A stalactite is a mineral formation that hangs from the ceiling of a cave, formed as water drips from the ceiling and deposits minerals. A stalagmite is a mineral formation that rises from the floor of a cave, formed from mineral deposits in water drips from stalactites above. There are four main types of stalactites and stalagmites, which differ based on shape and mineral composition, and the key difference between stalactites and stalagmites is their location - stalactites hang down from the ceiling while stalagmites rise up from the floor.

Env Sci Cave Notes
Cave Notes provides information on various types of caves and cave formations. It discusses speleology, the scientific study of caves, which involves geology, biology, cartography, and meteorology. It also describes solutional caves formed by water or hydrogen sulfide dissolving rock, lava caves formed in volcanic flows, sea caves carved by ocean waves, and unstable glacier caves. Common cave formations discussed include stalactites that hang from the ceiling, stalagmites that rise from the floor, and flowstone, draperies, and rimstone dams formed by slowly moving water.
Caves
1) Caves form underground from water dissolving limestone over thousands of years, creating intricate mineral formations and unexpected environments.
2) Some of the largest and most fascinating caves can be found around the world, including Mammoth Cave in Kentucky which is over 500 km long, and caves containing massive selenite crystals in Mexico.
3) In addition to their geological features, caves have also been inhabited by humans and featured ancient cave cities, as well as modern establishments like luxury hotels carved within caves.
Cave Formations
Caves are formed through various geological processes including chemical dissolution, erosion from water, tectonic forces, micro-organisms, pressure, and atmospheric influences. Most caves form in limestone as water dissolves the rock. Some caves form at the same time as the surrounding rock, while sea caves form along coastlines due to wave action. Phreatic cave passages form below the water table from pressurized flowing water, and can range in size from a few centimeters to several meters wide.

Caves
Caves are formed over long periods of time by the erosion of soluble rocks like limestone by water and carbon dioxide. They occur in different types around the world, including limestone caves, lava tubes, sea caves, and sinkholes. Caves provide important ecosystems for organisms adapted to permanent darkness. However, human activities like vandalism and pollution threaten cave environments. Conservation efforts aim to preserve caves and educate visitors on protecting these fragile geologic wonders.
Introduction to basic caving
Caving involves exploring caves in a safe and responsible manner. Local caving clubs called grottos are a good way to learn caving skills from experienced volunteer cavers. Caves form slowly over millions of years through chemical dissolution of limestone bedrock by acidic groundwater. Caves contain fragile speleothems like stalactites and stalagmites that require protection. Responsible caving involves planning, using proper safety gear like helmets and lights, moving carefully through caves, and leaving no trace of one's visit.

Weathering, Erosion and Soil
1) Weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals at the Earth's surface through direct contact with the atmosphere, while erosion is the movement and transport of weathered materials by agents like water, ice, wind and gravity.
2) Weathering occurs through physical/mechanical processes like abrasion, frost action and thermal expansion or chemical processes involving reactions with water, oxygen and living organisms.
3) Weathering breaks down bedrock into regolith and soil over time. The type of soil formed depends on climate, topography, parent material and other factors.
Erosion and Weathering
Erosion and weathering are major forces that shape the Earth's surface. Erosion is when the Earth's surface is worn away by forces like moving water, wind, oceans, and glaciers. Weathering is when rocks are broken down into smaller pieces through various processes like freezing and thawing of water, plant roots, and chemical reactions. Understanding these forces helps explain landforms like canyons and shorelines. Soil erosion from forces like water and wind is important because humans rely on soil for food production.
weathering - meaning and effects
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals at Earth's surface through contact with the atmosphere, biota, and water. There are three main types of weathering: mechanical, chemical, and biological. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces through processes like exfoliation and frost cracking. Chemical weathering alters the composition of rocks through reactions with water and acids. Biological weathering occurs when living organisms contribute to the breakdown of surface materials.
Weathering and erosion
The earth is continuously changing. Many factors cause these changes. View this powerpoint to learn more about the earth and these factors.

Social Enterprise in the Philippines
Social enterprises in the Philippines aim to directly address social needs through products, services, and work provided by marginalized groups. They operate as businesses to achieve a clear social mission, investing profits back into social programs rather than increasing individual assets. Key social enterprises discussed include Gawad Kalinga, Human Nature, and Enchanted Farm Social Businesses, which employ and support marginalized communities while providing environmentally-friendly products and services. The proposed Magna Carta bill would help the social enterprise sector through loans, insurance, capacity building, procurement preferences, and tax incentives.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

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.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Fueling AI with Great Data with Airbyte Webinar
