Introduction to Science 3.3 : Scientific Models
Scientific models are used to represent objects or systems in the natural world. There are three main types of scientific models: physical models, which resemble the actual object; mathematical models, which use equations and data; and conceptual models, which explain ideas through comparisons. Models allow scientists to study things that are too small, like cells, or too large, like the solar system. Models help illustrate scientific theories and build knowledge, though theories and models may change as new evidence is discovered. Scientific laws are formed when a theory's models consistently predict experimental results and summarize what is observed.
datamodel_vector
GIS data models define real-world phenomena in a way that computers can interpret and analyze. There are two main data models: vector and raster. Vector data models use points, lines, and polygons defined by x,y coordinates to represent discrete geographic features. Raster data models use a grid of cells or pixels to represent continuous surfaces like elevation or rainfall. Scale affects how spatial entities are represented as points, lines, or polygons in a vector data model. Common vector data formats include shapefiles, coverages, and digital line graphs.
All types of model(Simulation & Modelling) #ShareThisIfYouLike
This document discusses different types of models used in computer science and engineering. It defines models as representations and abstractions of real or proposed systems. Models are classified as mathematical, physical, static, dynamic, linear, nonlinear, stable, unstable, analytical, numerical, descriptive, and prescriptive. Examples are provided for each type to illustrate the distinctions between mathematical, physical, static, dynamic, linear, nonlinear, stable, unstable, analytical, numerical, descriptive, and prescriptive models. Distributed-lag and autoregressive models are also introduced as special cases of regression models.
Environmental Geography- An Intro
The document introduces environmental geography and discusses how human actions can damage the environment. It provides examples of how activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, plastic waste, and oil drilling release pollutants and greenhouse gases that harm the environment. The document urges readers to consider how to reduce their environmental impact and lists some causes and effects of environmental damage.

This document discusses a lecture given by Richard H. Helmholz on the topic of Magna Carta and the law of nature. The lecture explores possible connections between Magna Carta, which was enacted in 1215, and principles of natural law as understood at that time and for centuries afterward. While recent scholarship has been skeptical of portraying Magna Carta as guaranteeing broad human rights or natural law, the lecture examines whether the enactment of Magna Carta could be connected to contemporary understandings of justice and natural law. The lecture acknowledges limitations in proving conclusions definitively but aims to reasonably infer connections from evidence in Magna Carta's clauses based on natural law perspectives current at the time, rather than an

Feudal strength! henry ii and the struggle for royal control in
Henry II faced the challenge of reasserting royal authority over powerful feudal barons who had gained influence and control over lands during the chaotic reign of King Stephen. Henry worked to curb the barons' power by destroying unauthorized castles and establishing a centralized system of common law with the crown at its head. Through military prowess and administrative reforms, Henry was largely successful in reclaiming royal power, expanding the authority of the monarchy in legal matters and its relationship with the church. However, the difficulties of controlling a vast feudal empire remained immense for even a skilled ruler like Henry.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Monitoring and Managing Anomaly Detection on OpenShift.pdf

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

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.
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.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

AI & Electronic WarfareDandelion 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).

- 1. Geography 6 Environmental Geography Thursdays 7:00-9:50 PM Section 69368 Professor Lisa Schmidt
- 7. Course Description There may be no more crucial subject of study today than the study of Earth’s environmental problems. This course is an introduction to some of those problems. When you finish this course, you will be able to think and speak effectively about the environmental challenges we face today, particularly those related to population growth, economic growth, the declines of traditional cultures, poverty, energy use, climate change and their impacts. You will be able to answer the question “what can we do to avoid a crisis in the global environment?” Geography as a discipline is an ideal vehicle for understanding problems and finding solutions in the global environment. Geography’s great strength as a science is its holistic perspective, integrating understanding of people with understanding of the natural environment. Using geographic perspectives, in this class we will ask not “how can we best protect nature?” but “how can we best protect nature while enduring an adequate standard of living for the world’s people?” You will gain a global perspective on our environment through geography. You will use the geographical approach to understand the biosphere, environmental principles, economics and environment, human impact, extinction and biodiversity, food/population crises, the social environment, global tampering, and contemporary values in global environmental issues.
