1. Cloud seeding can help address water scarcity issues by increasing rainfall. Many countries regularly use cloud seeding to augment water supplies for agriculture, drinking water, and hydroelectric power.
2. Water availability is decreasing globally due to population growth and development. By 2025, over a third of the world's population may face "catastrophically low" water supplies under 1000 cubic meters per person per year.
3. Forests help increase rainfall by recycling water through transpiration. Deforestation reduces rainfall and increases risks of drought, flooding, and water scarcity. Reforestation is needed to improve water security in many countries.
Farmsat risk
The document discusses the importance of aggregates and farmland for agriculture. It notes that aggregates shape the geological characteristics of an area, influencing what grows and the biodiversity. Aggregates also impact water resources. The document then provides information about farmland in Ontario, noting that Ontario has the largest agricultural output in Canada despite having less farmland than other provinces. However, the number of farms and amount of farmland in Ontario has declined in recent years due to development. There is a need to protect high quality farmland and water resources to ensure future food security.

This document discusses how science can inform policy to address pollution in large bodies of water like the Great Lakes. It provides the example of Saginaw Bay in the Great Lakes, where a water quality model was developed to define the relationship between phosphorus loads and algal blooms. This supported a policy to reduce phosphorus levels from wastewater plants. Water quality improved dramatically but invasive zebra mussels later changed the ecosystem. Science continues to play a role through adaptive management by updating targets and questions as the system changes over time. The same principles could guide policy in Lake Tai through defining required pollution controls and response times based on the specific characteristics of the lake system.

Population growth in hotspots is nearly 40% greater than the global average due to high fertility and migration. High population density puts pressure on biodiversity through habitat loss and accelerated species extinction. The document advocates for integrated approaches that link family planning, health services, and natural resource management to achieve higher impacts than separate sectoral programs.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.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).
