This document discusses variation orders and summarizes key points about them:
1. A variation order occurs when the actual work to be carried out or the circumstances of work changes from what is specified in the original contract. Variations include additions, omissions, substitutions of works, or changes to materials, removal of works, or working conditions.
2. For a variation to be valid, an architect's instruction must be issued. The architect has the power to issue variations as long as they are within the scope of work in the contract.
3. The document provides advice to a client about two proposed changes to a shopping complex project. While the architect can issue an instruction for one change, increasing the floor area

This document discusses the history of efforts to establish a unified European patent system. It describes several international agreements and proposals over the past 70 years aimed at harmonizing patent law across European countries, including the European Patent Convention of 1973 which established the European Patent Office. However, issues around translation requirements, validation processes, and lack of a centralized patent court have prevented a fully unitary system from being realized. The document outlines more recent proposals like the European Patent Litigation Agreement and the European Union's unitary patent proposals to further advance a unified system.

The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024Sinan KOZAK
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.

Pre-treatment of biogas before entering the SOFC is validated.
On 01.12, the first characterization of the biogas in WWTP Lleida was carried out before
and after being subjected to the pre-treatment (iron salts + zeolites + activated carbon), in
order to verify the performance of the proposed pre-treatment. The main results are:
• Moisture removal from 10,800 ppm to 5,000 ppm.
• No presence of siloxanes (<0.05 mg / Nm3) neither in input nor in pre-treated biogas.
• Total removal of H2S (80.3 mg/Nm3 inlet)
• Presence of ammonia, with slight concentration increase (from 8.8 to 11.4 mg / Nm3)
• No presence of VOC in the input (<0.02 mg / Nm3), but surprisingly a small
concentration in pre-treated biogas (1 mg / Nm3).
Further analyitcal determination are going to be done in 2023.

Concentrated solar pilot plant for sludge treatment
• Monitoring of:
- Temperature
- Moisture (for drying evaluation)
- Volatile matter (for hydrolysis evaluation & carbonization)
- E. Coli, Samonella ssp., Clostridium perfringens (for disinfection
evaluation), contrasting with EC draft.
• Evaluation of results:
- Monitored variables at different set temperatures will be contrasted
with models
• Mode:
- Batch tests proof of concept
- Development & test of a continuous system
