Fahad types and causes of cracks in concrete structuresFAHAD ALI KHAN
This technical seminar provides basic information about the various types of cracks in concrete and their potential effect on the long-term performance of concrete structures.
A crack is a complete or incomplete separation of concrete into two or more parts produced by breaking or fracturing.
Cracks are one kind of universal problems of concrete construction as it affects the building artistic and it also destroys the wall’s integrity, affects the structure safety and even reduce the durability of structure
Carbon dioxide penetrates into the concrete through the cracks and speed up carbonation around the cracks, thus shortening the structure usage.
The cracks in the concrete wall would cause the leakage of the building; it reduces the stiffness, durability and seismic performance of buildings.
Cracks on the wall surface damage to the later rendering, will affect to the appearance.

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
