Feedback is currently sorted based on detail, accuracy, source, and normalization. Geographic and text clustering analysis of feedback are also discussed.
This document proposes an integrated sensing and drug delivery system for diabetes management using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. It describes the components of an artificial pancreas including a glucose sensor to detect blood glucose levels, micropumps and microvalves to control fluid flow, and an insulin reservoir to deliver insulin. The glucose sensor uses thin film deposition and photolithography to create sensing electrodes that detect the current from glucose oxidation. Micropumps use deflecting polydimethylsiloxane membranes and pneumatic actuation to induce peristaltic fluid flow through microchannels. This integrated system could help manage the growing prevalence of diabetes, which is expected to affect over 435 million people worldwide by 2030.

The document discusses how a valuations team extracts property data like number of beds and baths to estimate property prices using algorithms. Users can provide feedback on the estimates. The team's goals are to check for obvious mistakes in feedback, facilitate easy review of feedbacks, and potentially discover new useful features from feedback. Feedback is sorted based on detail, accuracy, source, and normalization. Text clustering is used to analyze feedback text and discover frequently occurring terms.
Trulia is improving its home valuation estimates (Trulia Estimates) by adding new location-specific data features, improving its modeling techniques, and expanding its geographic coverage. Some key updates include adding crime safety and school proximity scores as new features, using cross-validation to learn location-specific model parameters, and implementing hierarchical modeling to leverage information from higher geographic levels. The goal is to provide more accurate home valuations before surfacing them more prominently on the Trulia platform and to users. Initial results show median error rates decreasing from 8.97% to 8.85% after integrating new geographic boundaries called "geoscopes" into the models.
Polymorphic Nanocrystalline Metal Oxidesshantanusood
This document discusses polymorphic nanocrystalline metal oxides and their thermodynamics and applications. It explains that nanocrystalline metal oxides exhibit polymorphic phase transitions at lower temperatures and pressures than their bulk counterparts due to effects of increased internal pressure and surface energy at the nanoscale. A thermodynamic model is presented to explain how surface area to volume ratio and internal pressure effects can lower the activation barrier for phase transitions. Examples of different polymorphic phases exhibited by various metal oxides at the bulk and nanoscale are provided. Applications of polymorphic nanocrystalline metal oxides in gas sensing, catalysis, solid oxide fuel cells, and electrochemical energy storage are discussed.
The document discusses green building strategies implemented in the Ganendra Art House in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. It was designed by architect Ken Yeang and was the first building in the region to incorporate unique features like wind chimneys and bioswales. It received GBI certification, recognizing its sustainability. Key green building strategies included optimizing building orientation for maximum daylighting and natural ventilation to reduce energy use, as well as using materials, landscaping features and renewable energy to improve efficiency, quality and reduce environmental impact.
This document describes a structural engineering project to extend a reinforced concrete bungalow. It includes plans and structural drawings of the proposed extension. Structural calculations are shown to size the beams and foundations for the added weight of the extension, accounting for dead loads such as slab and wall weight as well as live loads. Beam bending moments and shear forces are calculated using the ultimate load case. The project aims to provide students experience with structural design and analysis procedures.
The three cognitive maps created by Judy, Bernard, and Chloe of an intersection in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur show both similarities and differences in their perceptions. All three maps identify Pudu Sentral bus station and the nearby LRT station as important landmarks. They also depict the intersection in front of Pudu Sentral as busy and noisy using the color red. However, the maps differ in that Judy highlights hotels and markets important to her as a tourist, Bernard includes landmarks relevant to him as a local student, and Chloe emphasizes the urban design elements she notices as an architecture student. The differences reveal how personal experiences and backgrounds shape individual cognitive maps.

Specifically, it studies learner behavior in relation to educational needs and environment. Educational psychology also describes and explains an individual's learning experience from birth through old age by studying development through achievements over the lifespan. It can be considered the science of education as a discipline used to scientifically improve education processes and results.
Gas sensing properties of Nanocrystalline metal oxidesshantanusood
Nanocrystalline metal oxides are commonly used as gas sensor materials. They undergo a change in electrical resistance when exposed to target gases due to interactions between the metal oxide surface and gas molecules. The document discusses how reducing the particle size of metal oxides to the nanoscale allows them to exhibit novel optical and electrical properties not seen in their bulk forms. This is because metastable states that exist only at high temperatures in bulk materials can be accessed at room temperature when the particle size is sufficiently small. Several examples of metal oxides and their sensitivity to different gases in both bulk and nanostructured forms are provided. The mechanism of gas adsorption and sensing is also explained.

The document discusses the four main language skills - listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It describes how these skills are interrelated and develops in progression. It then provides details on each individual skill, including concepts, situations where they are used, micro-skills involved, and methods to evaluate each skill. The key points made are that listening is the most basic skill, speaking is the most important for communication, and that the four skills are interdependent and reinforce each other when learned.
This document discusses the various definitions of psychology throughout history. It was originally defined as the study of the soul by early Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Later definitions included studying the mind, consciousness, and behavior. Modern psychology is considered a behavioral science that studies an organism's behavior through a positive, scientific lens. The document also outlines the main branches of both pure and applied psychology.
1) The document discusses the opportunity for technology to improve organizational efficiency and transition economies into a "smart and clean world."
2) It argues that aggregate efficiency has stalled at around 22% for 30 years due to limitations of the Second Industrial Revolution, but that digitizing transport, energy, and communication through technologies like blockchain can help manage resources and increase efficiency.
3) Technologies like precision agriculture, cloud computing, robotics, and autonomous vehicles may allow for "dematerialization" and do more with fewer physical resources through effects like reduced waste and need for transportation/logistics infrastructure.
