ASTRONOMICAL OBJECTS DETECTION IN CELESTIAL BODIES USING COMPUTER VISION ALGO...csandit
Computer vision, astronomy, and astrophysics function quite productively together to the point where they are completely logical for each other. Out of computer vision algorithms the
progress of astronomy and astrophysics would have slowed down to reasonably a deadlock. The new researches and calculations can lead to more information as well as higher quality of data. Consequently, an organized view on planetary surfaces can change all in the long run. A new
discovery would be a puzzling complexity or a possible branching of paths, yet the quest to know more about the celestial bodies by dint of computer vision algorithms will continue. The detection of astronomical objects in celestial bodies is a challenging task. This paper presents
an implementation of how to detect astronomical objects in celestial bodies using computer vision algorithm with satisfactory performance. It also puts forward some observations linked
among computer vision, astronomy, and astrophysics.

XUE: Molecular Inventory in the Inner Region of an Extremely Irradiated Proto...Sérgio Sacani
We present the first results of the eXtreme UV Environments (XUE) James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
program, which focuses on the characterization of planet-forming disks in massive star-forming regions. These
regions are likely representative of the environment in which most planetary systems formed. Understanding the
impact of environment on planet formation is critical in order to gain insights into the diversity of the observed
exoplanet populations. XUE targets 15 disks in three areas of NGC 6357, which hosts numerous massive OB stars,
including some of the most massive stars in our Galaxy. Thanks to JWST, we can, for the first time, study the effect
of external irradiation on the inner (<10 au), terrestrial-planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks. In this study,
we report on the detection of abundant water, CO, 12CO2, HCN, and C2H2 in the inner few au of XUE 1, a highly
irradiated disk in NGC 6357. In addition, small, partially crystalline silicate dust is present at the disk surface. The
derived column densities, the oxygen-dominated gas-phase chemistry, and the presence of silicate dust are
surprisingly similar to those found in inner disks located in nearby, relatively isolated low-mass star-forming
regions. Our findings imply that the inner regions of highly irradiated disks can retain similar physical and chemical
conditions to disks in low-mass star-forming regions, thus broadening the range of environments with similar
conditions for inner disk rocky planet formation to the most extreme star-forming regions in our Galaxy.

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).

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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:

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.
