Chapter 26 Disaster Prepardness
This document provides information on how to prepare for and respond to different types of disasters including earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, wildfires, winter storms, hazardous materials incidents, terrorism, and nuclear/radiological events. It outlines key actions such as evacuating if warned, sheltering in place, protecting yourself from elements, following emergency instructions and aid, and knowing emergency plans for different scenarios. The goal is to keep people safe through informed preparation and response.
Weather Safety
1) Tornadoes are fast spinning tubes of air that can reach speeds of 200 mph and cause severe damage, while thunderstorms produce loud rain and wind and can spawn tornadoes.
2) It is important to take shelter during severe weather by going to the lowest level of a building and covering your head, and to prepare an emergency kit with supplies.
3) Hurricanes are large storms that form over warm ocean waters and can last for a week, causing flooding and high winds that often prove deadly, so evacuating when instructed is crucial for safety.
Weather Safety
Tornadoes form from spinning air tubes that can reach 200 mph winds and move as fast as cars, though they are small and short-lived. During storms, stay low and cover your head in the center of the house, like in a closet, bathroom, or under stairs. Thunderstorms are large rainstorms with lightning and thunder; during one, do not bathe, be outside, or touch electrical outlets. Hurricanes can last a week with 100 mph winds; evacuate if one is coming with an emergency kit of food, water, radio, first aid supplies, blankets, money, good shoes, and a full gas tank.

9/15/11 and 9/16/11
The document discusses how continental drift occurs through convection currents in the Earth's mantle. Heat from the core causes convection currents which move the tectonic plates comprising the lithosphere. The rigid plates move apart due to convection in the asthenosphere, which is the soft layer below the lithosphere. As the tectonic plates move on top of the asthenosphere driven by convection currents, this causes the continents to gradually separate from each other over long periods of time.

Evidence of plate tectonics
The document provides evidence that supports the theory of plate tectonics. It describes how the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea hundreds of millions of years ago. It presents fossils of the same species found on different continents separated by oceans, indicating the landmasses were once closer. Additionally, fossils of tropical plants have been found in arctic areas and signs of past glaciation have been discovered in currently warm climates of places like South Africa. The magnetic properties of rocks also show that continents have moved over time.
The Theory of Pangaea by: Rebecca
The document summarizes Alfred Wegener's theory of Pangaea from 1910, which proposed that all the continents were originally joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. It describes how Pangaea broke apart over millions of years, drifting the continents to their current locations. Fossil, geological, and geographical evidence from matching coastlines, mountain ranges, and glacial deposits on different continents supported the theory that they were once joined.
Pangea
The document discusses Alfred Wegener's theory of continental drift from 1912. It explains that Wegener noticed that fossils found in South America were identical to those found in Africa and proposed that the continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangea. The theory described the continents gradually drifting apart over millions of years due to plate tectonics.

Mendel and punnett squares
Mendel studied inherited traits in pea plants through controlled breeding experiments in the mid-1800s. He discovered that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete factors that he called genes. His experiments demonstrated that genes come in different versions called alleles that are separated during gamete formation and transmitted independently of one another based on simple mathematical probabilities seen in his Punnett square diagrams. Mendel was thus able to deduce the basic principles of heredity and inheritance that became the foundation of modern genetics.
Immune system
The immune system protects the body from pathogens and cancer cells. It contains nonspecific defenses that provide immediate protection and specific defenses that adapt over time. Nonspecific defenses include physical barriers and inflammatory responses, while specific defenses recognize and remember pathogens through B cells, T cells, antibodies, and memory cells. The document defines and compares these defenses.

This document provides an overview of mutations, which are heritable changes in genetic information that occur due to mistakes during DNA replication. There are two main types of mutations: gene mutations, which affect a single gene, and chromosomal mutations, which involve changes to whole chromosomes. Gene mutations include point mutations like substitutions, insertions, and deletions. Chromosomal mutations involve changes in chromosome number or structure. Mutations can have a variety of effects on genes and organisms, with some being harmful by disrupting gene function and others being beneficial by allowing organisms to adapt to new environments. Factors like environmental stressors and mutagenic chemicals can increase mutation rates.
Variables and control
This document defines and provides examples of independent and dependent variables in experiments. It explains that the independent variable is intentionally varied by the researcher, while the dependent variable may change as a result. Examples are given where heights, forces, and pressure are independent variables affecting number of broken eggs, speed, and volume respectively. The document also defines the control group as the standard of comparison that experiences the same conditions except for the variable being tested.

This document provides an overview of infectious diseases. It discusses that infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Landmark scientists like Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch established the germ theory of disease. Koch's postulates provide guidelines for identifying the microorganisms that cause specific diseases. While most microorganisms in the body are harmless symbionts, pathogens cause issues by destroying cells or releasing toxins. Infectious diseases spread through various methods like coughing/sneezing, physical contact, exchange of body fluids, contaminated water/food, or transmission from animals.

This document discusses biodiversity and its importance. It defines biodiversity as the total genetic variation among all living organisms, including ecosystem diversity, species diversity, and genetic diversity. Biodiversity provides value through contributions to medicine, agriculture, and ecosystem services. However, human activities like habitat loss, overhunting, invasive species, pollution, and climate change threaten biodiversity by reducing species and genetic diversity. Conservation efforts aim to protect individual species through breeding programs, preserve habitats through protected areas like parks and reserves, and consider local human interests by providing incentives for conservation.

This document provides an overview of a lesson about sustainably using resources. It discusses soil resources and the importance of topsoil, describing how the Dust Bowl was caused by unsustainable farming practices that depleted topsoil. It also discusses freshwater resources, pollution sources like industrial chemicals and sewage, and ways to protect water quality. Finally, it covers atmospheric resources and air pollution like smog, acid rain, and greenhouse gases, noting some regulatory efforts that have led to improved air quality over time.

The document discusses how human activity has affected Hawaii's landscape over time. When Polynesian settlers first arrived in Hawaii around 1600 years ago, they introduced invasive plants and animals and cleared land for farms, driving many native species extinct. More recently, beginning in the late 1700s, new waves of settlers cleared vast tracts of forest for sugar cane, pineapple, and other crops, requiring large amounts of water. They also converted land for housing and tourism. This growing population did not adequately manage natural resources, showing the problems that can occur when human demands exceed the local environment's capacity to provide resources.

This document discusses limiting factors that control population growth. It describes density-dependent factors like competition, predation, and disease, which become more influential at higher population densities. Density-independent factors like weather events can affect populations regardless of density. Both factor types, alone or combined, determine an environment's carrying capacity. The document uses examples like moose-wolf populations on Isle Royale and invasive hydrilla to illustrate these limiting concepts.

This document provides an overview of how populations grow. It begins by describing two examples of population changes - the exponential growth of hydrilla in Florida and the decline of cod populations in New England. It then defines key population concepts like geographic range, density, distribution, growth rate, and age structure that ecologists use to study populations. The document explains that populations can grow exponentially in ideal conditions with unlimited resources, but natural populations experience logistic growth as resource limitations or other factors slow and eventually stop growth. Logistic growth results in populations leveling off at the carrying capacity of their environment.

1) Ecological succession is the process by which the species in a community change over time following a disturbance.
2) Primary succession occurs in areas without previous communities, like after volcanic eruptions, while secondary succession follows less severe disturbances where soil remains.
3) Early pioneer species like lichens and grasses establish first, gradually changing the environment and allowing more species to colonize over time.

Climate is defined by long-term patterns of temperature and precipitation for a region, whereas weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions. Many factors influence global climate, including solar energy absorbed and radiated by the biosphere, latitude, and heat transport by winds and ocean currents. Solar energy is most intense at the equator, creating tropical climates, while polar regions receive less intense solar energy due to Earth's tilt, resulting in polar climates. Winds and ocean currents transport heat from warm to cool areas, affecting regional weather and climates.
B10vrv2042
The document provides an overview of niches and community interactions in ecology. It defines a niche as the range of conditions where a species lives and obtains resources to survive and reproduce. It describes how species' tolerance ranges and competition over resources shape niches and communities. Predation, herbivory, and keystone species also influence community structure by regulating prey and plant populations. Finally, it outlines the three main types of symbiotic relationships between species: mutualism, parasitism, and commensalism.

1) Matter cycles through biogeochemical cycles within and between ecosystems, powered by the flow of energy. Elements are recycled through biological, geological, and chemical processes and are never created or destroyed.
2) The key biogeochemical cycles that sustain life are the water, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus cycles. Water cycles through evaporation and precipitation between the atmosphere, land, and oceans. Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycle between organisms and the environment through photosynthesis, respiration, and decomposition.
3) Nutrient availability can limit an ecosystem's primary productivity if one nutrient such as nitrogen or phosphorus is in short supply. Fertilizers are used to increase nutrient levels and crop yields in

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
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.
