This document provides an overview of nanotechnology including its history, definition, and applications. It discusses the following key points:
- Nanotechnology involves engineering at the molecular scale between 1 to 100 nanometers as well as manipulating and controlling matter on an atomic and molecular scale.
- Some applications of nanotechnology discussed include using nanomachines like nanoimpellers to target cancer cells, developing nanobots, improving electronics by reducing transistor size, and delivering drugs using nanoparticles.
- In medicine, nanotechnology is being used for targeted drug delivery, therapies like buckyballs and nanoshells, and developing anti-microbial techniques with nanoparticle creams and cell repairs with nanorobots.
ABSTRACT- In this study, the effect of ZnO and TiO2-NPs on beneficial soil microorganisms and their secondary metabolites production was investigated. The antibacterial potential of NPs were determined by growth kinetics of P. aeruginosa, P. fluorescens and B. amyloliquefaciens. Significantly decreased in the cell viability based on optical density measurements were observed upon treatment with increasing concentrations of NPs. While comparing the effect of the different concentrations of the NPs (200 µg/ml) on IAA production by different bacterial strains, ZnO nanoparticles showed greater inhibitory effect than TiO2-NPs on IAA production by bacterial strains. The effect of Nanoparticles on phosphate solubilization was found inhibitory at 200 µg/ml. Treatment with ZnO showed concentration dependent enhancement in siderophore production by bacteriaby exposure to ZnO-NPs whereas TiO2-NPs showed concentration dependent progressive decline for iron binding siderophore molecules. Reduction in antibiotic production by P. aeruginosa and P. fluorescens was noticed in the presence of ZnO and TiO2 as compared to the control. The fluorescence of NADH released by P. aeruginosa was observed to be quenched in presence of ZnO and TiO2-NPs as compared to control. The present study highlights that the impact of nanoparticles on bacterial strains and the release of plant growth promoting substances by PGPR strains was dose dependent, which gives an idea about the level of toxicity of these nanoparticles in the environment. Therefore, the discharge of nanoparticles in the environment should be carefully monitored so that the loss of both structure and functions of agronomically important microbes could be protected from the toxicity of MO-NPs.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a great innovation that is revolutionizing the agricultural practices. It is a science that works at the nanoscale and provides many benefits. In this review, the fundamental concepts of nanotechnology are clarified, focusing on its primary applications and a health and environment risk assessment especially in livestock production. There is currently a lack of reliable, cost-effective diagnostic tests for early detection of diseases in farmed livestock animals. Biosensing technologies have the potential to address these problems by developing innovative diagnostic tools for the rapid detection of key health threats within the agri-food livestock sector. It also allows for greater product innovation, with the creation of new food ingredients or supplements with nanoencapsulation or nanoemulsions, achieving a slow release of some composites, or perhaps obtaining healthier foods through the improvement of organoleptic properties in the product. Although nanotechnology provides many benefits, but as with all innovations, there are disadvantages and risks associated with its use. The risk assessment must take into account that the biokinetic profile and the toxicity in the target tissues can vary depending on which nanomaterial is being referred. A risk-benefit balance on the use of nanomaterials must be carried out, and in the majority of cases, though many people are open to the advancement, more information regarding the risks is required. Above all, it must be legally regulated to guarantee Agrofood safety in all products that have been manipulated using nanotechnology.

THE FUTURE OF NANOMEDINE
Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology. Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials and biological devices, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology such as biological machines. Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the issues related to toxicity and environmental impact of nanoscale materials (materials whose structure is on the scale of nanometers, i.e. billionths of a meter).
Application of Nanotechnology in Natural ProductsMona Ismail
Nanoscience is the manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale.
The word "Nano" is derived from the Greek word for “Dwarf”. It means a billionth. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.
Nanorobots and its application in medicineSagor Sakhaoat
For years, the cutting edge of medicine has promised nanobots. Tiny little machines that could run around your body delivering drugs, checking up on arteries, and generally keeping people healthy. But so far, those machines haven’t quite come to dominate the way some people thought they might. The human body is vastly more complicated than any robot we’ve ever made. So creating a miniscule robot to go inside of it, to work with that vast infrastructure, and to do our bidding, is a huge challenge.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
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.

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.
