Tutorial at OAI5 (cern.ch/oai5). Abstract: This tutorial will provide a practical overview of current practices in modelling complex or compound digital objects. It will examine some of the key scenarios around creating complex objects and will explore a number of approaches to packaging and transport. Taking research papers, or scholarly works, as an example, the tutorial will explore the different ways in which these, and their descriptive metadata, can be treated as complex objects. Relevant application profiles and metadata formats will be introduced and compared, such as Dublin Core, in particular the DCMI Abstract Model, and MODS, alongside content packaging standards, such as METS MPEG 21 DIDL and IMS CP. Finally, we will consider some future issues and activities that are seeking to address these. The tutorial will be of interest to librarians and technical staff with an interest in metadata or complex objects, their creation, management and re-use.
Adverb phrase in english and arabic languagemoudi123
This document presents a comparison between English adverb phrases and Arabic adverb phrases. In 3 sentences:
An adverb phrase in both English and Arabic consists of one or more words with the adverb as the head, and can be used to modify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, or appear in equational sentences. English adverb phrases more commonly modify verbs and be verbs, while Arabic adverb phrases are usually adverbs of place or time and strongly bound to the main verb. Both function as a single unit within a clause or sentence.
The world is running short of time and option at social and economic front in view of high risks related with global warming and climate change, which is a result of the “enhanced greenhouse effect” mainly due to human induced release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere (IPCC, 2007). The GHGs inventories are going on all over the world and every possible method to control them are being recognized and evaluated. Carbon footprint is a measure of the exclusive total amount of carbon dioxide emissions that is directly and indirectly caused by an activity or is accumulated over the life stages of a product (Pandey et al., 2011). The crop production contributes significantly to global carbon emissions at different stage of crop through the production and use of farm machinery, crop protection chemicals such as herbicides, insecticides and fungicides, and fertilizer (Hillier et al., 2012). Pathak et al.(2010) calculated the carbon footprint of 24 Indian food items and reported that in the production of these food item 87% emission came from food production followed by preparation (10%), processing (2%) and transportation (1%). Maheswarappa et al. (2011) reported that the C-sustainability index (increase in C output as % of C-based input) of Indian agriculture has decreased with time (from 7 in 1960-61 to 3 in 2008-9). Agricultural uses, including both food production and consumption, contribute the most reactive nitrogen (Nr) to the global environment. Once lost to the environment, the nitrogen moves through the Earth’s atmosphere, forests, grasslands and waters causing a cascade of environmental changes that negatively impact both people and ecosystems. Leach et al. (2012) developed a tool called N-Calculator, a nitrogen footprint model that provides information on how to reduce Nr to the environment. Therefore, Quantification of GHGs from each stage of lifecycle of a product gives complete picture of its impact on global warming and provides necessary information to develop low C technology and mitigation option not only for industrial product but also for agricultural produce. The C and N footprint for a given field will allow growers, advisors and policy makers to make informed decisions about management to optimize crop production, biodiversity and carbon footprint.
Economics of nitrogen sources and rates in a long term cropping systemLPE Learning Center
The full proceedings paper is at: www.extension.org/72759
The main goal of the study is to determine the singular or combined effects of crop rotation, tillage system, N fertility levels and sources on crop grain and biomass production, crop diseases, and soil attributes (nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter and pH). Secondly, our goal is to assess the economics of some of the crops grown in the experimental area during the period of time from 2008-2014. The results presented in this summary show that composted manure can replace commercial fertilizer applications in a crop rotation system, maintaining the same level of yields and increasing profits during a 7-year period.

Approaches in teaching and learning k to 12 Charlyn David
This document outlines how literature should be taught in language arts classes. It recommends using literature to teach reading and language arts skills, as literature emphasizes their connections and engages students. It presents themes to explore like appreciating oneself and linking with the world. Literature should be taught based on Philippine works from different periods rather than by genre. Informative texts can complement literary works by expanding themes and teaching media literacy. A communicative grammar approach is advocated using elicitation, generalization, practice, and expansion. Culminating student performances should integrate study strategies and balance individual and group work.
The document provides guidelines for students to follow in selecting and using teaching strategies during their field study, including focusing on applying principles like ensuring learning is active, involving multiple senses, creating a non-threatening environment, incorporating emotion, going beyond recall, relating lessons to real life, and using an integrated approach.

The document discusses the key differences between phrases and clauses. It defines a phrase as a small group of words that form a conceptual unit and part of a clause, but does not contain both a subject and a verb.

Different words have different grammatical functions in sentences. These functions are called word classes or parts of speech, which include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, determiners, pronouns, conjunctions, and complementizers. Words that denote objects and ideas are called content words, while function words that do not denote objects aid the structure of sentences. Verbs inflect based on tense, person, number and voice to indicate grammatical relationships between subjects and objects.
Here are the phrases identified in each sentence:
1. Drinking cold lemonade - gerund phrase
2. to be repaired - infinitive phrase
3. on the board - prepositional phrase
4. Having blocked a punt - absolute phrase
5. Mrs. Phelps, our neighbor - appositive phrase

Literature is any form of writing that deals with significant human experiences and is artistically conceived to have an effect. It uses language and imagination to create a fictional world that reflects reality. There are two main types of literature - oral and written. Literature can be classified into genres such as prose, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. Prose can be further divided into fiction and non-fiction.

Poetry relies more on figures of speech, symbolism, imagery, rhythm, and sound patterns. Major forms of drama include tragedy, comedy, melodrama

Philippine Literature (Short Story) - 'The Bread of Salt'Andrea May Malonzo
This summary provides the key details from the short story "The Bread of Salt" by NVM Gonzalez:
The narrator is a 14-year-old boy living with his grandmother in 1958. Each morning he would walk to the bakery with 15 centavos to buy rolls for breakfast, watching the bakers work. He dreamed of the Spanish man's large house near the sea and had feelings for his classmate Aida. He practiced the violin diligently, hoping to earn money to buy a gift for Aida before she left town for Christmas. The story depicts the narrator's youthful longing for love and his dedication to improving himself through music.
Early Philippine literature was passed down orally and written using indigenous scripts like baybayin. Common forms included songs, riddles, proverbs and epics. Songs varied by region and occasion, from lullabies to love songs. Riddles often used metaphor and rhyme. Major ethnic groups had their own epics that were orally transmitted and featured supernatural elements. Early literature provided insights into pre-colonial Philippine societies before Spanish influence.
