The soft, golden colored and delicate cigar-like rolls of Ceylon Cinnamon has long been an essential part of world cuisine and herbal medication yet claims its' origin to the humble cinnamon groves in the Western coast of Sri Lanka. The crop now grows in South America and the West Indies, Seychelles, and Reunion. The best quality cinnamon is produced in Sri Lanka.
Production
The bushes grow well in shaded places with an average rainfall and without extremes of temperature. The optimum temperature for production is between 27 and 30°C. The soil should not be waterlogged as this produces a bitter-tasting bark. Eight or tenside branches grow on the bush and these are harvested after about three years to obtain the cinnamon bark.
Harvesting
Cinnamon bark is harvested twice a year immediately after each of the rainy seasons when the humidity makes the bark peel more easily. The trees are first harvested when they are three years old, one year after pruning. The side stems that are about three years old are removed and the bark is stripped off. Cinnamon bark is only obtained from stems that are between 1.2 and 5cm in diameter.
Processing
Processing accounts for about 60% of the cost of production of cinnamon. This is because the peeling of bark from the stems is labour intensive and is usually done by hand, by skilled peelers. The quality of cinnamon depends on how well the bark is removed from the stems
Drying
The compound quills are placed on coir rope racks and dried in the shade to prevent warping. After four or five days of drying, the quills are rolled on a board to tighten the filling and then placed in subdued sunlight for further drying.
Grading
quality of cinnamon is judged by the thickness of the bark, the appearance (broken or entire quills) and the aroma and flavour.
Packaging
Cinnamon quills are cut into pieces up to 10cm in length and packed into moisture-proof polypropylene bags for sale. The bags should be sealed to prevent moisture from entering. Sealing machines can be used to seal the bags. Attractive labels should be applied to the products.
Storage
Dried cinnamon quills must be stored in moisture-proof containers away from direct sunlight. The stored cinnamon quills should be inspected regularly for signs of spoilage or moisture. If they have absorbed moisture, they should be re-dried to a moisture content of 10%.

Tunnel farming in Pakistan , tunnel types and challenges .ZainabBatool24
Tunnel farming, also known as polytunnel farming or hoop house farming, is an innovative and controlled environment agricultural technique designed to optimize crop production. This method involves the use of covered structures, typically made of polyethylene or similar materials, to create a semi-closed and protected environment for crops. These structures are often arched or semi-circular, resembling tunnels, hence the name "tunnel farming."
Tunnel farming has gained popularity worldwide as a solution to challenges posed by unpredictable weather patterns and the need for sustainable and efficient agricultural practices. It empowers farmers to enhance crop production, improve crop quality, and achieve greater economic sustainability in the face of evolving agricultural demands.

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.

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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Innovations in temporary storage of food grains
1. Innovations in Temporary Storage of
Food Grains
Dr. R.T. Patil
Former Director, CIPHET, Ludhiana
Chairman & ED, Benevole for PHT,
Bhopal
2. Temporary Grain Storage in India
•FCI and state agencies stored 23.08 lakh
tonnes and 144.97 lakh tonnes, respectively in
2010 and the damaged grain in CAP was 716
metric tonne in 2010
•Storage gap (deficit) to the tune of 12-14
MMT.
•The efficient alternative to CAP is necessary
to meet the growing demand for storage and
reduction of storage losses
3. Grain Quality in Storage
•Optimum storage conditions-moisture less than
12% and temperature less than 30°C will not
deteriorate quality during storage over a season.
Problems due to Higher temperatures:
1) Development of hot-spots,
2) Moisture migration from warmer to cooler grain
causing caking,
3) Mould development in over-moist grain
4) Decrease in seed germination
5) Decrease in malting quality of barley,
6) Decrease in baking and milling quality of wheat,
7) Colour deterioration of pulses and
8) Rancidity in oilseeds
4. Conditions in Temporary Storage
•Grain entering a temporary storage structure should
be cool and dry.
•Temperatures of grain loads placed into storage
should be within 5 to 10°C of each other to prevent
moisture movement due to temperature gradients.
•The grain should be placed in the storage at less than
14% (w.b.) and preferably 13% for greater safety.
•The average moisture content of the pile should be
0.5 to 1% less than the safe storage moisture content.
•Grain of poor quality should be dried 1% more than
required for good quality grain.
5. Grain Aeration
•Aeration is necessary, if more than 50 MT grain is
stored for longer than 2 months.
•Aeration rates of at least 0.04 m3 per minute per MT
should be provided.
•Provide two or three smaller fans and ducts to obtain
proper air distribution in flat storage structures.
•Aeration ducts of 30 cm or larger dia. corrugated drain
pipes are used in temporary structures.
•The drainpipe is covered with cloth to prevent grain from
plugging the openings.
•The number of fans and aeration ducts depends on the
grain type and dimensions of the grain pile.
7. •In CAP 50 kg capacity jute bags
are used
•The most commonly
constructed size is for 1500
tonnes with 3000 bags of 50 kg
•CAP storage are with the length
and breadth of 8.55 and 6.30 m,
respectively.
•The sides and ridge heights are
4.50 and 6.00 m, respectively.
•Regular opening of covers is
necessary to allow some
aeration.
•The advantage of CAP is its low
establishment cost, which is only
25% the cost of godown storage
Cover and Plinth Storage
8. • Thermal model has been developed based
on solar energy for predicting the wheat grain
temperature while stored in CAP.
• The model showed around 10 to 12°C rise in
grain temperature from the mean monthly
ambient temperature during the year with
black cover.
• A white colour plastic cover simulated result
showed reduction in the grain temperature by
6-8oC compared to black sheet.
Effect of Color of Cover on Quality
9. Grain Storage Rings
•Corrugated galvanised
panels are rolled and
crimped on a line
•This deep corrugation
are made in 22 SWG.
•The industrial gasket is
also provided on the top
edge of the ring for the
entire diameter
protecting the tarp from
the sharp edges of the
steel panels.
10. Flexible silos
•Early types employed butyl rubber
sheeting as the membrane and had
capacities of up to 1,000 tonnes.
• Currently available silos use PVC-
coated polyester fabric & have 500 tonne
capacity.
•The silos require little site preparation,
are easy to erect and are relocatable.
•The silos require no mechanical
equipment
11. Underground storage of grain
•The pit is about one and
a half times the width of a
bulldozer blade, length as
per volume.
•The grain must be under
13 per cent moisture
content.
•Polythene sheeting is laid
across the ridged grain for
about 2 m either side of
the pit
•Soil cover of 30 - 100 cm
deep, sloping to ground
level is put on the pit
12. Prefabricated Relocatable
Warehouses
•It has tubular steel frame
covered by PVC-coated
polyester fabric tensioned
over the frame.
•The capacity of structures
varies from 50 to 3000
tonnes.
•Stores require minimal
foundations, and the
integral base frame can be
effectively anchored to the
ground
13. Cocoons
•These are tough but flexible
UV-resistant PVC enclosures
sealed with zip fasteners.
•Light in weight when empty
and can be delivered easily to
site.
•Capacity ranges from 5–50
tonnes.
•They prevent insect, water
and water vapour penetration
into the contents.
•The cocoons are modular,
fabricated in 5, 10, 20 and 50
tonnes capacity.
14. Airwarehouses
•Airwarehouses are kept erect by pressure of
forced ventilation.
•Once erected and working satisfactorily, bagged
produce can be moved in and out of the buildings
easily.
•Each warehouse typically has a capacity of 2000–
5000 tonnes.
•Constant flow of air keeps the interior free of
condensation and moisture and the structure's
coated fabric provides protection from ultraviolet
radiation.
•Constant power supply is necessary to keep the
structure inflated and erect.
15. Flat Grain Storage
•These are modular flat grain storage bunkers.
•These grain bunkers come in up to 5 million
bushels capacity and are very economical for
storage of corn, wheat, canola and other grains.
•Precast exterior concrete walls are erected
from 1.5 m to 6.5 m height.
•The optional aeration system having Z shaped
tubes is connected through the wall flushed with
the floor.
16. Large Plastic Membrane Bags
•The system is very cost
competitive in
comparison to other
storage options.
•This system of storage
offers a low investment
storage system that can
be quite effective on farm
in several scenarios.
• The polymer bag is
described as a hermetic
type of storage system.
17. Major Recommendations
•The color of the polyethylene used in
traditional CAP storage should be changed to
white.
•The prefabricated relocatable warehouses
may be installed on the railway platforms
where the grain need to kept for transit
•In grain mandies the harvest bags and rings
may be explored to avoid the damage to the
grain due to sudden rain during harvest
season.
•Investigations may be undertaken to test the
suitability of structures for Indian conditions
18. Modern Technologies for Food
Storage are essential for
reducing the post harvest
losses and increasing the
profitability of farmers
