The document contains a general quiz with 35 multiple choice questions related to various topics like companies, people, places, movies, songs etc. The questions cover details about Bombardier, Six Degrees of Separation, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Sunil Chhetri, Osama Bin Laden, Dronacharya, Gurgaon, Mercedes Benz, Tiffany, Verghese Kurien, Himmatwala, Sachin Tendulkar, Dolan Comics, Bear Grylls, Rohan Kanhai, Hitler, Arsenal, Kai Po Che, Big Ears, Ian Botham, Coca Cola, GTA IV, Kho-Kho, Al
The quiz will consist of 5 rounds. The rules and scoring for each round will be explained before starting that round. The quizmaster's decision is final. Players should have fun and enjoy themselves. One round involves listing 14 football players featured in a Nike commercial within 2 minutes for various point bonuses.
This document provides an overview of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, including its history, components, and applications. It discusses how RFID systems work using radio waves to transfer data between tags and readers without requiring line of sight. The key components are RFID tags, which contain microchips and antennas, and RFID readers, which can read multiple tags simultaneously. Example applications mentioned include access control for people and vehicles, security/anti-theft, and location tracking. While RFID provides advantages like automatic identification of many items at once, challenges include lack of standards and high initial costs.
This document presents an overview of iris recognition biometric security. It discusses how iris recognition uses the unique patterns in the iris to identify individuals. The document outlines John Daugman's pioneering work developing iris recognition algorithms. It then summarizes the key steps in an iris recognition system: segmentation to isolate the iris, normalization to compensate for variations, and feature extraction and matching to generate and compare iris templates. Test results show an accuracy of 82% with an equal error rate of 18.3%. Advantages of iris recognition are discussed as well as remaining challenges like non-ideal iris images.
This document discusses various factors to consider when deciding whether or not to become a parent. It explores choices about motherhood historically and in modern times due to advances in birth control. Parenting is described as a lifelong commitment that only the individual can decide if and when they are ready for. Both positives and challenges of parenting are presented. The document also discusses influences on the decision, different paths to parenthood like adoption and fostering, and personal anecdotes about deciding to have children or pursue adoption. The most challenging aspect of considering parenting according to the document is weighing all responsibilities and life changes involved against desires for freedom and spontaneity.
Traffic noise is a major source of noise pollution that can negatively impact human health and activities. The main sources of traffic noise are vehicles like trucks, buses, motorcycles, and cars. Trucks are the noisiest while cars contribute most to overall traffic noise. At lower speeds, engine noise dominates, while at higher speeds tire noise is louder. Noise can be measured using devices like the Brad and Kjaer 2260 Sound Analyser. Mitigation strategies include efficient traffic management, restricting horn use, reducing speeds, construction measures like special pavements and barriers, and environmental measures like tree planting. Government policies aim to regulate vehicle parts manufacturers and limit vehicle noise. Modeling road traffic noise levels helps organizations serve different needs.

A Software Engineering Perspective on SDN ProgrammabilityFelipe Alencar

Presentation of the survey published in the IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SURVEYS & TUTORIALS 2015. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) has received a great deal of attention from both academia and industry in recent years. Studies on SDN have brought a number of interesting technical discussions on network architecture design, along with scientific contributions. Researchers, network operators, and vendors are trying to establish new standards and provide guidelines for proper implementation and deployment of such novel approach. It is clear that many of these research efforts have been made in the southbound of the SDN architecture, while the northbound interface still needs improvements. By focusing in the SDN northbound, this paper surveys the body of knowledge and discusses the challenges for developing SDN software. We investigate the existing solutions and identify trends and challenges on programming for SDN environments. We also discuss future developments on techniques, specifications, and methodologies for programmable networks, with the orthogonal view from the Software Engineering discipline.
Diabetes is a chronic disease where the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces, resulting in high blood sugar levels. There are four main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, gestational, and prediabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Its causes are not fully understood but may include genetic factors and environmental triggers such as certain viruses. Strict management through insulin therapy, diet, exercise and monitoring of blood sugar levels is needed. Without treatment, complications can include kidney disease, nerve damage, eye problems and heart disease.
