Nearby attractions that could draw visitors include the airport, which saw over 3.3 million travelers in 2014; the Fair and Exposition Center, the 6th largest in the US; and Churchill Downs horse racing track. The proposed development plans include mixed commercial and residential uses with open space across 52 acres.
IHA Congress 2011 - Special Presentation - Eletrobras (English)
The document outlines key details about the Belo Monte hydroelectric powerplant project in Pará State, Brazil. It shows the location of the dam and power buildings on the Xingu River and describes how the dam will flood areas of rainforest to form a reservoir. It also indicates that new conservation areas will be established and notes how the project will impact urban and indigenous communities in the region.
Introduction of engineering geology
This document discusses key aspects of engineering geology and its importance in modern development. It provides examples of how poor subsurface conditions, lack of safety measures, and lack of studies can lead to infrastructure failures. It emphasizes the role of engineering geology in properly studying soil and subsurface conditions before construction to select the best design and safety remedies. Methods discussed include field and laboratory investigations to understand rock quality and recommend appropriate structural support.
Engineering Geology (Civil Engineering Applications)
This document discusses the important geological factors to consider when selecting sites for dams and reservoirs. Narrow river valleys, shallow bedrock, and competent bedrock foundations are desirable for reducing dam construction costs. Sedimentary rocks like sandstone and limestone can cause water leakage from reservoirs depending on their porosity. Metamorphic rocks like gneiss and quartzite are generally impermeable. Geological structures must also be considered, with horizontal or tilted strata being most suitable and faults or intense fracturing making a site undesirable. The document outlines these considerations in detail.
Assembly runner francis with LaserTracker
The document describes a process for fitting and inspecting runner hydro Francis blades and fittings weighing 320 tons for the Belo Monte Project using a laser tracker. Key steps include: creating a 3D software model of the blade positions to mark on the crown; aligning the crown with the model to mark points ensuring proper blade positioning; identifying points to ease assembly; developing and executing a program concept with operators; and assembling while adjusting to ensure fast, easy, and reliable installation verified by a final report without need for templates or double checking before welding.

Challenges in Tracking International Cooperation Resources for Climate and Biodiversity, Mr. Jorge Iván Escalante Castellanos, Presidential Agency for International Co-operation, Colombia240423_presentation-green.pdf
The document discusses challenges for Ukraine's green reconstruction efforts following widespread damage from the war. It notes that total damage and losses amount to USD 425 billion, with reconstruction needs of USD 411 billion across many sectors. Housing, transport, and commerce/industry have the highest needs. Financing so far only covers a portion of immediate needs through 2023. Key challenges on local levels include limited capacity, financial resources, expertise, and clarity on what constitutes "green". Cooperation with EU cities and capacity building initiatives could help address some challenges in prioritizing a resilient and sustainable recovery that balances urgent and long-term needs. In the energy sector specifically, local authorities lack data and legal frameworks have not fully decentralized, while households have little access

The role of TEEB in assessing the socio-economic benefits of protected areas
This document summarizes a presentation about the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) approach to assessing the socio-economic benefits of protected areas. TEEB aims to recognize, demonstrate, and capture the values of nature. It uses both monetary and non-monetary valuation methods to assess a wide range of benefits from protected areas, including market goods, carbon storage, water purification, and qualitative benefits. Assessments can be used to raise awareness, inform management decisions, ensure equitable distribution of benefits, and mobilize funding for protected areas. Examples from Costa Rica, Uganda, France, and other countries illustrate how assessments have influenced policies and outcomes.

SESSION 7: Incorporating sustainability into business practice
The expectations on organisations involved in hydropower have increased dramatically, both at the corporate and project levels. The scope of accountability has grown from the technical, legal, financial and regulatory, to broader developmental responsibilities and greater disclosure. It is a strategic challenge to adjust business and information systems to incorporate sustainability into assessment, planning, operations, reporting and reviewing. An international panel will discuss this challenge from a range of perspectives.

SESSION 7: Incorporating sustainability into business practice
The expectations on organisations involved in hydropower have increased
dramatically, both at the corporate and project levels. The scope of accountability
has grown from the technical, legal, financial and regulatory, to broader
developmental responsibilities and greater disclosure. It is a strategic challenge
to adjust business and information systems to incorporate sustainability into
assessment, planning, operations, reporting and reviewing. An international panel
will discuss this challenge from a range of perspectives.

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.

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).
