Solvay lecture application development methodologies 2011Toon Timbermont
Introduction slides for the course on application development methodologies given during the IT management course @Solvay (http://www.solvay.edu/it-management.).
The full presentation covers the development methodologies required to build applications in the current landscape as well as technologies enabling them.
This document discusses PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) in building materials, which can be a health issue in schools. PCBs were commonly used in caulking and other building materials before 1977. Exposure to PCBs is linked to cancer and effects on the immune, reproductive and nervous systems. The document outlines steps for identifying PCB-containing materials, testing, exposure assessment, and remediation strategies like removal or barriers. Case studies show widespread PCB contamination found in caulking at schools, resulting in delays and high costs to address the problem. Proper testing and remediation is needed to reduce PCB exposure, especially in schools.
"Environmental Impact of Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment Performed on the Łebień LE-2H Well in Poland" - An indepth study performed by the Polish Geological Institute on the environmental impacts of hydraulic fracturing at a well site in Poland carried out in August 2011. The study finds that soil, air and water are not negatively impacted by fracking when it's done according to regulation.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow and levels of neurotransmitters and endorphins which elevate and stabilize mood.
This document discusses toilets from various locations around the world including Florence, Germany, England, France, New York, Japan, Florida, Paris, the Vatican, India, and for specific groups like musicians, people with stomach problems, bankers, and public toilets. It also mentions toilets for Rosie O'Donnell and former US President George W. Bush.
