Empacts of energy use
The document discusses different types of energy and their associated waste emissions. It notes that natural gas produces nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sometimes methane or leaks, which can harm aquatic life. Coal produces carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury compounds, releasing sulfur dioxide that damages trees and contaminates lakes and rivers. Oil production results in methane emissions from wells and equipment as well as natural gas burned during production, both of which can harm fish and plants. Nuclear energy uses fossil fuels and impacts aquatic life through water removal and radioactive waste. Hydroelectricity may release methane and nitrous oxide if vegetation decomposes in lakes, and affects wildlife by altering river ecosystems. Biomass burning produces nitrogen oxides
1. acid rain
Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions reacting with water molecules in the atmosphere. It can harm plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure as it makes rainwater acidic. The document discusses how acid rain is caused, its environmental and health impacts like forest damage and respiratory issues, and potential prevention methods like vehicle emissions controls and wet scrubbers in power plants.
Save the environment
The document discusses several major problems facing Earth's environment including increasing global temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions, melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels. Air pollution depletes the ozone layer and emits gases like carbon monoxide that damage the ozone. Acid rain from air pollutants harms plants and buildings. Deforestation reduces rainfall leading to droughts while pollution negatively impacts human health. The document calls for tree planting and conservation to protect the environment.
Environmental issues
The document discusses several environmental issues:
1) Ozone layer depletion is caused by chemicals like CFCs that release chlorine, which breaks down the ozone layer and allows more UV radiation to reach the Earth.
2) Global warming is caused by increases in greenhouse gases like CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide, which form a blanket and trap heat in the atmosphere. This leads to rising temperatures and sea levels and changes in climate and rainfall.
3) Threats to biodiversity include factors like human population growth, over-hunting, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts include protected areas and wildlife regulations.
Acid rain and its effects
Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides reacting with water in the atmosphere. It can harm plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure by having a low pH. It impacts the environment through loss of fish in sensitive lakes and streams, eliminating insect life and fish species. Prevention methods include vehicle emission controls, fluidized bed combustion in power plants, and wet scrubbers that inject limestone to remove sulfur dioxide from smokestack gases.
Contaminacion Renovado2[1]
Pollution is contaminating the Earth's air, water, and land and causing global warming. Various human activities like trash dumping, chemical waste from factories, vehicle emissions, and deforestation are polluting the environment. This pollution is warming the planet and melting ice caps, raising sea levels and increasing risks of floods and extreme weather. While some climate change occurs naturally, human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation are major contributors according to scientists. Protecting the environment is important to avoid worse consequences in the future.
Pollution
Industrial water pollution comes from factories dumping chemicals into waterways and from farm runoff containing pesticides and fertilizers. Large oil spills from tanker accidents can also pollute oceans and coastlines. Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste that remains dangerous for thousands of years if not stored properly. Pollution has become a global issue from various sources like factories, farms, sewage, dumping, and oil spills which harm wildlife, plants, and humans. Strict rules aim to limit industrial pollution but are not always enforced.
3 Global warming m
Global warming is caused by pollution from factories and burning fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and are contributing to rising global temperatures, especially in the Arctic where temperatures have increased twice as much as the global average. As the Arctic warms, Arctic sea ice is rapidly disappearing and may be completely gone in summer by 2040. This is negatively impacting polar bears and indigenous Arctic cultures that rely on sea ice. Rising sea levels from melted glaciers and thermal expansion of warming oceans also threaten many low-lying islands and coastal areas with destruction from flooding.

Weathering is the process by which rocks break down into smaller pieces. There are three main types of weathering: mechanical, chemical, and biological. Mechanical weathering occurs when temperature changes cause rocks to expand and contract, breaking them into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering happens when acid rain forms from carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the atmosphere, and the acid dissolves the minerals in rocks. Biological weathering is caused by plant roots and small creatures penetrating cracks in rocks and breaking them apart.

Deforestation
Each tree provides oxygen for 18 people's lifetimes and lowers summer temperatures by 20 degrees Celsius in its shade. However, continuous deforestation for furniture, buildings, and medicine has caused problems like soil erosion, water scarcity, and global warming. To address these issues, people should grow more trees, control tree cutting, protect forest areas, and reduce wood usage to save the world.
Presentac..
Global warming affects the air, water, and ground through various forms of pollution. The air is impacted by vehicle emissions which produce smog, aerosol cans which damage the ozone layer, and factory fumes. Water becomes contaminated by chemical waste from factories, petrol, rubbish from ships and litter on the ground. The ground is polluted by rubbish, batteries, acid rain, destruction of forests which kills animals, and radioactive materials. The pollution causes issues like rising temperatures, melting ice caps, and more extreme weather events like floods.
global warming
Global warming is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane released from human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This has led to a 0.8 degree Celsius rise in average global temperatures since the late 19th century, with most of the increase occurring after 1980. Effects of global warming include melting glaciers and sea ice, rising sea levels, changes in precipitation patterns, and loss of habitats that threaten some species. Reducing emissions through renewable energy and improving efficiency, as well as individual conservation efforts, can help mitigate the impacts of climate change.

The document discusses ways to protect the environment such as saving water and energy, recycling plastic and other materials, planting trees, using bikes for transportation, and reducing air pollution. It encourages protecting natural landscapes like lakes, sand dunes, and national parks while being mindful of how human activities like cutting down trees and pollution from power plants can harm the environment. The overall message is that small individual actions can help preserve the land and natural resources for future generations.
Beach pollution facts- Friend of the sea
Mostly Marine Pollution comes from land-based sources. When pesticides are incorporated into marine life, they quickly become absorbed into marine food webs. This can be harmful to humans as well as the entire food chain.
Acid rain
Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from natural and human sources combining with water vapor to form acids. It falls as rain, snow, or fog with a pH below 5.6. Acid rain damages trees, aquatic life, buildings, and the overall environment. It strips leaves from trees, stunts their growth, and makes them vulnerable. Fish eggs are killed before hatching and fish populations decline as a food source for birds. Stone buildings experience accelerated weathering as the acids dissolve minerals. Solutions include using cleaner fuels with less sulfur and removing sulfur dioxide from power plant emissions, though this is expensive.
One Tree Planted: Lesson plan 2 slides
This document discusses the importance of trees and forests. It notes that within 100 years, rainforests may be gone as 17% of the Amazon has been cleared in 50 years. Trees provide oxygen, clean the air and water, provide habitat for biodiversity, jobs for people, medicine ingredients, and help regulate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. One tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. There are estimated to be over 3 trillion trees on Earth already, but more need to be planted to address climate change issues.
The Hydrophere & Acid Rain
This document summarizes acid rain, its causes, and its effects. It explains that acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide gases released from burning fossil fuels reacting with water vapor and falling as rain. This damages trees, erodes buildings, and harms aquatic life. The document also discusses how increased CO2 from industry and vehicles is contributing to climate change by enhancing the greenhouse effect. Solutions proposed include installing scrubbers in smokestacks and using catalytic converters.
Case study on acid rain
Acid rain is caused by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emitted from the burning of fossil fuels. It damages buildings, statues, and other structures made of materials like marble and limestone. It also harms plants and aquatic life by making soils and waters more acidic. The Taj Mahal has been affected by acid rain due to emissions from a nearby oil refinery, causing the marble to discolor. Remedial measures include installing scrubbers in factory chimneys and converting vehicles and energy production to less polluting methods.
Photosynthesis part 3
There are two main processes in the natural carbon cycle: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis involves producers converting inorganic carbon like CO2 into organic compounds like glucose. Cellular respiration returns carbon back to the atmosphere as CO2. Some CO2 dissolves in the ocean and some is used by marine organisms through photosynthesis. When these organisms die, their shells and coral fall to the ocean floor forming carbonate sediments over long periods. These sediments may later emerge as dry land or mountains made of limestone.
Global warming
This document discusses the regional impacts of global warming across various continents. Some key points include:
- In Europe, southern countries will experience extreme drought while northern areas enjoy more moderate climates. Heat waves and floods will cause damage to human life and economies. Agricultural production may rise due to higher CO2 levels.
- In Africa, droughts will devastate agriculture and reduce water levels in rivers and lakes. Coastal areas face threats from rising seas. Species loss is a major concern.
- Australia and Oceania will see changing ecosystems with drier conditions and more fires and cyclones. The Great Barrier Reef is threatened with higher temperatures. Low-lying Pacific islands are at risk from sea level rise.
Pollution
Air pollution from power plants and other sources is equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes per day for health risks, and contributes to thousands of preventable deaths annually in the US. Water pollution, largely from land-based activities, is a major problem affecting over half of the world's population with water-borne diseases and millions of deaths each year. Plastic waste and oil spills also severely impact marine wildlife and habitats.
We are damaging the ecosystem
Forest fires can kill or displace living things and increase greenhouse gases causing global warming. Housing developments and water pollution from factories or boats dumping chemicals can destroy ecosystems. Cutting down trees for wood, paper, or agriculture can cause erosion by removing plants that hold soil in place. We can prevent further damage by controlling fires, limiting housing growth, and making laws against pollution dumping to protect ecosystems.
Prezentcija engleski..(1)
The document discusses various causes and effects of air pollution. It notes that exhaust from cars and factories contributes to air pollution through smog, greenhouse gases, and acid rain. It also states that a refinery in Bosanski Brod and Sisak are major polluters, releasing sulfur dioxide into the air. The pollution destroys soil, pollutes water, and damages both animals and plants. Cutting down forests without replanting them can also increase soil erosion and disrupt natural balances.
Acid Rain
Acid rain is caused by air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels like coal. Gases from smokestacks and vehicle exhaust mix with water droplets in clouds to form acids that fall as rain, snow, or fog. While usually too weak to harm humans, acid rain harms the environment by damaging trees, aquatic life in lakes and streams, and historical buildings and statues over time. The main causes of acid rain in Europe are emissions from countries like Germany, the UK, Poland and Spain that can travel long distances on wind currents before falling as acid rain in other countries.

Reducing Embodied Carbon - COTE 3/8/2011
Reducing Embodied Carbon in the built environment will play an increasingly important role in reducing overall carbon emissions over the next 20 years. For buildings, the focus has mostly been on reducing emissions by reducing the use of fossil fuels for operating energy. But we also need to reduce the carbon emissions embodied in the materials and resulting from the construction phase. As buildings become more efficient to operate, the embodied energy and emissions from materials and construction becomes an increasingly significant portion of total GHG emissions.

Embodied Energy Saved In Converted Industrial Buildings
Rehabilitating old industrial buildings in Scotland saves embodied energy compared to demolishing them and building new structures. Existing buildings already have energy invested in their construction materials and can be adapted for new uses. Refurbishing buildings retains this embodied energy and avoids the energy costs of demolishing existing structures and bringing in new building materials. Whole life costing and life cycle assessments further demonstrate the energy savings of reusing and retrofitting historic buildings over new construction.

Ecocem green economyexpopresentation 20may-ver2a
This document discusses the significance of embodied carbon emissions in construction. It notes that embodied carbon accounts for 11% of global emissions and can be as high as 62% of a building's total lifetime emissions. While the SEAI's strategy has focused on reducing operational emissions, the document argues that embodied emissions should be part of the current 5-year strategy. Concrete contributes substantially to embodied emissions, and using GGBS cement can significantly reduce a home's embodied carbon footprint. Increasing GGBS usage represents an opportunity to cost-effectively abate up to 600,000 tons of emissions annually in Ireland. Green procurement policies and building standards that consider both operational and embodied emissions are needed to realize this opportunity.
Why Compressed Earth Blocks - by Dwell Earth
Compressed Earth Blocks, often referred to as (CEB) or Earth Blocks, are a pretty amazing building material. Here is a quick look at how amazing this natural building method really is.
Since the beginning of time people have been using the earth for building. Jericho, the earliest city recorded in history, was built of earth. Throughout history earth construction can be seen worldwide. The Egyptians, Mayan, Inca, Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and other European civilizations have long histories of earthen construction.
Compressed Earth Blocks make a healthier home which has the lowest embodied energy and CO2 footprint of any building material while also creating a building that is 80% more energy efficient to operate.
Compressed Earth Blocks are:
- Economical Natural Building Solution
- Fire Proof

Human impact on environment
Human activities like deforestation, overpopulation, waste production, pollution and overuse of natural resources are negatively impacting the environment. Key factors of environmental degradation include deforestation for fuel, livestock or commodities which removes forests; overpopulation exceeding the carrying capacity of regions; and waste such as household trash, hazardous, medical and industrial waste. Pollution from fossil fuel use and agriculture introduces harmful substances into the air, water and land. Energy production from sources like coal mining, oil drilling and reservoirs also damages the environment, as does over-extraction of natural resources through mining, fishing and logging without concern for conservation and sustainability.

Out of these materials, Roofing material constitute one of the major energy consuming components of the building. Effective utilization of available energy and its conservation is global challenge. For a developing country like India, the increasing demand of energy has created a scope for the study embodied energy of alternative roofing technique and their advantages for the sustainable building construction. The total embodied energy of a building can be reduced significantly by using alternate roofing technique such as RCC Filler slab which has lower embodied energy value.
Filler slab technology is a simple and a very innovative technology for a slab construction. The filler slab is based on the principle that for roofs which are simply supported, the upper part of the slab is subjected to compressive forces and the lower part of the slab experience tensile forces. Concrete is very good in withstanding compressive forces and steel bears the load due to tensile forces. Thus the lower tensile region of the slab does not need any concrete except for holding the steel reinforcements together. Hence concrete in the bottom region of solid RCC slab is replaced by an energy efficient and cost effective material. With reduced consumption of building material for roofing, the cost of the building can be reduced predominantly.

Marine pollution
Marine pollution comes from various land-based and sea-based sources and can take many forms. The main types of pollution discussed are oil, eutrophication, metals, halogenated hydrocarbons, thermal, radioactive, and litter/plastics. Oil pollution primarily comes from tanker accidents and operations while eutrophication results from nutrient runoff from agriculture and sewage. Metals and chemicals can accumulate in organisms and biomagnify up the food chain. Thermal and radioactive pollution impact ecosystems through temperature changes and radioactivity. Litter, especially plastics, injures and kills marine life and enters the food web. Reducing inputs and treating wastes are important to solving marine pollution.
Marine pollution
1. Marine pollution is defined as the introduction of substances or energy by humans that results in harm to living resources, hazards to human health, hindrance to marine activities, and reduced water quality and amenities.
2. Sources of marine pollution include land-based runoff containing agricultural, industrial and municipal wastes as well as sea-based activities like offshore oil drilling, dumping and ship pollution.
3. Major types of marine pollution are oil, eutrophication, metals, halogenated hydrocarbons, thermal, radioactive and litter which can have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems, human health and economies through effects like toxicity, anoxia, bioaccumulation and damage to fisheries.
Effects of aquatic species
Water pollution from industrial chemicals, agricultural pesticides, litter, and oil spills kills aquatic life by poisoning or suffocating fish, birds, dolphins and other animals. Untreated industrial waste discharged into water bodies causes algal blooms, decreased oxygen levels, and massive mortality of fish and other organisms. Pollutants from industries like textiles, paper manufacturing, oil refining and metal production contain heavy metals, acids, cyanide and other toxic chemicals that affect the biological growth and reproduction of aquatic life and can lead to extinction of some species. Proper treatment of industrial effluents before discharge and use of low-waste technologies can reduce water pollution and its effects on aquatic ecosystems and human and animal health.
Water pollution causes and effects
Water pollution occurs through various human activities such as dumping sewage and industrial waste, littering, oil spills, agricultural runoff, and groundwater contamination. These pollutants contaminate water supplies by releasing chemicals, debris, excess nutrients and other materials. As a result, aquatic life is disrupted due to low oxygen levels, suffocation, or toxicity which upsets the natural ecological balance of rivers, lakes and oceans. Water pollution also causes increased algae growth, soil erosion, flooding and animal deaths.

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.

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.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

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.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
