This document describes numerical modeling work conducted by Pierluigi Olmati from 2010-2013 while a PhD student at Sapienza University of Rome. It focuses on modeling the response of precast concrete sandwich wall panels to close-in detonations of explosive charges. The document outlines Olmati's educational background and timeline, provides details on the numerical models created to simulate the detonation scenario and different panel configurations, and presents results validating the model against previous experimental blast tests.

BLAST RESISTANCE OF REINFORCED PRECAST CONCRETE WALLS UNDER UNCERTAINTYFranco Bontempi
Extreme loads can have devastating effects on civilian structures since these buildings are not designed to have to withstand extreme events. Typical buildings and other critical infrastructure are particularly prone to external man-made attacks. This study focuses on probabilistic analyses, and investigates the probability of failure of a precast concrete wall subjected to blast loads. The wall under investigation is a non-load bearing precast concrete panel used as exterior cladding for buildings. From the blast design point of view, these walls must protect people and equipment from external detonations. The aim of the paper is to compute both the fragility curves of typical precast concrete cladding subjected to blast loads, and the failure probability of the cladding, considering a detonation of a vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED). To this aim non-linear dynamic analyses are carried out by the widely adopted equivalent non-linear SDOF method for the precast concrete panel. The fragility curves and the failure probability of the precast concrete cladding wall are computed using Monte Carlo simulations.

On exploiting Gamification for the Crowdsensing of Air Pollution: a Case Stud...Michael Bosello
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3411170.3411256
Cities all over the world struggle with air pollution. With the ever-increasing concentration of people in urban areas, more and more people suffer from the negative effects of air pollutants. Crowdsensing systems are a unique chance to increase the users' awareness of this problem and to provide more fine-grained data to policymakers so that they can adopt appropriate strategies. In this paper, we present a crowdsensing system to collect air pollution in urban and suburban environments through the use of bicycles. It consists of a Web application, enriched with gamification elements, that communicates with a portable low-cost sensor. The user interface of such a system, as well as the adopted gamification mechanisms, has been designed by involving a group of target users, with the aim of better meeting users' preferences and needs, and, then, better engaging them.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
