Habitats
This document provides background information and instructions for an activity where students design an animal adapted to a specific environment. It defines key terms like adaptation, organism, environment, and habitat. It explains that most animals are only adapted to 1-2 habitats and would struggle if placed elsewhere. The activity has students choose an environment, design an animal with adaptations for that habitat, and consider how it would be affected if the habitat changed. The goal is for students to understand that organisms must be suited to their environment to survive and thrive.
Unit 1 ecology powerpoint 1 revised 2012
The document provides an introduction to an ecological biology class, outlining expectations for students including obtaining handouts, materials needed, and discussing what biology is as a science and discipline. It explores the characteristics of life through an interactive demonstration of determining if an object is alive or not based on observations. The class will focus on studying life and the role of water through examining common characteristics of organisms and using the river as a unifying theme.

This document provides instructions for students to conduct a study of plant and animal interactions in their local environment. Students are asked to delineate a 1 square meter area and observe the plant and animal life present. They will then answer questions about the types of plants and animals observed, their sizes, abundances, and the relationships between the plant and animal populations.
Qtr 2 module 5 interactions
1. The document provides an overview of ecosystems, populations, communities, and interactions between organisms and their environment. It discusses how organisms within a population of the same species interact and how populations interact to form communities.
2. The document contains activities that explore how organisms depend on each other and their environment. In one activity, students observe the interactions between plants, fish, and snails in different containers. In another, students identify predators and prey in photos and describe how energy is transferred between organisms.
3. Energy is transferred between organisms as producers like plants produce food through photosynthesis, primary consumers eat plants, secondary consumers eat primary consumers, and tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers. This energy transfer between organisms in an ecosystem
Ecosystem
This document discusses ecosystems and their components. It begins by defining ecology as the study of how organisms interact with each other and their environment. It then defines the biosphere as the total life found on Earth.
The document goes on to define an ecosystem as the set of species in a given area that interact through processes like predation and competition, along with their abiotic environment. Ecosystems can vary in size from small areas under trees to large regions like rainforests. Within ecosystems, species are dependent on each other and facilitate the flow of matter and energy.
The document also distinguishes between flora, which are plant life, and fauna, which are animal life in a given ecosystem. Flora
7-2. the characteristics of living organism
The document describes the key characteristics of living organisms: movement, eating, breathing, irritability, growth, excretion, and reproduction. It provides examples of how different organisms such as plants, animals, and humans demonstrate each characteristic. The document also compares and contrasts how living and non-living things exhibit these characteristics.
ecology
Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environments. An ecosystem is a community of interacting organisms and their abiotic environment. Abiotic factors include physical elements like temperature and chemical elements like pH levels. Biotic factors include producers like plants, consumers like herbivores and carnivores, and decomposers that break down waste. Together, biotic and abiotic factors work to maintain homeostasis and stability within the ecosystem.
Unit 3 Science (Glencoe Red 2002)
This document provides information about the connections between beverages, bottles, cans, and wildlife. It discusses:
1) How containers for beverages have evolved from clay jars and animal skins to glass bottles to metal cans. Cans became popular because they were stackable, non-breakable, and cooled drinks quickly.
2) The plastic six-pack yoke was invented to bind cans together for transport but unfortunately also bound and entangled thousands of birds, fish, and marine animals when released into the environment.
3) Today animals are still being harmed and sometimes killed by discarded plastic six-pack yokes and other plastic waste in the environment.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/how-axelera-ai-uses-digital-compute-in-memory-to-deliver-fast-and-energy-efficient-computer-vision-a-presentation-from-axelera-ai/
Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Taking AI to the Next Level in Manufacturing.pdf

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
