Global Warming by Adriana Jiminez
Global warming is caused by humanity's overuse of energy from fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide and damages the ozone layer. Transportation like personal vehicles is a major polluter, with traffic emissions concentrated in cities. Solutions exist like Earth Hour and reducing energy use, but addressing global warming requires greater public acknowledgement of the existing problem.
global warming. ppt
Global warming is caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide released through human activities like pollution from factories, vehicles, and waste. This is creating problems worldwide like floods, earthquakes, and health issues. To address global warming, people must take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by limiting pollution and adopting more sustainable living.
OIL ENERGY
The document discusses oil energy, including the processes of exploring for oil, extracting it, refining it, and transporting it. It notes that oil is non-renewable and can contaminate the environment when used. While it provides fuel for machines, burning oil also produces dangerous gases and pollution that affects land, water, air, and wildlife. Oil is extracted both on land, using pumpjacks, and at sea, using offshore oil platforms.

This document provides an overview of navigating the global "safe operating space" with three key points:
1) It discusses five core sustainability principles and acknowledges the ecological, social, economic, and governance challenges of staying within planetary boundaries.
2) It notes the urgent issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, perturbed biogeochemical cycles, land use change, pollution, and their interacting effects that require addressing simultaneously.
3) It recognizes the need for new science-business-policy partnerships to help shift trajectories towards sustainability given the knowledge that exists around necessary actions like halting fossil fuel emissions and resource overuse.
The greenhouse effect
This document discusses the greenhouse effect and potential solutions. It begins by explaining that the greenhouse effect occurs when gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. It then lists the primary causes as the burning of fossil fuels from vehicles and industry, overpopulation leading to more pollution, and deforestation. Some temporary solutions proposed include recycling to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, using energy efficient appliances and lights, and raising awareness through signs and social media. The overall goal is to decrease the greenhouse effect's harmful impacts.
Social Impact of Technology Powerpoint - Michael Westlake -
The document discusses the risks to the planet from increasing technology use. As more technology is made, transported, and used every day, resources are depleted and waste piles up with no plan to dispose of it safely. Vehicles in particular contribute greatly to pollution through emissions. The greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere, melting ice and threatening water supplies as technology use continues to grow unsustainably. The life of the planet is at risk unless steps are taken to protect it from the pollution caused by ubiquitous technology.
Executive summary
The document discusses global warming and the efforts of countries around the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It notes that while some countries agree that greenhouse gases are a problem, others are less concerned or refuse to join global efforts to reduce them. The document specifically focuses on how capturing and utilizing the methane and other gases produced by decaying waste in landfills could significantly reduce global gas emissions and addresses three major problems facing many countries by converting waste into power or fuel while also creating jobs.

Catalogo Pneus Inglese
Get Energy Prime Italia was founded in 1996 to research and develop new energy sources. It has built a plant called Pneus Gineo to process waste tires through pyrolysis. This produces char, liquid, and gas byproducts while addressing the environmental issues of accumulating tire waste. The plant demonstrates an economically viable way to treat tire waste as a resource rather than waste by converting it into useful products and energy through pyrolysis instead of other methods like uncontrolled burning or landfilling.
Environmental issues
Germany faces significant environmental issues from air pollution and acid rain. Major sources of air pollution in Germany are coal-burning factories and vehicle emissions in large cities. This pollution contributes to acid rain when sulfur and nitrogen oxides react in the atmosphere to form acids. Acid rain has severely damaged forests, especially the Black Forest, harming Germany's timber economy. While Western European countries have enacted policies to reduce pollution, Germany and other Eastern European countries need to further develop renewable energy and implement more stringent environmental protection policies.
Catalogo def per sito get energy eng
The Pneus GINEO is a plant designed and built to process, via pyrolysis, granular material obtained from the treatment of End of Life Tires. “Pyrolysis” is a process which induces thermal degradation (depolymerisation) of organic compounds in presence of heat and absence of oxygen.
Therefore there is no combustion. Granular rubber, obtained from End of Life Tires, is introduced by a conveyor belt in the loading hopper that will transfer it in the pyrolysis reactor after a pre-heating step.
The reactor is equipped with a motorized mixer that ensures that the heating of the granular rubber, by electronically programmed inductors, is accurate.
The granular product, once introduced in the reactor with a variable temperature. Will generate gas and char. Following the process of pyrolysis, the char is continuously discharged from a reactor nozzle and transferred under forced cooling to dedicated containers
While the gas of pyrolysis is introduced in air cooled heat exchangers where the condensed liquid phases are collected The heat exchangers condensing the gas of pyrolysis are equipped with ambient air cooled fins and are built in sections to allow an optimized fractioned condensation.
The liquid phase, following its transfer into collecting tanks, will undergo a 12 micron filtration to remove suspended solid The condensed phase (organic oils of different composition in the various stages) is collected in settling tanks
While the remaining gaseous phase is introduced in a water filled tank to be washed before being sent to energy generators
The generator group is modified to accept, as fuel, both liquid and gaseous phase generated by the pyrolysis
The generators are equipped with a catalyst that enables the conformance to environmental emission limits
All the components of the Pneus Gineo equipment are fabricated with special stainless steels
The operation of the system is controlled via a programmed electronic device
The design, fabrication and operation of the plant are in conformance with the EU regulations
An Introduction to Environmental Issues.pdf
Global warming, also known as the greenhouse effect, immediately received international attention as scientists, environmentalists, and governments took interest in the subject. The greenhouse effect is called such because gases gathering above the earth are trapping heat near the surface and warming the planet, threatening the environment. Global warming has numerous causes including overpopulation and its effects as well as countless human activities that release greenhouse gases. The climate changes and effects of global warming, such as rising sea levels, are extremely difficult to predict but could potentially be catastrophic. Various policies aim to reduce emissions and encourage environmentally friendly actions to address global warming.

Europe Environmental Issues
The major environmental concerns in Europe are air pollution, acid rain, and nuclear disasters. Air pollution is caused by vehicle emissions and factories throughout large cities like London and Berlin. Acid rain is worst in Germany due to coal burning factories and vehicle emissions. In 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine spread radiation across Europe after a power plant explosion, forcing mass evacuations. European governments and the European Union are working to address these issues through new technologies, alternative fuels, and environmental policies.

Global warming, also known as the greenhouse effect, received international attention from scientists, environmentalists, and governments around the world. It is caused by gases trapping heat near the earth's surface, warming the planet and threatening the environment.
Many factors contribute to global warming, including overpopulation, industrialization, transportation, and other human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. If temperatures rise significantly, some of the polar ice caps will melt, raising global sea levels and potentially flooding coastlines.
Uncontrolled global warming could cause a major catastrophe by displacing millions of people and ruining croplands with rising seas. It may also cause some low-lying island countries to

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

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:
