CloudSeed is a Seeweb contest to get an investment of 30k in your cloud-based initiative. The contest is meant for startup and pre-startup ideas making an intense use of at least one of the cloud computing resources (memory, storage, Cpu, network).
Idaho Power Company has operated a cloud seeding program since 2003 to enhance snowpack and increase water supply. The program uses both ground-based generators and aircraft to seed winter storms when conditions are suitable. Trace chemical analyses and snowpack density measurements provide evidence that seeding increases snowpack amounts. Cloud physics data from instrumented aircraft also indicate that seeding stimulates ice crystal formation. The program aims to flexibly target a wide area and make use of both airborne and ground-based seeding to maximize effectiveness.
- Cloud seeding experiments have been conducted in India since the 1950s to enhance rainfall. The state of Andhra Pradesh has carried out extensive cloud seeding operations from 2003-2009.
- Over these years, cloud seeding was conducted across hundreds of mandals using aircraft to disperse silver iodide flares into rain-producing clouds. Post-seeding verification with local officials found rainfall increases in many seeded areas.
- Monitoring of the operations was done using radar stations and pilot logs to track seeded clouds and assess seeding impacts on precipitation. The results suggest that cloud seeding can effectively increase rainfall in drought-prone regions of Andhra Pradesh.
The document discusses cloud seeding, which is the process of introducing particles into clouds to alter precipitation processes. It provides background on future water stress and India's vulnerability. Cloud seeding can be used to induce rain or snow through static, dynamic, and hygroscopic seeding methods. Materials used include silver iodide and dry ice to seed cold clouds, and salts to seed warm clouds. The goal is to increase the number of ice crystals or water droplets through heterogeneous nucleation. India has conducted cloud seeding experiments with reported increases in rainfall. Applications include hail suppression and hurricane modification.
This document discusses artificial rain and cloud seeding techniques. It describes:
1) The objective of artificial rain is to help drought-stricken areas and meet water demands by enhancing agricultural yields.
2) There are two main types of cloud seeding - warm cloud seeding using salts and cold cloud seeding using silver iodide.
3) The methodology involves introducing hygroscopic materials into warm clouds above 0属C or glaciogenic materials below 0属C to encourage the formation of rain or snow.
Cloud seeding is a process of weather modification that uses scientific technology to improve cloud precipitation and rainfall by spraying clouds in the atmosphere from airplanes or other airborne sources, with the goal of increasing water availability globally.
Silver iodide is a yellowish chemical compound formed from silver and iodine. It is mainly used for cloud seeding, which involves dispersing silver iodide crystals into clouds to induce precipitation by serving as nuclei for water vapor to condense around. Silver iodide is also used as an antiseptic and in silver-based photography. However, the effectiveness of cloud seeding is uncertain and it may have detrimental environmental and health effects through consequences like rain suppression, flooding, toxicity, and pollution.
Seeding The Cloud: Broadcast Entities and Digital StorytellingMartin Franklin
油
This document discusses digital storytelling and broadcasting entities. It lists several projects including Pursued By A Bear, The Lamellar Project, and HowtoCorp.org that are experimenting with digital performance and live streaming. The author, Martin Franklin, is interested in seeding new forms of digital storytelling and performance through emerging technologies.
The document discusses weather modification activities in Greece carried out by ELGA, the Hellenic Agricultural Insurance Organization. ELGA's main activities are crop insurance programs and loss prevention programs. For loss prevention, ELGA uses operational projects like fog systems to prevent frost and airborne cloud seeding or hail cannons to suppress hail. ELGA also subsidizes protection methods like wind machines, frost nets, and hail nets. ELGA has conducted operational weather modification projects in several regions of Greece since 1984 to test hail suppression techniques. Statistical analysis of these projects found mostly positive results in reducing hail.
Warm air rises due to convection, cooling and condensing into water droplets that form clouds. Moist air forced to rise over hills and mountains also cools and condenses, forming relief rainfall. Frontal rainfall occurs when warm and cold air masses meet, with the warm air forced over cold air cooling and condensing. The main types of clouds are cirrus (high altitude wispy clouds), stratus (middle/low layered clouds), and cumulus (puffy clouds often leading to rain).
The document provides a history of weather modification, or cloud seeding, in Texas from the 1950s to present. It describes several cloud seeding experiments and programs that have taken place in the state. Statistical analysis of some programs found rainfall increases of 20-42% in seeded clouds compared to non-seeded clouds. The document also outlines how cloud seeding works and why weather modification programs are conducted in Texas.

This document provides an overview of the history and scientific basis of cloud seeding. It discusses the conceptual model of cloud seeding, including that seeding material must be transported to clouds containing supercooled liquid water. Past research is summarized, including studies of seeding materials, transport and dispersion modeling, measurements of supercooled liquid water, and measurements showing microphysical and precipitation responses to seeding. Current research projects aiming to further validate the effects of cloud seeding are also mentioned. Hydrologic modeling techniques used to assess the impact of cloud seeding on streamflow are briefly outlined.
The Bergeron process describes how precipitation forms in clouds. It involves the properties of supercooled water and ice crystals. Supercooled water droplets remain liquid below freezing temperatures until they contact an ice nucleus. Ice crystals grow more easily than liquid droplets because water vapor pressure is lower above ice. This causes ice crystals to grow at the expense of water droplets, producing snow or other forms of precipitation.
The document discusses Neogard roof coating systems. Key points:
- Neogard is a leading producer of elastomeric coating membranes and has 45 years of experience in polymeric coating technology.
- Their systems include bio-based options and are UL Class A fire rated, LEED friendly, and Energy Star rated.
- Neogard offers fluid-applied direct bond systems that are compatible with many roof types and provide a waterproof barrier before the topcoat is applied.
- Their polyurethane foam systems can be used over metal roofs to seal seams and screws without needing additional materials.
This document summarizes research on phase equilibria in the Ni-Co-Mn alloy system. The objectives were to determine the phase diagram experimentally and verify the Curie temperature of low-Mn Ni-Co-Mn alloys. 12 sample compositions across the ternary phase diagram were analyzed using SEM, XRD, DSC and optical microscopy. Preliminary results found the samples to be homogeneous single phases and DSC indicated some precipitation during cooling that requires further investigation. Applications of these shape memory alloys include industries like aerospace and medical devices.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for developing scalable cloud applications. It outlines problems developers may face including latency, security constraints, and limited platform choices. The presenters describe how application architectures need to change, such as using asynchronous messaging and non-relational databases. Both infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service development tools are presented. The document concludes by discussing needs for additional tools to help developers manage cloud services, applications at scale, and leverage the cloud as a development tool.

These three sentences summarize a document describing various types of clouds photographed around the world:
Pilot Ron Engels photographed dangerous Cumulus and Cumulonimbus clouds over Brazil that contain violent air drafts. Philippe Villette captured a lenticular cloud over the French Pyrenees that resembled a bird of prey. Kamila Mazurkiewicz photographed rare Mammatus clouds beneath an anvil canopy in Pulawy, Poland that form in sinking air and are associated with storms.
This document discusses metallic foams, including their production methods, stages of formation, characteristics, and applications. There are several methods for producing metallic foams, including gas injection into melts and particle decomposition. Foam formation occurs in stages of nucleation, growth, and collapse. Metallic foams are lightweight porous materials made from metals like aluminum and titanium. They have properties like energy absorption, heat transfer, acoustic insulation, and strength at low density. Potential applications include automotive parts, heat exchangers, medical implants, and acoustic damping.
This document discusses different types of rainfall including artificial/cloud seeding rainfall, convective rainfall, orographic rainfall, frontal rainfall, and cyclonic rainfall. It provides details on the formation process for each type. Artificial rainfall involves using chemicals to stimulate condensation and seed clouds. Convective rainfall occurs from heating of the earth's surface and rapid changes in intensity. Orographic rainfall is caused when air is forced upwards over mountains, cooling and condensing. Frontal rainfall occurs when warm and cold air masses meet along a front. Cyclonic rainfall is associated with low pressure systems and occurs along fronts with the meeting of different air masses.
Metal foams are lightweight porous materials made from metals like aluminum, iron, copper, and alloys with gas-filled pores that provide high porosity between 75-95%. They have applications as lightweight structures, filters, heat exchangers, sound absorbers, and electrodes due to their properties of being stiff yet light, having a similar coefficient of thermal expansion as metals, and reduced thermal conductivity. Metal foams come in open-cell and closed-cell varieties and are manufactured by companies such as ERG Aerospace and Metal Foam Korea.
Ultraviolet Disinfection - Ummi Nuraihan Mohd RizalKhaleeda Karim

This document summarizes ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. It explains that UV disinfection uses UV light to instantly neutralize microorganisms as they pass by submerged UV lamps. The process adds no chemicals to water and has no impact on water chemistry. UV disinfection units consist of one or more UV lamps in a conduit through which water flows, separated from the lamps by a transparent material. The required UV dose depends on factors like temperature, pH, and number of microorganisms present. UV disinfection is effective against bacteria, viruses, and protozoa but more difficult for Ascaris eggs. Safety precautions are needed when operating UV disinfection units.

This document provides definitions and examples of gamification. It defines gamification as using game mechanics and thinking to engage audiences and solve problems. Examples of gamified applications include Foursquare, Shopkick, and Farmville. The gamification market is estimated to grow to $2.8 billion by 2016. Game mechanics like points, levels, badges, and leaderboards can increase user engagement by appealing to human desires for competition, rewards, and status. Gamification can be applied to consumer apps, websites, education, and more. It works by motivating behavior using game mechanics linked to psychology.
The gamification process is a way to grab and retain digital customer's attention modifying any algorithmical approach. It is nowadays applied to any kind of software application: mobile, web, business.
