Transportation Library Connectivity Pooled Fund Study, TPF-5(105)
Author: Maggie Sacco
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Knowledge management
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
This report is a record of the formation, major activities and accomplishments of the Transportation Library Connectivity pooled fund study, TPF-5(105), from its approval by FHWA in 2005 through its fifth and final annual meeting in September 2010. Some 50 state departments of transportation, 600 transit agencies and nearly 400 metropolitan planning organizations generate a staggering amount of valuable information, yet the transportation sector lacks a systematic approach to effectively manage this information. This challenge has been well-documented in reports such as the Federal Highway Administration's Value of Information and Information Services; the National Cooperative Highway Research Program's Scoping Study for a National Strategic Plan for Transportation Information Management; and the Transportation Research Board's Special Report 284, Transportation Knowledge Networks: A Management Strategy for the 21st Century. The Transportation Library Connectivity pooled fund study was formed against the backdrop of these challenges and developments. By working together more closely and more formally as transportation agency libraries, members improved services to their customers and also enhanced their readiness to embrace the planned policy changes recommended by TRB SR 284 for inclusion in the next surface transportation funding act. During its five years, study membership grew from 11 members in nine states to 25 members in 22 states. A new pooled fund study, to be led by Missouri DOT, is being formed to build upon the achievements of this study.

Book Description
Are you among the tens of thousands of people who have lost a dramatic amount of weight? If so, congratulations! You did it! Those years of struggling and failed diets are behind you. Perhaps you did it through weight loss surgery. Or, perhaps it was through diet and exercise. Either way, you have created a new body and a new life for yourself. But, now that the weight is gone, are you left with extra skin? If so, it likely causes you embarrassment and perhaps hygiene problems as well. Fortunately, body contouring surgery can help restore a more natural look to your body. The authors of this book, respected plastic surgeons, have performed hundreds of body contouring procedures on weight loss patients, and they understand your concerns as you explore having reconstructive surgery. Among the questions they answer are: &• How soon after surgery can I have excess skin be removed? &• Which surgery should I have first? &• How many surgeries can I have at one time? &• Should I have a tummy tuck or a body lift? &• Will I have much pain after contouring surgery? &• Can my breasts be restored to normal? &• Where will scars from the surgery be visible? &• When can I return to work and resume physical activity? &• What about fees? Will insurance pay? The book contains 136 color illustrations and photos, including dozens of "before & after" photos of surgery patients, as well as an appendix, resource section, glossary, and index.
