Spectrum-Compliant Accelerograms through Harmonic Wavelet TransformAlessandro Palmeri
This presentation has been delivered at the 11th International Conference on Computational Structures Technology in Dubrovnik (Croatia) on 7th September 2012, and shows how the harmonic wavelet transform can be effectively used: first, to adjust a recorded accelerogram to match a given elastic design spectrum; second, to generate a number of fully non-stationary samples with the same probabilistic features.
A New In-Camera Imaging Model For Color Computer Vision And Its ApplicationIPALab
We present two applications of interactive computer vision. The first involves an efficient method for producing picture legends for group photos. This approach combines face detection with human shape priors into an interactive selection framework to allow users to quickly segment the individuals in a group photo. Results obtained by our method are better than those obtained by general selection tools and can be produced in a fraction of the time. Our second method is a tool for correcting errors in panoramic images. In particular, we describe two features:
1. a seam-editing tool that allows the user to modify blending seams in a local manner
2. a content-aware snapping tool to help the user better align local image content between overlapping images
We demonstrate the effectiveness of our tool on several examples that are tedious to achieve using existing photo-editing softwares.
CVD grown nitrogen doped graphene is an exceptional visible-light driven phot...Pawan Kumar
The photocatalytic potential of large area CVD grown nitrogen doped graphene (NGr) has been explored though the chemical transformation of 4-nitrobenzene thiol into p,p'-dimercaptoazobenzene. Decoration of NGr with Ag nanocubes with rounded edges to form NGr/Ag nanohybrids resulted in a slight increase in the work-function and a decrease in the n-type character of NGr due to ground state transfer of negative charge from NGr to Ag. The Ag nanocubes exhibited a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) at ~425 nm. When the NGr/Ag nanohybrids were illuminated with visible light of wavelength close to the LSPR peak, Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) indicated a dramatic change in surface potential of −225 mV and Raman spectra detected electron accumulation in NGr, which are attributed to a high local field enhancement-mediated hot electron injection into NGr and the formation of long-lived charge separated states. Pristine nitrogen doped graphene and its coupled system with plasmonic Ag nanoparticles showed superior photocatalytic performance compared to bare plasmonic Ag catalyst. While standalone Ag NPs were unable to complete the transformation of 4-NBT into DMAB even at a laser power of 10 mW, NGr/Ag nanohybrids completed this transformation at a laser power of 1 mW, pointing to the high photoreduction strength of NGr/Ag. Density functional theory (DFT) based computational modeling was used to examine the electronic structure of graphene doped with graphitic, pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen dopant atoms. DFT results indicated an enhanced chemical reactivity of NGr due to stronger localization of charge at the dopant sites and a pronounced difference in the projected density of states (PDOS) for carbon atoms in proximity to, and distant from, the nitrogen dopant sites.

This paper presents the study of the dynamics and control of an axial variable structure satellite (asymmetric platform and an axisymmetric rotor). Inertia moments of the rotor change slowly over time. The dynamics of the satellite is described by using ordinary differential equations with Serret-Andoyer canonical variables. For undisturbed motion, the stationary solutions are found, and their stability is studied. The control law is obtained for the satellite with variable structure on the basis of the stationary solutions. By means of computer numerical simulations, we have shown that the motion of the satellite controlled by founded internal torque is stable.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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:
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Conclusions
MDO of LV using HRE for space transportation
• Development of performance evaluation method
• The design of three-stage rocket for delivering micro-satellites
to SSO
maximize
i i Payload
P l d mass/Gross mass
/G
minimize Gross mass
• Exploration of global non-dominated solutions using MOGA
non dominated
There is trade-off between Mtot and Mpay/Mtot.
Maximum Mpay/Mtot is 1.30%.
• Design knowledge discovery using PCP
Maximum regression rate should be about 15mm/s in first stage.
In first stage, pressure of chamber, LOX tank and pressurized tank
should be large.
In second stage and third stage press re of chamber LOX tank and
stage, pressure chamber,
pressurized tank should be low.
