The document describes a floatable foundation made of recyclable materials that could be used to support dwellings in flood-prone areas. The foundation is made of 14 plastic bottles, a pallet, and rope. It functions by displacing its own weight in water through buoyancy provided by the air in the bottles and spaces in the pallet frame. Calculations show the prototype foundation could support over 100 pounds, enough for a small structure. The design aims to provide housing in areas like parts of South Africa that commonly experience flooding.

2.3 A feeling for the numbers: microbes as the unseen majority
(a) Use Figure 2.1 to justify the assumption that a typical bacterial cell (that
is, E. coli) has a surface area of 6µm2 and a volume of 1µm3. Also, express
this volume in femtoliters. Make a corresponding estimate of the mass of such
a bacterium.
(b) Roughly 2–3 kg of bacteria are harbored in your large intestine. Make an
estimate of the total number of bacteria inhabiting your intestine. Estimate
the total number of human cells in your body and compare the two figures.
(c) The claim is made (see Whitman et al., 1998) that in the top 200m of
the world’s oceans, there are roughly 1028 prokaryotes. Work out the total
volume taken up by these cells in m3 and km3. Compute their mean spacing.
How many such cells are there per milliliter of ocean water?
(a) E. coli has (roughly) the shape of a cylinder that is 2 µm in length and 0.5 µm
in radius. For those that are so inclined, the bacterium can alternatively be
treated as a spherocylinder, though the results will not change in any interesting
way. Using these numbers we calculate the area of an E. coli to be:
Acell = ⇡ ⇥ 1 µm⇥ 2 µm ⇡ 6 µm2. (2.28)
Its volume is:
Vcell = ⇡ ⇥

If we assume that the density of a bacterium is the same as that of water, the
mass of one bacterium is 103kg/m3 ⇥ 10�18 m3 ⇡ 10�15 kg = 1 pg.
(b) The fact that each bacterium has a mass of 1 pg implies that 2�3 kg worth
of bacteria in the intestines of one person amounts to 2 ⇠ 3⇥ 1015 bacteria.
Assume that the size of a typical human cell is roughly 10 µm in diameter and
has a spherical shape with the same density as that of water. Let’s assume that
the mass of a “typical” human body is roughly 80 kg. Further, let’s assume
that thirty percent of the human mass corresponds to cells. On the basis of
these assumptions, we find that the number of the cells in a human body is
approximately

By this estimate, the number of bacterial cells outnumbers the number of human
cells by more than a factor of ten.
(c) Using (a) we can estimate the volume of 1028 prokaryotes to be about

the mature virion in fig. 2.31(C) shows that the CA proteins come together to
form the capsid with inward pointing “spokes,” in the same way that the GAG
polyproteins form the initial outer shell of the virion. This means that CA and
GAG have the same surface areas per protein. Because the surface area of the
capsid is less than that of the virion and because each CA protein is cleaved o↵
a GAG polyprotein, this fact immediately implies that not all the CA proteins
can be used up to form the capsid.
From the micrographs, the capsid can be approximated as a cone with base
radius r = 25 nm and side length s = 1 ...

Compaction and Drain-ability
Compaction increases the density and engineering properties of soils through mechanical means. The standard Proctor test determines the optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of a soil through compacting specimens at different moisture contents and measuring their dry densities. Higher compactive effort through modified Proctor testing results in higher densities. Well-compacted soils have increased shear strength and reduced compressibility, permeability, and liquefaction potential. Laboratory compaction curves may differ from field compaction due to degradation and replacement of oversized particles in the lab. The structure and properties of compacted fine-grained soils, like permeability and compressibility, depend on the compactive effort and proximity to the optimum moisture content.

The document also covers density, pressure, Pascal's principle, Archimedes' principle, and provides examples of calculating density, pressure, buoyant force, and more.
Blue planet lrg
This document summarizes why Earth is called the "Blue Planet". It states that water covers over 70% of Earth's surface, with oceans accounting for 361.8 million km2, making Earth appear blue from space. Water absorbs red light much more than blue light, and the scattering of blue light over red contributes to the blue color of oceans, lakes and rivers when viewed from above. The document also notes that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms and can exist as a liquid on Earth between 0-100 degrees Celsius.
Reduce Evaporation Losses from Water Reservoirs
Evaporation suppression is the reduction of evaporation bycontrolling the rate at which water vapor escapes from water surfaces. The need for water saving is greatest in areas of little rainfall and low runoff. Water losses by evaporation from storage reservoirs must be minimized for greatest utility of limitedsupplies. Using trash of polyethylene with different densities (800, 875 and 900 kg/m3) as floating cover to the water filling cylindrical container with 8 cm diameter led to reduce the evaporation rate. A suitable trash density of 800 kg/m3 gave reduction in evaporation rate of 57% from the theoretical results calculated using equation (4) which is a good result if compared with previous researches

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
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.

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
