This document discusses population size, changes, and limiting factors. It explains that population size can be measured by marking or tagging individuals. Population size can increase through more births than deaths, or immigration. Population size can decrease through more deaths than births, or emigration. Limiting factors like lack of resources cause competition and can slow population growth by decreasing births and increasing deaths.

Demography is the science involved with the study of biological population. It is also general science that can be suited to any kind of dynamic population study involving changes over time or space. It involves the study of the size, structure, and distribution of populations and spatial and or temporal changes in them in response to birth, death, migration and aging.

Water is a necessary element for sustainable development.
It serves a crucial link between the environment and society and the heart the heart of adaptation to climate change.
Water is critical for human survival, healthy ecosystem, food production, energy production, and socio-economic development. Increasing population, limited water resources, and our dependence on water has given rise to global water quality challenges.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Encryption in Microsoft 365 - ExpertsLive Netherlands 2024Albert Hoitingh
In this session I delve into the encryption technology used in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Purview. Including the concepts of Customer Key and Double Key Encryption.
2. • Objectives
• 1. Relate the importance and methods
of counting populations.
• 2. Discuss why populations change in
size.
• 3. Explain how limiting factors affect a
population.
3. Population Size and
Arrangement
• A change in size of one population will
cause a change in size of another
population
• For this reason scientists want to know
of any increases or decreases of any
population they study.
• Finding the size is not always easy
4. • Animals can be marked with ear tags, or
transmitters and birds with leg bands.
• Trees are counted by marking them with paint
or ribbons.
• Populations are not spread out evenly but are
clumped.
• Bring clumped is beneficial because species
can help each other.
• Animals live in groups for protection. Plants
are protected from high winds by growing
together.
5. Population Changes
Population can change for several
reasons.
1. If the number of births goes up and the
number of deaths go down, then the
population will increase
2. The population will decrease if there
are more deaths than births.
6. 3. Animals can move from place to place.
Moving of animals out of an area is
called emigration. This would cause a
decrease in population.
4. When animals move out of one area
and into another, it is called
immigration. This causes an increase
in population.
7. Limits of Population Size
• Any condition that keeps the size of a
population from increasing is called a
limiting factor.
• Lack of light, space, water, or food can
be limiting factors.
8. • As the population increases and shelter, food
or water is used up, there becomes a struggle
for survival among the animals. This is called
competition.
• Because of the lack of these items,
population growth slows down by decreasing
the number of births and increasing the
number of deaths.
• Plants that grow close together compete for
minerals, water, space and sunlight.
• A decrease in these factors causes plant
growth to slow. This is why gardeners pull
weeds or thin out new seedlings.
