First emperors tomb
The First Emperor's Tomb was built soon after he became king of the Qin dynasty to house his burial chamber and funerary items. Over 700,000 workers toiled for decades to construct the tomb, burying life-sized terracotta warriors and burying craftsmen alive so its secrets would remain hidden. While the tomb was plundered after the emperor's death, its burial chamber remains unexcavated today and geophysical surveys have found underground structures matching ancient descriptions of the tomb's design.
Qin dynasty, the great wall
The document discusses the history and construction of the Great Wall of China. It was built during the Qin Dynasty in the 3rd century BC under Emperor Qin Shi Huang to protect China's northern border from invasions by nomadic groups.

Unit 4 lesson 3 power point ancient china 1
Ancient China is explored from early beginnings to 1300 CE. Key philosophies included Confucianism which emphasized respect for elders, and Daoism which valued living in harmony with nature. Major dynasties unified and expanded China through legalism like the Qin, while the Han established a bureaucracy and classified social classes. The Tang and Song dynasties achieved advancements in technology, art, and agriculture but faced invaders and internal conflicts.
Qin Dynasty Ppt
The Qin Dynasty was China's third dynasty, ruled by Qin Shi Huangdi, the First Emperor of China. He unified China under harsh authoritarian rule, rejecting Confucian teachings. Key accomplishments included standardizing currency, weights and measures; building the Great Wall of China to protect the empire from invaders, which took 500,000 lives to construct; and establishing legalism as the governing philosophy with absolute obedience to the ruler enforced through rewards and punishments. However, the Qin Dynasty only lasted 20 years due to rebellions against Shi Huangdi's harsh methods and his son proving a weak ruler.

Ancient China
The document discusses the geography of ancient China and how it influenced the locations and development of early Chinese civilizations. It explains that civilizations tended to form along major rivers like the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Xi River, as they provided water and served as transportation routes for trade. The rugged terrain and arid climate of the Gobi Desert made it unsuitable for supporting civilizations. Major early dynasties like the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and others were all located near rivers due to the advantages the geography provided.

Chinese civilization
1) China has one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations dating back to around 1500 BC along the Yellow River and Yangtze River valleys.
2) Early dynasties included the Shang Dynasty which established the first Chinese civilization, and the Zhou Dynasty which expanded Chinese rule and developed the concept of the Mandate of Heaven.
3) The Qin Dynasty in the 3rd century BC was the first to unify China under an emperor, standardizing laws, currency, and language.
4) The long-lasting Han Dynasty expanded China territorially and economically along the Silk Road, though it eventually collapsed due to corruption and loss of control.

Upon the move of the capital to Luoyi (Luoyang), the Zhou co
Upon the move of the capital to Luoyi (Luoyang), the Zhou
controlled less of China than they had for most of the previ-
ous three hundred years. Instead, dozens of states rose, built
cities, and vied for power during the period known as Spring
and Autumn. Cast iron appeared in China around the eighth
century BCE, making metal weaponry easier to produce and
cheaper, in addition to the use of iron in agricultural imple-
ments.1 Bronze and jade technology became more sophisti-
cated, with inscriptions on bronze vessels remaining an impor-
tant source of information about the major historical figures
of the period and their states. Writings of this Classical Age
of Chinese thought provide information directly relevant to
architecture and ceremonies in and around it, and thousands
of tombs offer information about building technology as well
as objects that filled them.
Rulers’ Cities
Passages in texts of the early centuries CE have guided the
understanding of architectural remains dated from the
Western Zhou through the early Spring and Autumn period
in the region of central Shaanxi known as Zhouyuan, the
area that once belonged to the state of Qin, discussed in the
previous chapter. The phrase qian(you)chao, hou(you)qin, or “in
front, audience hall; behind, private (or resting) chambers,” a
reference to the placement of buildings in imperial settings,
is almost iconic:2 it was observed at Majiazhuang and is still
in place in the Forbidden City, where the Three Front Halls
were for audience and other court functions and the Back
Halls were for imperial residence; and when the empress held
audience in the Back Halls sector, she slept behind her hall
of audience. Her position behind the emperor was further
demonstration of the greater importance of a front building
or complex and lesser significance of architecture behind. The
idea that the more public space of a ruler is in front of where
he lives and sleeps is in evidence at every Chinese imperial city
from the third century onward and will be implemented in
tomb and cave-temple construction.
One passage from “Kaogongji” (Record examining trades or
crafts [including construction]), a section of the Zhouli (Rituals
of Zhou), has emerged as preeminent in writing about Chinese
cities. It is a prescription for Wangcheng (ruler’s city). Like the
rest of “Kaogongji,” the passage is believed to refer to Zhou
practices, even though the text survives probably from the
period of Western Han.3 Wangcheng is to be a square whose
four wall positions are determined by measuring out from a
midpoint according to the sun’s shadow. Each side of the wall
is 9 li, the number nine associated with fullness and perfection
and, by extension, with royalty. Major thoroughfares are to
cross the entirety of Wangcheng from wall to opposite wall.
The central thoroughfares, however, are blocked by the ruler’s
palace, positioned in its own walled enclosure. The palace faces

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
Harnessing the Power of NLP and Knowledge Graphs for Opioid Research

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
