Bones collection of Lena Delta reserve Tiksi, Appendix 4-6

Remains of large Pleistocene mammals always attract attention. Scientists and local people who work and live in the Laptev Sea Region find and collect various bones and fragments of large mammals. Some of them are brought to the Lena Delta Reserve. Mammal remains of the "Mammoth fauna" are the most common artifacts in the paleontological collection of the Lena Delta Reserve museum. The collection includes single bones, fragments of skeletons, bones with soft tissues and hair of Late Pleistocene and Holocene specimens. It consists of nearly 300 samples. The museum was created thanks to the enthusiasm of Dr. A. Gukov, the present director of the reserve. Employees of the reserve, school teachers, pupils and other interested people also contribute. The first specimens were collected in 1985. They were bison bones collected by Yarlykov Yu. A. on Makar Island (Yana Delta Region) near the Makar polar station; Efimov S. N. found horse and reindeer bones on the Myostakh Cape, Bykovsky Peninsula (Lena Delta Region). Mammoth and reindeer bones were collected by Gukov A. Yu. during the same year on Kurungnakh-Sise Island. Over more than 20 years many people have presented their finds to the reserve. These are samples from different islands of the Lena Delta Region, from the New Siberian Islands, from the Yana Delta Region, and from the southern coasts of the Laptev and East Siberian Seas. Most of the collection consists of bones from the Bykovsky Peninsula (about 100 samples) as well as from the islands of the Lena Delta Region. Unfortunately not all samples have exact information about their origins or is geological information available for all finds. It is typical for this exhibition that the finds were collected by amateurs (not during geological or paleontological expeditions). A considerable portion of the collection consists of finds of Dr. A. Gukov from different locations within the Lena Delta Reserve. In 2001 Dr. A. Sher delivered about 40 samples from the Bykovsky Peninsula (Mamontovy Khayata) to the museum.

Generador de código para BBDD Oracle

RESUMEN Las empresas tienen programas que acceden a sus bases de datos, estos programas pueden quedarse obsoletos o dejar de serles útiles por alguna razón y deben ser actualizados o reemplazados. Sin embargo la base de datos se suele mantener, ya que la estructura de la información no cambia. Llegado el momento de actualizar o migrar ese software que accede a la base de datos, se puede recurrir a una estructura de clases, las cuales están basadas en la metainformación de la base de datos, y así facilitar el desarrollo del nuevo software. La herramienta desarrollada en este proyecto accede a la metainformación de la base de datos, obtiene la estructura de las tablas y a través de plantillas genera las clases necesarias para empezar el nuevo software. Al estar la herramienta basada en plantillas, adaptar éstas a un nuevo lenguaje es sencillo, haciendo la herramienta mucho más polivalente. En conclusión, una herramienta de este tipo puede facilitar el desarrollo de un nuevo software siempre que la estructura de la base de datos se mantenga intacta haciendo que el nuevo proyecto se desarrolle de forma más rápida. ABSTRACT Companies have software that access their databases, this software can become obsolete or fail to be useful for some reason and must be upgraded or replaced. However the database is usually maintained as the information does not change. It is for this reason that when you migrate the software that accesses the database can use a class structure based on information in the database to facilitate the development of new software. The tool developed in this project accesses the metadata of the database to obtain the structure of the tables and through templates generate the necessary classes to start the new software. Being template‐based tool, adapt these to a new language is simple, making a more versatile tool. In conclusion, a tool of this kind can facilitate the development of a new software provided that the structure of the database is intact making the new project develops more quickly.

Defying the Oracle? The 2014 Greek Presidency of the EU Council. EPIN Working Paper No. 36, February 2014

The Greek government would like to promote the idea that the country is an equal partner in the EU system of governance, despite the country's economic, political, and social implosion. This presidency is characterised by poor leadership and a lack of vision. It is being called upon to coordinate a presidential agenda without being substantially involved in its drafting; it simply mediates between European institutions. This trend has a negative impact on the behaviour and trust of public administrators, whose personal investment is vital for the smooth functioning of the presidency. The paper concludes that Greece’s presidency of the Council of the EU cannot be the standard-bearer for a pro-European message.
