One of the major topics in physics is motion. Everything around us moves. Motion is all about forces. Force is the one that acts upon an object to move, or to change its motion.
Motion of objects in physics are expressed by distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration which are associated with mathematical quantities called scalar and vector.

An introduction to significant figures
Enzymes are biological molecules that act as catalysts, facilitating and accelerating chemical reactions within living organisms. They play a crucial role in various physiological processes, contributing to the maintenance and regulation of cellular functions. Here are key features and functions of enzymes:
Carbohydrates are organic compounds comprising carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They serve as a primary energy source for the body. There are three main types:
Monosaccharides: Single sugar units (e.g., glucose, fructose).
Disaccharides: Two linked sugar units (e.g., sucrose, lactose).
Polysaccharides: Long chains of sugar units (e.g., starch, glycogen, cellulose).
Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with salivary amylase breaking down starch into smaller sugars. In the small intestine, pancreatic enzymes further digest carbohydrates. Absorbed sugars enter the bloodstream, regulating blood glucose levels. Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. Dietary fiber, a non-digestible polysaccharide, promotes digestive health.Carbohydrates are organic compounds comprising carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

22. 1.2 PHYSICS AND ITS BRANCHES
WHAT IS Physics?
This is the study of matter and
energy and their relationship.
Physicists believe that most everyday
phenomena can, in one way or
another, be explained through physics,
as matter and energy are the basic
constituents of the natural world. We
may not be aware of it, but everything
we see and don’t see is simply matter
and the energy it possesses.
23. This is also divided into two main branches
– CLASSICAL PHYSICS and MODERN
PHYSICS.
CLASSICAL PHYSICS – refers to the
traditional topics in physics that were
recognized and developed before the
beginning of the 20th century.
MODERN PHYSICS – refers to concepts in
physics that have surfaced since the
beginning of the 20th century. This is mostly
concerned with the behavior of matter and
energy under extreme conditions(the very
large or the very small)
24. SUBBRANCHES OF PHYSICS
• Classical Physics
•Mechanics – the study of forces acting on bodies whether at
rest or in motion.

26. 1.3 PHYSICS IS MORE THAN JUST A NATURAL
PHILOSOPHY
Physics was separated from philosophy because of one
important factor – it employed an approach known as
scientific method.
Scientific Method – is the application of a logical process
reasoning to arrive at a certain law or principle that is
consistent with experimental results.
1.4 PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY : PARTNERS FOR
PROGRESS
Physics, which attempts to understand nature and its laws, has
become a very important field of human knowledge. It has
helped us change both the physical and social dimension s of
our environment through the development of technology in the
form of new tools, or gadgets, new products and new
processes.

Simple
Physics, which attempts to understand nature and
its laws, has become a very important field of human
knowledge. It has helped us change both physical and
social dimensions of our environment through development
of technology in the form of gadgets, new products and new
processes.
28. 2.1 MATHEMATICS: AN ESSENTIAL TOOL
Physics without mathematics is unthinkable. We will
find out that the basic rules governing the behavior of nature are
readily expressed in mathematical form throughout the study of
physics.
2.1.1 Scientific Notation
Physics involves concepts which are described by very large or
very small quantities. Consider the following:
Mass of the earth :
6 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 kg
Mass of an electron:
0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 911 kg
29. These very huge and minute magnitudes will take up much space
when written down and are difficult to use in calculations. To work
with these quantities more easily, you can express them in a
compact way of writing over a wide range of values known as
scientific notation.
In scientific notation, the numbers are represented by the product
of a multiplying factor and a power of ten.
In adding or subtracting numbers expressed in scientific notation,
quantities must have the same exponents as well as units. If the
powers of ten are not the same, they must be made the same.
In multiplying numbers using scientific notation, the product of
these must be the product of the base numbers and 10 raised to
the sum of their exponents.
In dividing numbers written in scientific notation, the quotient of
these id the quotient of the base numbers and 10 raised to the
difference of their exponents.
30. 2.1.2 Significant Figures
In studying physics, we will do a lot of measurements of physical
quantities. When we record and report the numerical values of
measurements, we must express them in a numerical form which is
composed of digits that are known with certainty plus the first uncertain
digit. These digits are known as significant digits or significant
figures.
In general, the number of significant figures of a numerical quantity is
the number of reliably known digits it contains and is based on the
precision of the instrument used in measuring the quantity.
Rules in determining significant figures
1.Leading zeros are not significant, they simply locate the
decimal point.
Ex. 0.000143 has three significant figures.
2. Zeros between two nonzero digits are significant.
Ex. 105.03 has five significant figures.
3. Trailing zeros are usually significant, but can be ambiguous.
Ex. 100. has three significant figures.
1.00 has three significant figures.
100 is ambiguous.
31. In multiplication or division of numbers using significant figures , the
general rule is that the results are as precise as the least precise value,
that is, the value with the fewest significant figures.
In addition or subtraction, the precision of the result is no better than that
of the least precise quantity being calculated. It means that the result
occupies the same position relative to the decimal point as the position in
the number whose last significant figure is the farthest to the left.
2.2 MEASUREMENT: A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Measurement are used to describe such quantities as
length, weight, area, volume, and time. It is a
quantitative description of a fundamental property or
physical phenomenon. When we measure, we compare
an unknown quantity with a certain standard called unit
of measurement.
32. 2.2.1 Standard Units of Measure
This table shows the different quantities with their corresponding
units.
A. FUNDAMENTAL QUANTITIES
34. 2.2.2 Conversion of Units
Units in different system or even different units in the same
system can express the same quantity. To avoid confusion, it
is therefore necessary to convert the units of a quantity from
one unit to another.
Conversion of units can be done by multiplying the original unit
by an appropriate conversion factor. Conversion factors are
simply equivalence statements expressed in the form of ratios
equal to 1.
In converting units, we must take advantage of unit analysis.
That is, choosing the appropriate form of conversion factor that
will allow cancellation of unwanted units and thus give the
answer in the desired unit.
35. 2.2.3 Minute and Huge Measurement
A better method of measuring small distances is by the use
of the micrometer and the vernier caliper.
Micrometer are used to make accurate measurements of the
thickness of a sheet of paper and the external diameter of
thin wires.
Vernier caliper is used for measuring wither the internal or
external diameters of tubes, pipes , rods, etc. The distance
between the jaws of the caliper is read on a scale attached
to the instrument.
2.2.4 Not All is Certain: The Limits of
Measurement
There is no such thing as a perfect measurement. Every
measurement, whether made by a student or a
professional scientist, contains a certain degree of
uncertainty.
36. Uncertainty in measurements can result from limitations in accuracy
or precision. These limitations can be attributed to systematic errors
and random errors.
Systematic errors are due to the limitations of the measuring
instruments and the skill or carefulness of the experimenter.
Random errors are caused by external factors beyond the control of
the experimenter such as vibrations, noise, changes in atmospheric
pressure and friction.
Accuracy of measurement describes how well the results agree with
an accepted value of the quantity being measured.
Precision refers to the degree of exactness to which a
measurement can be reproduced.
37. 2.3 EQUATIONS; RELATIONSHIPS IN A CAPSULE
On e of the most important and useful ideas in mathematics is
the idea that two variables may be related to each other. This
idea, known as proportion or variation, finds frequent
applications in physical sciences.
2.3.1 Direct Proportion
In direct proportionality, one quantity varies directly as the other
quantity. In symbols, y = kx or k = y where k is the constant of
variation. x
2.3.2 Inverse Proportion
An inverse proportion is on wherein an increase in one quantity
means a decrease in the other. In symbol, y = k or k = xy
where k is the constant of variation. x
38. 2.3.3 Direct Square proportion
In some cases, we can see both quantities are increasing but one
quantity increases faster than the other. This relationship is known as
y
direct square proportion. In symbols, y = kx 2 ork = 2 where k is
the constant of variation. x
2.3.4 Inverse Square Proportion
Another kind of relationship is where one quantity decreases
faster as the other quantity increases. This is known as inverse
square proportion. In symbol, y = k2 or k = x y where k is the
2
constant of variation. x
2.3.5 Manipulating Equations
An unknown variable can be solved by manipulating
equations.
