Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels which react with water and oxygen in the air to form acids. When acid rain reaches the earth, it flows across the surface and soils, entering water systems and making waters acidic. Acid rain harms aquatic environments by making waters toxic and releasing aluminum from soils. It also damages forests by depleting nutrients from soils and inhibiting trees' ability to absorb water and reproduce. Reducing emissions from fossil fuels and promoting alternative energy sources can help lessen acid rain.

Long term solutions require international agreements to reduce sulfur and nitrogen gas emissions by decreasing fossil fuel use and transitioning to alternative energy sources.
Acid Rain lect-6.pptx
Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides reacting with water in the atmosphere to form acids. It is formed both from natural sources like volcanoes and biological processes, as well as primarily from human sources like fossil fuel combustion from power plants and vehicles. Acid rain harms aquatic life, vegetation, and infrastructure through soil acidification and increased toxic metals. Areas with high emissions and low buffering capacity are most affected, like Canada, Northern Europe, and parts of Asia and the eastern US. Preventive measures include reducing emissions through cleaner fuels, flue gas desulfurization, and alternative energy sources.
Acid rain by zainab amjad
Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from industries, vehicles, and power plants reacting with water in the atmosphere. It damages buildings, forests, aquatic life, and can harm human health. The document outlines the causes and effects of acid rain, including how it harms structures through corrosion, destroys forests by stripping leaves of protective coatings, and raises acidity levels in water bodies affecting fish and other aquatic organisms. Strategies to address acid rain are proposed, such as reducing emissions and increasing use of pollution control devices in industries and vehicles.
Acid rains
Acid rain is caused by sulfur and nitrogen oxides emitted from fossil fuel combustion reacting with water in the atmosphere to form acids. It damages ecosystems by acidifying soils and waters, killing aquatic life. Effects range from forest damage to human health impacts. Addressing it requires international cooperation as pollutants can travel long distances. Solutions include installing scrubbers in power plants and catalytic converters in vehicles to reduce emissions.

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?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Acid rain (4)
- 1. Acid Rain Acid rain is basically rain that has a higher than normal acid level (low pH).
- 2. Causes of Acid Rain • Burning coal. Oil and natural gas in power stations makes electricity, giving off sulphur dioxide gas. • Burning petrol and oil in vehicle engines gives off nitrogen oxides as gases. • These gases mix with water vapour and rainwater in the atmosphere producing weak solutions of sulphuric and nitric acids – which fall as acid rain.
- 3. The Problem! People probably couldn't live without electricity! Therefore coal will continue to be burnt. Also, electricity and energy are constantly being overused. Think of it this way: every time you turn on a light switch or the television set without really needing to, you're indirectly contributing to the acid rain problem.
- 4. More problems!!! • Acid rain can travel long distances. • Often it doesn’t fall where the gas is produced. High chimneys disperse (spread) the gases and winds blow them great distances before they dissolve and fall to Earth as rain. • Eg gases produced in England and Western Europe can result in acid rain in Scotland and Scandinavia.
- 5. How Acid Rain Affects The Environment Acid rain is an extremely destructive form of pollution, and the environment suffers from its effects. Forests, trees, lakes, animals, and plants suffer from acid rain. Trees The needles and leaves of the trees turn brown and fall off. Trees can also suffer from stunted growth; and have damaged bark and leaves, which makes them vulnerable to weather, disease, and insects.
- 6. All of this happens partly because of direct contact between trees and acid rain, but it also happens when trees absorb soil that has come into contact with acid rain. The soil poisons the tree with toxic substances that the rain has deposited into it.
- 7. Lakes are also damaged by acid rain. Fish die off, and that removes the main source of food for birds. Acid rain can even kill fish before they are born when the eggs are laid and come into contact with the acid. Fish usually die only when the acid level of a lake is high; when the acid level is lower, they can become sick, suffer stunted growth, or lose their ability to reproduce. Also, birds can die from eating "toxic" fish and insects.
- 8. Buildings Acid rain dissolves the stonework and mortar of buildings (especially those made out of sandstone or limestone). It reacts with the minerals in the stone to form a powdery substance that can be washed away by rain.
- 9. Transport Currently, both the railway industry and the aeroplane industry are having to spend a lot of money to repair the corrosive damage done by acid rain. Also, bridges have collapsed in the past due to acid rain corrosion.
- 10. Humans Humans can become seriously ill, and can even die from the effects of acid rain. One of the major problems that acid rain can cause in a human being is respiratory problems. Many can find it difficult to breathe, especially people who have asthma. Asthma, along with dry coughs, headaches, and throat irritations can be caused by the sulphur dioxides and nitrogen oxides from acid rain.
- 11. Acid rain can be absorbed by both plants (through soil and/or direct contact) and animals (from things they eat and/ or direct contact). When humans eat these plants or animals, the toxins inside of their meals can affect them. Brain damage, kidney problems, and Alzheimer's disease has been linked to people eating "toxic" animals/plants.
- 12. Research carried out in North America in 1982, revealed that sulphur pollution killed 51,000 people and about 200,000 people become ill as a result of the pollution.
- 13. What are the solutions to acid rain?
- 14. Solutions • 1. Sulphur dioxide can be removed from power stations chimneys but this process is expensive. • 2. Reduce the amount of electricity we use - turn tv’s off at the mains, don’t leave on standby. - turn off lights when a room is not in use. • 3. Use renewable energy like wind power, solar panels, tidal power, HEP schemes and geothermal energy. • 4. Fit catalytic converters to vehicle exhausts which remove the nitrogen oxides. • 5. Limit the number of vehicles on the roads and increase public transport.
