Environmental risk assessment of Macabalan creek water in Cagayan de Oro, Phi...Innspub Net
Creek water carries both domestic and commercial wastewater consequently draining organic and inorganic pollutants to coastal water. The present study dealt on the environmental risk assessment of creek water stretching in Macabalan-Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. Selected physicochemical analyses of water samples were carried in both temporal and spatial variations. Risk quotient (RQ), water quality index (WQI), and brine shrimp lethality test (BSL) was employed to draw environmental risk estimate. Overall, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations were below the standard set regardless of temporal and spatial variations. Both RQ and WQI showed good statuses on creek water quality despite the low DO. The BSLT similarly indicated a higher concentration for LC50 to be established. The study was preliminary and further monitoring may be essential.

Rehabilitation and Repair of Sanitary Sewer Collection SystemsZachary Collins
Collection Systems are a critical part of Wastewater Infrastructure. The conveyance of sanitary sewer to the treatment plant must be completed efficiently and with no damage to property and the environment in general. Much of our existing pipelines, manholes, and lift stations were constructed many years ago and are starting to reach the end of their life cycle. This presentation covers only assessment, rehabilitation, and repair methods for gravity sewer systems. It was a 30 minute presetnation that I gave at an RMSAWWA/RMWEA PWO Seminar and consists of mostly pictures.
This document discusses sustainable practices in upstream catchments from the perspective of an economic regulator. It notes that catchment management is catching on due to its low cost and pollution control benefits. However, evidence and delivery of projects have gaps, including a lack of prioritization, coordination, and alignment between organizations. The next steps mentioned include developing a baseline of best practices, examples of sector accountability, and balancing voluntary and incentive-based approaches.
The document summarizes a student project called Water Cops PR CL that aims to study local watersheds. The project involves students using tools like Vernier LabQuest sensors to measure water quality parameters like turbidity, conductivity, alkalinity, pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen at sites along the Rio Piedras river. Students will analyze their findings, produce written articles and maps using software, and investigate how human activities impact watershed hydrology and land usage affects plant and animal communities near the river. They will assess water quality through physical, chemical and biological measurements and evaluations.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
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:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
