Fichas de elementos da natureza observables dende a cidade

In het eerste artikel, een nadere kennismaking met de verschillende deelgebieden Sloterdijk I, II, III, IV en Sloterdijk Centrum, ofwel de Sloterdijken. Daarna meer over de oorzaken voor de hernieuwde dynamiek in het gebied. In het tweede artikel wordt dieper ingegaan op de nieuwe woonfunctie in Sloterdijk Centrum, het kantorengebied rond station Sloterdijk. Waarom mag het nu wel? Waar mogen mensen precies wonen. En, hoe gaat de gemeente dit aanpakken? Het derde artikel gaat over het groen. Elke Amsterdammer heeft groen op loop- en fietsafstand. Zo ook de nieuwe bewoners. De Bretten is een natuurgebied dat deels is aangelegd, maar grotendeels zelf is ontstaan. Een relatief onbekend juweeltje, maar ook daar zal vanzelf verandering in komen. Er is gewoonweg veel te zien en te beleven voor de Amsterdammer.

Caching Search Engine Results over Incremental Indices

Roi Blanco

A Web search engine must update its index periodically to incorporate changes to the Web. We argue in this paper that index updates fundamentally impact the design of search engine result caches, a performance-critical component of modern search engines. Index updates lead to the problem of cache invalidation: invalidating cached entries of queries whose results have changed. Naive approaches, such as flushing the entire cache upon every index update, lead to poor performance and in fact, render caching futile when the frequency of updates is high. Solving the invalidation problem efficiently corresponds to predicting accurately which queries will produce different results if re-evaluated, given the actual changes to the index. To obtain this property, we propose a framework for developing invalidation predictors and define metrics to evaluate invalidation schemes. We describe concrete predictors using this framework and compare them against a baseline that uses a cache invalidation scheme based on time-to-live (TTL). Evaluation over Wikipedia documents using a query log from the Yahoo! search engine shows that selective invalidation of cached search results can lower the number of unnecessary query evaluations by as much as 30% compared to a baseline scheme, while returning results of similar freshness. In general, our predictors enable fewer unnecessary invalidations and fewer stale results compared to a TTL-only scheme for similar freshness of results.

Finding support sentences for entities

Roi Blanco

We study the problem of finding sentences that explain the relationship between a named entity and an ad-hoc query, which we refer to as entity support sentences. This is an important sub-problem of entity ranking which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been addressed before. In this paper we give the first formalization of the problem, how it can be evaluated, and present a full evaluation dataset. We propose several methods to rank these sentences, namely retrieval-based, entity-ranking based and position-based. We found that traditional bag-of-words models perform relatively well when there is a match between an entity and a query in a given sentence, but they fail to find a support sentence for a substantial portion of entities. This can be improved by incorporating small windows of context sentences and ranking them appropriately.

Delivery Of Future Content

Peter Lancaster

The document discusses developing strategic research agendas for cocoa and coffee. It notes that cocoa and coffee face persistent problems related to demand, prices, quality, farmer livelihoods, and sustainability issues. While much research exists, it is often fragmented and not accessible to all stakeholders. The document proposes developing collaborative research agendas to provide guidance, coordinate efforts, and disseminate information, while recognizing diversity of needs. A survey of stakeholders found interest in joining a multi-stakeholder platform to share and communicate research results to help address key research gaps in areas like agronomy, climate change, and productivity.

Reported statements

Vicky

The document provides a comparison of direct and reported speech, listing the changes in verb tenses and other words when moving from quoting someone's exact words to reporting what they said. Direct speech uses present tenses while reported speech changes verbs to past tenses, substitutes pronouns like this/these for that/those, and replaces words like now with then to indicate the speech is being reported after the fact rather than occurring in the present.

Destination pluto

Lisa Baird

Pluto is located over 2 billion miles from Earth in space and is too far away to see with the naked eye. It is composed of ice, rock, and craters. Pluto was discovered in the 1930s and has three moons: Nix, Hydra, and Char. A space craft called New Horizons arrived at Pluto in 2015 to learn more about it since scientists cannot observe details of Pluto from Earth. Temperatures on Pluto are extremely cold at -232 Celsius, making it impossible to live there due to the thin atmosphere and weak gravity. A proposed robot would collect dust samples on Pluto to help scientists learn more about its composition through pictures and analysis back on Earth.

Mastering the eligible content

Leah Vestal

The document discusses strategies for teaching to the eligible content (EC) on the PSSA tests, including understanding the EC thoroughly, adjusting questioning techniques to align with the EC, focusing on open-ended written responses, and providing regular spiral review and formative assessment of the EC. Teachers are encouraged to create their own review materials focused specifically on the EC, use graphic organizers consistently to improve student writing, and have systems in place to provide additional support for students still struggling with mastery of the EC.

International MBA Student Connector Program

Halifax Partnership

The document outlines the International MBA Student Connector Program run by the Greater Halifax Partnership. The program aims to integrate international MBA students into the Halifax workforce through social and professional networking connections. Connectors are individuals who introduce international students to their business networks. The program has facilitated over 200 connections and 33 jobs for international students. It has been duplicated in other cities across Canada.
