The Ozone Layer: Formation and DepletionKamran Ansari
This presentation explains the Earth's atmosphere and its composition and variation of temperature and pressure in different layers of the atmosphere. It contains atmospheric circulation in troposphere and stratosphere. It explains the process of ozone formation and how its stability affects by the other chemical components which lead to the ozone depletion and ozone hole. It also contains the cosmic ray theory of ozone hole.
Atmospheric ozone protects the Earth and its inhabitants from the harmful ultraviolet radiation of the Sun. Without this protective layer, more ultraviolet radiation would reach the surface of the Earth and cause damage to plant, animal and human life. This module explains the importance of ozone, the causes of its depletion and the effects expected on earth's systems.

Automate machine for rescue operation for childeSAT Journals
Abstract
The aim of the project is to rescue of trapped child in to the boar well by continues monitoring & supply of necessary items to survive using technical method. These bore wells in turn have started to take many innocent lives. Bores which yielded water and subsequently got depleted are left uncovered. Small children without noticing the hole dug for the bore well slip in and get trapped. To aid in such rescue we have proposed a system. The Methods to keep a child alive in a bore should take in to consideration the lack of oxygen, increased temperatures and humidity, which produces hyperthermia. These problems are addressed with fresh air delivery with or without oxygen. A hand-powered equipment to deliver fresh air inside bore is being designed. This method brings down temperature and delivers fresh air. Visualizing the child is made possible with infrared waterproof cameras and a portable high resolution TV Monitor. This is light weight machine that will go down into the bore well pipe and save the child life systematically. This machine will go down the bore well and perform the action. This robot type machine can stay alive trapped body from bore well until parallel hall will be dug up which will work as minimum amount of time and save the child life systematically.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Agenda
• Introduction
• Composition
• Pollutants
• Acid Rain
• Global Warming
• Ways to prevent Global Warming
3. Introduction
• Many effects on earth, such as global warming , are
brought by chemical reactions.
• The Earth is surrounded by a think air layer called the
atmosphere. Air is essential for life. Without air, life
would not be possible.
4. Composition
Atmosphere composition…
• Nitrogen 78.084%
• Oxygen 20.946%
• Argon 0.934%
• Other gases >1%
Atmospheric chemistry allows us to understand the
changes of atmosphere composition and gives us views on
the air pollution, thus making us to protect the earth……
5. Pollutants
Pollutants can come from both natural sources and from human
activities. However, human are usually the main cause of the
atmospheric problems as 80% of the world-wide energy demand
is currently supplied by the fossil fuels coal, oil or gas.
6 main pollutants: Natural Sources:
• Sulfur dioxide - Volcanic eruptions
• Nitrogen oxides - Forest fires
• Carbon monoxide - Biological processes
• Methane
• Unburnt hydrocarbons
• Ozone
6. Sulfur Dioxide
• Petroleum and Coal are used as fuels to generate energy.
• However, large amount fossil fuels are burnt in industries to
provide energy.
• Both these fuels contain sulfur as an impurity.
When these fuels are burnt, the sulfur is oxidized to form
sulfur dioxide.
S(s) + O2(g) SO2 (g)
(present (present
in fuel) in air)
7. Nitrogen Oxides
• At high temperatures, nitrogen and oxygen in the air
combine to form nitrogen monoxide.
• The nitrogen monoxide combines with more oxygen
molecules in the atmosphere to become nitrogen dioxide.
• Occurs Naturally in lighting and forest fires
• Most produced inside vehicle engines and Incinerators.
N2 (g) + O2 (g) 2NO (g)
2NO (g) + O2 (g) 2NO2 (g)
8. Carbon Monoxide
• Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas.
• Mostly comes from incomplete combustion of fuel in engines.
• Highly toxic to humans and animals in higher quantities.
• It combines with hemoglobin in the red blood cells to produce
carboxyhemoglobin in normal persons.
• It is especially dangerous because it is colourless and
odourless, without any warning of its presence.
Video on the effects:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKIrbq2pWvw
9. Methane
• Methane is a colorless, odorless gas.
• Naturally present in the atmosphere from the bacterial
decay of vegetation and other sources.(Small amount)
• Increasing amount because of human activities.
• Methane is a relatively potent greenhouse gas, trapping the
heat in the atmosphere causing Global warming.
10. Unburnt Hydrocarbons
• Produce when incomplete combustion of
octane in petrol.
• hydrocarbons emitted after petroleum is
burned in an engine
11. Ozone
• Form of Oxygen; Colourless gas.
• Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere Surrounds the Earth
at high altitudes and prevents us from harmful solar
radiation.
However......
• An air pollutant at the lower atmosphere with harmful
effects on the respiratory systems of animals and burning
sensitive plants.
Next page……
12. Ozone Hole
• A portion of the layer is depleted by
chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)
• Although CFCs are harmless, they can rise up high into the
atmosphere and decomposed by sunlight to produce
chlorine atoms.
• The chlorine atoms react with the ozone molecules and
destroy them by converting them into oxygen molecules.
13. Photochemical Smog
• Caused by reactions between
sunlight and pollutants.
• Often invisible, it can be extremely
harmful, leading to irritations of the
respiratory tract and eyes.
14. Acid Rain
• Formed from 2 air pollutants – sulfur dioxide and
nitrogen dioxide.
• Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide reacts with oxygen
and water to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid
respectively which dissolves in rainwater, making it
acidic.
2SO2 (g) + O2(g) + 2H2O (l) SO2 (g)
15. Effects of Acid Rain
• Causes soils to become acidic, plants do not grow well.
• Cause water to become acidic which results in the many
deaths of marine life.
• Corrodes buildings made of limestone or cement as they
react with calcium carbonate.
16. Global Warming
• Increasing volume of atmospheric Methane and Carbon
dioxide.
• Trap the heat radiation and prevent it from entering the
space.
• Due to human activities, this greenhouse gases" is
occupying more percentage in the total composition of air.
• Resulting the Earth to become hotter.
17. Consequences of Global Warming
• The polar ice caps will melt.
• Seawater will expand and sea levels will rise, causing
frequent flooding of low-lying areas.
• Aquatic animals’ habitats will be greatly affected, causing
animals like polar bears to become extinct.
18. Preventing Global Warming
• Reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned by using solar
panels.
• More electricity could be generated through other means
such as wind, tidal, hydroelectric power.
• Say “No” to Global Warming
