This document summarizes a pitch for providing security solutions for smart metering and smart grids. It outlines the context and need for privacy and security measures to enable distributed applications in smart grids while protecting personal data. The research goals are described as enabling privacy-preserving data collection, secure infrastructure for authentication, integration of payment methods, low-power security for in-home devices, and providing legal frameworks for remaining privacy risks. Partners are sought among vendors, manufacturers, service providers, and software companies active in this domain.
Industrialization began in the 17th century in England with inventions like the steam engine. It accelerated during World War 2 as major participants built up factories for steel, metals, textiles and other war materials. This large-scale factory production system is called industrialization. While industrialization provided benefits like new appliances, it also caused issues like land, water and air pollution from coal and oil usage that harmed human health and ecosystems. It resulted in urbanization as people migrated to cities and less land for agriculture.
A professora Vânia frequentou uma formação sobre integração de ferramentas digitais no ensino inclusivo. Ela aprendeu a usar ferramentas como Powtoon, Mindomo e Screencast-o-matic para criar materiais motivadores para os alunos. Vânia produziu recursos sobre o Sistema Solar usando essas ferramentas e acredita que elas irão enriquecer sua prática pedagógica.
A empresa de tecnologia anunciou um novo produto, um smartphone com câmera de alta resolução e bateria de longa duração. O aparelho também possui armazenamento expansível e processador rápido. O lançamento está programado para o próximo mês com preço inicial sugerido de US$ 499.
This document appears to be a portfolio or resume of graphic design work by Kalee Pavich. It includes summaries and samples of projects in poster design, book covers, logos, branding, portraits and more. The styles of work include photoshop, illustrator, indesign and other programs. A variety of clients and subjects are featured from magazines to concerts to businesses. The document shows a breadth of graphic design skills and experience.
The document describes the drinking bird toy, which was designed in 1945 by Miles V. Sullivan. It is made of glass with a tube running through two bulbs that form the head and stomach. When the bird is dipped in water, the water evaporates off the beak, cooling the head and causing methylene chloride to condense in the head bulb. This difference in vapor pressure causes the liquid to rise back up the tube, tipping the bird over to "drink" again in a repeating cycle. The drinking bird demonstrates the scientific principles of evaporation and condensation.

The document discusses the need for more aggressive research goals to improve the energy efficiency of information and communication networks in a sustainable way. It proposes that a consortium like GreenTouch, which aims for a 1000x improvement in network energy efficiency by 2020 through collaborative research, is needed to address this important problem. Reaching such an ambitious goal would require innovations in many technologies, such as small cells, MIMO, efficient transceivers, network architectures, routing and switching, and optical transmission.
This document provides an overview of shellcode mastering techniques. It discusses the basics of shellcode including features, types, and development tasks. It covers basic shellcode techniques like call/ret algorithms and delta offset approaches. Optimization techniques are analyzed like instruction format optimizations, register value reusing, and avoiding the stack. An example analysis is given of the evolution of smaller shellcodes over time in a shellcode size competition. Hands-on labs are described to practice skills like addressing variables, using strings, and finding Windows API entry points. Required tools are listed for the labs including debuggers and assemblers.

This document provides background information and resources for commemorating Veterans Day, including:
- A brief history of Veterans Day and how it evolved from Armistice Day.
- Frequently asked questions about Veterans Day, such as the correct spelling, date of observance, and differences between Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
- Statistics about the U.S. veteran population, including numbers from different eras, demographics, education levels, and more.
- Suggested discussion questions about veterans and military service.
- A note that women are also veterans and have served in all branches of the armed forces.
- Lesson plans and activities for elementary and secondary levels to honor veterans
The John Wick opening scene establishes the dark tone of the film through minimal lighting, with red lights highlighting the danger the character faces. Slow editing and camera shots show the main character's isolation and exhaustion as he lies injured on the floor watching a video of his deceased wife. Blood and bruising on the main character foreshadow his dark nature and possible death, setting up the violent narrative.
This document discusses using SQL/XML on Oracle databases. It provides an overview and outlines how to:
1. Extract relational data from tables and represent it as XML using SQL/XML publishing functions
2. Store XML data in the database using the XML data type
3. Transform XML data back into relational tables
The examples show how to start with simple XML generation and build up to a well-formed XML document with headers, root elements, and XSLT references.
The document discusses implantable contact lenses (ICL) for correcting high refractive errors. Key points include:
- ICL is preferred over LASIK for high myopia or thin corneas, as it has fewer risks of complications.
- ICL is made of a biocompatible collamer material and is implanted in the posterior chamber behind the iris.
- A clinical trial found nearly 60% of eyes achieved 20/20 vision and 95% achieved 20/40 vision or better after 3 years with ICL implantation.
- Complications are generally low but can include cataracts, increased eye pressure, damage to the natural lens, and other rare issues like infections. Most risks are
