One-year Accomplishment Report on i5k@NALJun-Wei Lin
This document summarizes programming and engineering challenges faced by the i5k project at NAL over the past year, along with accomplishments in addressing them. Key challenges included implementing a task queue for BLAST requests, automatic build and regression testing, and load testing. Solutions developed were an automatic build and deployment process using Jenkins, regression testing scripts, and load testing with JMeter. Additional work provided single sign-on for annotating multiple organisms through a unified user dashboard and application process.
This document is a nostalgic reflection on childhood memories from the 1950s-1970s. It lists over 50 pop culture references, toys, games, and everyday experiences that were common for children during that time period, but have since disappeared or changed greatly, such as TVs needing time to warm up, milk delivery, landline phones, and cars always having their keys in the ignition. The reflection frames this era as a simpler and less threatening time for children compared to modern concerns, but acknowledges children still faced fears from their parents and grandparents. It challenges the reader to remember their own childhood during this time and share the nostalgia with others.
This document summarizes a QNAP intern's report on using the Robot Framework for automated regression testing. It discusses how the framework allows tests to be written once and run every time with each new build. Test cases are stored as text files for version control and can be executed from the command line. The intern demonstrated how automated regression testing found issues across multiple builds and shortened the regression cycle to improve software quality while relieving testers. In conclusion, experienced testers' knowledge was translated to Robot Framework scripts to continue benefiting future testing efforts.
1) The document summarizes a citizen engagement initiative called "Ponte pa' tu país" launched by the 2012 presidential campaign of Danilo Medina in the Dominican Republic.
2) The initiative allowed citizens to submit proposals online, vote on proposals, and have the most popular ideas incorporated into the government's policy platform. Over 3,000 proposals were submitted and 500 evaluated.
3) The initiative helped grow Medina's social media following substantially and understand that citizens are politically organizing through social channels without traditional parties or media. It showed a new way of doing politics is possible through digital civic participation.
The document discusses transportation of sports teams at IHS which travels over 5,500 miles per year, emitting over 4 metric tons of CO2. It then introduces hydrogen fuel cell buses as a more sustainable alternative, noting demonstration programs in several areas and a $12 million grant to research commercializing these vehicles. While not yet available for retail, some public transit agencies are already using these buses with the goal of wider availability by 2012.

This presentation discusses three major European cities - London, Rome, and Paris. For each city, it provides information on famous places to visit, the local economy, and climate. The presentation aims to provide key details about these iconic cities in a brief format.
This document outlines the key components and steps of project management. It discusses that people are essential to project management as they create ideas, solve problems, accomplish work, and ensure projects are completed. The document also lists the main steps in project management as project definition, scope, budgeting, planning, scheduling, controlling, and close-out, with an emphasis on teamwork, scope, work plans, communications, and quality.
The document discusses several paradoxes of modern times including having more conveniences but less time, more knowledge but less judgement, and more experts but more problems. It argues that while possessions and living standards have increased, values have decreased. People talk more but love less, stay busy but accomplish less. The conclusion encourages making every day special by spending time with loved ones, using nice things daily rather than saving them, and telling people you care about them now rather than putting it off.
This document outlines a thesis presentation on developing a parallel version of the CLOSET+ algorithm for efficiently mining frequent closed itemsets from large datasets. It motivates the problem of information overload in an era of big data and increased computing power. It provides background on data mining, parallel computing, and the existing CLOSET+ algorithm. The presentation then describes the parallel CLOSET+ algorithm developed, including parallelizing the construction of FP-trees and merging results. Test results and conclusions are also mentioned.

This presentation is about MPI programming. Talks about collective communication, OpenMPI, debugging using DDD, using gfilt and valgrind as helper tools.
This Russian Federal Highway connecting Moscow to Yakutsk City in Siberia does not have an asphalt surface. When it rains, the dirt road becomes paralyzed, trapping over 600 vehicles without fuel or food for days. A woman gave birth on a bus during the ordeal. Locals resorted to breaking into trucks for supplies and beat construction crews who tried to help, highlighting the desperate conditions on this vital but unpaved road.
Hydrogen fuel cells work through redox reactions where hydrogen and oxygen react to produce water, generating an electric current in the process. The document goes on to explain how a proton exchange membrane fuel cell works, where hydrogen is oxidized at the anode, producing protons and electrons, and oxygen is reduced at the cathode. The protons flow through the membrane to the cathode while the electrons flow through an external circuit, powering a device. This process produces water as the only byproduct. The document also lists some pros and cons of hydrogen fuel cells.
The document discusses several methods for producing hydrogen including steam reforming, electrolysis, and harnessing hydrogen-producing bacteria. Steam reforming, the most widely used method, involves reacting methane with steam to produce hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Electrolysis uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen but is currently inefficient. Research is being done to genetically modify bacteria to produce hydrogen by feeding them sugars which could be a promising future method. In conclusion, while the technology to produce hydrogen exists, an eco-friendly and practical solution is still many years away.
