMERA metagenomic annotation pipelineBrett Whitty
The document describes the CAMERA annotation pipelines and related infrastructure. It discusses the compute infrastructure including the CALIT2 compute grid and SOS cluster. It then describes the GOS/CAMERA ncRNA and ORF finding pipeline, including the rRNA finding pipeline, ORF calling, and tRNA extraction. It also discusses the GOS incremental protein clustering pipeline and the CAMERA annotation pipeline, including specifications and implementation. Finally, it provides thoughts on object-oriented design approaches for the annotation pipeline to support changing annotation rules and data sources over time.
This document provides an overview of the Indian footwear industry. It discusses that the Indian footwear market is worth USD 3.94 billion and growing at 15% annually. While India is the second largest footwear producer globally, per capita consumption is still lower than other countries. The footwear industry is split between branded shoes catering to urban areas and local production serving rural markets. Major players are expanding operations across India and innovating new styles to attract various consumer segments.
Lindsay STRINGER, Andrew John DOUGILL "Channelling science into policy: Enabl...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
This document summarizes a presentation given at the UNCCD 2nd Scientific Conference in 2013. The presentation discusses two routes for channeling scientific research on land degradation and sustainable land management into policy: through the UNCCD international policy arena, and through national level policy processes like National Action Plans. It provides examples from Botswana of integrating local knowledge and research into land policy changes. It also outlines lessons learned on community empowerment, stakeholder analysis, and knowledge brokering to facilitate research uptake. Finally, it discusses the objectives and challenges of the CASCADE project in developing an integrated modeling approach and engaging with policymakers.
The document discusses the challenges facing dryland regions in West Africa, including increasing temperatures, declining rainfall, soil degradation, and high population growth. It then outlines grassroots solutions that have shown success, such as farmer-managed natural regeneration of trees, rainwater harvesting, integrated soil fertility management, and adoption of drought-resistant cropping systems. These approaches emphasize low-cost regeneration methods, improving food security and livelihoods, and are being adopted by millions of smallholders and implemented in national scaling-up programs across Africa to help address the crises in the drylands.
Hanspeter LINIGER "Adapting to climate change through sustainable land manage...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
This document summarizes a pilot project in Tajikistan that used sustainable land management (SLM) practices to help communities adapt to climate change and reduce disaster risk. It describes a 3-part process: (1) identifying problems and potential SLM solutions through stakeholder workshops, (2) documenting existing SLM practices, and (3) selecting the most promising techniques. Over 70 SLM practices were documented and evaluated for their ability to address climate impacts like drought and flooding. The project emphasized an integrated landscape approach, linking productive areas to protective measures, and building on local knowledge and participation. SLM played a key role in both disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Jim Krev from Fieldglass on how they use Splunk. Key points include:
- Fieldglass is a large VMS provider that uses Splunk to replace their SIEM and help one analyst do the work of two by making searches, dashboards, and reports easier to create.
- They index data from various systems and applications to build dashboards for security monitoring, vulnerability tracking, and auditing.
- Splunk has helped them identify issues faster and show continuous improvements required for their ISO certification.
- They have found Splunk to be very useful and have developed internal apps and continue expanding their use of Splunk over time.
