The document discusses doing business in China based on 4 articles. It notes that China attracts attention due to its large population, low personnel expenses, and status as a developing country. Many companies are establishing bases in China to take advantage of the low costs. The growth of the Chinese economy through economic reforms since 1978 has led to hundreds of millions being lifted out of poverty. Foreign investment in China has increased significantly as it is seen as an important developing market with potential for economic profits. China's large market and growing middle class are impacting the global economy as major companies use it as an economic base and production center. Understanding Chinese culture and local markets is important for foreign businesses operating there.
The RUBICON project is a three-year, European Union-funded project to develop a robotic ecology system that minimizes programming and supervision. The RUBICON system architecture includes control, cognitive, and learning layers to allow the system to adapt to changes in application requirements and environment. An ambient assisted living testbed scenario was implemented at Tecnalia's homelab to demonstrate RUBICON, with robots and sensors providing assistance to users through activities like device control and data collection. The results showed RUBICON's ability to implement distributed, adaptive, and incremental learning to configure to environmental changes.
- Jamberry has partnered with 4 companies to provide social media and business management tools to consultants for $9-$19 per month.
- These tools include apps for Facebook business pages, online meetings, digital look books for parties, tax and expense tracking, and automated client follow up - things that normally cost much more individually.
- The partnerships will give consultants access to professional tools and services at an affordable price to help grow their businesses.
This document discusses techniques for performing surgical tracheostomies. It begins by providing historical context and then covers indications and timing considerations. The optimal timing remains controversial but most agree conversion from an endotracheal tube to tracheostomy is indicated after 7-10 days of intubation if the patient is not likely to be extubated soon. The document then reviews tracheostomy anatomy and techniques including standard open surgical procedure which involves making a transverse incision above the suprasternal notch, retracting muscles to expose the trachea, and creating a vertical incision between tracheal rings to insert the tracheostomy tube. Post-procedure care and complications are also briefly mentioned.
All living things need water, food, living space, and stable internal conditions to survive. Specifically, they require water to carry out essential functions like obtaining chemicals, breaking down food, and moving substances within their bodies. Organisms also need a source of energy, which they obtain through food - either by producing their own food through photosynthesis (autotrophs) or consuming other organisms (heterotrophs). Furthermore, all living things need a place to live where they can access food, water, and shelter, leading to competition for space. Finally, organisms maintain homeostasis to keep internal conditions constant despite outside changes, which is vital for cellular functions.

El documento describe los tres sectores económicos principales - el sector primario, que incluye actividades relacionadas con los recursos naturales; el sector secundario, que se enfoca en la transformación de materias primas; y el sector terciario, que ofrece servicios a las personas. Cada sector incluye varios subsectores específicos.
This document summarizes a presentation on asset reliability and process safety. Some key points:
- A reliable plant is a safe plant that is cost-effective and has a friendly work environment. An unreliable plant is unsafe, costly, and has an unfriendly work environment.
- Safety and reliability goals must be integrated, as failures induce greater risk of injury. A reliability excellence approach and strict operating and maintenance standards are needed to achieve zero incidents/injuries.
- Asset reliability management is a holistic approach to continuously improve reliability, availability, and integrity at lowest cost. It identifies best practices to avoid failures and reactive work.
- Maintenance has evolved from run-to-failure to include preventive
