Search & Analytics in Archives using Semantic AnnotationsKlaus Berberich
This document provides an overview of research on search and analytics using semantic annotations. It discusses using named entities, geographic references, and temporal expressions annotated in documents as common semantic annotations. Various models are used to make sense of these annotations for search, like identifying interesting time intervals for queries and diversifying search results by time. Analytics applications include linking Wikipedia to news archives using semantic divergence and generating event digests by selecting relevant sentences from documents.

The document discusses opportunities and threats for a company that serves over 1 billion people in more than 200 countries. Some key opportunities mentioned are expanding offerings in countries like India where the company only has 11 of over 400 products. Threats include government policies, strong competitors like PepsiCo, and reliance on distributors. The objective of the author's thesis is to study promotional schemes by Coca-Cola India and compare their merits and limitations. Research methods to be used include interviews, questionnaires, and data analysis tools like ANOVA, t-tests, bar charts and pie charts. Limitations discussed are the time-bound nature of the report and issues collecting complete questionnaire data.
The document discusses challenges and potential issues that can arise when developing real-time and safety-critical software for multicore systems. It notes that code that may work correctly on a single core due to lack of synchronization could fail on a multicore system due to race conditions introduced by parallel execution. It provides examples of problems that can occur with atomic operations, caching inconsistencies, and lack of visibility of shared memory updates between cores. The document advocates using proper synchronization, atomic operations, and techniques like lock-free algorithms and compare-and-swap to develop robust multicore software.
The document discusses challenges and best practices for developing software for multicore processors, especially those used in real-time and safety-critical systems. It notes that code that works correctly on a single core may have race conditions and unpredictable behavior on multicore due to reordering of memory accesses and cache coherency issues. The document recommends using synchronization, atomic operations, volatile variables, and understanding the memory model to avoid problems like lost updates, outdated values, and reordered reads and writes.
The bus shelter in front of the Palazzo at Park Center complex was damaged sometime on the evening of December 16, 2010. Photos taken the next day show the extent of the damage to the shelter, though no one knows exactly what happened as the unit in front of it had been vacant. Over 10 months later, on October 8, 2011, the shelter had not been replaced as the city hauled away the damaged one but claimed the property owners were responsible for a new one.

Jamison Fletcher summarizes his experiences during a week-long trip to rural Qing Yuan, China with his grade 9 classmates. Some key experiences he discusses include rock climbing where he pushed past his fears of heights, camping and working with his team to set up tents, teaching at a local Chinese school and seeing the students' living conditions, and cave exploring which helped build trust among the group. Overall, the trip allowed Jamison to try new activities, learn about rural Chinese culture, and bond with his classmates in a beautiful natural setting away from urban life.
This document summarizes a presentation about establishing a new research center called FIDES to focus on applying telecommunications research to financial information systems. It discusses challenges in the financial services industry and how the center aims to address issues like lack of standards, compliance, and resource optimization through interdisciplinary projects. The presentation outlines goals like developing specialized software, frameworks and automated mechanisms to improve performance and compliance. It proposes that the center will be industry-driven with sponsorship and guidance from an advisory board with expertise in various financial domains.
The REAL Network was created to connect all parties involved in a loan transaction and create benefits for members including borrowers, realtors, attorneys, loan officers, and title companies. Membership benefits include $500 checks for borrowers at closing, reduced title bills, priority loan processing, and access to a loan tracking system. The network also provides realtors with marketing tools like custom websites for listings and automated Craigslist posting. The goal is to streamline the home buying process and benefit clients.
This document discusses chemical safety in the workplace and hazard communication. It covers the hazards of chemicals, how chemicals are labeled for safety, and how to safely use chemicals through reviewing material safety data sheets. The overall goal is to educate workers on identifying and safely handling chemicals.
The document outlines several theories of foreign direct investment (FDI). It discusses theories assuming perfect and imperfect markets, as well as other theories based on variables like political risk. Some of the major theories covered include the differential rates of return hypothesis, portfolio diversification hypothesis, market size hypothesis, industrial organization hypothesis, internalization hypothesis, location hypothesis, eclectic theory, product life cycle hypothesis, and oligopolistic reactions hypothesis. The document also examines hypotheses related to internal financing, currency areas, diversification with capital barriers, and the Kojima hypothesis.
Human evolution began around 5 million years ago with early human ancestors like Australopithecus afarensis in Africa. Homo habilis who lived around 2 million years ago were the first to make complex tools. Homo sapiens emerged around 200,000 years ago in Africa and spread across the world. Prehistoric human development involved progressing through the Stone Ages including the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods defined by their tool usage and subsistence strategies like hunting and gathering or agriculture. During the later Metal Ages of the Copper, Bronze and Iron Ages, humans transitioned to metal tools and the rise of early civilizations.
The document provides information about astronomy and the solar system. It discusses the definition of astronomy and describes the solar system including the eight planets, their satellites, asteroids, comets, and other objects within the sun's gravitational influence. It then focuses on specific planets like Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury. Details are given about their composition, orbits, moons, and other characteristics.
