Levels of Biodiversity
There are three levels of biodiversity: genetic diversity which refers to genetic variation within and between species; species diversity which refers to the variety of species and individuals within each species; and ecosystem diversity which refers to the variety of habitats and ecological processes. Biodiversity loss is caused by habitat destruction, introduced species, overexploitation, pollution, climatic change, and industrial agriculture/forestry. Decreased natural environments can impact inspiration/recreation opportunities, education, tourism/the economy, endangered species, greenhouse gas emissions, air/water/soil quality, food shortages, and indigenous peoples who rely on the environment.

Methods used by interest groups
Conflict can arise from differences of opinion between groups on a shared topic. Small-scale conflicts may occur between user groups of an area, while larger-scale conflicts can emerge between companies, governments, environmentalists, and local communities over issues like development projects. Interest groups attempt to influence government decisions on issues important to their members through various methods. These include direct actions like protests and demonstrations, lobbying government ministers directly or through professional lobbyists, and petitions to demonstrate public support, though lobbying is generally seen as most effective for influencing decision-makers.
Study advice unit3 2006
This document provides an overview of historical perspectives on relationships with the Australian outdoors from indigenous, early European settler, and gold rush to federation periods. It discusses how indigenous Australians maintained deep spiritual connections to "country" and lived sustainably off the land for over 50,000 years. In contrast, early European settlers viewed the land as unowned and exploited resources unsustainably for short-term profit with little regard for environmental impacts. Significant environmental degradation occurred rapidly due to population pressures and farming practices imported from Europe. The document also notes debates around the extent of environmental impacts from indigenous land management practices.

Importance of natural environments summary
The natural environment is important for both individuals and society. For individuals, it provides places for recreation, relaxation, risk-taking activities, and inspiration which can lead to creativity and new economic opportunities. Being in nature also aids education, both formally and informally. A loss of natural areas could result in stress, boredom, and decreased productivity. For society, the environment provides resources, employment, and intrinsic value as places that should exist untouched. It also supports biodiversity which ensures sustainability of food production and medicine discovery. Scientific research relies on natural areas as a control to monitor changes. Losing biodiversity and natural environments could negatively impact agriculture, tourism, indigenous groups, air and water quality, and the discovery of new medicines.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Programming Foundation Models with DSPy - Meetup Slides

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).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

- 7. The Mountain Pygmy Possum
- 8. Who knows what the “LOVE TUNNEL” is on Mt Hotham
- 11. Why was there a need to develop the “LOVE TUNNEL”
- 15. What may also the affect the survival of the Possum?
Editor's Notes
- Recycled water produced and stored at the top of the “Heavenly Valley” chair lift.Recycled water is used in the snow making areas and also for toilets on the mountain.Slide 1 – Dam where water is stored after being treatedSlide 2 – Looking back at the hut that pumps and recycles waterSlide 3 – Signage
- Water Recycling Project Used for snow making and flush toilets
- Decreases the amount of water extracted from local water systems to produced man made snow. Therefore less pressure on aquatic flora an fauna
- This is the location where the Possum has been found after to previously thought to be extinct.
- The Construction of the Road has divided the possum’s habitat Males were no longer able to move safely between the two altitudes Many possums were being run over by the cars
- Many possums were being run over by the cars
- The Love tunnel was constructed under the road to help reconnect the two location and reduce the number of deaths on the road.The Possums started to use the tunnel instantly
- Foxes are a large problem at Mt Hotham.Mt Hotham Resort has implemented a baiting program to kill the foxes using 1080 bait.
- The grate was introduced last year to prevent foxes from entering the tunnel
- Inside the tunnel. They like to rocky outcrops
