Get Cloud Resources to the IoT Edge with Fog ComputingBiren Gandhi
Fog Computing as a foundational architectural concept for Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Everything (IoE).
Embedded devices in the IoT are hampered by the compute, storage, and service limitations of living life on the edge. As IoT edge devices comprise broader sensor networks for industrial automation, transportation, and other safety critical applications, their high uptime requirements are nonnegotiable and service latencies must be kept within realtime or near real time parameters. However, the size, weight, power, and cost constraints of edge platforms also inhibit the ondevice resources available for executing such functions. In this session, Gandhi will introduce Fog Computing, a new paradigm for the IoT that extends compute, storage, and application resources from the cloud to the network edge. Beyond the interplay between Fog and Cloud, Gandhi will show how Fog services can be leveraged across a range of heterogeneous platforms—from end user devices and access points to edge routers and switches—through software technology that facilitates the collection, storage, analysis, and fusion of data to drive success in your next IoT device deployment.
Demand for the Internet of Things (IoT) is exploding, as more and more companies in a wide range of industries
look to capitalize on the promises of IoT to improve their efficiency and increase their revenues. The opportunity
for satellite to play a role in the IoT ecosystem is here, but the satellite industry has to overcome the challenge of
integrating seamlessly into the complex IoT framework. However, with an appropriate understanding of end-user
needs and careful planning, satellite service providers have the chance to fulfill the unmet, voracious demand for
all things IoT and reap the rewards of this technology’s explosive growth.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
