The Potomac River is cleaner than ever before due to efforts to reduce pollution. In the 1960s, 50% of fish had liver tumors and most oysters were contaminated by fertilizers draining into the river. Now, the bottom of the river has more grass and debris from pollutants is reduced at the surface. Scientists take water samples, and people volunteer to help clean the river, all helping to make the waterway less polluted for wildlife.

Economic Terms and Healthcare History Example 2: B level paper…No references cited The Oceano Dunes are minutes away from where I grew up. The sand dunes are the largest remaining dune system south of San Fancisco and the second largest in California. The Dunes are located along a beautiful stretch of land that goes 18 miles along the coastline that extends from southern San Luis Obispo to northern Santa Barbra. Its a very unique environment and because of the giant mounds of sand attracts many visitors. The Dunes are perfect for dirt bikers and people who enjoy off road vehicle use. The dunes also are the only area in California where people can legally drive on the beach. Every year two million people come to the dunes and tens of thousands of trucks and off-highway vehicles are driven on the Dunes. This is horrible for the environment and brings up a lot of controversy. No other location in San Luis Obispo and perhaps no other state park generates as many environmental impacts. The topics of controversy not only includes the delicate ecosystem but air quality and littering. One of the most worrisome conflicts concerning the Oceano Dunes is the air pollution. Nipomo Mesa is directly downwind of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation area and it has the worst particulate pollution in the county. Larry Allen who is the San Luis Obispo county air pollution control officer says “ The Mesa is violating every state and federal level for particulate matter on a regular basis.” The Air Pollution Control District is beginning a yearlong monitoring program along with experts from UC Davis to find the source of the pollution. They are trying the determine if it is the amount of pollution is caused by the off road vehicle use or perhaps strong winds blowing off a large area of sand dunes. Although it is figured it is the large amount of vehicle use. Another concerning factor is illegal dumping by ATV’s. Many campers instead of dumping their tank of sewage at a dumping zone will dump their tanks into the sand. This is illegal but many people do it because having a empty tank will decrease the weight and increase their gas milage on the way home. Dumping any kinds of liquid is illegal in any state park. Liquids could leave behind many harmful pollutants. Rangers say it is impossible to estimate how much illegal dumping goes on but are hoping it is going down because in recent years Oceano is now offering free dumping sites. There are also fines for dumping and they can be up to $3,400. In the Oceano Dunes there are a handful of endangered birds and fish. Protecting these species is incredibly important and is the focus of many environmentalists. There are been lawsuits that blame the state for not protecting these species and pleading for more protection. Two shore birds, the Western snowy plover and the least tern nest primarily on the open sand. This happens to be where people camp and drive their ATVs. Park officials are trying to ...

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.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !

KatiaHIMEUR1

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks. In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
