Nonlocal effects in models of liquid crystal materialsNigel Mottram
The document discusses nonlocal effects in models of liquid crystal materials. It provides an introduction to liquid crystals, describing their properties and phases. Key aspects that continuum models must account for are discussed, including the director field, elasticity, dielectric and flexoelectric effects, flow effects, surface anchoring, and applications in liquid crystal displays. Nonlocal effects arise from long-range interactions between liquid crystal molecules.
This document discusses a music magazine media product created by the author. It provides details on the target audience, design conventions used, and what was learned from creating the magazine. The target audience was 16-26 year olds, represented through color scheme, fonts, images, and language focused on indie music. Distribution through a company like IPC Media was considered due to their success with similar magazines. The process taught the author about technologies like Photoshop, blogging, and how mobile/social media could engage the target audience.
This document provides a summary of the 2011-12 annual report from SmartBusiness, which is an initiative of the Greater Halifax Partnership that connects local businesses to resources to help them grow. Some key details include:
- SmartBusiness consulted with 251 businesses in 2011-12 and helped create nearly 2,000 jobs. The top reasons for consultation were expanding business operations, accessing Partnership resources, and workforce development.
- Most businesses surveyed rated Halifax's current business climate as good or excellent and expressed confidence that it would continue improving. However, concerns about workforce availability and quality were commonly cited issues.
- Businesses gave high marks to the city's post-secondary institutions and transportation infrastructure but were more critical of taxation, regulation

The document describes the EU Project Networking Session 2015 that was held on June 3rd 2015 in Portoroz, Slovenia. The session provided an opportunity for EU projects to connect, discuss their research, and identify opportunities for collaboration. The session included one minute "madness presentations" from various projects, a poster session to showcase projects, and thematic tables to facilitate discussions. The purpose was to enable knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and potential future collaborations between EU projects.

Challenging Myths on HRM's Attitudes Towards Growth and Development 2008Halifax Partnership
The document summarizes research on attitudes towards growth and development in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A telephone survey of 1,400 HRM residents found:
1) Most residents see overall economic growth in HRM positively and think it enhances quality of life and opportunities.
2) While some think HRM spends too much on downtown, over half feel they and their neighborhoods will benefit from further downtown growth.
3) Support for tall buildings is higher among younger residents, though a building's visual appeal is important to most.
4) Younger residents are more engaged with downtown and positive about HRM's economic growth.
The document provides the meeting minutes and results from the Albany Area Bassmasters fishing club. It discusses the success of their current tournament season with many members catching their limit. It also summarizes the results of their recent tournament at Saratoga Lake, where Joe Curcurito placed first. The standings after three tournaments so far this season are provided, with Al Dickinson currently in first place overall.
YouTube and Google were used for research and inspiration during planning. A digital camera was used to film shots and iPhoto, iMovie, and Final Cut Pro were used on an Apple computer to develop images, create a stop frame animation, and export the final video. Planning and research were uploaded to a blog using applications like Prezi, Glogster, and Slideshare and shared via embed codes. Evaluations were created as videos, powerpoints, and texts and uploaded to the blog for distribution.
Caching Search Engine Results over Incremental IndicesRoi Blanco
A Web search engine must update its index periodically to incorporate changes to the Web. We argue in this paper that index updates fundamentally impact the design of search engine result caches, a performance-critical component of modern search engines. Index updates lead to the problem of cache invalidation: invalidating cached entries of queries whose results have changed. Naive approaches, such as flushing the entire cache upon every index update, lead to poor performance and in fact, render caching futile when the frequency of updates is high. Solving the invalidation problem efficiently corresponds to predicting accurately which queries will produce different results if re-evaluated, given the actual changes to the index.
To obtain this property, we propose a framework for developing invalidation predictors and define metrics to evaluate invalidation schemes. We describe concrete predictors using this framework and compare them against a baseline that uses a cache invalidation scheme based on time-to-live (TTL). Evaluation over Wikipedia documents using a query log from the Yahoo! search engine shows that selective invalidation of cached search results can lower the number of unnecessary query evaluations by as much as 30% compared to a baseline scheme, while returning results of similar freshness. In general, our predictors enable fewer unnecessary invalidations and fewer stale results compared to a TTL-only scheme for similar freshness of results.

This document is a chapter summary for a chemistry textbook. It discusses different types of chemical compounds including ionic compounds, covalent compounds, acids, and bases. Key points include:
- Ionic compounds form when ions transfer electrons and tend to be brittle solids with high melting points that dissolve in water.
- Covalent compounds form when atoms share electrons and tend to have low melting points and be insoluble in water.
- Acids increase hydronium ions in water and have sour tastes, while bases increase hydroxide ions and have bitter tastes.
The Partnership's Talent Strategy aims to develop Halifax as a global talent magnet and best place to live, work and study. It was launched in 2008 to help address Nova Scotia's declining and aging population and high youth migration rates, which are exacerbating labor shortages. The strategy focuses on attracting immigrants, engaging young professionals, and helping disadvantaged job seekers through programs like the Immigration Connector Program, FUSION Halifax, and the Y2E Project. It also works to enhance opportunities for the African Nova Scotian community. Initial results include employment for 40 immigrants and engagement of over 700 stakeholders in the Y2E Project. The strategy complements other local efforts and takes a collaborative, research-based approach to

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) allows for low power communication between devices. BLE devices are typically powered by button cell batteries and have operating ranges of less than 40 meters. BLE is designed for low cost, low power consumption, and high deployment volumes for uses like the Internet of Things and personal area networks. The document discusses BLE architecture, usage models, services and characteristics that devices provide to communicate functionality, and the iOS Core Bluetooth framework for communicating with BLE devices from iOS apps. It provides demos of using an iPhone as a BLE peripheral and connecting to BLE devices like a key fob simulator and heart rate monitor.
