This document discusses the effects of radiation exposure on the human body. It provides information on different radiation measurement units and outlines health effects that occur at various radiation dosage levels, such as above 100 rems causing nausea and vomiting. It also discusses historical radiation incidents like Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl, noting many initial deaths were due to radiation exposure and survivors often later developed cancers. The document stresses radiation effects may occur decades later and treatment options are limited for high dosage exposures.
La financiación colectiva se ha convertido en una forma popular de recaudar fondos para proyectos creativos y emprendimientos sociales.

Se propone la creación de un estándar abierto que permita la interoperabilidad entre plataformas y facilite a donantes y creadores participar en la financiación colectiva de una manera más sencilla
Despite the centrality of school districts in all the ways described, we know very little from existing research about how important they are to student achievement relative to other institutional components for delivering education services, including teachers and schools. Neither do we have information on the size of the differences in effectiveness among districts or whether there are districts that show exceptional patterns of performance across time, e.g., moving from low to high performing.
This document discusses sources of evidence for evidence-based practice. It outlines traditional sources such as textbooks and colleagues as well as evidence-based practice sources. Primary sources include original peer-reviewed papers that can be searched through databases like PubMed. Secondary sources provide synthesized research through systematic reviews and guidelines. Examples given are evidence-based journals, The Cochrane Library, and TRIP Database. A structured approach to database searching is also outlined, including developing a focused question and using keywords, subject headings, and Boolean operators to efficiently search literature.

La oferta se refiere a la capacidad y voluntad de producir bienes, y depende de factores como los precios de los recursos, la tecnología y el número de oferentes. Tanto la oferta como la demanda están en relación con el precio, de modo que a mayor
Light refracts when passing from one optical medium to another with a different density. When light travels from a denser to rarer medium, it bends away from the normal, and when traveling from rarer to denser, it bends towards the normal. The change in direction light undergoes when passing obliquely between media of different densities is called refraction.

A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of the Kermadec Islands of New Zealand at a depth of 20 km. This prompted a tsunami warning for the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand, and Tonga. The first waves were expected to reach the Kermadec Islands within an hour, with wave heights of 60cm to 1 meter. New Zealand authorities warned people in coastal areas to evacuate to higher ground as first waves were projected to arrive around 8:52am, bringing potential damage. The earthquake was larger than expected and highlighted the region's lack of preparation for strong tsunamis.

A Belgian plastics company that was family owned struggled financially after being acquired by a multinational corporation. The company faced issues including a mismatch of culture between the family-owned and multinational environments, over diversification, and lack of cost control. Consulting firm BIZSON was hired to evaluate the company and develop a turnaround plan. Their plan involved focusing production, reducing costs, improving cash flow, and restructuring management. After two years of implementing the plan, the changes stabilized the company's finances and positioned it for future growth under new ownership.

Does Better Throughput Require Worse Latency?racesworkshop
The document discusses the tradeoff between throughput and latency in parallel systems. It provides examples of how different algorithms for shared counters can impact latency and throughput. Specifically, it shows that increasing throughput, such as through more parallelism or replication, often leads to worse latency due to the increased communication between cores. The document concludes that there is generally a tradeoff between throughput and latency based on the number of readers, writers, and contention level in a parallel system.
Initial Analysis of Universal Health Insurance 24 March 2011Oliver O'Connor
This document discusses issues surrounding the implementation of universal health insurance (UHI) in Ireland. It notes that UHI would involve many stakeholders, including government officials, healthcare providers, insurers, taxpayers, and the public. It also identifies challenges such as balancing costs and services, determining funding mechanisms, ensuring fair competition between public and private insurers/providers, and providing clarity around benefits and responsibilities. The document emphasizes that successfully implementing UHI will require navigating many complex tradeoffs and choosing a model tailored to Ireland's unique circumstances.
