FINDING THE BALANCE: PROPORTIONALITY, GOOGLE SPAIN, AND THE RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN UNDER THE EUâS GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION
With the EUâs trailblazing new data protection regulation (GDPR) coming into force in late 2018, the importance of data protection and privacy law has been amplified across the globe. Under the EUâs old data protection directive, however, a number of precedents, including the âright to be forgotten,â will likely be impacted by the new regulation. While the European Court of Justiceâs interpretation of this right under the old directive is particularly worrisome, the GDPR could facilitate the continuance of the right as it currently exists or alternatively, serve to narrow it. This article will demonstrate that while there is indeed a strong argument in favor of recognizing a legal âright to be forgotten,â there is also a danger in striking an imbalance between an individualâs right to privacy on one hand, and the publicâs right to information and freedom of expression on the other. While it is likely that the judgment will remain highly persuasive under the new GDPR, this paper will also examine additional protections built into the Regulation, as well as other practical limitations that could assist in keeping the right to be forgotten âin checkâ moving forward
Cornell Cooperative Extension Gains Efficiencies and Increases Capacity with a Central Database
Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) has developed a central database system that replaces many manual processes and streamlines many other administrative procedures. The history of the Central Database Project is provided, and major accomplishments are described. These improvements have increased CCE\u27s ability to comply with state and Federal regulations and with human resources policies. Daily operations are improved with easier access to data and analysis and administrative overhead is controlled, allowing staff to focus on program development and delivery. Finally, the improved technological capacity should increase technological credibility

Shape deformation of embedded metal nanoparticles by swift heavy ion irradiation
an invited paper of SHIM 2008Swift heavy ions (SHI) induce high densities of electronic excitations in narrow cylindrical volumes around their path. These excitations have been used to manipulate the size and shape of noble metal nanoparticles embedded in silica matrix. Films containing noble metal nanoparticles were prepared by magnetron co-sputtering techniques. SHI irradiation of films resulted in the formation of prolate Ag nanoparticles with major axis along the ion beam direction. It has been observed that the nanoparticles smaller than the track size dissolve and other grow at their expense, while the nanoparticles larger than track size show deformation with major axis along the ion beam direction. The aspect ratio of elongated nanoparticles is found to be the function of electronic energy loss and ion fluence. Present report will focus on the role of size and volume fraction on the shape deformation of noble metal nanoparticles by electronic excitation induced by SHI irradiation. The detailed results concerning irradiation effects in silica-metal composites for dissolution, growth and shape deformation will be discussed in the framework of thermal spike model
Damped precession of the magnetization vector of superparamagnetic nanoparticles excited by femtosecond optical pulses
The ultrafast magnetization and electron dynamics of superparamagnetic cobalt nanoparticles, embedded in a dielectric matrix, have been investigated using femtosecond optical pulses. Our experimental approach allows us to bypass the superparamagnetic thermal fluctuations and to observe the trajectory of the magnetization vector which exhibits a strongly damped precession motion. The magnetization precession is damped faster in the superparamagnetic particles than in cobalt films or when the particle size decreases, suggesting that the damping is enhanced at the metal dielectric interface. Our observations question the gyroscopic nature of the magnetization pathway when superparamagnetic fluctuations take place as we discuss in the context of Brownâs model
A DNA nanoswitch incorporating the fluorescent base analogue 2-aminopurine detects single nucleotide mismatches in unlabelled targets
DNA nanoswitches can be designed to detect unlabelled nucleic acid targets and have been shown to discriminate between targets which differ in the identity of only one base. This paper demonstrates that the fluorescent base analogue 2-aminopurine (AP) can be used to discriminate between nanoswitches with and without targets and to discriminate between matched and mismatched targets. In particular, we have used both steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to determine differences in AP environment at the branchpoint of nanoswitches assembled using complementary targets and targets which incorporate single base mismatches
Le syndicalisme dans les transports sous Vichy
La Fédération des transports réunifiée (transports urbains, taxis, routiers notamment en région parisienne, début du transport aérien, Air France, quelques syndicats de tombeliers, ou nettoyeurs) compte en 1938 plus de cent vingt mille adhérents, contre une quarantaine de mille pour les deux fédérations en 1935. Au sein de la Fédération réunifiée, les unitaires et confédérés se retrouvent cÎte à cÎte. EugÚne Jaccoud, ex-confédéré, en devient le secrétaire général en 1935, à la suite du décÚs ..
