An atlas is a collection of maps; it is typically a map of Earth or a region of Earth, but there are atlases of the other planets (and their satellites) in the Solar System. Furthermore, atlases of anatomy exist, mapping out the human body or other organisms. Atlases have traditionally been bound into book form, but today many atlases are in multimedia formats. In addition to presenting geographic features and political boundaries, many atlases often feature geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. They also have information about the map and places in it.
The word atlas dates from 1636, first in reference to the English translation of Atlas, sive cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi (1585) by Flemish geographer Gerhardus Mercator, who might have been the first to use this word in this way. A picture of the Titan Atlas holding up the world appeared on the frontispiece of this and other early map collections.
The first work that contained systematically arranged woodcut maps of uniform size, intended to be published in a book, thus representing the first modern atlas, was De Summa totius Orbis (1524–26) by the 16th-century Italian cartographer Pietro Coppo. Nonetheless, this distinction is conventionally awarded to the Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius who in 1570 published the collection of maps Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.
Data (/ˈdeɪtə/ DAY-tə, /ˈdætə/ DA-tə, or /ˈdɑːtə/ DAH-tə) is a set of values of qualitative or quantitative variables; restated, pieces of data are individual pieces of information. Data is measured, collected and reported, and analyzed, whereupon it can be visualized using graphs or images. Data as a general concept refers to the fact that some existing information or knowledge is represented or coded in some form suitable for better usage or processing.
Raw data, i.e. unprocessed data, is a collection of numbers, characters; data processing commonly occurs by stages, and the "processed data" from one stage may be considered the "raw data" of the next. Field data is raw data that is collected in an uncontrolled in situ environment. Experimental data is data that is generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording.
The Latin word "data" is the plural of "datum", and still may be used as a plural noun in this sense. Nowadays, though, "data" is most commonly used in the singular, as a mass noun (like "information", "sand" or "rain").

In this example, the customer credit rating and credit limit columns are being managed from Excel. An Atlas List report is done to get the current data from AX 2012. Change the two columns and use Atlas to then update AX. Refresh the Atlas workbook first to ensure you're getting the current data ( ie if it changes inside AX you need this to reflect in your spreadsheet). let us know what you think of this clip Stay current www..globesoftware.com.au http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4928667 https://twitter.com/Atlas4Dynamics

The data from the ATLAS experiment at CERN can be analysed in all sorts of different ways. It can teach us about some of the most fundamental aspects of the universe and give us an amazing canvas to make art. The Quantizer platform helps composers to turn the ATLAS data into sounds. It can have practical applications or just be used to make music. By changing the different requirements on what musical notes are allowed to be played by different instruments, the data from the ATLAS detector can be made to sound like a pleasant strings trio or a rock band. How "should" it sound like? Well, that's up to the composer.

The Evolution of Time and the Carnot Cycle at the Edge of the Universe By Gavin Wince We are all time travelers... drifting through time at a steady pace, one moment at a time. In what direction are we moving through time? Or does time move through us? How many dimensions of time are there? Though slightly allegorical, three-dimensional time offers physics new parameters, accounting for conventional and exotic physical phenomena, while maintaining the conservation of energy and symmetry groups found in physical law. I began playing with the idea that all of physics could be reduced to just interactions between spatial and temporal coordinates. I wondered if inertia and momentum might be composed strictly of temporal components. This would require extra time dimensions. Could inertia o...

The National Equity Atlas is a powerful online data and policy tool that helps local advocates track, measure, and make the case for equitable growth. This webinar is designed for organizations that are working to advance racial and economic equity across many policy domains. The webinar, sponsored by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, featured a live demonstration of the Atlas, which provides 31 indicators of demographic change, racial and economic inclusion, and the potential economic gains from racial equity for the 100 largest cities, 150 largest regions, all 50 states, and nationwide. Beyond its charts and maps, the Atlas also shares policy ideas, data analyses, and community equity profiles, examples of how communities are using equity data to drive policy change, and more. The Atlas wa...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the giant particle accelerator at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, will restart operations in 2015, at higher energies and intensities than ever before. In its first run, the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS discovered the long-sought Higgs boson. Now, researchers are gearing up to search for new and even more exotic phenomena. Many of the possibilities involve particles that decay to the bottom quark, a rare and unusual species of quark with a distinctive appearance in particle detectors. Identifying and measuring bottom quarks in LHC collisions requires extremely high-speed silicon pixel detectors. In this lecture, SLAC's Michael Kagan describes the cutting-edge technology used to image bottom quarks and its use in the search for new types of elem...
