![Baños de Agua Santa
Commonly referred to as Baños,
is a city in eastern Tungurahua
Province, in central Ecuador.
Baños is the second most
populous city in Tungurahua,
after Ambato, the capital, and is
a major tourist center. It is
known as the "Gateway to the
Amazon", as it's the last big city
still located in the mountains
before reaching the jungle and
other towns that are located in
the Amazon River basin.
Baños is located on the northern foothills of the Tungurahua volcano, at an
elevation of 1,820 metres (5,971 feet) whose activity has been characterized by
frequent powerful ash explosions and lava flows can be seen from Banos.[2] and
is being monitored by the Geophysics Institute at E.P.N.
Etymology
Baños de Agua Santa (Spanish for Baths of Holy
Water[3]
), is named after the hot springs located around
the city which have a reputation of having healing
properties due to their content of various minerals.
History
The city is also a Roman
Catholic religious center,
as some Catholic
believers say that the
Virgin Mary appeared
nearby a waterfall. So a sculpture of the virgin,
called Virgen de Agua Santa, was placed in the
cathedral. The history of the town is intimately
linked with the highly active Tungurahua volcano.
In October 1999, all 17,000+ residents were
forced to evacuate the city for weeks.
Geography
Baños is located on the northern foothills of the
Tungurahua volcano.
Along with Pillaro, Baños is known as a good starting point for exploring the
remote Llanganates National Park and its attractions including Cerro Hermoso.](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

English presentation: Machu Piccu The Lost City of The Incas
Machu Picchu was built in 1460 by the Inca Emperor Pachacuti. Some believe it was a retreat for the emperor and guests, while others believe it was a religious sanctuary for priests and nuns to worship the sun. It is located in Peru between two mountain ridges overlooking the Urubamba River at an elevation of 2,430 meters. The traditional clothing of the Machu Picchu region consists of colorful wool outfits that vary by village, made from alpaca wool.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.
Optimizing Gradle Builds - Gradle DPE Tour Berlin 2024
Sinan from the Delivery Hero mobile infrastructure engineering team shares a deep dive into performance acceleration with Gradle build cache optimizations. Sinan shares their journey into solving complex build-cache problems that affect Gradle builds. By understanding the challenges and solutions found in our journey, we aim to demonstrate the possibilities for faster builds. The case study reveals how overlapping outputs and cache misconfigurations led to significant increases in build times, especially as the project scaled up with numerous modules using Paparazzi tests. The journey from diagnosing to defeating cache issues offers invaluable lessons on maintaining cache integrity without sacrificing functionality.

- 2. Baños de Agua Santa Commonly referred to as Baños, is a city in eastern Tungurahua Province, in central Ecuador. Baños is the second most populous city in Tungurahua, after Ambato, the capital, and is a major tourist center. It is known as the "Gateway to the Amazon", as it's the last big city still located in the mountains before reaching the jungle and other towns that are located in the Amazon River basin. Baños is located on the northern foothills of the Tungurahua volcano, at an elevation of 1,820 metres (5,971 feet) whose activity has been characterized by frequent powerful ash explosions and lava flows can be seen from Banos.[2] and is being monitored by the Geophysics Institute at E.P.N. Etymology Baños de Agua Santa (Spanish for Baths of Holy Water[3] ), is named after the hot springs located around the city which have a reputation of having healing properties due to their content of various minerals. History The city is also a Roman Catholic religious center, as some Catholic believers say that the Virgin Mary appeared nearby a waterfall. So a sculpture of the virgin, called Virgen de Agua Santa, was placed in the cathedral. The history of the town is intimately linked with the highly active Tungurahua volcano. In October 1999, all 17,000+ residents were forced to evacuate the city for weeks. Geography Baños is located on the northern foothills of the Tungurahua volcano. Along with Pillaro, Baños is known as a good starting point for exploring the remote Llanganates National Park and its attractions including Cerro Hermoso.
- 3. The city itself boasts a beautiful main central park across from the cathedral. Nearby waterfalls include Virgen de Agua Santa, Inés María, Agoyán, El Manto de la Novia, Pailón del Diablo and Machay. Economy Baños is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ecuador[5] due to its amazing natural beauty (it is home to more than 60 waterfalls) and its plethora of available adventure sports.[6] Locals and visitors alike enjoy rafting, kayaking, canyoning, bridge jumping, hiking, biking and horseback riding.[6] Baños is also known for its production of taffy (Spanish: melcocha [melˈkotʃa]) made from cane sugar, and for small shops that sell the town's famous wooden parrots made of balsa tree.
