This document provides details on the construction and establishment of a low-cost polyhouse for growing ornamental crops. Some key points:
- A polyhouse is a specially constructed structure covered with a transparent material that allows natural light entry and controls the environment for plant cultivation.
- Growing ornamental crops in a polyhouse ensures optimal growing conditions and higher productivity compared to open fields. It allows year-round production and export-quality flowers.
- The document provides specifications for constructing a low-cost polyhouse structure, including framing materials, foundation layout, ventilation, and covering materials.
- It also outlines the process for establishing beds within the polyhouse and arranging them in longitudinal and cross-bedding

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

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.

2. Introduction
• In open field conditions, there is no control over the
environmental factors like temperature, light and
relative humidity.
• The advent of modern greenhouse technology
opened up the avenues to precisely control the
environmental parameters favourable for the
cultivation of a particular crop.
• Growing ornamental crops in protected
environment (greenhouse/polyhose) ensures the best
microclimate around the plant so that the plant can
exhibit its full potential.
3. What is Polyhouse ?
A polyhouse is a specially constructed
structure like a building for growing plants under
controlled conditions. It is covered with a transparent
material as such permits entry of natural light.
A polyhouse or greenhouse is actually the
same thing. Traditionally the greenhouses were
constructed on wooden frames where glass was used
as a covering material. On the advent of the plastic
technology, it became possible to replace the glass
with plastic material. As the polythene material, being
the most popular, the greenhouses came to kwon as
polyhouses in recent times.
4. Advantages of Growing Ornamental
Crops in Polyhouse
The productivity per unit area is very high in polyhouses.
The produced flowers will be of high quality without any
blemishes and are suitable for export.
Insect, pest and disease control is relatively easy in protected
structures than in open.
Production during off season is possible only under
polyhouses.
Efficient intensive propagation of high value ornamental crops
is feasible in protected structures.
Polyhouses provide the right environmental conditions for
conservation, intensive cultivation and exploitation of rare
ornamental plants.
5. Types Greenhouses

Dome
The most important feature of greenhouse is how to
design to take advantage of sun light in available land
position. The basic types of greenhouses are:
Even-span
Uneven-span
Lean-to
Quonset
13. Types Greenhouses
To the extent of environmental control,
the existing green house structures can
be classified as:
• High cost (fully controlled greenhouse)
• Medium cost (partially controlled)
• Low cost (without any controls)
14. Planning and Designing a Low Cost Polyhouse
•A greenhouse should be designed to withstand the load
of the covering' material, other structural components,
wind velocity; intensity of rain, hangingweights
included in the polyhouse etc.
•Adequate quantity of sunlight for crop production is
required. The structure should require minimum energy
to maintain the desired crop microclimate.
•Local climate conditions and locally available materials
must be taken into account to arrive at the most
appropriate greenhouse design.
•Therefore, the structure is location specific and crop
specific.
15. Site selection
A good site can make all the difference in the
functional and environmental operations of a polyhouse.
• The soil should have pH of 5.5-6.5 and EC of 0.5-0.7 Mmhs.
• Availability of continuous source of quality water.
• The pH of the irrigation water should be 5.5-7.0 and EC between
0.1-0.3 Mmhs.
• Good supply of electricity.
• A ground slope for drainage is an important factor to divert surface
water way from the green house.
• Greenhouses should be located away from the buildings and trees
to avoid obstruction to sunlight. And should be pollution free.
• Facility of good road transport to near markets.
• Easy and cheap availability of labourers.
• Communication facility should available at site.
16. Orientation
Orientation of the
greenhouses could be in any
direction when they are in
single spans.
Multispan greenhouses
should be oriented in north
south direction only, to avoid
continuous shading of
certainportions of the
greenhouse by its structural
members.

27. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR POLY
HOUSE
5. VENTILATION: RIdge ventilation, permanent open top
vent of 80 cm and two sides manually operated curtains. Very good
ventilation is very important for the production of quality flowers
throughout the year. The area of the ventilation openings should be more

horizontal pipe at the beginning, so that the pipe remains horizontal
during operation. The horizontal pipe with the film has to fit tightly at the
vertical stanchions and must not move away from the construction by
wind forces.
6. STRUCTURAL FRAME: G.I. Pipes of 0.5 to 2.0 inches
diameter. Trusses, Columns, beams as purlins made of G.I. pipes angle
iron should have different load bearing capacities and should remain
sound. The structure should withstand a wind velocity of 100 to 110
Km/Hr. All structure should be assembled by using nut bolt M 10 and M 6
size and clamps which are cold galvanized. All G.I. pipes should be ISI
marked hard dip galvanized ( “ B “ Class), 2.00 mm thick.
29. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR POLY HOUSE
8. Cladding Material: 3 Layered UV stabilized PE film
