This article focuses on providing solutions for one important application termed as agriculture. In India, one major occupation for people living in urban and rural areas is agriculture where an economic rate depends only on the crops they yield. In such cases, if an intelligent monitoring device is not integrated then it becomes difficult for the farmers to grow their crops and to accomplish marginal income from what they have invested. Also existing methods have been analyzed in the same field where some devices have been installed and checked for increasing the productivity of horticulture crops. But existing methods fail to install an intelligent monitoring device that can provide periodic results within short span of time. Therefore, a sensor based technology with Internet of Things (IoT) has been implemented in the projected work for monitoring major parameters that support the growth and income of farmers. Also, an optimization algorithm for identifying the loss in different crops has been incorporated for maximizing the system boundary and to transmit data to farmers located in different areas. To prove the cogency of proposed method some existing methods have been compared and the results prove the projected technique produces improved results for
about 58%.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of micro-fluidics are improving. Miro-fluidic devices have small micro-channels that analyze many types of fluidics. They can be fabricated from many materials including paper, textiles, and plastics. Plastics are the most recent to emerge and their fabrication relies on many of the same techniques that are used to fabricate integrated circuits. This means that they have been experiencing very rapid improvements as fabrication techniques are improved for ICs and then used to make micro-fluidic MEMS. (micro-mechanical electrical systems). Micro-fluidics are widely used in health care to analyze bacteria in water, glucose in sweat, nitrate contamination in water, and the blood of mosquitoes. Emerging applications include analysis of blood for early cancer detection.

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).

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Se application notes_smartindustry_moisture
1. Solution for ultra-low
moisture analysis in
smart process industry
Moisture is a critical parameter in
industrial processes
Moisture is an important parameter in the quality control
of several products. By knowing the moisture concentration
during production, both the storage and the quality of stored
materials can be optimized and energy savings achieved, e.g.
in drying processes. The moisture levels of raw materials have
large impacts on many processes, so it is critical to adjust
process control systems based on this information.
The use of Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to carry out
moisture content analysis without any sample preparation
is already well established in laboratories, but there is still
a clear need for cheaper, more compact and robust sensor
solutions. Typical applications of moisture measurement
are found in industrial manufacturing processes, such as
pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processes, and paper
production. NIR moisture measurement itself is non-
destructive and fast, normally taking only a few tenths of a
millisecond per sample. Spectral Engines’ spectral sensors
are incorporated into a fully programmable device that
enables you to optimize your measurements based on the
application requirements. Potential applications can be
found from process optimization in
• Pharmaceuticals
• Food processing
• Paper manufacturing
• Bioenergy production
• Extrusion processes
Spectral Engines’ technology offering
Spectral Engines has developed miniaturized near-infrared
sensor products that can be used for moisture measurements
and for monitoring applications in various processes or portable
instruments. Near-infrared technology has several benefits such
as speed of analysis (less than a second), minimum sample
preparation (process measurement possible), and accuracy
(better than 0.1% for moisture in most applications).
• The benefits of Spectral sensors are:
• Fast and accurate moisture measurement
• Sensitivity to ultra-low concentrations
• Easy-to-integrate in all processes using direct reflection
geometry or combining sensor technology with fiber-optic
probes
Spectral Engines’ spectral sensors can be used as stand-
alone reflection sensors or they can be combined with off-
the-shelf fiber-optic probes. Sensors are easy to install and
their affordable prices make it possible to use them in many
measurement points. Thanks to the broad wavelength region of
up to 2450 nm and the high signal-to-noise ratio, sensors can
provide high sensitivity and accuracy even for ultra-low moisture
concentrations down to 0.01%.

2. Moisture measurement of flours in the milling industry
Flour obtained from different sources can vary considerably in its protein
quality, protein quantity, ash, moisture, enzymatic activity, color, and
physical properties. The purpose of the flour measurements is to detect
the specific properties or characteristics of a flour, such as moisture. The
results of these measurements affect the flour’s performance in the food
industry, and therefore these quality variations in the flour composition
need to be detected.
Spectral Engines’ sensors offer excellent sensitivity and stability in milling
process applications. For the 0–10% moisture range, the RMSECV (Root
Mean Square Error of Cross Validation, 2sigma) value is approximately
0.50%, requiring only a one-second measurement time.
Ultra-low moisture analysis of pharmaceutical tablets
The University of Leeds has examined the feasibility of Spectral Engines’
sensors to detect moisture content. The moisture content of calcium
carbonate powder was determined using the Spectral Engines
NIRONE 2.2 with integrated light source operating at 50% of the light
intensity, using an immersion NIR reflectance probe (50 scans averaged,
0.2 ms integration time, 1 nm resolution). The water–calcium carbonate
mixtures were prepared in-situ using a fluidized bed. The moisture varies
from 0 - 16.67%. Moisture concentration was tested successfully while
extremely good stability was observed.
Moisture information is required in many process steps, such as those
required by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for their process tableting pilot
line. GSK is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical and health care
companies and is also an industrial partner in the ProPAT consortium,
which is a 4-year EU-funded research program related to novel sensors
and IoT solutions.
Measurement of paper moisture
Moisture content is one of the most critical parameters in paper
production. Moisture management has an impact on product quality,
while moisture information is also used to optimize the drying process
with the minimum of energy consumption.
Moisture content was analyzed from paper samples. The level of moisture
varied from 0.1-10.1%. Even low moisture concentrations were easily
detected with high accuracy. Based on these results, Spectral Engines’
sensors have been demonstrated to provide an accurate and fast
analysis method for low moisture concentrations in paper production.
Measurements were carried out in collaboration with Valmet Automation,
a leading-edge company in paper production lines and sensors.
USE CASES OF MOISTURE MEASUREMENTS
Conclusion
Spectral Engines’ compact and cost-effective spectral sensors enable fast, non-destructive,
high performance ultra-low moisture content measurements in real-time process-monitoring
applications. The affordable price point and small size makes it possible to integrate Spectral
Engines’ technology into demanding process devices or lightweight portable analyzers.
