Biomimetics
The document discusses the field of biomimetics, which involves emulating nature's technologies to help humans thrive while minimizing environmental impact. It provides examples of how biomimetics has been used to desalinate water, sequester carbon, create biodegradable plastics, and develop more efficient transportation and medical innovations by mimicking structures and processes in plants, animals, and organisms. Specific innovations are inspired by leaves, lotus plants, desert beetles, molluscs, flies, whales, plants, and kingfishers.
Anaerobic bacteria
Anaerobic bacteria have effectively cleaned the wastewater from a paper mill in Germany since 2003 by generating biogas instead of biosludge, increasing production from 7,000 to 12,000 cubic meters per day. This biogas serves as an ecological substitute for the natural gas normally used by the mill's bark boiler.
HAWAII SYMPOSIUM 2015 POWERPOINT PRESENTATION-3
This document presents a study analyzing the fermentation of two invasive macroalgae species, Avraınvıllea am. and Eucheuma sp., found in Hawaii. The algae were fermented and then analyzed for compounds and fiber content. Results showed that Avraınvıllea am. had high lignin and cellulose concentrations making it suitable for lignin extraction, while Eucheuma sp. had low fiber levels making it a good candidate for animal feed or fertilizer due to decreased ammonia levels post-fermentation. Overall, the study demonstrates the potential for utilizing invasive algae species through fermentation.

Biomimicry final18 march2012
Biomimicry is the practice of imitating nature's designs and processes to solve human problems. It uses nature as a model, measure, and mentor. Many human challenges involving energy, transportation, materials, and more have already been solved by nature over the past 3.8 billion years of evolution. Examples of biomimicry include bullet trains modeled after kingfishers, underwater sensors inspired by dolphin communication, carbon dioxide filtration based on human lungs, and self-healing materials from wound healing in the body. The Biomimicry Institute has worked with over 250 clients to apply these biological solutions across many industries.
Biomimicry
Biomimicry uses nature as a model to develop sustainable solutions to challenges facing humanity. It involves studying biological methods and materials in nature, like the structure of abalone shells, and applying those learnings to develop new technologies. Abalone shells are 200% stronger than ceramics due to their layered structure of proteins and calcium carbonate, which provides both strength and flexibility. This natural material shows promise for developing new strong and durable materials through ambient manufacturing processes without high temperatures, as required for traditional ceramics. Over time, biomimicry has increased innovation from fields like transportation to new materials and could help address issues like energy production through artificial photosynthesis.

Biomimetic architecture
This document discusses biomimetic architecture, which seeks to apply principles found in nature to architecture and design problems. It provides examples of biomimetic architecture at different levels: organism level looks to individual organisms like termite mounds for passive cooling inspiration; behavior level mimics how organisms interact with environments; and ecosystem level mimics interconnected environmental systems. Major examples given include bullet trains shaped like kingfisher heads, wind turbines modeled after humpback whales, and antimicrobial films inspired by shark skin. Biomimetic architecture is important because it can provide more sustainable solutions by emulating nature's successful models that have evolved over billions of years within Earth's limits.
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF CYANOBACTERIA.pptx
Cyanobacteria, formerly known as blue-green algae, are an important type of photosynthetic bacteria that were among the first life forms on Earth. They play several significant economic roles such as improving soil fertility, contributing to limestone formation, fixing atmospheric nitrogen, and being used as whole food supplements. However, they can also form harmful blooms that impact water supplies and buildings. Due to their photosynthetic abilities and success in diverse environments, cyanobacteria have been an important model organism for scientific research.

The Origin Of Life Key
This document discusses several hypotheses for the origin of life on Earth. It proposes that early conditions allowed for the abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules like amino acids and nucleotides. These molecules could have joined to form polymers like proteins and nucleic acids. Self-replicating molecules then developed that allowed for inheritance. Early life forms may have been encapsulated in membrane-bound droplets called protobionts. Experiments simulating early Earth conditions support the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules. RNA may have played a role in early self-replication. Natural selection among primitive self-replicating systems could have driven the evolution of early life.

He created Silk Leaf, the first prototype made of silk protein and stabilized chloroplasts that can photosynthesize, absorbing CO2 and producing oxygen and organic compounds using light and water. The chloroplasts are embedded in the silk protein matrix and a technology delivers water to activate photosynthesis. Silk Leaf demonstrates how photosynthesizing materials could impact sustainability by removing carbon from the air.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

AI & Electronic WarfareIntroduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

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.

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.HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
