Particle Filter Localization for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Using Augmented Rea...Ed Kelley
This thesis proposes a system for capturing 3D models of large objects using autonomous quadcopters. A major component of such a system is accurately localizing the position and orientation, or pose, of the quadcopter in order to execute precise flight patterns. This thesis focuses on the design and implementation of a localization algorithm that uses a particle filter to combine internal sensor measurements and augmented reality tag detection in order to estimate the pose of an AR.Drone quadcopter. This system is shown to perform significantly better than integrated velocity measurements alone.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

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.

4. ABSTRACT
Patch clamp is a well-developed lelectrophysiological recording
technique used to study ion channel function and regulation. The
conventional method of performing patch clamp technique employs a glass
micropipette onto the cell by manual manipulation. Despite this technique
is extremely sensitive and information-rich, but requires a highly-skilled
operator and is limited in throughput. Voltage clamp that determine the
behavior of the ion channel conductances responsible for the generation of
the action potential is the another method to record the flow of ionic current
across the cell membrance. The method is held a constant membrane
potential while the ionic current flowing through the membrane is measured.
The thesis presents cell-platforms and etcing pores on silicon by using
soft lithography and etching technique insteading of conventional glass
micropipette recording method. we successfully demonstrated practicability
of the process by the cells adhered on the platform and the etching pores on
the silicon chip by using ICP. The less laborious manipulation time saving
and high sampling throughput will be expected .In the future, we can
automatically real time controlled and changed in response to the cell’s
physiologic characteristics measured by ionic channel activities.
