This document discusses evolution and the taxonomy of living things. It defines evolution as any heritable change in a population over generations. It describes how Charles Darwin theorized that all life evolved from a common ancestor and became more complex over time. It then explains taxonomy as the classification of living things in a hierarchy of domains, kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera and species based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships. The document outlines the key evidence for evolution such as fossils, selective breeding, and homologous structures. It also identifies the agents that drive evolutionary change as mutations, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.
Natural selection is the gradual, non-random process by which biological traits become either more or less common in a population as a function of differential reproduction of their bearers. It is a key mechanism of evolution. The term "natural selection" was popularized by Charles Darwin who intended it to be compared with artificial selection, what we now call selective breeding.
its deals with the general basic ideas of gene and evolutions.different types of examples are used to explain the gene and evolutions.the origin of basic genetics and their ideas are also formulated in this presentation

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
3. Any change in the
heritable traits within a
population across a
generation.
For example spots on the wings of a
butterfly,
Fur colour in mice, or
4. How did living things
evolved? Charles Darwin
theorized that all
life came from a
common ancestor
like a single celled
organism. As time
went on, life forms
became more
complex and
diverse.
5. Origin of the first cell(s).
Scientist believed that a chemical
evolution may have produced the
first cell. First, inorganic chemicals
reacted to produce small organic
molecules, which polymerized to
form macromolecules. With the
origination of the plasma
membrane, the first primitive cell
(a Protocell) evolved, and once this
could replicate, life began.
6. The Evolutionary Tree
Evolutionary tree is a branching
diagram or tree showing the
inferred evolutionary relationships
among various biological species.
The branch tips represent existing
species. The branches connect the
common ancestor, and the nodes
depict where one species diverged
into two or more species.
7.
8. Evidence of Evolution
Fossils are the remains and traces of past
life or any other direct evidence of past
life. Most fossils consist only of hard parts of
organisms, such as shells, bones, or teeth,
because these are usually preserved after
death.
9. SELECTIVE BREEDING OF
DOMESTICATED ANIMALS
These domesticated breeds have
been developed from wild
species, by selecting individuals
with desirable traits, and breeding
from them.
12. Agents of evolutionary change
Because evolution is based on
changes in living organism that makes
them more complex and diverse,
scientists have discovered that there
are agents or factors that causes these
changes. These conditions are:
Mutations
Genetic Drift
Gene Flow and
Natural selection
13. Mutations are random alterations in
our genes, the result of genes
failing to copy themselves properly
or exposure to radiation or other
chemicals (called mutagens).
14. Genetic drift is a mechanism of
evolution that occurs by random
chance rather than natural
selection. In genetic drift, a
population experiences a change
in the frequency of a given allele,
prompted by random luck rather
than a need for adaptation
15. Gene flow is also called migration.
This is any movement of genes
from one population to another.
Gene flow includes lots of different
kinds of events, such as pollen
being blown to a new destination
or people moving to new cities or
countries.
16. Natural selection
Charles Darwin developed the theory that
evolution occurs as a result of natural
selection. It is the process by which some
individuals produce more offspring than
others. Hence to survive, it must compete for
food and a mate. The organisms that survive
is consider fit for the environment thus the
characteristics that helped this ‘fitness’ will
be more common in the next generation
than those of its less ‘fit’ relatives.
17. The Taxonomy of Living
Things
The taxonomy of living
things basically refers to
the classification of all
living things.
18. Why is it necessary to classify
living organism?
It helps to identify different
organisms and place them in
their particular group.
It helps us to study them more
easily and systematically.
19. It highlights the relationship
between different organism
The characteristics of all the
members of a group can be
studied by studying the
characteristics of a few
members only.
20. Types of Classification
system
There are two (2) types of
classification system.
Artificial System –this system of
classification is based on
comparison of one or a few
characteristics of a group. By this
classification, different organisms
could be grouped together.
21. The natural system
This system of classification is
based on comparison of many
characteristics of a group. It
takes into account many
characters such as external
structure, internal structure,
growth, development,
reproduction.
23. So what are domains?
“Domains” are the cell type that
an organism has. There are 3
domains:
Bacteria
Archaea
Eukaryote
24. Kingdoms
There are five
kingdoms:
Monera
Protists
Fungi
Plants
Animals
25. Group
Names
Humans House cat White oak Housefly
Domain Eukarya Eukarya Eukarya Eukarya
Kingdom Animalia Animalia Plant Animalia
Phylum Chordate Chordate Magnoliop
hyta
Arthropod
a
Class Mammal Mammal Magnoliopsi
da
Insect
Order Primates Carnivora Fagales Diptera
Family Hominidae Felidae Fagaceae Muscidae
Genus Homo Felis Quercus Musca
Species sapiens domestica Alba domestica
26. GENERAL PLAN OF CLASSIFICATION
All classifications involve systematic grouping of basic units.
• The basic unit of biological classification is species.
• A species refers to a group of organisms that closely resemble
each other and can reproduce among themselves.
• Similar species are grouped into a genus.
• Similar genera (plural of genus) are grouped into a family.
• Similar families are grouped into an order.
• Similar orders are grouped into a class.
• Similar classes are grouped into a phylum
27. Binomial Nomenclature
In binomial nomenclature, the name of an
organism is composed of two words in Latin. The
first word is the name of the genus and is called
the generic name. The second word refers to the
name of the species and is called the specific
name. The first letter of the generic name is
always written in capital letters whereas the first
letter of the specific name is written in small
letters. The scientific names are italicized in
printing and underlined while writing.
Example Homo sapiens
Musca domestica
