A brief introduction to superhydrophobicity. Superhydrophobicity is defined as well as explained in simple terms. Furthermore, demo videos are shown to showcase the differences between superhydrophobic surfaces and hydrophilic surfaces. Finally, potential applications for this technology are explored.
In aviation passive anti-icing coatings remain interesting, to reduce energy demand and service disruption caused by active anti-icing and de-icing procedures. This is reflected by the active market and research in this domain. Beyond that, icing effects many more sectors, such as heat exchangers, wind turbines, and antennas. Passive anti-icing coatings are coatings, which exhibit at least one of the following effects: (1) to repel incoming water droplets, (2) to delay ice nucleation and (3) to lower ice-solid adhesion strength. Aerospace & Advanced Composites GmbH offers passive and active anti-icing coatings and solutions. Furthermore, we have specialized on testing and charactering anti-icing coatings. This includes rapid ice adhesion determination, artificial accelerated weathering, surface characterization and operational exposure simulation.
COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN REMOVERS AGENTS OF SILICON INTO THE SYNTHESIS OF MI...David Macias Ferrer
The present study deals with a comparison between HF and NaOH with different concentration, as removers agents of silicon into the synthesis of micro/nano-structured pyrolytic carbon (MNC) via nanocasting method,
using SBA-15 as hard template. SBA-15 was prepared through sol-gel using pluronic P-123 as surfactant and tetraethoxysilane as a silicon precursor. MNC was synthesized by the nanocasting method and anhydrous pyrolysis at 800 °C using SBA-15 as structure directing agent and refined sugar as a carbon precursor. Testing six samples of MNC, the silicon removal was carried out employ solutions 1M NaOH, 2M NaOH, 4M NaOH, 8M NaOH, 8.6M HF and 28.9M HF by 24 h. The prepared materials were characterized by means of N2
physisorption analysis, SEM, EDS, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. EDS analysis revealed that 8.6M HF and 8M NaOH had the highest removal efficiency of silicon, detecting 0.21% wt Si and 0.32% wt Si respectively versus 23.8% wt Si before this process, however, using solutions of a low concentration of NaOH, a silicon weight percentage lower than 0.6% is detected. Therefore, the HF could be replaced by NaOH avoiding possible damage to the structure of MNC due to the effect of HF and contributing to the safety of researchers and the environment.

Development of Multi-functional Coatings(Anti-Reflective and Anti-Fogging)HasanAhmed139
Multifunctional nano-coatings with distinctive optical properties and super-wettability are extremely enthralling due to their wide array of applications. In our work, sequential dip-coatings have been applied, to glass slides, so as to develop anti-fog coating with high transmittance values of around 95%. Although the numbers are highly commendable; however, special care and variable coats are necessary with the intention to achieve the objective. Keeping this in mind, the first coating of single layer applied directly on glass slide, is that of Acid Catalyzed Silica Sol (ACSS) which serves the purpose of a binding layer between the glass slide and the successive coatings. Following that, three layers of small Solid Silica Nano-particles (SSNs) are applied subsequently over ACSS in order to provide the desired transmittance. Thereafter, a three layer coating of Dendrimer-like Mesoporous Silica Nano-particles (DMSNs) is applied over SSNs; to obtain a super-hydrophilic surface that serves as a highly wettable surface in specific and an anti-fog coating in general. The ratio 1: 3: 3, for coatings of ACSS, SSNs and DMSNs, was nominated as an optimal match for the predominant multifunctionality of the coating and any slight change in the ratio brought about a huge divergence in the corresponding character of the coating.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
