JavaScript uses prototypal inheritance, where an object inherits directly from another object instance.
JavaScript global object, execution contexts & closuresHDR1001
The document discusses key JavaScript concepts including the global object, execution contexts, closures, and 'this'. It summarizes an article explaining that the global object exists as a single copy accessible anywhere and ends with the program. Execution contexts contain variable objects and have a stack structure. Closures occur when a nested function references variables in its parent function's scope. The value of 'this' depends on how a function is called. Diagrams are included to help illustrate these concepts.
India faces increasing challenges in ensuring adequate water supply for its growing population and industries. Agricultural water usage accounts for 90% of total water use in India, much higher than the global average of 70%. Both industrial and agricultural sectors use water very inefficiently in India compared to other countries. Domestic water usage is also rising rapidly due to urbanization. At the same time, available water resources are under strain. Urgent action is needed to adopt more efficient irrigation techniques in agriculture, increase industrial water productivity, improve urban water distribution systems, expand wastewater recycling, and introduce volume-based water pricing to manage water demand sustainably.

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?
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).

The ‘guiding principles‟ of the Healthy Cities Framework
Collaboration
Participation
Equity
Socio-ecological health
37. Benefits of a sustainable community
have been identified as:
Viability (remaining within ecological limits);
Conviviality (people living well together);
Adequate prosperity (consuming less but with sufficiency and
creative alternatives to economic production);
Liveability (natural and built environments for public and
environmental health and easy living);
Sustainability (sufficient development without threatening viability);
Equity (equal opportunity for the development of human potential).
38. Many Examples of Global and Local Planning asking…
What do we need to do more of or
do differently to achieve the best
future for the City or Community?
Healthy cities has a focus on environmental health risks, lifestyle and well-being
issues…

70. Green Cities is not a new concept - Older Cities have
a green design... Honolulu, Calgary, Montreal
Honolulu – US - Among American cities, Honolulu tops the list of the least polluted
cities. The industries situated in this region are very light and non-polluting. An excellent
bus transit system, has reduced the exhaust and traffic fume levels. The proximity to the
ocean also adds to the clean air and healthy environment.
71. Helsinki – Finland A fairly large city, Helsinki, the capital of
Finland, is the least polluted city in Europe. The citizens of the city
take much pride in keeping the city clean and pollution free.
Their light rail commuter system is very popular, and the use of cars
and other vehicles is limited.
Stockholm About 5% of the cars present in Stockholm are
hybrid versions. The city also has very little heavy industry in or
around it. Like in all other green cities, the public transportation
systems are clean and efficient.
Zurich is known as the city with multiple public transport systems which make a good choice
to private cars. This reduces many polluting vehicles on the road.
Katsuyama With a population of only 30,000
and a total areaof only 253.68 sq. km, Katsuyamas‟ tourism
Being its major income, there is a great amount
of effort being made to keep the city green.
Brisbane is a modern city and a a liveable city.
79. Definitions and Concepts
Design elements of Ecovillages
....passive house, rainwater
utilisation, insulation, house design for
efficient heating and cooling etc
80. HEALTHY CITIES and ECOVILLAGES
DEFINITIONS...
Ecovillages are intentional communities with the goal of becoming
more socially, economically and ecologically sustainable.
Some aim for a population of 50–150 individuals.
Larger ecovillages of up to 2,000 individuals exist as networks of
smaller sub-communities to create an ecovillage model that allows for
social networks within a broader foundation of support.
Certain ecovillages have grown by
the nearby addition of others, not
necessarily members, settling on the
periphery of the ecovillage and
effectively participating in the
ecovillage
community.
81.
82. Ecovillage members are united by shared ecological, social-economic and
cultural-spiritual values.
An ecovillage is often composed of people who have chosen an alternative to
centralized electrical, water, and sewage systems.
Many see the breakdown of traditional forms of community, wasteful
consumerist lifestyles, the destruction of natural habitat, urban sprawl,
factory farming, and over-reliance on fossil fuels, as trends that must be
changed to avert ecological disaster.
They see small-scale communities with minimal ecological impact as
an alternative.
However, such communities often cooperate with peer villages in networks
of their own (see Global Ecovillage Network).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecovillage
83.
84. The Ecovillage achieves:
Preservation of natural landforms and rehabilitation of the
degraded site‟s environmental integrity
Extensive wildlife corridors, negligible vegetation loss and
extensive native plant regeneration
Food and material self-sufficiency through edible
landscaping and streetscaping, household farming and
other productive strategies
85.
86. The Ecovillage at Currumbin...
Self-sufficiency in energy usage
complete autonomy in water
waste water recycling
The Ecovillage is a Queensland Govt Energywise and Waterwise Demonstration Project
and involves significant partnership with community universities, industry and various tiers
of government. The Ecovillage has won 21 Awards from Industry and Government.
87. In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and
floors are made to collect, store, and distribute solar
energy in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar
heat in the summer.
This is called passive solar design or climatic design because, unlike active
solar heating systems, it doesn't involve the use of mechanical and
electrical devices.
89. Solar power connected to the electricity grid
In a grid-connect system, electricity is received from both the
solar panels and the utility grid. Surplus electricity from the solar
panels is exported to the utility grid and `bought back' when
required. Thereby reducing your carbon footprint and your
electricity bills immediately.
Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme - Feed in Tariff
The Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme pays households
for the surplus electricity generated by their solar photovoltaic (PV)
systems that is exported to the Queensland electricity grid.
Customers participating in the scheme will be paid a Feed in Tariff @ 44 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) for surplus electricity fed into the grid—around three times the current general
domestic use tariff of 16.29c/kWh (inc GST as at 1 July 2008).
92. Construction began this week on the Recycling Centre – the
community building that will be one of the most important
centres in the village.
93. Ecoliving...Food producing streetscaping
Food is grown locally in the streets and in the landscaping throughout the village
providing opportunities to pick your own fruit and vegetables not only in your
own backyard but throughout the entire site!
Local people and groups forming ...
The Ecovillage Earthcarers Group (EVE)
meet regularly to plant, weed and attend
to maintenance of open space areas.
Ecoliving includes ideas of growing,
harvesting and creating resources.
98. A planet of smarter
cities and communities…
„This unprecedented urbanisation is both an emblem of our
economic and societal progress and a huge strain on the
planets infrastructure‟
Now with over two-thirds of our population living in
capital cities, and the other one-third in regional and
rural areas?
We need to work ‘with’ our Cities, regional and rural
communities and continue to plan communities
