Image enhansement
Image enhancement involves adjusting digital images to improve interpretability for human viewers by manipulating characteristics like contrast, intensity, hue, and saturation. There are two categories of enhancement methods - spatial domain methods that directly modify pixels, and frequency domain methods that operate on the Fourier transform. Example techniques include histogram equalization, smoothing, sharpening, and filtering in both the spatial and frequency domains.
Science review
The document is a science review test covering topics of light and sound. It contains multiple choice questions about how light travels, the properties of sound, reflection and refraction of light, color absorption and reflection, and characteristics of sound waves.

John Cage was an American composer known for incorporating chance-based procedures and extended techniques into his music. His piece 4'33" from 1952 consists of only silence, as the performer does not play their instrument for the entire duration. Cage believed that music incorporates both sound and silence. He used aleatory and chance-based composition methods, where aspects of a musical work are left to random determination. His piece Fontana Mix from 1958 uses transparencies with dots and lines that are superimposed to randomly generate a score telling the performer what actions to take.

Sesion 2.1 introduction to photoshop (basic)
Photoshop is a graphics editing program used to create and modify digital images. It was created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll and can be used for tasks like photo retouching, image manipulation, and graphic design. Digital images are made up of tiny colored squares called pixels that combine to form the full image. Photoshop uses RGB color channels, with each channel having 256 shades, to produce over 16 million possible colors in an image. It remains the leading software for image editing and is part of the Adobe Creative Suite.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
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.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Media Studies Cd Cover Analysis
- 1. Media Studies- CD cover project This Front cover was inspired by my peers and it was appropriate for the name Uni-sexed as the picture consists of male and female feet. This Back cover replaces the colours that is missing on the front cover, and brings it back up to date and at the same time it is still connected to the meaning of the front cover. Front Cover Open up a new project in photo shop CS3 (File>new) and set the width to 12CM and the Height to 12Cm (standard CD size) and the colour mode to RGB Colour. Import the photo you are going to use (file>open or just drag and drop) and then drag it onto your new work place. To rotate your image or adjust the size select it and then go to EDIT>Free Transform (CTRL+T) and edit as you wish. To change the lighting (contrast and exposure) select IMAGE>ADJUSTMENTS>Curves. Using the curves tool, you can adjust how much light there is, where it is directed at and the contrast and exposure. Once changing the exposure etc, you can then go into more detail and start editing separate frames and parts, adding text, colour or posterizing. lefttopThis is the final front cover that I produced. Using simple effects in photo shop I have masked a real colour picture to look like a sketch. Using curves, exposure and black and white I have created a 1980’s look whilst keeping the back modernized by using colour. Back cover IN many respects the back cover is much easier. Using the two gender signs you simply import each one twice and adjust the size, shape and angle. Once doing this you place them in the correct places where you think is right and then you add the text. Using the text tool ( T) drag and drop the text box in any position you want and input your text. Easy as 1 2 3. lefttopUsing 3D shapes and bright colour you get a scence of life and action. Also it brings the Album back into the 21st century. It is cleverly linked to the front cover in mainly 1 way. On the front you see different pairs of feet, 2 female and 2 male and on the back you have the Male and Female Gender signs, hence the band name unisexed.
