IoT is the buzzword today. Wherever you go, people talk about it and there is more hype than reality. In this situation as fresh engineers it is important for you to understand IoT by taking an "inside-out" approach. It means to build understanding about various building blocks of IoT (Sensor | Device | Cloud | App) and technologies associated with it. This talk also focus on these key aspects and also derive key skills that engineers require to build a career in IoT. It will even map with our current ECEP course and make a connect with IoT.
The IoT device requires a tiny controller performing a specific functionality. The Arduino platform makes it ideal to build the same. Delivered using ESP32 NodeMCU, this module will give you hands-on programming experience on how to set up, program and debug Embedded applications running in Arduino platform. You will get practical experience in reading data-sheets, hardware interfacing and communication protocols. With these learnings, you will be able to build an IoT device running an Embedded Application. This should communicate with IoT gateway using short range protocols like Bluetooth.

OntoSoft: A Distributed Semantic Registry for Scientific Softwaredgarijo
Credit to Yolanda Gil.
OntoSoft is a distributed semantic registry for scientific software. This paper describes three major novel contributions of OntoSoft: 1) a software metadata registry designed for scientists, 2) a distributed approach to software registries that targets communities of interest, and 3) metadata crowdsourcing through access control. Software metadata is organized using the OntoSoft ontology along six dimensions that matter to scientists: identify software, understand and assess software, execute software, get support for the software, do research with the software, and update the software. OntoSoft is a distributed registry where each site is owned and maintained by a community of interest, with a distributed semantic query capability that allows users to search across all sites. The registry has metadata crowdsourcing capabilities, supported through access control so that software authors can allow others to expand on specific metadata properties.

Due to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, everybody had to quickly rearrange their lifestyle and learn how to get through isolation.
Keeping in touch has never been more compelling and challenging at the same time.
A recent survey conducted in Italy, states that 80% of the population felt like they needed psychological support to get through quarantine. We believe that if people had a way to feel surrounded by their friends and had been able to share activities, this number would be significantly lower. This is where our new app TreeHouse comes in handy as it guides the user in contributing to the life of the community: a virtual tree will come to life and thrive thanks to both real-life and online interactions. Sharing content, chatting with friends, or drinking a cup of tea together will make a leaf or a branch grow, but if the user is missing for too long, the tree will suffer from their absence, in complete symbiosis.
Nevertheless, checking how the tree develops helps the members feel the actual presence of the community, and makes them able to support each other, letting the tree flourish again.

Expressions (REs) are widely used to find patterns among data, like in genomic markers research for DNA analysis, signature-based detection for network intrusion detection systems, or search engines. TiReX is a novel and efficient RE matching architecture for
FPGAs, based on the concept of matching core. RE passes into the compilation and optimization phase to be efficiently translated into sequences of basic matching instructions that a matching core runs on input data, and can be replaced to change the RE to be matched.

Drug Repurposing is the investigation of existing drugs on the pharmaceutical market for new therapeutic purposes; drug repurposing reduces the time and cost of clinical trial steps, saving years, and billions of dollars in R&D. Identifying new diseases on which a drug can be effective is a complex problem: our approach leverages knowledge graphs (KG), networks composed of many types of entities and relations, on which embedding and graph completion techniques can be applied to infer insights and analyses. Our KG is built from well-known databases such as DrugBank, UniProt, and CTD and contains over one million relationships between more than 70K biological and pharmaceutical entities like diseases, genes, proteins and drugs. In this work, we research the applicability of knowledge graph completion techniques, such as link prediction (and triple classification) using a various number of different embedding models from different families: matrix factorization, geometric and Deep learning. Using these models is possible to infer new drug-disease relationships on our KG, and identify novel drug repurposing candidates. Preliminary experimental results are encouraging and show how state-of-the-art machine learning models, combined with the ever-growing amount of biological data freely available to the research community, could significantly improve the field of drug repurposing.

Plaster is a multi-layered infrastructure (based on C++) aimed at supporting the development of multi-FPGA systems and the management of large data flows between the nodes. In particular, the goal of the project is to provide the end-user with a set of tools (by the means of a Python library and a C++ service) to easily assign bitstreams to nodes and route data between them, in the context of a PYNQ-based cluster suitable for distributed acceleration of computation-intensive tasks. Using this platform, an abandoned objects detection tool is implemented, designed as a Multi-FPGA distributed system exploiting an hardware accelerated version of the YOLO neural network for image detection.

Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancer forms, with a mortality of 84.2% in 2018. Our project focuses on shortening diagnosis time and improving accuracy in the overall detection of this disease. We implemented a convolutional neural network capable of automatically identifying lungs on a CT image. Segmentation is a necessary first step for the development of an algorithm capable of identifying and classifying the tumor mass since errors in the ROI identification can lead to errors in the tumor mass recognition. The network architecture follows the structure of a preexisting network, the U-Net that performs well on medical images. We reached a very good test accuracy of 99.63%: the strength of our work lies in the large number of CT images of both healthy and sick patients, used for the training and validation of the network.

The last decade saw cloud computing more and more involved as the primary technology to develop, deploy and maintain complex infrastructures and services at scale. This happened because cloud computing allows to consume resources on-demand and to dynamically scale performance. Some compute-intensive workloads require computing power that current CPUs are not able to provide and, for this reason, heterogeneous computing with FPGAs is becoming an interesting solution to continue to meet SLAs. However, requests to cloud services can come at unpredictable rates and, for this reason, resources may be underutilized for significant portions of time. To increase resource utilization, we propose BlastFunction, which is a system that allows to accelerate compute-intensive kernels with shared FPGAs handled in a serverless fashion, while reaching near-native execution latency. In this talk we will present the main aspects of BlastFunction, showing its capabilities to time-share FPGAs across multiple function instances to optimize devices utilization. We will also show how we implemented the sharing and orchestration mechanism on a Kubernetes cluster based on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 F1 instances.

In the last few years, the use of Next Generation Sequencing technology in medicine has become more and more common, in particular for the diagnosis of genetic diseases and the production of personalized drugs. In this context, the identification of characteristic patterns in the human genome plays an important role. Exact pattern matching algorithms are an efficient way to identify those sequences. However, this process represents a bottleneck in the genomic field as it is very computationally intensive and time-consuming. Moreover, general-purpose architectures are not optimized to handle the huge amount of data and operations used in a genomics context. Due to these considerations, we propose an implementation of the Knuth-Morris-Pratt (KMP) algorithm on FPGA, a particular family of integrated circuits capable of reconfiguration for an infinite number of times. The KMP algorithm results in being very fast and efficient, by reducing unnecessary comparisons of characters that have already been matched. Furthermore, to achieve an overall speedup of the alignment process, the implementation on FPGA will bring on an even faster and more efficient solution, thus providing the patient with a quick response.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337

In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
