Side scan sonar
Side scan sonar uses a pulsed beam of sound transmitted horizontally on both sides of a ship to image the seafloor. Reflections are recorded to provide high resolution images of small seafloor objects. It consists of an underwater sensor towed behind the ship connected by cable. For optimal detection, the tow fish height should be maintained between 10-20% of the range scale used, adjusting the range scale or transducer angle if needed. Sonar lines should be run within 20 degrees of tidal streams and along depth contours to maintain tow fish height, or perpendicular to sandwave crests in those areas. Target heights can be estimated using similar triangles and measurements of shadow length and slope range on the sonar image.
GPS IN AVIATION SYSTEM

Navigational aids
Navigation aids such as lighthouses, beacon lights, buoys, and lightships are necessary to safely guide vessels through rivers, channels, harbors, and coastal waters. These aids help vessels avoid dangerous zones, follow proper harbor approaches, and locate ports during nighttime and bad weather. There are two main types of navigation aids: fixed aids like lighthouses and beacon lights, and floating aids such as buoys and lightships. Lighthouses are tall tower structures that can be seen from long distances, while beacon lights help identify directions and alignments. Buoys come in different shapes and types to demarcate channels and entrances. Lightships are small ships that act as lighthouses

Dredgers
Dredging involves excavating underwater to gather and dispose of bottom sediments. It is used for maintaining waterways, replenishing beaches, and land reclamation and construction projects. There are several types of dredging including capital dredging for new harbors and waterways, preparatory dredging for future structures like bridges, and maintenance dredging to deepen waterways and keep reservoirs at their holding capacity by addressing silt and sediment buildup. Land reclamation dredging mines material from the seabed that is then used to construct new land and for flood and erosion control projects. Dredging plays an important role in maintaining global shipping routes and enabling expansion for new residential areas around the world.

IALA BOUYAGE SYSTEM AUG 2020.docx
The International Association of Marine Aids and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) established a worldwide buoyage system to standardize aids to navigation after several accidents occurred in the Dover Strait in 1971 due to different buoyage systems causing confusion. The IALA system divides the world into two regions - Region A and Region B - and established six types of marks: lateral marks, cardinal marks, isolated danger marks, safe water marks, special marks, and emergency wreck marking buoys. Lateral marks indicate which side of the channel to follow while cardinal marks use compass directions to indicate navigable waters and dangers. The document provides details on the colors, shapes, lights and meanings of each type of mark.

Grand strategy
The document discusses the international security environment and proposes a grand strategy for a new US administration. It identifies key threats such as weapons proliferation, terrorism, transnational crime, and economic and geopolitical challenges. It argues that while no threats currently jeopardize US supremacy, failing to address issues could undermine it long-term. The document proposes adopting a cooperative security strategy to deal flexibly with state and non-state actors in an interconnected world. This strategy would entail sharing burdens with partners through investment rather than military intervention alone. Transitioning to this strategy would require compromise but pay dividends over the long-run.
Rwanda
The document discusses factors that influenced U.S. decisions regarding intervention in Rwanda from April to July 1994. Key actors included the UN, France, Belgium, and NGOs. The U.S. initially took a cautious approach due to lessons from Somalia. As the RPF neared victory and disease outbreaks grew severe in refugee camps, humanitarian concerns mounted. This shifted U.S. risk calculations, leading President Clinton to commit forces to Operation Support Hope on July 22nd.
Brazilian Ministry of Defence
The document discusses implementing a new strategy for the Brazilian Ministry of Defense (MD). [1] The strategy aims to consolidate a unified defense structure and influence external actors to reduce resource gaps.

Good neighbor 21
This document is a paper submitted to the Naval War College by a Brazilian Navy officer analyzing the U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America and arguing for a 21st century "Good Neighbor" policy. It discusses the threats to stability in Latin America from issues like inequality, weak institutions, and crime. It argues that Brazil could help address these issues if made "part of the solution" rather than seen as "part of the problem." Adopting a new Good Neighbor policy using public diplomacy could improve how both Latin America and the U.S. view each other.
Venezuela
The document analyzes US policy options regarding Venezuela. It finds that bilateral diplomacy with increased intelligence activity is most likely. This allows the US to maintain normal relations while monitoring Chavez. If Chavez escalates support for groups like FARC or disrupts oil supply/US interests, multilateral diplomacy through organizations like OAS is preferred to avoid perceptions of unilateralism. Military intervention is least likely given current conditions.

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).

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.
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.
