TL;DR: The ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes as mentioned in this paper, which is an international initiative to build the next generation instrument, with a factor of 5-10 improvement in sensitivity in the 100 GeV-10 TeV range and the extension to energies well below 100GeV and above 100 TeV.
Abstract: Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has a huge potential in astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology. CTA is an international initiative to build the next generation instrument, with a factor of 5-10 improvement in sensitivity in the 100 GeV-10 TeV range and the extension to energies well below 100 GeV and above 100 TeV. CTA will consist of two arrays (one in the north, one in the south) for full sky coverage and will be operated as open observatory. The design of CTA is based on currently available technology. This document reports on the status and presents the major design concepts of CTA.

TL;DR: In this article, the specific nature of vegetable oils and the effect of their structures on the structure of polyols and polyurethanes are discussed and the environmental aspects of bio-based polyureths are discussed.
Abstract: Vegetable oils are excellent but very heterogeneous renewable raw materials for polyols and polyurethanes. This review discusses the specific nature of vegetable oils and the effect of their structures on the structure of polyols and polyurethanes. One section is dedicated to polyols for rigid and flexible foams and methods of their preparation such as direct oxidation of oils, epoxidation followed by ring opening, hydroformylation, ozonolysis, and transesterification. The next section deals with preparation and structure‐property relationships in polyurethanes from different groups of polyols, different isocyanates, and different degrees of crosslinking. The final section covers the environmental aspects of bio‐based polyurethanes, i.e., thermal stability, hydrolytic stability, and some aspects of biodegradability.

TL;DR: This text will fit best in an MIS course where students have to do a lot of hands-on, problem-solving projects, especially on the Internet, and works well for professors who want an interactive, engaging experience.
Abstract: From the Publisher: Management Information Systems for the Information Age,3rd edition maintains the unique overall approach of the successful second edition: the right mix of traditional and leading edge topical coverage along with LOTS of hands-on,problem-solving projects. Haag works well for professors (and students) who want a very interactive,engaging experience,and for those who want to see a strong tie to the latest and greatest on the Internet and corresponding textbook website. Haag is equally appropriate for both business and non-business majors. This revision now clearly distinguishes between technical and managerial topics key to MIS by organizing the technology coverage into Modules and the managerial material into Chapters. In response to feedback from both users and non-users,the chapters have been slightly reorganized to incorporate increased coverage of E-Commerce and E-Business (now a full chapter 5). Pedagogical features have been retained but fine-tuned and the vibrant design has been toned down to reflect fewer features on a page.
