Goodbye Gutenberg? The real impact of emerging technologies on libraries, pu...chaefele
The document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on libraries, publishing, and patrons. It provides an overview of ebooks and e-readers from the perspective of patrons, libraries, and publishers. For patrons, ebooks provide convenience but lack some of the benefits of print books. Libraries struggle with restrictive digital lending models from publishers. Publishers are concerned about protecting sales but also recognize the role of libraries. The document examines trends in ebook adoption and debates around digital rights and access.
The document discusses how many scientific discoveries were described in the Bible centuries or thousands of years before being discovered by science, including: the earth being spherical, the number of stars being uncountable, the hydrologic cycle, valleys and springs in the seas, and jet streams. It provides biblical references for each of these examples and argues that science has often served to confirm truths already contained in the Bible.

Ross Reynolds Principles Of New Media Audio Production Final VersionRossophonic
This document discusses principles of new media in public radio audio production. It covers characteristics of new media such as being digital, modular, and able to be transcoded. It also discusses field recording media, old media editing and mixing, and the fate of old media. The document provides references from sources published between 1977 and 2001 about disruptive technologies, principles of new media, and the history of media technology.
The document expresses surprise that the Earth is still round but notes it is overcrowded and violent. It suggests the planet's spinning has made it a jungle. However, it maintains faith that with less fighting, there will be more green spaces and time with loved ones. It encourages having good coffee and listening to what is right.
Tax Relief for Innovation: Patent Box and R & D Credits Regime by Dan Brookes...Jane Lambert
This is Dan Brookes's presentation to Leeds Inventors Group on 8 May 2013. Dan Brookes is a tax director of the Leeds office of BDO. The presentation is an introduction to the patent box, a tax concession for companies with qualifying patents which came into force on 1 April 2013. It introduces the regime, sets out the conditions and contains a worked example. There is also an introduction to the existing R & D credits scheme
This document is a quiz containing 7 multiple choice questions about various facts. It tests the reader's knowledge on topics like human flatulence, SpongeBob's anatomy, emus, the inventor of the light bulb, basic math, frog leg counts, and Christopher Columbus's voyage. After answering, the reader is told how many they got right and an assessment of their knowledge.
The document discusses quantum numbers and their roles in describing electron orbitals. It explains that the principal quantum number (n) determines the size and energy of an orbital, the angular momentum quantum number (l) indicates the shape of an orbital, and the magnetic quantum number (ml) determines the orientation of orbitals in space. It also mentions that the spin quantum number (ms) describes electron spin as either clockwise or counterclockwise.
The document discusses reaction rate graphs and how to interpret them:
- Experiment a shows the fastest reaction rate based on its steeper slope and producing more product in less time.
- Experiment c used more reactants as evidenced by producing more total product over time than experiment b.
- The rates can be compared by calculating the gradients of the lines in the early linear portion or timing how long it takes to produce a set amount of product.
- Region b shows the reaction slowing down, region c shows the reaction stopping, and region a shows the fastest reaction rate based on steepest slope.

Utilization of social networking services toward accessible academic meetings
From the viewpoint of ``reasonable information accessibility,''
the popularization of real-time social networking services,
such as Twitter and Ustream,
can be regarded as the oppotunity to change academic meetings
into the ``universally designed'' events.
Accessibility should always be considered to some extent
without excessive cost.
Captioning service using automatic speech recognition is also investigated
as a part of the universally designed events using social media.
This document appears to be a slide presentation about the 2011 PC Conference with slides containing only the text "2011 PC Conference" repeated multiple times along with occasional additional text like URLs, hashtags, and Twitter handles. The document seems to be promoting the 2011 PC Conference but provides minimal informative content beyond repeating the conference name.
