Additionally, the building of hype was a large motivator. There was a small but widespread number of toxic comments. This research shows that Twitch.tv acts as a center for communities to grow around unique streamers and the potential significance of the platform itself

Effects of Halogen Bonding on 13C NMR Shifts of Various Tolan Species

Halogen bonding is slowly becoming a more and more useful part of the world of chemistry and is beginning to be incorporated into various aspects of the chemical industry. This study’s purpose is to determine whether or not halogen bonding can cause any effect in the 13C NMR shifts. The specific purpose of this study is to determine whether these chemical shifts change when a Lewis Base is added to the dissolved sample. In order to do this, the tolan species (4-iodotolan and 4-chlorotolan) had to be synthesized. Once synthesized, the tolan species were analyzed via NMR. NMR data indicated that, although there is some halogen bonding going on, the extent to which it is going on is not known. Similarly, there are many effects and phenomena in play that are simply unknown at this time and need a great deal of study

The Use of Vulnerability Assessments: a Survey

One of the most significant challenges faced by senior business and technology managers is securing organizational data in light of rising threats and compliance requirements. The use of vulnerability assessments has stood out as one strategy to help protect against malicious computer attacks. Vulnerability assessments are conducted to identify security holes within information systems, including networks, servers, and applications. These assessments can be performed by an organization\u27s internal staff or outsourced to a third-party vendor. Outsourcing is especially important for small organizations who typically do not have the resources or expertise to conduct their own vulnerability assessment. This thesis will investigate vulnerability assessments and the security of data in small organizations. Although the literature on information systems security is immense, little seems to exist on the security weaknesses of small organizations and the safeguards that vulnerability assessments can provide. This thesis will examine the literature, develop a methodology, and present the results of survey responses from at least five third-party vulnerability assessment organizations. The study intends to show the common weaknesses faced by small organizations and make recommendations on common countermeasures
