Knowledge, Information, and Business Education in the British Atlantic World, 1620–1760
Accurate information is essential to successful business activity.The early modern period saw an increase in printed commercial information, including newspapers, printed exchange rates, and educational texts--part of the 'print revolution' that permeated all aspects of the early modern world.Rather than relying on externally-produced printed works, commercial agents retained agency in creating and sharing their own business and educational information, which was shared in other forms and prioritised and valued over printed material.This book explores the ways that merchants and other commercial agents learned about business in the early modern British Atlantic World.It considers how they acquired, dispersed, stored, and used information, as well as considering their contribution to creating and shaping that information.Prioritising a wide range of manuscript material held in disparate collections, including merchants' correspondence, letter-books, notebooks, family papers, exercise books, and ships' logs, Talbott explores the ways that knowledge, information, and business education was created, circulated, and used in the early modern British Atlantic World.It offers a new perspective on the exchange of business information in a period dominated by discussions of print, prioritising manuscript and oral forms of exchange.In doing so, it presents a more holistic account of the ways that networks of knowledge operated in early modern business, centralising the creation, circulation, and use of business information specifically by those individuals most involved in--and most affected by--its production.

Which wind direction: west wind or east wind?
The direction of the wind depends on the location of the observer. In general, a west wind blows from the west to the east, while an east wind blows from the east to the west. In the Northern Hemisphere, a west wind typically brings milder and moister air, while an east wind can bring colder and drier air. In the Southern Hemisphere, the opposite is true. The specific effects of west and east winds can vary depending on local geography and weather patterns.
-
Can wind turbines align themselves with the wind?
Yes, modern wind turbines are equipped with technology that allows them to align themselves with the wind. This is typically achieved through a combination of sensors, motors, and control systems that can adjust the orientation of the turbine blades to optimize their angle in relation to the wind direction. By continuously monitoring the wind and making real-time adjustments, wind turbines can maximize their energy production efficiency. This ability to self-align with the wind helps to ensure that wind turbines are able to capture as much energy as possible from the wind.

How do pilots actually receive weather data, such as wind information?
Pilots receive weather data, including wind information, through a variety of sources. They can obtain real-time weather updates from air traffic control, which provides information on wind speed and direction at different altitudes. Pilots also use onboard weather radar systems to detect and track weather patterns, including wind patterns. Additionally, they can access weather reports and forecasts through aviation weather services, such as the National Weather Service, which provide detailed information on wind conditions along their flight route.
-
Why are wind turbines shut down when wind speeds are low?
Wind turbines are shut down when wind speeds are low because they are not able to generate enough power to make their operation cost-effective. When wind speeds are low, the turbines are not able to spin fast enough to generate significant electricity. In addition, low wind speeds can also cause the turbines to wear out faster due to the stress of trying to operate at low speeds. Therefore, shutting down the turbines during low wind speeds helps to preserve their longevity and efficiency.

The Teaching and Learning of Social Research Methods : Developments in Pedagogical Knowledge
The importance of the teaching and learning of social research methods is increasingly recognised by research councils and policy bodies as crucial to the drive to increase capacity amongst the research community.The need for greater scholarly engagement with how research methods are taught and learnt is also driven by the realisation that epistemological and methodological developments have not been accompanied by a pedagogical literature or culture.Training initiatives need this pedagogic input if they are to realise the educational aspirations for methodologically skilled and competent researchers, able to apply, adapt and reflect on a range of high-level research methods and approaches.The contributors to this collection have fully engaged with this need to develop and share pedagogical knowledge in relation to the teaching of research methods.Together they span qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, a range of disciplinary and national contexts, and face-to-face and blended teaching and learning.Through detailed examples, the collection addresses how best teaching practices develop in response to distinctive challenges that will resonate with readers; in so doing it will inspire and inform their own development.This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Social Research Methodology.

What are wind gaps?
Wind gaps are geological features formed by the erosion of a river or stream that once flowed through a mountain range. As the river erodes the rock, it creates a gap or notch in the mountain range. Over time, the river may change course or dry up, leaving behind a gap that is now crossed by a road or trail. Wind gaps are often characterized by a V-shaped notch in the mountain range and can provide important clues about the geological history of an area.
-
Can the wind freeze?
No, the wind itself cannot freeze. Wind is the movement of air, and while the temperature of the air can certainly be cold enough to freeze, the wind itself is simply the movement of that air. However, strong winds can contribute to the wind chill effect, making it feel much colder than the actual air temperature.
-
How does wind form?
Wind is formed by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun, which creates differences in air pressure. As the warm air rises, it creates a low-pressure area, and the cooler air rushes in to fill the void, creating wind. The Earth's rotation also plays a role in the formation of wind, as it causes the wind to curve and create different wind patterns around the globe.
