NRRI will partner with the Minnesota DNR on a new study of bat habitat in Minnesota forests. The goal is to understand bat roosting behavior and preferences to help balance bat conservation with sustainable forestry practices, as the threatened Northern Long-Eared Bat may affect forest management. NRRI biologists will track bats to identify what tree species they use for maternity colonies and how long they use them, providing important data for forest managers dealing with the impending threat of White Nose Syndrome to Minnesota's bat populations.
Sabina Khantsis is a recent graduate of the University of Maryland seeking a position in neuroscience research. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Psychology from Temple University, where she conducted research investigating sex differences in neuroinflammation, mindfulness and cortical rhythms, and antidepressant efficacy. Her honors include Magna Cum Laude and she has published two papers and presented her work at several conferences. She is skilled in rodent behavior tests, histology, molecular techniques, and data analysis software.

Discord Company Presentation by Anthony TungAnthony Tung
Discord is a free voice and text chat application designed for gamers. Founded in 2015, it has grown rapidly to over 45 million users due to partnerships with Twitch streamers and an easy-to-use interface. Discord generates revenue through an optional $5 per month subscription and has raised over $180 million from investors. While free for basic use, its focus on gaming communities and customizable servers has made it popular compared to alternatives like Skype and Teamspeak.
The document discusses developer experience (DX) with application programming interfaces (APIs) and platforms. It begins by introducing DX and its relationship to user experience and development practices. It then discusses evaluating DX from the perspectives of both API users and owners. The document outlines features to consider when measuring DX, organized into eight groups, and provides examples to illustrate both good and bad DX. It argues that DX will become increasingly important as more functionality is delivered via external APIs and services.
1) A chatbot named Ask Mona provides personalized recommendations for cultural venues in France based on a user's interests and needs.
2) Ask Mona requires accurate data about exhibitions, museums, monuments, theaters, and concerts including descriptions, hours, prices, and addresses in French and English.
3) The document discusses how APIs can provide this data to chatbots but that incomplete or incorrect APIs require building a separate database, which takes a lot of time.
ITCamp 2019 - Andrea Saltarello - Implementing bots and Alexa skills using Az...ITCamp
Thanks to the recently released v4 of the Bot Framework SDK, creating your first bot is a breeze; still, implementing a production viable one is no easy task since several aspects must be taken into account such as user authentication, integration within existing apps, multi language support, technical considerations (e.g.: Azure Functions vs. MVC Core, Blob Storage vs. CosmosDB) and, last but not least, operational costs.
Moreover, you might want to reuse your bot’s Azure hosted, Cognitive Services-backed code to address Amazon’s Alexa users to avoid the need to implement (and evolve) it twice.

Title: What the Flutter?
The Flutter SDK by Google, is the new Open Source UI SDK to create native applications in one codebase.
But, what is Flutter and why should you care about it? What are the implications and key differences from all other mobile development SDKs? How is the community reacting to it?
At the end of the talk, you’ll understand the decisions behind Flutter, why is it so different from others mobile development tools and platforms and why so many developers are already addicted to it. Let’s understand together the power of a community that grabbed a new open-source project to help others.
Online chatting allows users to have conversations in real time through computer programs. It works using chat servers that connect users' chat clients, allowing typed messages to be sent and received simultaneously. The presentation discusses synchronous and asynchronous chat, with synchronous chat enabling multiple users to communicate at once in an online room. It describes chat clients, servers, and different types of synchronous chat like web-based chat rooms and Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Advantages include easy, quick communication while disadvantages include discussions becoming difficult with many users and chats not always being saveable.

Breizhcamp: Créer un bot, pas si simple. Faisons le point.Cisco DevNet
S’il est possible de créer un bot en quelques minutes, construire des assistants interactifs professionnels représente un réel challenge : assez vite, nous voilà confrontés à des patterns de développements avancés, des enjeux d’architecture propres aux API Web. Sans compter les compétences spécifiques au domaine des bots.
Au cours de cette session, nous présenterons le code de bots permettant de gérer des interactions Chat et Voix, et explorerons les défis rencontrés lors de la construction de ces bots : stockage des contextes, approches NLP, scopes OAuth, meta-données.
Nous présenterons ensuite les tendances actuelles en terme d’architecture : plateformes de bots, exécution de bots sous forme de micro-fonctions / serverless…
Depuis un an, j'interviens sur la mise en place de bots, et ai pu coder un framework de bots en nodejs, et tester quelques framewokrs de bots. Ce talk est un retour d'expérience.
Le support est en anglais et au format 4/3.

Two things have made the Twitter TV discussion interesting to me in 2015: The rise of Periscope and new numbers about the rise of digital video. This is a deck from a recent workshop at WGBH. It reviews the role of social media in the current TV landscape, some basic thoughts on how Twitter fits into the engagement ecosystem, and introduces the platform to the beginner Tweeter.
This is my presentation for Global Azure Verona 2021, where I talked about Azure Functions and how this technology can be used to process messages that come from WhatsApp in a chatbot environment.
This document discusses integrating FreeSWITCH with Janus for WebRTC services. It describes Janus as a general purpose WebRTC gateway with plugins that can be used to build applications like video conferencing. The architecture presented uses Janus as a Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) for Web users, while FreeSWITCH acts as a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) for legacy SIP users, with both connecting to the same media streams. Some challenges are noted, as directly using SIP is not optimal and managing multiple media connections for each participant is not ideal.
China's QQ is an instant messaging platform owned by Tencent that is very popular in China with over 700 million users. QQ provides a "one-stop online lifestyle" through features like instant messaging, email, games, social media through QZone, and file storage. Its popularity is due to its constant updates, customization options, and ability for users to express themselves. Tencent aims for QQ to be the dominant IM service used internationally to connect with people in China.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.
