I recenti sviluppi tecnologici nel campo della fotografia hanno reso possibile costruire semplici e poco costose macchine fotografiche digitali elettroniche che permettono di fotografare con facilita’ gli animali. Vedere e fotografare gli animali nel loro ambiente naturale ci regala spesso sensazioni difficili da descriveree a parole : certe immagini ben realizzate possono riuscire a trasmettere tali sensazioni. E oggi molte persone riescono a fare strabilianti fotografie. Notare che il 2010 e’ l’anno mondiale della biodiversita’.
Nelle diapositive allegate vi sono belle immagini di tanti animali e anche di fiori.
This document discusses the challenges that African universities face in monitoring and evaluating their performance. It notes that African universities struggle to assemble even basic data on student enrollment, staffing, expenditures, and other metrics. This lack of institutional data makes it difficult for universities to track their own progress and meet the accountability requirements of higher education frameworks. The document argues that African universities need to invest in developing monitoring and evaluation systems to align with new performance-based funding models and demonstrate their relevance and impact. It provides examples of standard performance indicators and initiatives by organizations like NEPAD to collect continental research and development data.
The document discusses how talent management is changing and the future of talent management. Key points include:
1) Organizational structures are shifting from traditional top-down hierarchies to more collaborative and flexible structures. Automated technology will play a crucial role in talent management.
2) Talent acquisition, learning, performance management, succession planning, and employee engagement are all changing. Tools are focusing more on continuous feedback, just-in-time learning, and predictive analytics.
3) With these changes, the role of managers can shift to having more meaningful conversations about employees' roles, development, and career growth. When supported by technology, this enhances employee engagement and business success.

This document tells the story of X, who was unhappy about the state of the Earth and wanted to save it. X tried many things like searching online, joining forums, and writing a computer program, but nothing worked. X then embarked on a journey to the Himalayas to find "The Truth". During the journey, X realized the importance of conservation, population control, sharing resources with others, and living sustainably. By the end of the journey, X discovered that the truth was not hidden but out in the open - that to save the Earth, one must save themselves first by living in harmony with nature.
FitSchools is a school award scheme that promotes health and wellness in schools through a multi-stage framework. It aims to help children make healthy choices, be physically active, and raise parent awareness. Schools receive resources at each stage to progress in the program. The long-term vision is for FitSchools to reach over a million children by 2015 and give sponsors engagement with a high-profile health initiative for Irish youth.
The document outlines Google's business model and strategy. It describes Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible. The strategy is based on an open system where Google provides many free services and products to users. This generates a virtuous cycle where growing the web and free services leads to more users, searches, advertising impressions and profits which are reinvested back into expanding the web. The plan is focused on innovation, thought leadership and fast-moving technological advances like self-driving cars and machine translation.
This document discusses bringing back Vincent Van Gogh's style of art through machine learning. It introduces Krishna Sangeeth and their work using a neural style transfer algorithm to allow users to apply Van Gogh's style to any input image through a web application. The application uses a deep learning model trained on content and style images to modify the input image's content features to match the content image while also modifying its style features to match Van Gogh's style as represented in a style image.
Guido created Python in 1989 as a hobby project to keep himself occupied over the Christmas holidays. He chose the name Python as a tribute to Monty Python's Flying Circus. Python has been in development for over 25 years and exists in several implementations beyond the original CPython, including Jython, IronPython, and PyPy. The interpretation/compilation of Python source code depends on the specific implementation being used. Learning Python involves resources like A Byte of Python, online courses (MOOCs), local user groups (like ChennaiPy), and the recognition that learning is an ongoing process.
This document provides an overview of Apache Spark, including why it was created, how it works, and how to get started with it. Some key points:
- Spark was initially developed at UC Berkeley as a class project in 2009 to test cluster management systems like Mesos, and was later open sourced in 2010. It became an Apache project in 2014.
- Spark is faster than Hadoop for machine learning tasks because it keeps data in-memory between jobs rather than writing to disk, and has a smaller codebase.
- The basic unit of data in Spark is the resilient distributed dataset (RDD), which allows immutable, distributed collections across a cluster. RDDs support transformations and actions.

This document provides an overview of big data and Hadoop. It discusses the scale of big data, noting that Facebook handles 180PB per year and Twitter handles 1.2 million tweets per second. It also covers the volume, variety, and velocity challenges of big data. Hadoop and MapReduce are introduced as the leading solutions for distributed storage and processing of big data using a scale-out architecture. Key ideas of Hadoop include storing large data across multiple machines in HDFS and processing that data in parallel using MapReduce jobs.
The document discusses using NetworkX, a Python library, to work with graph problems. It begins with an agenda that includes getting familiar with graphs, looking at examples of graphs, and using NetworkX. It then provides a brief, simplified history of graphs involving nodes and edges. The document explains that NetworkX makes it easy to create graphs from nodes and edges in Python and visualize graphs. It also discusses loading large graph datasets and performing analysis like finding high degree nodes.

Anti Counterfeit System using QR codes and Various other applicationsKrishna Sangeeth KS
This document discusses a counterfeit detection system using QR codes. It proposes encoding biometric fingerprint data as QR codes to enhance authentication. The system would implement QR code preprocessing techniques like image localization, rotation correction and perspective transformation. It then suggests applications like bus commuter passes, patient identification, and jewelry certification where encoding fingerprints in QR codes could enable real-time verification and counterfeit detection.
This is the mini project done by Krishna Sangeeth K.S, Jinesh George , Pradyoth C John, Manu S Ajith - Students of College of Engineering Chengannur 2012 Batch.

A is the central character of an epic poem who, according to legend, gave blessings to locals in E as she traveled to D in Kerala. They constructed a temple in E, starting F, which is in the Guinness Book of World Records. A is believed to have reached D and settled there, taking the name of that place. A statue of the angry A demanding justice in Chennai's Marina Beach is an important landmark, though it was removed by an ex-chief minister and later reinstalled by someone who wrote the screenplay for a film based on the epic poem.
