EU-Funded Tool To Help Our Brain Deal With Big Data
Every single minute, the world generates 1.7 million billion bytes of data, equal to 360,000 DVDs. How can our brain deal with increasingly big and complex datasets? EU researchers are developing an interactive system which not only presents data the way you like it, but also changes the presentation constantly in order to prevent brain overload. The project could enable students to study more efficiently or journalists to cross check sources more quickly. Several museums in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the United States have already showed interest in the new technology.

UK M&A Stood At £37.5bn In H1 2014 – Mergermarket
Mergermarket’s H1 2014 UK M&A deals round up, revealed that:
- M&A activity targeting the United Kingdom stood at £37.5bn, representing the lowest half-year value since H1 2010 (£37bn) and a 12.5% drop from H1 2013 (£42.9bn)
- Only one mega-deal (valued above US$ 5bn) has been announced in the region so far this year – the £8.6bn acquisition of the Oncology division of GlaxoSmithKline by its German peer Novartis. The lack of large transactions in the country pulled the UK M&A value down this semester
- The second quarter of 2014 witnessed a stark improvement compared to the previous quarter (up 156.5%, from £10.5bn to £27bn) and represented the highest quarterly value in the country since Q2 2012
- Pharma, Medical & Biotech (PMB) sector, driven by the Novartis/ GlaxoSmithKline deal, was the most active industry with a 26.9% market share (£10.1bn), and is in line with PMB leading Global M&A with a 16.5% market share. The proportion of PMB M&A in the UK and globally would have been even larger if the £69bn proposed acquisition of AstraZeneca by Pfizer went through

The recession that began in the United States in December 2007 ended in June 2009.
