    IDHAYA COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, KUMBAKONAM DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY COURSE : B.Sc., & B.Com., I SEMESTER : II TOPIC : UNIT-VIII SUBJECT NAME : ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES SUB CODE : 19UGCES Presented by Dr.M.NITHYA M.Sc., Ph.D., PGDCA Assistant Professor, Dept. of Microbiology MAN, ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE The climate has changed many times in the past. The evidence for this is all around us, written in the shapes of the land, the composition of the ocean sediments, and the structure of the great ice caps that cover Greenland and the Antarctic. We are now corning to the realization that man can influence the planet's environment on a grand scale. Though he may have influenced the climate already, it has so far probably been in a small way. Our concern is that he may be able to do it in a larger way, and could begin to match Nature's forces with his own in the future. What can we say about man's influences relative to Nature's? This is the central question that we face when we consider the future of mankind. HISTORY OF CLIMATE Looking at the record of past climatic conditions, it becomes so fuzzy as we turn back the clock beyond 500 m.y. that very little can be said about the conditions on Earth. The ice age in which we now live probably started about 20 m.y. ago in the Antarctic, and then spread to the Northern Hemisphere two or three million years ago. Figure 1, by Flohn gives a rough idea of how the temperature at mid-latitudes may have changed during the past 60 m.y.

  • Machine Learning Approaches to Hybrid Music Recommender Systems
    Submitted by Andreu Vall Portabella Submitted at Institute of Computational Perception Supervisor and First Examiner Markus Schedl Second Examiner Dietmar Jannach December 2018 Machine Learning Approaches to Hybrid Music Recommender Systems Doctoral Thesis to obtain the academic degree of Doktor der technischen Wissenschaften in the Doctoral Program Technische Wissenschaften JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenbergerstraße 69 4040 Linz, Österreich www.jku.at DVR 0093696 ISTATUTORYDECLARATION hereby declare that the thesis submitted is my own unaided work, that I have not used other than the sources indicated, and that all direct and indirect sources are acknowledged as references. This printed thesis is identical with the electronic version submitted. Linz, December 2018 Andreu Vall Portabella MusicABSTRACT catalogs in music streaming services, on-line music shops and private collections become increasingly larger and consequently diffi- cult to navigate. Music recommender systems are technologies devised to support users accessing such large catalogs by automatically identi- fying and suggesting music that may interest them. This thesis focuses on the machine learning aspects of music recommendation with con- tributions at the intersection of recommender systems and music information retrieval: I investigate and propose recommender systems that observe and exploit the particularities of the music domain. The thesis specializes in hybrid music recommender systems, so called because they combine two fundamentally different types of data: (1) user–music interaction histories (e.g., the music that users recently listened to, or “liked”), with (2) descriptions of the musical content (e.g., the genre, or acoustical properties of a song). The pro- posed hybrid music recommender systems integrate the strengths of these two types of data into enhanced standalone systems.

    www.polar.org/antsun The January 13, 2002 PublishedAntarctic during the austral summer at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, Sun for the United States Antarctic Program All tied up in Palmer Little AGO on the big plateau By Kristan Hutchison Sun staff The scene at the Automatic Geophysical Observatory is straight from Laura Ingalls Wilder, as translated by aliens. An orange box of a cabin sits alone on a sweeping snow prairie. At odd angles from it is a matrix of posts and wires, like a clothesline waiting for washday. And in the field on the other side, someone pulls a small plow back and forth all day long behind a snow machine. Scott Freeman, part of the team maintaining the AGO sites, even calls himself a snow farmer, for all the hours and days he's spent towing the groomer. "You're just out in this flat, white plain with lots of time to think," Freeman said. "There's very little evidence of the hand of humans." Humans are hardly ever at the six AGOs scattered across the most remote regions of Antarctica. Teams of three to four people visit each AGO for a few weeks to do See AGO on page 10 Time capsule celebrates new South Pole station By Mark Sabbatini Sun staff The new South Pole station isn't finished yet, but it's already history.

    isney News D OCTOBER 2015 Halloween Time at the Disneyland ® Resort Adds Spookiness to the Sparkle of the Diamond Celebration Guest’s Favorite Hatbox Ghost Appears for the First Time in Haunted Mansion Holiday, and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy Adds Thrills in Tomorrowland Frightfully good fun adds to the excitement of the Disneyland® Resort Diamond Celebration as the Halloween season continues through Nov. 1. The annual, family-friendly Halloween experience includes spooky transformations of Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, plus special décor, themed foods and merchandise. Haunted Mansion Holiday in New Orleans Square has become a thrilling Disneyland® Park Halloween tradition. Jack Skellington from the Walt Disney Pictures classic “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” moves into the Mansion to spark a collision between Halloween and Christmas. As in past years, some eerie new touches have been added to the Haunted Mansion Holiday experience. The Hatbox Ghost, who recently rejoined the Mansion’s happy haunts, is staying to celebrate Halloween and Christmas with Jack Skellington and his friends. Another Halloween favorite is Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, a Halloween-themed reimagining of the popular thrill ride in Tomorrowland. Guests on board the speeding Space Mountain vehicles are thrust into a ghostly galaxy where they are bombarded with eerie screams, sound effects and music. Spine-chilling spirits pop out of the darkness, appearing to reach out and menace space travelers. Halloween thrill-seekers will enjoy visiting Disney California Adventure® Park to sample year-round excitement on California Screamin’ roller coaster, Radiator Springs Racers, Soarin’ Over California and Grizzly River Run. Guests may also mingle with the ghosts in The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror, or dance the night away in the after-dark Diamond Mad T Party.
