Beardie behaviors
This document explains some common behaviors seen in bearded dragons that may seem strange, such as opening their mouth while basking to cool off, darkening or inflating their beard as a threat display, waving their arms as a submissive gesture, and head bobbing or eye bulging during territorial displays or shedding. It aims to inform owners about these natural behaviors so they are not alarmed by them.
Data Compression
Fractal image compression takes advantage of similarities within an image. It divides an image into small blocks and compares each block to larger parent blocks, storing the location and transform needed to match child and parent blocks. During decompression, it applies the transforms to reconstruct the image iteratively from a blank starting image. While it offers high theoretical compression, its greatest weakness is the time needed for encoding due to the large number of block comparisons required. Possible improvements include ordering blocks and limiting comparisons to reduce encoding time.

Assignment 2 – Pre Preliminary Task
The 180 degree rule is a filmmaking guideline that states that during a scene with two characters, the camera must stay on one side of an imaginary line between the characters known as the 180 line. This helps orient the viewer by keeping the characters in the same left/right relationship. While the camera can move, it must not cross the 180 line. Following this rule helps keep the characters at eye level and avoids confusing the audience. The 180 degree rule is especially important for scenes where two characters are having a conversation, but does not need to be followed for situations like filming sports.
G321 Mark Scheme and Specification

Storyboards and a shotlist are presented, along with notes on props, costumes, and locations to be used.
Assignment 5 preliminary presentation (draft 1)
The document provides information and examples about various film techniques including the 180 degree rule, match on action editing, and different camera shots and angles. It explains that the 180 degree rule aims to keep visual consistency between two characters. It also describes match on action editing as cutting between two shots that match the same action to give the illusion of continuous time. Finally, it lists different camera shots like establishing shot, close up, and two shot along with what each shot is used for and why.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
