This document discusses the risks that non-practicing entities (NPEs), also known as patent trolls, pose to startups. It notes that 88% of patent litigation cases in 2015 were caused by NPEs. It also cites studies showing that NPE lawsuits negatively impact startup research and development spending and operations. The document promotes joining Unified, a nonprofit that challenges NPEs and invalidates more of their patents than others. It claims startups that join Unified benefit from free NPE licenses, fewer demand letters and lawsuits, and shorter cases if sued.

PCR is a technique that amplifies a specific sequence of DNA through repeated cycles of heating and cooling to enable its use in further testing. It involves denaturing DNA strands, annealing primers to the strands, and extending the primers using a DNA polymerase. PCR has many applications including detecting genetic mutations and viral DNA, obtaining DNA sequences from forensic samples, and aiding archaeological research.
Este documento presenta un examen de conocimientos sobre varios temas como la evolución del universo, la tierra y el ser humano, las inteligencias múltiples, los derechos humanos y la ética. Contiene 11 preguntas de opción múltiple sobre estas áreas de conocimiento, así como secciones para calificar el desempeño del estudiante, identificar posibles deficiencias y recomendaciones de mejora.
Este documento proporciona instrucciones paso a paso para tejer un gorro de lana, incluyendo una lista de materiales necesarios y cuatro procesos principales. El primer proceso explica cómo tejer el gorro de forma plana para aprender la estructura antes de pasar al tejido redondo. Los procesos siguientes detallan cómo tejer el gorro, disminuir filas para darle forma y cerrar la parte superior con un cordón. Al final, el gorro de lana estará listo para usar.

Kevin Hackart is studying for an Electronics Technician Diploma at INTEC and this transcript confirms his results in 8 subjects, including Pulse Circuits, Computer Fundamentals, Logic Circuits, and RF Circuits. His grades ranged from 61% to 100%, with his highest marks in AC Circuits and Linear and Digital Circuits. The transcript was issued by Santi van Schalkwyk, the Academic & Quality Assurance Manager at INTEC.
Este documento describe las características y requerimientos del cultivo de la tuna y la papa. Resume que la tuna se desarrolla bien en climas áridos y semiáridos, requiere suelos sueltos y arenosos con pH alcalino. Describe las características morfológicas de la tuna como el tallo, cladodios, espinas y raíces. La papa se adapta a climas fríos y templados, prefiriendo suelos francos bien drenados con pH entre 4.5-7.5.
(ARC348) Seagull: How Yelp Built A System For Task ExecutionAmazon Web Services
Efficiently parallelizing mutually exclusively tasks can be a challenging problem when done at scale. Yelp's recent in-house product, Seagull, demonstrates how an intelligent scheduling system can use several open-source products to provide a highly scalable and fault-tolerant distributed system. Learn how Yelp built Seagull with a variety of Amazon Web Services to concurrently execute thousands of tasks that can greatly improve performance. Seagull combines open-source software like ElasticSearch, Mesos, Docker, and Jenkins with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to parallelize Yelp's testing suite. Our current use case of Seagull involves distributively running Yelp's test suite that has over 55,000 test cases. Using our smart scheduling, we can run one of our largest test suites to process 42 hours of serial work in less than 10 minutes using 200 r3.8xlarge instances from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Seagull consumes and produces data at very high rates. On a typical day, Seagull writes 60 GBs of data and consumes 20 TBs of data. Although we are currently using Seagull to parallelize test execution, it can efficiently parallelize other types of independent tasks.
This document discusses various process models for software engineering. It begins by defining what a process model is and explaining why they are useful. It then covers traditional sequential models like waterfall and V-model. Iterative and incremental models like prototyping and spiral modeling are described which allow for software to evolve through iterations. Other topics covered include concurrent modeling, component-based development, formal methods, aspects, unified process and personal software process. The document provides details on different process patterns, assessment methods and considerations for evolutionary processes.
