This document discusses the challenges of characterizing air pollution using remote sensing observations over China. It describes the seven dimensions of data - spatial, height, time, particle size, composition, shape, and mixing - needed to fully characterize air pollution. While each individual observation method or data set has limitations, together they can provide consistent global-scale observations. There remain significant challenges to integrating data from multiple sensors to accurately measure air pollution. International collaboration combining global satellite data with detailed local observations in China may help advance progress in addressing this issue.

Environmental air pollution studies fail to consider the fact that air pollution is a spatio-temporal problem.
The volume and complexity of the data have created the need to explore various machine learning models,
however, those models have advantages and disadvantages when applied to regional air pollution analysis,
furthermore, most environmental problems are global distribution problems. This research addressed
spatio-temporal problem using decentralized computational technique named Online Scalable SVM
Ensemble Learning Method (OSSELM). Evaluation criteria for computational air pollution analysis
includes: accuracy, real time & prediction, spatio-temporal and decentralised analysis, we assert that these
criteria can be improved using the proposed OSSELM. Special consideration is given to distributed
ensemble to resolve spatio-temporal data collection problem (i.e. the data collected from multiple
monitoring stations dispersed over a geographical location). Moreover, the experimental results
demonstrated that the proposed OSSELM produced impressive results compare to SVM ensemble for air
pollution analysis in Auckland region.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

33. Summary
•Each data set has limitations, but gives self-consistent global-scale observations
• More detailed measurements are essential for the understanding
•There are still enormous challenges in integrating multi-sensory data for
characterizing aerosols.
Combining global-scale remote sensing observations with detailed local
observations and research conducted in China could yield faster
progress.
