  Power Cell Secrets - The...

  The journey toward modern power cell technology began with a simple, yet profound, question: How could we store energy efficiently for future use? Early efforts to store and harness energy date back to the 19th century, but it wasn't until the 20th century that the foundations for power cells—an essential part of our energy storage systems—were truly laid. 
  In the 1950s, the advent of the first rechargeable batteries marked a critical turning point. While earlier technologies had focused on single-use solutions, the development of rechargeable batteries, such as the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, offered a glimpse into the potential for sustainable energy storage. Scientists, engineers, and inventors sought to solve the problem of storing energy in a way that was both compact and reliable, an issue that had long hampered the efficiency of early electrical systems. 
  The early breakthroughs were just the beginning. As the world began to recognize the importance of renewable energy sources—wind, solar, and hydroelectric power—the need for effective energy storage became even more pressing. Renewable energy production, often intermittent, required reliable methods to store excess energy for times when generation was low. This gave rise to research into more efficient and sustainable battery technologies, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in energy storage.

  Henri Nouwen's timeless wisdom reminds us once again of the transformation that love brings, both when we allow ourselves to give love with abandon and when we allow ourselves to receive love. Caregiving too often is reduced to a list of tasks—doing the things that another individual cannot do independently. In six weeks of daily devotions inspired by the words of Henri Nouwen and intertwined with Scripture and prayer, Hope for Caregivers summons us away from our lists for a few moments each day and draws us to a fresh framework for the experience of giving care.

  Pulmonology - Lung Diseases and...

  Pulmonology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the respiratory system. The respiratory system, comprising the lungs, airways, and associated structures, is vital for the process of respiration, which allows the body to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Pulmonology addresses a broad range of conditions, from common ailments like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to more complex disorders such as lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, and interstitial lung disease. This field plays a critical role in ensuring optimal lung health and preventing the potentially debilitating effects of respiratory conditions. 
  The importance of pulmonology has grown significantly in recent years due to the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases worldwide. Factors such as air pollution, smoking, and the global rise in respiratory infections have contributed to the heightened demand for specialized care in pulmonology. Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Early diagnosis, effective treatment, and ongoing management are key to improving quality of life and reducing the burden of these diseases on patients and healthcare systems. 
  Pulmonologists are medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing and treating respiratory diseases. They are trained to perform a variety of diagnostic procedures, including pulmonary function tests, imaging studies, and bronchoscopy, to assess lung function and identify underlying conditions. Pulmonologists also manage respiratory diseases through a combination of pharmacological treatments, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions. They work closely with other healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, oncologists, and thoracic surgeons, to deliver comprehensive care for patients with complex respiratory conditions.

  Data Equals - Democratic...

  An expansive vision for data equality that goes beyond algorithmic fairness. 
   
  When we gave algorithms power over our world, we hoped that the apparent neutrality of machine thinking would create a more egalitarian age. Yet we are more divided than ever, staring down threats to democracy itself. In Data Equals, Colin Koopman argues that data technologies fail us so often because we built them around a deficient notion of equality. 
   
  It is not enough, Koopman explains, that algorithms engage everyone’s data with the same measuring stick. The data themselves are all too often structured in ways that obscure and exacerbate stratifying distinctions. Koopman contends that we must also work to ensure that those people subject to computational assessment enter data systems on equal terms. Part philosophical argument, part practical guide (replete with case studies from education technology), Data Equals offers novel methods for realizing democratic equality in a digital age.
