The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. Researchers found that lockdowns led to significant short-term reductions in nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter pollution globally as transportation and industrial activities declined substantially. However, the document notes that continued long-term progress on air quality will require sustainable changes rather than temporary reductions brought about by economic shutdowns.
Automotive crash detection and airbag deployment using mems accelerometer1MartinSeremani
The project come up with MEMS accelerometer which detects a crash using a microcontroller(ECU) to deploy airbags after assessing the magnitude of the impact from a signal sent to the microcontroller by the accelerometer. The project will mainly focus on headon crashes and the deployment of front airbags.
Airbags are standard in automobiles today, and they are generally designed to deploy in frontal collisions [6]. Sensors in the automobiles measure sharp decelerations caused by collisions to know when it is time to deploy the airbags [6]. While this was the original method for deploying airbags, additions have been made to that system because it does not take passenger occupancy or position into account.
Occupancy is important for various reasons. One of the reasons is that if an airbag is deployed, it cannot be reused and must be replaced [6].Thus if an airbag deploys unnecessarily, an avoidable cost for replacement is incurred, and the car becomes unsafe for passengers until the airbag is replaced. Another reason the identity of an occupant is important is injuries as airbags commonly cause minor injuries, which at times are greater injuries [6]. Airbags inflate at about 160kph, while seatbelts help prevent severe injuries, airbags can be fatal to children [6]. That iswhy different government have set laws in place requiring airbags be tested for different ages ofchildren [5]

Buckypaper is a macroscopic aggregate of carbon nanotubes that is only one tenth the weight of steel yet potentially 500 times stronger. It is made of carbon nanotubes arranged in a grid that are 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. Buckypaper has high strength and flexibility as well as the ability to conduct electricity and disperse heat. Potential applications include filters, protective coatings, energy storage materials, and use in aircraft composites to improve strength while reducing weight. However, buckypaper is currently very expensive to produce.
Buckyball is the common name for a molecule called Buckminsterfullerene.
which is made of 60 carbon atoms formed in the shape of a hollow ball.
British scientist Harry Kroto discovered it in 1985.
The arrangement of the atoms resembled the shape of the geodesic domes invented by architect Buckminster Fuller.
Carbon nanotubes have extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties. They are classified as single-walled or multi-walled nanotubes. Common synthesis methods are arc discharge, laser ablation, and chemical vapor deposition. Key milestones include the discovery of 18.5 cm long nanotubes and the thinnest freestanding single-walled nanotube of about 4.3 Angstroms in diameter. Carbon nanotubes have immense strength, are harder than diamond, and are excellent thermal and electrical conductors.

In this study buckypaper of MWNTs, DWNTs and SWNT have been synthesised using filtration of carbon nanotubes dispersed in 1% TritonX 100 as solvents. Dispersions were generated by pulse sonication of each single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) , Double wall carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) and Multi wall carbon nanotubes in TritonX solvent. Fist, sonication times were investigated for these CNTs to determine the optimum conditions for generating stable dispersions of carbon nanotubes. It was found that optimal dispersions could be generated using Trion X-100 solvent with all these carbon nanotube by using 30minute periods of pulse sonication. The Three buckypapers of MWNTs, DWNTs and SWNTs were produced by filtering dispersions of carbon nanotubes which had undergone 30 minutes of pulse sonication in TritonX100. Conductivity and measurements of the three buckypaper (SWNT,DWNT&MWNT) samples yielded average values of 14.24 , 23 and 19 Scm-1 respectively. Mechanical measurements were determined successfully . Homogeneity in the produced buckypapers were investigated confirming by scanning electron microscopy .
Buckypapers are carbon nanotube (or nanofibre) based layers which have great industrial potential due to their high multifunctional properties. However, the special features derived from the work with nanometric elements, the high amount of variables involved and their intrinsic characteristics such as porosity, difficult both their introduction into the industrial environment and the full application of the nanometric
elements which constitute them. This report details recent progress achieved in both buckypapers –with special attention to manufacturing processes- and in polymer nanocomposites made from buckypapers. It also analyzes which ones are the main challenges to carry on research on this field, and establishes the main research lines in order to develop competitive technologies which may play an important role specially in the aerospace industry.

Nanotechnology and the environment: A mismatch between claims and realityYuyun Ismawati Drwiega
The document summarizes concerns about claims of environmental benefits from nanotechnology not matching reality. While proponents claim nanotechnology will provide cleaner production and reduce pollution and energy use, evidence suggests the environmental costs of nanomaterial production often outweigh potential gains. Manufacturing nanomaterials requires large amounts of energy and water and produces toxic waste. Many nanomaterials themselves are toxic to the environment. The document calls for better governance of technological innovations to guide them in publicly acceptable directions through comprehensive risk and life cycle assessments.
This presentation is to motivate young minds to use alternate energy sources in innovative way. The students would have interest generated in solar energy, battery, aircraft technology.
The document discusses the design parameters for a high altitude airship powered by solar energy. It determines that a thin film solar panel of 13.34 square meters could generate 40KW of power at an altitude of 60,000 feet, weighing only 9.5 kg. A 1.8 kg lithium-ion battery could store the required 40KWh of energy. A 20kW fuel cell weighing under 2 kg could regenerate power for 22 hours of each day. The overall specifications meet the goals of generating 40KW of power for 10-15 years while weighing less than the 135 lb payload capacity.
The document discusses Blue Brain, a project aiming to simulate the human brain on a supercomputer.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
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.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
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.
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.
