Transparent concrete is a concrete based building material with light-Tran missive properties due to embedded light optical elements usually Optical fibres. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore the fibres have to go through the whole object. Transparent concrete is also known as the translucent concrete and light transmitting concrete because of its properties. It is used in fine architecture as a facade material and for cladding of interior walls. In this paper, to integrate the merits of concrete and optical fibre, for developing transparent concrete by arranging the high numerical aperture Plastic Optical Fibres (POF) or big diameter glass optical fibre into concrete. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an architectural purpose for good aesthetical view of the building.

A Study on Translucent Concrete Product and Its Properties by Using Optical F...IJMER
- Translucent concrete is a concrete based material with light-transferring properties,
obtained due to embedded light optical elements like Optical fibers used in concrete. Light is conducted
through the concrete from one end to the other. This results into a certain light pattern on the other
surface, depending on the fiber structure. Optical fibers transmit light so effectively that there is
virtually no loss of light conducted through the fibers. This paper deals with the modeling of such
translucent or transparent concrete blocks and panel and their usage and also the advantages it brings
in the field. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of
illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an
architectural purpose of the building
Concrete is one of the world's widely used building material The introduction of fibre optics into the concrete mix has given it a new dimension Transparent Concrete or LiTraCon (Light Transmitting Concrete) or translucent concrete can be produced as prefabricated building blocks which is able to move light through the concrete upto 20m thickness

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

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.

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.

3. INTRODUCTION
Translucent concrete is a concrete based building
material having light-Transmissive property.
Light-Transmissive property is mainly due to
uniform distribution of high numerical aperture
Plastic Optical Fibres (POF) throughout its body.
Hence it is also known to be transparent concrete,
LiTraCon.
4. MATERIAL USED FOR TRANSLUCENT
CONCRETE
The two basic materials used for making
transparent concrete
1. Fine concrete
2. Optical fibres
Fine concrete: Consists of cement and
fine aggregate such as sand.
Optical fibres: There are 3 kinds
I. Multimode graded-index fibre
II. Multimode step-index fibre
III. Single-mode step-index fibres.
5. PRINCIPLE
Translucent concrete works Based on
“Nano-Optics”.
These fibres passes as much light when
tiny slits are placed directly on top of each
other. Hence optical fibers in the concrete
act like the slits and carry the light across
throughout the concrete.
6. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The manufacturing process of
transparent concrete is almost same as
regular concrete.
Small layers of the concrete are poured
into the mould and on top of each
layers, a layer of fibres is infused.
Fabric and concrete are alternately
inserted into moulds at intervals of
approximately 2 mm to 5mm.
7. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Light-transmitting concrete is produced by
adding 4% to 5% optical fibres by volume
into the concrete mixture.
The concrete mixture is made from fine
materials and does not contain coarse
aggregate.
Thousands of strands of optical fibres are
cast into concrete to transmit light
Smaller or thinner layers allow an
increased amount of light to pass through
the concrete.

The casted material is
cut into panels or blocks
of the specified
thickness and the
surface is then typically
polished, resulting in
finishes ranging from
semi-gloss to highgloss.
9. APPLICATIONS
Transparent
concrete blocks
suitable for floors,
pavements and
load-bearing walls.
Facades, interior
wall cladding and
dividing walls based
on thin panels.
Partitions wall and it
can be used where
the sunlight does not
reach properly.
10. APPLICATIONS
In furniture for the decorative and
aesthetic purpose.
Light sidewalks at night.
Increasing visibility in dark subway
stations.
Lighting indoor fire escapes, in the
event of a power failure.
Illuminating speed bumps on
roadways at night.
11. ADVANTAGES
Energy saving can be done by utilization
of transparent concrete in building.
It has very good architectural properties
for giving good aesthetical view to the
building.
12. DISADVANTAGES
The concrete is very costly because of
the optical fibres.
Casting of transparent concrete block is
difficult for the labour so special skilled
person is required.
13. CONCLUSION
Transparent concrete can be developed by adding
optical fibre or large diameter glass fibre in the
concrete mixture.
It has good light guiding property and the ratio of
optical fibre volume to concrete is proportionate to
transmission of light.
It doesn’t loose the strength parameter when
compared to regular concrete and also it has very
vital property from the aesthetic point of view.
This new kind of building material can integrate the
concept of green energy saving
