Today, much of the focus on integrating Geospatial technology and data has been on the operations side of the business. Not much attention has been paid to the workflow within the project environment even though most of the data that is used to populate enterprise datasets is created or prepared as a requirement of a project; that said; it is early on at the project level when geospatial integration needs to be implemented and incorporated into the project workflow. On the other hand, project teams have historically focused on strictly satisfying the needs of the project. This is typically limited to the minimum work required to design, permit & build a given work scope. This approach has left many companies with the task of paying high costs for the project data to be translated, captured or in some cases recreated after the fact. Too many times, Gas Company X hires multiple consultants with different disciplines responsible for different project scope items (i.e. Environmental, Right-of-way, Engineering, etc...). Each company has established methods for preparing and organizing their respective data without ever thinking how Gas Company X intends on using the data for other enterprise needs during the project and after the project has been completed. This presentation outlines methods by which companies can require that their project consultants produce project data with geospatial integration in mind. This includes identification of required resources & workflows to specify and manage the data that is prepared and/or collected in a structured environment that is geospatially & data aware.

Academic libraries need to store, preserve, and manage scholars' intellectual output, hence the importance of research data management in academic libraries. This chapter focuses on research data management in academic libraries, and it aims at examining the concept of research data, which is referred to as the evidence used to inform or support research conclusions, while data management, on the other hand involves planning for and creating data, organizing, structuring, and documenting data, backing up and storing data, and preparing data for analysis to share with others or to preserve for the long-term.

Definition Of

Over the past decades, it has become more and more obvious that the banking system has contributed to the implementation of sustainability goals in a more committed manner in terms of both its institutional operation and in the course of the fulfilment of its tasks. In domestic context, there have been initiatives; however, it may be necessary to lay down principles pointing towards sustainable banking, which can strengthen the sustainability of the banking sector at systemic level, as well as the contribution of banks to the achievement of sustainability goals. On the one hand, the study introduces successful legislative initiatives related to the 22-point digitalisation proposal package of the Hungarian Banking Association, on the other hand, it points out that long-term sustainability and competitiveness of banking operation can be achieved by the optimisation of current processes as well as by effective and competitive data management through green financing activity. The definition of more exact steps along the aforementioned goals can lead to spectacular advancement in the fields of strengthening the sustainability and the sustainability effect of the Hungarian banking system.

Sudden Rise

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.

Transmission Microscope

We have become accustomed to differentiating between the scanning microscope and the conventional transmission microscope according to the resolving power which the two instruments offer. The conventional microscope is capable of a point resolution of a few angstroms and line resolutions of periodic objects of about 1Å. On the other hand, the scanning microscope, in its normal form, is not ordinarily capable of a point resolution better than 100Å. Upon examining reasons for the 100Å limitation, it becomes clear that this is based more on tradition than reason, and in particular, it is a condition imposed upon the microscope by adherence to thermal sources of electrons.

Life beyond 1MeV – like life after 40 – is not too different unless one takes advantage of past experience and is receptive to new opportunities. At first glance, the returns on performing electron microscopy at voltages greater than 1MeV diminish rather rapidly as the curves which describe the well-known advantages of HVEM often tend towards saturation. However, in a country with a significant HVEM capability, a good case can be made for investing in instruments with a range of maximum accelerating voltages. In this regard, the 1.5MeV KRATOS HVEM being installed in Berkeley will complement the other 650KeV, 1MeV, and 1.2MeV instruments currently operating in the U.S. One other consideration suggests that 1.5MeV is an optimum voltage machine – Its additional advantages may be purchased for not much more than a 1MeV instrument. On the other hand, the 3MeV HVEM's which seem to be operated at 2MeV maximum, are much more expensive.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

Group Memberships

Abstract. Not all group memberships are self-chosen. The current research examines whether assignments to non-preferred groups influence our relationship with the group and our preference for information about the ingroup. It was expected and found that, when people are assigned to non-preferred groups, they perceive the group as different to the self, experience negative emotions about the assignment and in turn disidentify with the group. On the other hand, when people are assigned to preferred groups, they perceive the group as similar to the self, experience positive emotions about the assignment and in turn identify with the group. Finally, disidentification increases a preference for negative information about the ingroup.
