Earthquake Prediction
Scientists aim to predict, protect from, and prepare for earthquakes by monitoring seismic activity, animal behavior, and structural changes. Effective preparation includes developing early warning systems, coordinating emergency response plans, and educating the public on safety precautions. Engineers design earthquake-resistant buildings using techniques like base isolation, bracing, and damping to minimize structural damage and risks to occupants.

Migration - IB Geography Labour Flows
Migration between Mexico and the United States is a complex issue with many causes and effects. Poverty and lack of opportunities in Mexico push many to migrate north, where there are more jobs and higher wages in the United States. However, illegal migration across the long border is a problem that costs both countries millions to address. While migrant workers benefit the US economy through their low-cost labor, they are also seen as drain and can cause social tensions. Remittances from migrants have become an important source of income for Mexico, but migration also creates imbalances like labor shortages and changes to family structure in Mexican towns.
Nevado del ruiz 1985
The 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia was made deadly due to secondary effects of the eruption. The eruption melted the ice cap atop the volcano, causing massive lahars or mudflows that buried the town of Armero, killing nearly 23,000 people. While the primary eruption was not particularly powerful, a lack of early warning and effective evacuation led to the large loss of life. Lessons from this disaster emphasized improving monitoring of volcanoes to better predict eruptions and evacuate threatened populations.
Venice case study - Information Sheet
To go side by side with the YouTube video. Not written by me, just discovered on the internet. Thanks to authors.
Venice translation sheet.
The document discusses several problems with tourism in Venice. It notes that most tourism is "bite and run" where visitors only stay briefly. This type of mass tourism overwhelms the city and its infrastructure. Locals struggle with overcrowded boats and streets, as well as disrespectful behavior from some tourists. Suggested solutions include implementing small ticket taxes to fund cleanliness, separating tourist and local boat transportation, and promoting less visited areas to spread tourists out. However, Venice must also support its declining local population and control the negative impacts of its popularity and dependence on tourism.
Venice loved to death
The document discusses tourism management strategies for the city of Venice. It describes the distribution of Venice's primary tourist resources such as natural attractions, cultural sites, and social resources. Secondary resources in Venice include the accommodation, catering, travel, transportation, entertainment, and information sectors. To manage tourism demands, Venice employs strategies to maximize capacity and minimize conflicts between residents and visitors. These strategies also aim to avoid environmental damage.
OCR B Geography Fieldwork Investigation Intructions 2012 submission
This document outlines the methodology for a fieldwork project investigating the need to protect the coastline in Sitges, Spain. The project aims to answer two research questions: whether there is a need to protect the coastline, and if coastal management strategies are effective in preventing erosion. The methodology involves collecting beach profile measurements, conducting bipolar evaluations, taking field sketches and photos, and making general observations. Data collection methods will then be presented and analyzed to draw conclusions regarding the research questions. Limitations of the study will also be evaluated, with suggestions for improving the investigation.

Venice case study
Venice is a historic city located on islands in a lagoon off the coast of Italy that experiences significant environmental threats and mass tourism. The historic city has seen its population drop from 175,000 to 78,000 while receiving around 15 million visitors annually. Tourism brings both economic benefits but also places strain on Venice's fragile infrastructure as the number of visitors often exceeds the carrying capacity of the city. Managing visitor numbers and directing tourists away from the most crowded areas will be important to preserve Venice's cultural heritage and living city status for the future.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
A Deep Dive into ScyllaDB's Architecture
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
