An ecosystem is a system made up of both living and nonliving parts that work together as a unit. Open systems receive inputs from outside the system, like a terrarium receiving energy from the sun. Very few systems are truly closed, as most receive inputs and produce outputs. An ecosystem contains populations of different species that live in a community and depend on each other to survive. Both living things like plants and animals, and nonliving things like sunlight, air, water and soil are important parts of an ecosystem.

Ecosystems
1) A system is a group of parts that work together as a unit, with most systems being open systems that take in inputs from outside and provide outputs.
2) An ecosystem is a system made up of living things like plants and animals and their nonliving environment. Within an ecosystem, a population is a group of the same species that lives in the same area, while a community includes all the populations in an area that depend on each other.
3) An organism's habitat is the environment that meets its needs, and its niche is its specific role within that habitat. As organisms fulfill their niches, they can impact both living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem.

Systems and models
1. Models are simplified representations of reality that can be used to understand and predict how systems respond to change. While easier to work with than real systems, models may lack accuracy and predictions can be inaccurate.
2. Systems are sets of interrelated parts that work together to form a complex whole. They can be living or non-living and exist on any scale. Systems are represented by storages, flows, inputs, outputs, boundaries, and processes that transfer matter and energy between storages.
3. There are three types of systems: open systems exchange both matter and energy, closed systems exchange only energy, and isolated systems exchange neither matter nor energy. Most living systems are open while global biogeochemical cycles
Climate
The document provides sample case study questions about climate, the environment, and people from past exam papers. The questions cover a range of topics including weather events caused by high and low pressure systems, the effects of people on ecosystems, different climate types and their impacts, unsustainable use of ecosystems, and a specific weather event caused by a low pressure system. Students are asked to choose locations and examples to write practice answers addressing how the various systems impact the environment and human activities.

Ecosystems maintain themselves through the cycling of energy and nutrients obtained from external sources like the sun. Primary producers like plants use photosynthesis to produce organic materials from solar energy, forming the base of the trophic structure. While primary producers absorb most energy from the sun, decomposers process large amounts of organic material and release more energy, making them more important than producers in terms of energy flow through the ecosystem.
Ess Topic 1 - Systems and Models
This document outlines concepts related to systems thinking from pages 69-90 of the IB ESS Course Companion. It defines key terms like systems, open and closed systems, feedback loops, and equilibria. It also explains how systems can be analyzed on different scales from cells to biomes to the whole Earth. The document provides examples and details about how systems thinking is applied in environmental science.

4.5 ecosystems notes
An ecosystem is composed of all living and non-living things in an environment. Within an ecosystem, a habitat is the area where a population, or group of the same organisms, lives, and a community contains all the populations that live in the same place. Organisms develop adaptations, which are structures or behaviors that help them survive in their surroundings, including physical adaptations like camouflage or mimicry and behavioral adaptations such as hibernation or migration.
1.3. Energy and equilibria
The document discusses key concepts related to energy, equilibria, and feedback mechanisms in ecological systems. It defines the first and second laws of thermodynamics, explaining that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but can be converted to different forms. Systems can exist in stable or unstable equilibria between which there are tipping points driven by positive and negative feedback loops. Positive feedback amplifies changes while negative feedback contributes to stability. Tipping points occur when small changes cause large effects and a shift to a new equilibrium state.
Relationships in ecosystems
Organisms in an ecosystem depend on one another through food chains and webs. Producers like plants generate their own food through photosynthesis. Decomposers break down dead matter. Consumers cannot produce their own food and include herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores. Food chains show the transfer of energy from producers to consumers. Multiple overlapping food chains form a food web. Predators hunt prey for food, with energy decreasing at each trophic level in the energy pyramid model.

Trophic Pyramids
Trophic levels refer to the feeding positions that organisms occupy in a food chain or web. Producers such as plants are at the first trophic level. Herbivores that eat plants are at the second level. Carnivores that eat herbivores are at the third level. Top carnivores at the fourth level obtain energy by preying on other carnivores. Energy availability decreases at higher trophic levels as the energy from lower levels is used for metabolism and growth rather than being fully transferred up the food chain.
Rate of-work
The document contains examples of rate of work problems. It shows how to calculate the time it will take two people working together to complete a task by using their individual unit rates. The first example calculates that it will take Marge and Lisa 1 7/8 hours to clean a house if it takes Marge 3 hours and Lisa 5 hours working alone. The second example finds it will take Bart and Homer 12 minutes to wash a car if it takes Bart 20 minutes and Homer 30 minutes alone.
1 discoveringnewtonslaws
Sir Isaac Newton discovered three laws of motion in the late 1600s that describe how objects move. The first law states that objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second law defines force as the product of an object's mass and acceleration. The third law explains that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. These laws describe the motion of all objects in everyday life.
Cmverbs
The document discusses transitive and intransitive verbs. A transitive verb is followed by a direct object answering what or whom, like "The pilot landed the airplane." An intransitive verb does not have a direct object and completes the action itself, like "The pilot landed carefully." The document provides examples of sentences with transitive and intransitive verbs to practice identifying which is which.
Geo vocabulary
Geometry is the study of shapes. It involves concepts like points, lines, rays, line segments, angles, and polygons. A point is an exact location, a line extends indefinitely in both directions, a ray has one endpoint and extends in one direction, and a line segment connects two endpoints. Angles are measured using degrees and can be acute, right, obtuse, or straight depending on their measurement. Polygons are closed shapes made of line segments, and their number of sides determines their name.
Order of operations
Order of operations provides a standard method for simplifying mathematical expressions to avoid confusion. It establishes a set of rules for performing operations in a specific sequence: 1) Simplify within grouping symbols, 2) Perform exponents, 3) Complete multiplication and division from left to right, and 4) Complete addition and subtraction from left to right. Following these rules ensures consistent evaluation and simplification of expressions.

Ecosystems and habitas
An ecosystem is a biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment. All the living and nonliving things in an ecosystem are interdependent and work together to form a functional unit. Ecosystems exist at all scales, from small backyard gardens to large biomes like the African savanna. When a new organism is introduced or a disruption like a fire or storm occurs, it can destabilize the ecosystem by disrupting existing relationships between organisms.

Mitosis and meiosis
Mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. Meiosis produces four daughter cells that each have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, allowing for genetic diversity when these cells are involved in sexual reproduction. The key differences are that mitosis results in two identical cells while meiosis results in four non-identical sex cells such as sperm and egg cells.
Verbs action
The document discusses different types of verbs including action verbs, present tense verbs, past tense verbs, future tense verbs, and helping verbs. It provides examples of each type of verb and notes how their forms may change depending on tense. It also lists some online games and activities related to verbs.
Body system
The document discusses how body systems work together and interact. It notes that if one system is damaged, it can damage other connected systems, like how smoking damages both the lungs and immune system. It also provides examples of how different body systems depend on each other, such as the respiratory system providing oxygen for the circulatory system to carry to muscles and the brain. The document emphasizes that all body systems play an important role and interact closely to keep the human body functioning properly.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

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).
