The document provides a framework for answering a question about food preservation methods. It outlines that the response should restate the question, answer it while citing two pieces of evidence with explanations, provide a counter argument that others may have, and rebut that counter argument with evidence from the source text.
Racecarframefoodpres
This document discusses food preservation methods and argues that canning is the best option. It cites two reasons from experts that canning destroys bacteria and seals out air to prevent spoiling. While freezing is an alternative, canning allows food to maintain its texture and flavor longer when stored.
Food preservation l8
Canning uses heat to kill microbes allowing food to be stored for long periods, though it requires significant energy and some vitamins are lost, with food poisoning a risk if not done correctly. Chemical preservation extends shelf life through anti-microbial agents but some people are sensitive and can have allergic reactions, while irradiation destroys microbes without residue or altered taste at low temperatures and little nutrient loss, though it is expensive. Pasteurization prevents microbial growth while retaining some vitamins but results in significant vitamin loss, impacted flavor, and greater expense.
Cell bio vocab (1)
This document defines key cellular structures and their functions, including the cell membrane, cell wall, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and vacuoles. It also briefly discusses cellular respiration, microbes, protists, bacteria, and blood types.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
