Shaver lake
Shaver Lake is a man-made lake located 50 miles northeast of Fresno, California at an elevation of 5,500 feet. The lake was originally created in 1893 as a small millpond to support a logging operation, and the current 170 foot tall dam was constructed in 1927. In 2011, the lake was drained to its streambed levels for the first time since 1927 in order to repair the dam. While drained, photos were taken of the empty lake bed as well as local flora and fauna, including a male peacock and a Ponderosa pine tree.
Lab assignment
The geological history of Lake Tahoe began nearly 400 million years ago when a shallow sea covered the area. Around 2 million years ago, the current Lake Tahoe basin formed due to vertical movement along faults. Uplifted blocks created surrounding mountain ranges while downward movement created the basin. Jeffrey Pine is the most common tree in the area, known for its long needles and resinous bark. Black bears are the largest carnivores in the region and can range in color, with cinnamon brown being most common. Granite formations in the area were created through the subduction and melting of ocean plates before slowly cooling and crystallizing below ground.

Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

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.

- 3. Background of the Carson River • Northwestern Nevada river that empties into the Carson Sink, an endorheic basin. The main stem of the river is 131 miles (211 km) long. • It rises in two forks in the Sierra Nevada of northern California. The 68-mile-long (109 km) East Fork rises in southern Alpine County, southeast of Markleeville in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness. The 40-mile-long (64 km) West Fork rises in the Sierras near Carson Pass and flows northeast into Nevada, joining the East Fork.
- 4. Map of the Carson River
- 5. Brief Geological History • In the 1850s and 1860s, the river was used as the route of the Carson Trail, a branch of the California Trail that allowed access to the California gods fields, as well as by the Pony Express. • The 1868 Virginia and Truckee Railroad transported ore to the quartz reduction mines along the river. In the early 20th century, the Newlands prohect was formed to bring irrigation water into the region for agriculture.
- 6. Granite
- 7. Granite • It is a common widely occurring type of intrusive , felsic, igneous rock which is granular and crystalline in texture. • This rock consists mainly of quartz, mica, and feldspar. • Granites can be pink to gray in color, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy.
- 8. Lahar Deposits lahar deposits
- 9. Lahar • As you drive along side the Carson river you can see lahar deposits. • "Lahar" is an Indonesian word that describes volcanic mudflows or debris flows. • Composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris, and water. • This happens when you have a mudslide.
- 10. Aspin tree
- 11. Aspen tree • In this area there all lots a Aspens and they are best to look at in the fall. • The aspens are all native to cold regions with cool summers, in the north of the Northern Hemisphere, extending south at high altitudes in the mountains. • All of the aspens typically grow in large clonal colonies, derived from a single seedling, and spread by means of root suckers.
- 13. Eschscholzia californica • I love this flower and see it everywere. • Eschscholzia californica, commonly called the California poppy or golden poppy, is a perennial and annual plant, native to the United States, and the official state flower of California. • It grows well in disturbed areas. It often colonizes along roadsides and other disturbed areas. • It is drought-tolerant, self- seeding, and easy to grow in gardens.
- 15. North American Beaver • I did not see a beaver when I was doing this assignment but I have seen them before. • North American beaver (Castor canadensis) were re-introduced to the Carson River watershed around 1940 and populations have thrived since. • There are eyewitness accounts of beaver in the upper Carson River through 1892. • The Washo people who lived in the eastern Sierra with hunting grounds extending as far west as Calaveras County.
