Art Project 2 InstructionsTo get startedWhile keeping t.docx

festockton

Art Project 2 Instructions To get started: While keeping this Instructions page open, go ahead and open up a second browser window or tab, for the "Art Project 2 Lab Journal" quiz/form. You will be collecting information about a known extrasolar planet and its host star in "Phase 1" that needs to be recorded near the top of that form. Further down, you will fill in some more details and answer a few questions as you complete that and "Phase 2," and then answer some more questions based on your experience in "Phase 3." Unlike in Art Project 1, where the different project phases had different due dates, here you can do the whole thing all at once. Having the "Lab Journal" quiz/form already open as you read and work down through these Instructions should help smooth out the process overall. Let us get started with... —————————————————————————————————— —— Phase 1 — Find a Planet! For this portion of the project we will use the "NASA's Eyes" app — available either online to run in your web browser, or as a free downloadable stand-alone program, at the following links:  in-browser version: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/eyes-on-exoplanets/ (链接到外部网站。)  stand-alone app: https://eyes.nasa.gov/ (链接到外部网站。) The two versions present the same general information, although the formatting is slightly different. The performance (speed / smoothness) and visual quality is generally better in the stand-alone program, although the web-based version has the advantage of not needing to deal with downloading and installing a new piece of software on your computer. You may use either for this project. If you decide to get the stand-alone app version, note that it has several "modes" — all of which are cool, of course — but for this project we will specifically be using the "Eyes on Exoplanets" one (open the app, and choose "Eyes on Exoplanets," on the far right side of the main menu screen; there may be a little pop-up that asks whether to use the app in full-screen mode or not, and it does not matter which you choose). A short introductory sequence will play, showing an overview of the data set of stars in the Sun's neighborhood, and which of those have been identified as having planets. After the introduction plays through, you can click-and-drag to move the view around, and look around at the stars that have had planets detected around them (the stars with 8-pointed star icons, instead of just tiny dots). You can scroll up or down to zoom in and out (or use the slider on the far right side of the window in the stand-alone app). Depending on how closely zoomed in on the Sun, or how far outward you are looking from, you may notice a couple of distinct "ray-shaped" or clustered regions of the galaxy in which a large number of planets have been detected around stars in those directions. These are data sets from specific dedicated planet-detection surveys — including, especially, the Kepler mission you learned about in Unit 3 of the astronomy video game ...

Sp10Name: ________________________________ Lab Report for Lab #9:Where in the Milky Way Are We? Part I: The shape of the Milky Way 1. Look up the morphological classification of the Milky Way. There is a bit more to it than “spiral”. Look for information on morphological classification in text books and/or online. Find out the shape of the Milky Way galaxy. [Type answer here] 2. Identify the parts the Milky Way. Some possible parts of a galaxy are: bulge, disk, halo, bar, or arm. Knowing the type of galaxy the Milky Way is, you should be able to identify the types of features the Milky Way has. Create a physical model of the Milky Way and identify the features it has. (A globe is an example of a physical model of Earth.) Describe your model and label all possible parts. [Type answer here] 3. Use your planetarium software to observe the Milky Way from the northern and southern hemispheres. Based on your observations (without the aid of telescopes or other wavelengths of light outside the visible range) explain how these observations support the conclusion that we live in a galaxy with the shape of your model. Further, determine in what part of the galaxy the Sun must be located to see the Milky Way as we do. [Type answers here] Part II: Mapping the Milky Way with Globular Clusters Galaxies like the Milky Way have objects, called “globular clusters” that exist in the outer regions of the galaxy (or halo). Globular clusters are dense clusters of stars that are generally free of gas and dust. In galaxies like the Milky Way, the gas and dust are located primarily in the disk. If we want to look for objects that we can see clearly (with no interference from gas and dust) we must observe objects in the halo. In the late 19th century an astronomer named Harlow Shapley devised an experiment to determine the position of Earth in the universe using globular clusters. He chose these objects because of their apparent lack of interaction with the gas and dust in the Milky Way. Step 4.Explain how Shapley’s experiment could be used to determine the position of Earth within the Milky Way. Given what you already know about the part of the galaxy in which the Sun is located and the information about globular clusters, what information would Shapley need to figure out the position of Earth? For about how many globular clusters do you think he would need to get this information to determine the position of Earth? Describe the experiment and list the steps one would need to take. [Type answers here] Step 5. As a group, devise a method for determining the position of Earth within the Milky Way using globular clusters. Decide how many globular clusters you want to observe. Decide what information you need to do the analysis. There may be many different ways of analyzing the data, there does not need to be group consensus for the analysis, but each method that is used should be discussed with the group. [Type answers here] 6. Gather the data you need from .

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...

SOFTTECHHUB

The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing. One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

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). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.
