Elsevier Quotes

I never talk to candidates about their CVs," says Dan Olley, EVP of product development and CIO of Elsevier, the global information solutions provider. "They can write and I can read; we know that." Rather than focus on skills and experiences, Olley interviews for two raw capabilities: "Clear thinkers—people who can cut through day-to-day ambiguity to create clarity on how to move forward; and strategic pragmatists—people who are strategic enough to make a plan but pragmatic enough to know that they might not implement all of it.

Esther Lee, Tom Hughes, Anya Hayden and Ashley Heyer for their work on this book. Finally, I appreciate the patience and guidance extended to me by my contacts at Elsevier, especially Scott Bentley,

See Cook [op.cit.] for a discussion of Huygens’s unusual wartime visit to Cambridge and the Royal Society. His philosophical contretemps with Isaac Newton in 1675 (referenced in Society minutes as “The Great Corpuscular Debate”) would mark the last significant intellectual discourse between England and the continent prior to the chaos of the Interregnum and the Annexation . . . Some Newton biographers [Winchester (1867), &c] indicate Huygens may have used his sojourn in Cambridge to access Newton’s alchemical journals and that key insights derived thusly may have been instrumental to Huygens’s monumental breakthrough. However, cf. Hooft [1909] and references therein for a critique of the forensic alchemy underlying this assertion. From Freeman, Thomas S., A History of the Pre-Annexation England from Hastings to the Glorious Revolution, 3 Vols. New Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1918.

Obtenir les règles de la chimie est un problème ouvert difficile. La base de données chimique la plus importante est probablement Reaxys, propriété d'Elsevier. Reaxys tire ses données de 16 000 journaux scientifiques et brevets, couvrant la période de 1771 à nos jours. Près de 20 millions de composants chimiques et 16 millions de réactions sont disponibles et utilisables pour apprendre les règles. Toute approche devrait surmonter beaucoup de défis, y compris les avocats. Certaines difficultés consistent à déterminer pour chaque réaction quels atomes de gauche correspondent à quels autres atomes de droite; à identifier le contexte nécessaire à une transformation qui pourrait inclure des pièces none affectées mais néanmoins nécessaires; à estimer la faisabilité énergétique; à évaluer la stéréochimie; à identifier les conditions de réaction, telles que le type de support catalytique et de solvant, ainsi que la température et la pression.

A year-long study by the University of Pennsylvania, ending in 2009 and published in the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science (Elsevier), showed that aggressive dogs who were trained with aggressive, confrontational, or aversive training techniques, such as being stared at, growled at, rolled onto their backs, or hit, continued their aggressive ways. Non-aversive training methods, such as exercise or rewards, were very successful in reducing or eliminating aggressive responses.
