The document discusses the formation and characteristics of tropical cyclones. It provides details on how they develop over warm ocean waters and gain energy from the evaporation and condensation of water vapor. The Coriolis effect causes the storms to rotate. Tropical cyclones are classified according to their wind speeds. The 1970 Bhola cyclone that struck Bangladesh and eastern India was exceptionally deadly, with estimated deaths between 300,000 to 500,000 due to the storm surge that flooded low-lying areas and destroyed villages.

A presentation on the Four Spheres of the Earth and how the Earth systems interact. The Earth system pertains to how we utilize models to look at different sections of the planet in order to characterize what has occurred previously, what is occurring now, and what could occur in the future. The 2011 Japan tsunami and earthquake, also known as the 2011 Tohoku tsunami and earthquake or the Great Tohoku earthquake, which is also analyzed herein, occurred on March 11, 2011 in northeastern Japan. The calamity began in the early afternoon when a magnitude-9 earthquake struck the region, unleashing a massive wave.
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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
2. Cyclones, Hurricanes, Typhoons Named according to region (1) Cyclones – Develop over the Indian Ocean(1) Hurricanes - Develop over Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans(1) Typhoons – Develop over western Pacific Oceans(1) All produce similar effects(1) Eye Typhoon Odessa, Philippines
3. Developmental Stages Progression: depression storm cyclone(2) Classified according to wind speeds(2) Tropical Depression - less than 39 m/h (2) Tropical Storm - between 39 m/h and 73 m/h (2) Tropical Cyclone - at least 74 m/h (2)
4. Tropical Cyclones Introduction Tropical cyclones are intense, rotating, low-pressure storms (2) Develop over warm, tropical oceans(2) Produce strong winds and heavy rainfall(2) Can lead to immense flooding(2) Destructive Winds
5. Formation of Tropical Cyclones Warm water generates formation of tropical cyclones(4) Ocean temperatures must be at least 26.5°C(7) Over warm oceans moist, humid air (water vapour)(4) Warm air moves along the surface(4) This air converges and rises rapidly(5) Intense rising of air forms low pressure systems (7)
6. Formation of Tropical Cyclones As air rises, it cools, becomes saturated and condenses(4) Water vapour condenses into liquid droplets(4) Formation of thunderclouds(5) Condensation releases heat stored in water vapour(4) This latent heat warms the atmosphere(4) Air becomes lighter causing strong updrafts(4)
7. Formation of Tropical Cyclones Air expands and diverges at higher levels(5) Occurs only where wind speed/direction remain constant (no wind shear) (7) Air moves in at surface taking the place of rising air(4) This intensifies convergence(5) Creates wind and increases rising movement(4) Builds and progresses into a mature cyclone(5)
8. Coriolis Effect Spinning of earth on its axis produces wind deflections (Coriolis Effect) (7) Causes rising air to spiral around center (core) (7) Spirals with great force (7) Winds are now rotating, rising and moving in to fill spaces (7) Wind speeds increase and cyclone grows (7)
9. Coriolis Effect Northern hemisphere winds are blowing counter-clockwise around center core (6) Southern hemisphere winds are blowing clockwise around center core (6)
10. The Eye, Eyewall, Rainbands The Eye - the clear, calm center of storm(4) Cool air descends into this center (downdrafts)(4) Eyewall – ring of thunderstorms close to eye(4) Eyewall produces the most devastating winds(4) Rainbands – curved groups of clouds andthunderstorms (4) Rainbands travel away from eye in a spiral motion(4)
11. Storm Surges Occur when tropical cyclones reach land (3) Storm surge – raised swell of water (3) 60 to 80 km across (3) Around 2 to 5 meters higher than normal tides (3) Created by heavy winds and cause flooding (3)
12. Locations of Tropical Cyclones Between 10 to 30° North and South of equator (2) Within the tropic of Cancer and Capricorn (2) Poleward side of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (2) Zone of low pressure (ITCZ) (2) Coriolis effect greatly reduced at equator (4) No tropical cyclones occur at equator (4) ITCZ Tropical Cyclone Appearances
15. The 1970 Bhola Cyclone November 12, 1970(8) The deadliest tropical cyclone recorded(8) Developed over Bay of Bengal(8) Gathered speed as it moved northward(8) Devastated East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and West Bengal of India(8) India Bay of Bengal Storm Path
16. The Bhola Cyclone Characteristics Wind speeds reached 115 m/h (8) Strength of a category 3 hurricane (8) 33 foot high storm surge (8) Massive storm surge caused flooding and fatalities (8) Bhola Cyclone on November 11, 1970
20. Demolished 85% of homes in the area (8)Estimated damage at 86.4 million dollars (8) 300,000 - 500,000 people were killed (8) Great Bhola Cyclone
