1) Aquatic biofuels are fuels derived from algae or fish waste. Microalgae have significant advantages over terrestrial crops for fuel production, including higher oil yields per acre without competing for arable land.
2) Two main methods for algae cultivation are open ponds and photobioreactors. Open ponds have lower startup costs but lower yields, while photobioreactors have higher yields but higher costs. Algae can also be grown in wastewater to absorb nutrients and CO2 emissions.
3) Fish waste is also a source of aquatic biofuel, as oil can be extracted from waste through heating and a water separation process, then converted to biodiesel. This provides livelihood

Biofloc fish farming for sustainable aquacultureOrganicaBiotech1
Biofloc technology is an emerging, eco-friendly and cost-effective approach for sustainable fish farming. Earlier, the biofloc system was used as the means to treat wastewater and control fish production.
Fish farming traditionally has many drawbacks. But it evolved after the ages to produce huge number of fishes in lesser space with Biofloc technology which has a competitive advantage over the traditional technique.
Current food needs in the world are growing due to population boom and the popularity of fish is drastically improved due to it, whereas the supply of fish becoming stagnant due to pollution, plastic and many factors, etc. To tackle this needs scientists have developed a technique to produce it commercially with less space, in lesser time with a less inorganic food requirement.

FASCINATION ALGAE - an enourmous potential
It is estimated that there are between 250 thousand to several million dif-ferent algae species. Thereof only 35 000 species have been scientifically recorded so far.
There are around 5 thousand algae species available from culture collec-tions around the world. However, only round 20 species are currently utilized for commercial applications.
Given the commercial applications of today have been achieved with only a few microalgae species, the thousands of still undiscovered and unu-tilized species present a huge potential for further economic exploitation.

Aquaculture, also known as aquafarming, it involves the farming of aquatic organisms like fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and algae under controlled conditions as against commercial fishing, which is more harvest of wild fish. Ocean Global in India supports the “blue revolution” and manufactures Biofloc tanks to make aquaculture a sustainable activity. Adhering to the highest production standards, we use high-quality non-migratory PVC polymer for the manufacture of biofloc tanks.

Forests, trees and agroforestry: What role in food security and nutrition? CIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation by Terrry Sunderland was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014.
The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.
Economic Potential And Relevance Of Biofuel Program In IndiaPhani Mohan K
In 2006, India was the seventh largest net importer of oil in the world. With 2007 net imports of 1.8 million bbl/d, India is currently dependent on imports for 68 percent of its oil consumption.EIA expects India to become the fourth largest net importer of oil in the world by 2025. Unless GOI supports Ethanol Blending program it remains as a vision itself not translating in to action.
Recent talks on biofuels have outlined their un-sustainability in the production phase; commodities such as corn, rapeseed, palm oil and soya are being grown and harvested in a way that could have negative economic, social and environmental effects, and have a global impact on land use, food security, water resources, deforestation and global markets.
Flue gas mitigation technology that will aid in alleviating our emissions from point sources (i.e. power plants) by supplementing growth of ALGAE to produces our transportation sector fuels.

The interest in algae farming also includes implementing Carbon Capture, Biofuel Production, Power Generation, and other industrial flue gasses for use in Photo bioreactors for algae cultivation.
The global fish consumption for human nutrition increases. The supply of enough aquatic products is still possible, because the experienced fish capture peak in the 1990s is buffered by the increasing amount of fish from hatcheries, both onshore and offshore.
Microalgae as a Potential Source of Biofuels and its Current Advances_ Crimson publishers
Microalgae as a Potential Source of Biofuels and its Current Advances by Chandan Haldar*, Raju Ram, Shyam Kumar and Lakan Lal Menna in crimson publishers: Journal of Marine Biology
Sustainable production of renewable energy is passionately debated worldwide since it is progressively understood that first-generation biofuels are primarily produced from food crops. Mostly oilseeds do not contain enough amount of fat content to achieve targets for biofuel production. These concerns have increased the attention in developing second-generation biofuels produced from non-food feed stocks such as microalgae, which potentially offer high-fat content. The advantages of biofuel over fossil fuel are they are less toxic, biodegradable and lower emission greenhouse gases. This article reviews the current status of microalgae use for biodiesel production, including their cultivation, harvesting, and processing. The economic development of the world is hugely dependent on fossil fuel supplies which are constrained not only by partial availability but also generate high levels of pollution.
Because of the limited fossil fuel, concerted efforts have been started to search for alternative bio fuels like biodiesel, bio ethanol and since the diesel is being used massively in industrial commercial, fisheries, agriculture, and other sectors. So, the production and consumption of biodiesel from oil seeds crops have been getting renewed interest in recent years in India to overcome the drawbacks of oil from oilseed crops. Biodiesel produced from micro-algae has several benefits over the above resources due to higher algal biomass and oil yields and the need of non-arable land for its growth. Industrial and municipal wastewaters can be applied for farming of microalgal oil that can be used for the production of biodiesel to entirely displace petro diesel. The micro algal biomass has been reported to yield high oil contents and has the diesel production. Accordingly, a lot of R & D work has been initiated for the growth, harvesting, oil extraction and conversion to biodiesel.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

13. Uses as little as 30cm of water per year per hectare (open pond system) Photo Bio-Reactors dependin on the size can take up as much as 50,000 lt of water, however there is no waste and no evaporation
23. Product values: biofuels, GHG abatement, reclaimed water, fertilisers, other co products. Caution – With present technology fuel only algal systems are not plausible on their own - they require additional revenues.
24. Adaptability to developing countries – other key factor requirements Algae production with Photo Bio-Reactors (PBR) More suitable for Higher Income Countries (due to higher start-up costs) Algae production with MBP (Microalgae Biofixation Process) (open/close ponds) More suitable for Lower Income Countries (due to lower start-up costs)
34. Fish waste could also promote more efficient utilization of aquatic living resources and generate additional income for fishers' and fish farmers' communities.
37. Open pond systems are much more viable although real costs are still not available, by-products can however make the process completely viable.
38. Abatement of CO2 Mitigation from the conversion of the algal biomass to renewable fuels – directly substituting fossil fuels – coal and gas
39. Each tonne of microalgae biomass produced = about a tonne of CO2 abatedBoth algal to bio-fuel technologies are therefore completely Carbon Neutral
40.
41. What does Spirulina contain? Balanced proteins, (supply the body with high amounts of Vitamin B (particularly B12) Minerals and micro-nutrients which provide a variety of benefits for the human body, like nourishment, mental clarity, assisting in cancer recovery, depression help and many others. Several scientific studies show spirulina to have the ability to inhibit viral replication; in particular it was found that 5-10 mg/ml of spirulina will inhibit the HIV-1 virus otherwise known as the AIDS virus.
42. The beneficial properties of Spirlina are quite remarkable – 10 of the main benefits after taking 5-10 grams of spirulina are listed below; Increases the CD4 count – Strengthens the immune system (particularly useful for AIDS/HIV patients. Increases RNA (Ribonucleic acid) in the brain for more energy The beta carotene (contains 10 times more that of carrots) is an excellent source of disease fighting antioxidants, and is also good for healthy eyes and vision. Contains vegetable protein and amino acids to build muscle High concentration of B Vitamins; which not only break down carbohydrate and lipids but also maintain cardiovascular health. It is also an excellent anti-inflammatory, which is an essential benefit to arthritis patients and prevents heart disease. Contains anti-aging properties. Improves digestive health Contains easy to absorb iron supplements ideal for women and children. Reduces cancer with antioxidant protection
43. How can we combine Aquatic Resources for food and for fuel? We need to find a strain or variant of algae that can produce enough lipids to satisfy crude oil production and contain enough protein to be used as a food supplement. These can be genetically modified but we do not know the consequence of the modification and could enter and affect the food chain. The most efficient natural strain for crude-oil production is Botryococcusbrauniiand the best source for spirulina food supplement is Spirulinaplatensis. A natural identified strain which could cater for both food and fuel is Prymnesiumparvum.
