Global Warming (full topic, Causes, impacts,Solution etc.)
The document discusses global warming and its causes and consequences. It lists the group members and then defines global warming as an increase in average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. It identifies the key causes of global warming as the greenhouse effect, carbon dioxide emissions, methane from livestock, and deforestation. Consequences discussed include damage to the ozone layer, health impacts like more heat waves and worsening pollution, rising temperatures, and ocean acidification harming marine life. It concludes by emphasizing the need to reduce carbon emissions through individual actions like using less energy and transportation.
Environmental Pollution
Pollution is defined as the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse effects. Pollution can take various forms including chemicals, noise, heat and light. Common types of pollution include air pollution from vehicle and industrial emissions, noise pollution from transportation and industry, soil contamination from chemical spills and leaks, and water pollution from wastewater and plastic discharge. Multiple contaminants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, heavy metals and chlorinated hydrocarbons pollute the air, soil and water.
Lesson 5 The Increasing Global Demand For Energy
The document discusses the increasing global demand for energy due to population growth, rising wealth, and advancing technology. As populations grow and people have more money, they consume more consumer goods and energy-using products. This rising energy consumption has social, economic, and environmental impacts. Burning fossil fuels for energy releases greenhouse gases and pollutants, contributing to issues like global warming, acid rain, and habitat destruction. Meeting growing energy needs will require more power plants and infrastructure, which create jobs but also have negative land use and pollution effects.

Continuing Fossil Fuels & Renewable Resources
May 4, 2016
Oil
Like coal, most of the oil on Earth was formed millions of years ago
Certain warm shallow seas, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Tethys Sea were so ideal for life that organic material was formed faster than it could decompose
Large masses of organic material became buried at the sea bottom, were heated and pressurized, forming oil.
The present day distribution of oil lines up with these ancient shallow seas
Majority of oil reserves are in Middle Eastern countries
In elemental composition, oil is similar to coal
Mostly carbon, but also hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur
As a liquid, oil can be distilled (separated) into other fuels such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel
Oil Extraction
As a liquid, oil can be pumped directly out of the ground. This eliminates the need for mining.
A long drill is used to bore deep into the Earth to reach the deposit.
The hole is lined with a steel pipe and cement.
The top is outfitted with a collection of pipes and valves
The ease of transporting oil has enabled drilling at very remote locations
At its peak, Alaska accounted for about 25% of the U.S. oil production
It is transported to the southern ports of the state through the Alaska Oil Pipeline.
As a liquid, oil can also escape more easily, forming an oil spill
Oil spills are devastating to marine life
Penetrates through the fur and feathers of animals, reducing their ability to fly, float, and insulate themselves
Benthic organisms, living at the bottom of the sea, can be suffocated
Entire populations of krill and plankton can be wiped out
Oil Reserves
Of the fossil fuels, oil has been the most quickly depleted
Peak oil is defined as the point at which all known oil reserves have been tapped and production will begin declining in the following years.
The U.S. reached its peak production in the 1970s
The estimated date of worldwide peak oil is unknown
OPEC
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is comprised of 13 countries.
Members: Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.
In 2010, OPEC holds about 77% of the entire world’s crude oil reserves.
The U.S. has only about 2% of the world’s proven oil reserves. China has 1.1% and India has 0.4%. Japan as none
It will be necessary to find alternatives to or other sources of crude oil to sustain the today’s usage.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is actually a mixtures of gases
50-90% methane
Smaller amounts of propane and butane
As a gas, it is the most difficult fossil fuel to transport
A supply of natural gas exists above most oil wells, however, if no pipelines are nearby, it will often simply be burned off.
Natural gas has a relatively small amount of pollution produced by burning it (Only two waste products-CO2 & Water vapor)

u 1 ppt 1.doc
The document discusses India's energy crisis, including its shortage of oil refining capacity and the need to modernize aging refineries to meet environmental standards. India relies on old refineries from the Soviet era that operate at low capacity and cause pollution. Only one new private refinery meets world-class standards. Seven other refineries could be modernized but bureaucratic delays are exacerbating India's impending energy crisis.
20 energy1
The document discusses energy sources with a focus on fossil fuels. It provides a history of human energy consumption and traces the transition from early human muscle power to fossil fuels like coal and oil during the Industrial Revolution. It then examines topics like the formation of fossil fuels, how they are extracted and used, environmental impacts of fossil fuel extraction and use, debates around drilling in protected areas like ANWR, and strategies to reduce dependence on foreign oil like increasing domestic production.
Energy
Energy is the ability to do work and comes in two forms: kinetic energy from motion and potential energy stored and ready to be released. Food and fuel energies ultimately come from the sun, while electrical energy is often generated by burning fuels like coal. Renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydroelectric are replenished naturally, while nonrenewable fossil fuels like coal and nuclear energy are finite resources that take a long time to form.
Conventional energy sources
This document discusses conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels including oil, natural gas, and coal. It provides details on:
- Where these energy sources come from and how they are formed over long periods of time
- The extraction and processing methods used to produce usable fuels from these resources
- How these conventional fuels are used today to power transportation, generate electricity, heat homes and more, but also have disadvantages like greenhouse gas emissions and finite supply.
Conventional sources of energy
this presentation deals with the formation, depletion, conservation of various sources of energy. it also includes the various advantages and disadvantages of the sources.
Energy crisis
Energy crisis has been a recurring problem due to increasing demand and limited fossil fuel reserves. The 1973 and 1979 oil crises showed the world's dependence on oil from unstable regions. While renewable sources like solar and wind show promise, they currently only provide a small fraction of energy needs. Nuclear power provides temporary relief but uranium reserves will last less than 15 years if used widely. Coal reserves will last 100-215 years at current consumption rates but is also limited and dirty. No single replacement exists and transition will be difficult, requiring a mix of solutions and reduced consumption through efficiency. Public understanding of the science and anticipated challenges is crucial to navigating this global issue.
Fossil fuels pp
Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable energy resource formed from ancient organic matter over millions of years underground. The three main types are coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Coal was historically the primary energy source but is now mainly used for electricity generation. Petroleum provides liquid fuels like gasoline. Natural gas is used for heating and electricity production. However, burning fossil fuels contributes to air and water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

7). List some alternative power systems for the IC engines and the gas-turbines (jet engine).
Note that answers to problems 5, 6, and 7 must be supported by a reference (Journal, news
article, & ….).
Solution
B) Other than the above observation, fossil fuels are easily available. fossil fuels have been of
such a great source of energy, and there are many extractions going every day. Scientists and
geologists try to find out coal mines and petroleum fields to explore more of the fossil fuel, as
the pressure is increasing day by day due to increase in population and demand. Recent
advancement in science and geology, the refineries and the extraction procedures have also
improved and simplified a lot as compared to the earlier decades. This makes the availability
even smoother.
2. A) The biggest issue now a days with fossil fuels are the rising prices, Middle-east countries
such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and African nation such as Nigeria, have huge reserves of
oil and natural gas and many other countries are dependent on them for constant supply of these
fuels. Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a group of 13 countries
including Iran, Iraq and UAE are responsible for supplying 37 to 43% percent of the world’s oil
production and hold the majority of the world’s oil reserves. OPEC has a close watch of all the
natural gas and oil consumed worldwide and then according to the statistics adjusts it with their
own production to maintain its desired barrel price, resulting in high fluctuations in oil rates per
barrel.
B) Fossil fuels are needed in huge reserves wherever their plants are set up. This requires them to
be transported to the desired location via truck, train, ship or airplane. Often we hear of some
leaks in oil tankers or ship getting drowned deep under the sea that were carrying crude oil to get
refined. The impact of this is that crude oil contains some toxic substances which when mixed up
with water poses serious impact on aquatic life. Transportation of crude oil via sea can cause oil
spill which can pose hazard to the aquatic life by lessening the oxygen content of water.
3. A) Coal is the most widely used fossil fuel for electricity generation, as the cost for producing
steam via coal is 3 times cheaper than any other medium according to the Asian Coal Reserves
2013 they are also used in Steam locomotives to produce energy for the engine to work..
B) Diesel is used in Heavy commercial vehicles and trains, as they produce large amount of
energy for engine to work for transportation heavy goods. In the United States, 93 percent of the

coal
This document provides an overview of coal, including its history, formation, types, availability, uses, and effects. It discusses how coal is an unrenewable fossil fuel formed from prehistoric vegetation over millions of years. The document outlines coal's role as an energy source throughout history and today, providing statistics on its current global consumption and reserves. Both advantages and disadvantages of coal are presented, with disadvantages including health impacts from mining and air pollution, as well as environmental effects.
Energy
Canada relies heavily on both conventional and alternative energy sources. Conventional sources include coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power, which are non-renewable. Alternative sources such as wind and solar are renewable. Energy production provides significant economic benefits for Canada, generating jobs and business opportunities. However, energy also poses risks like pollution, hazardous waste, and environmental damage that must be addressed.

Solution
B) Other than the above observation, fossil fuels are easily available. fossil fuels have been of
such a great source of energy, and there are many extractions going every day. Scientists and
geologists try to find out coal mines and petroleum fields to explore more of the fossil fuel, as
the pressure is increasing day by day due to increase in population and demand. Recent
advancement in science and geology, the refineries and the extraction procedures have also
improved and simplified a lot as compared to the earlier decades. This makes the availability
even smoother.
2. A) The biggest issue now a days with fossil fuels are the rising prices, Middle-east countries
such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and African nation such as Nigeria, have huge reserves of
oil and natural gas and many other countries are dependent on them for constant supply of these
fuels. Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is a group of 13 countries
including Iran, Iraq and UAE are responsible for supplying 37 to 43% percent of the world’s oil
production and hold the majority of the world’s oil reserves. OPEC has a close watch of all the
natural gas and oil consumed worldwide and then according to the statistics adjusts it with their
own production to maintain its desired barrel price, resulting in high fluctuations in oil rates per
barrel.
B) Fossil fuels are needed in huge reserves wherever their plants are set up. This requires them to
be transported to the desired location via truck, train, ship or airplane. Often we hear of some
leaks in oil tankers or ship getting drowned deep under the sea that were carrying crude oil to get
refined. The impact of this is that crude oil contains some toxic substances which when mixed up
with water poses serious impact on aquatic life. Transportation of crude oil via sea can cause oil
spill which can pose hazard to the aquatic life by lessening the oxygen content of water.
3. A) Coal is the most widely used fossil fuel for electricity generation, as the cost for producing
steam via coal is 3 times cheaper than any other medium according to the Asian Coal Reserves
2013 they are also used in Steam locomotives to produce energy for the engine to work..
B) Diesel is used in Heavy commercial vehicles and trains, as they produce large amount of
energy for engine to work for transportation heavy goods. In the United States, 93 percent of the

coal
This document provides an overview of coal, including its history, formation, types, availability, uses, and effects. It discusses how coal is an unrenewable fossil fuel formed from prehistoric vegetation over millions of years. The document outlines coal's role as an energy source throughout history and today, providing statistics on its current global consumption and reserves. Both advantages and disadvantages of coal are presented, with disadvantages including health impacts from mining and air pollution, as well as environmental effects.
Energy
Canada relies heavily on both conventional and alternative energy sources. Conventional sources include coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power, which are non-renewable. Alternative sources such as wind and solar are renewable. Energy production provides significant economic benefits for Canada, generating jobs and business opportunities. However, energy also poses risks like pollution, hazardous waste, and environmental damage that must be addressed.
All about energy
This document provides an overview of various energy topics including:
- The main commercial energy sources are fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, as well as nuclear power. Renewable sources like solar, wind and hydropower are also discussed.
- Fossil fuels are non-renewable and their extraction and use causes environmental problems. Nuclear power presents issues with waste disposal. Renewables have potential but limited application currently.
- Conservation efforts and more efficient energy usage can help address these challenges. Alternative technologies like fuel cells may provide cleaner energy sources. Overall the best energy future would diversify sources and continue developing renewables.
Energy Resources
This document discusses various energy sources including fossil fuels like oil, natural gas and coal which were formed from ancient organic matter. It notes that fossil fuels are non-renewable and will run out eventually. The document also covers renewable energy sources like hydropower, wind, solar and geothermal which can be replenished. It emphasizes the importance of conservation and transitioning to renewable resources to ensure future generations have access to energy.
Fossil fuel
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas currently provide over 85% of the energy consumed in the United States and are expected to continue powering the economy for decades. Coal forms from decayed plant matter that is compressed over millions of years, oil forms from the remains of ancient organisms, and natural gas forms from small aquatic organisms. These fossil fuels are refined and used to power transportation, generate electricity, produce raw materials, and heat homes. However, extraction and transportation accidents can also cause ecological disasters like the Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon oil spills.
Fossil fuel
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas currently provide over 85% of the energy consumed in the United States and nearly two-thirds of its electricity. Coal is formed from vegetation that died millions of years ago and was compressed over time. Oil is formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals and is refined to make gasoline, diesel, and other products. Natural gas is formed from ancient algae and is used to create electricity, steel, and other materials. Major oil spills like the Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon catastrophes caused environmental and economic damage.
Fossil fuels
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas were formed from the remains of ancient organisms millions of years ago. Coal forms from dead vegetation that fell into swamps, got buried, and underwent heat and pressure over time. Oil forms similarly from buried plant and animal remains. Natural gas forms from microscopic organisms and is composed primarily of methane. These fossil fuels are important energy sources that are used to generate electricity, fuel vehicles and machinery, and produce other products through refining. Major oil spills like the Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon catastrophes caused environmental damage when crude oil leaked into waterways.

Magna carta and the law of nature
This document discusses a lecture given by Richard H. Helmholz on the topic of Magna Carta and the law of nature. The lecture explores possible connections between Magna Carta, which was enacted in 1215, and principles of natural law as understood at that time and for centuries afterward. While recent scholarship has been skeptical of portraying Magna Carta as guaranteeing broad human rights or natural law, the lecture examines whether the enactment of Magna Carta could be connected to contemporary understandings of justice and natural law. The lecture acknowledges limitations in proving conclusions definitively but aims to reasonably infer connections from evidence in Magna Carta's clauses based on natural law perspectives current at the time, rather than an

James Madison proposed the Bill of Rights in response to calls for more protections of basic liberties in the newly ratified Constitution. The first ten amendments were ratified in 1791 and guarantee freedoms like speech, religion, press, trial rights, search and seizure protections, and the right to bear arms. The Bill of Rights plays a central role in American law and government and protects fundamental rights and values of the nation.
Feudal strength! henry ii and the struggle for royal control in
Henry II faced the challenge of reasserting royal authority over powerful feudal barons who had gained influence and control over lands during the chaotic reign of King Stephen. Henry worked to curb the barons' power by destroying unauthorized castles and establishing a centralized system of common law with the crown at its head. Through military prowess and administrative reforms, Henry was largely successful in reclaiming royal power, expanding the authority of the monarchy in legal matters and its relationship with the church. However, the difficulties of controlling a vast feudal empire remained immense for even a skilled ruler like Henry.
Constitution
The Constitution establishes the legislative branch of the US government, known as Congress, which is made up of the Senate and House of Representatives. It outlines the composition and election process for both chambers, as well as their powers and responsibilities. These include the ability to create laws, approve the federal budget, declare war, and impeach and remove the president or other federal officials from office. The Constitution also establishes the basic framework for how legislation is passed and how the executive branch, through the president, can veto bills.
Bill of rights

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
