Social Media Analytics Strategies and Governance

Social Media Analytics Strategies and Governance

Social media has spread rapidly on the global stage driving consumers’ attention and influence both consciously and subconsciously. Whilst this type of platform may have been initially designed as a tool for open communication and expression it is also being utilized as a digital tool with widescale use cases. The intelligence explosion information overload and disinformation play a significant part regarding individual group and country perceptions. The complex nature of this data explosion created an increasing demand and use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to help provide ‘big insights’ to ‘big data’. AI and ML enable the analysis and dissemination of vast amounts of data however the ungoverned pace at which AI and autonomous systems have been deployed has created unforeseen problems. Many algorithms and AI systems have been trained on limited or unverified datasets creating inbuilt and unseen biases. Where these algorithmic tools have been deployed in high impact systems there are documented occurrences of disastrous decision making and outcomes that have negatively impacted people and communities. Little to no work had been conducted in its vulnerability and ability to exploit AI itself. So AI and autonomous systems whilst being a force for societal good could have the potential to create and exacerbate societies greatest challenges. This is a cohesive volume that addresses challenging problems and presents a range of innovative approaches and discussion. | Social Media Analytics Strategies and Governance

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible.

Manganese Removal from Groundwater Role of Biological and Physico-Chemical Autocatalytic Processes

Manganese Removal from Groundwater Role of Biological and Physico-Chemical Autocatalytic Processes

In The Netherlands Belgium and other European countries manganese is removed by conventional groundwater treatment with aeration and rapid (sand) filtration. Such a treatment process is easy to operate cost effective and sustainable because it does not make use of strong oxidants such as O3 Cl2 ClO2 and KMnO4 with the associated risk of by-product formation and over or under dosing. However application of aeration-filtration is also facing drawbacks especially the long ripening time of filter media. Due to the long ripening time water companies have to waste large volumes of treated water making this process less sustainable. Also costs associated with filter media ripening (man power electricity operational and analysis costs) are high. Therefore decreasing the filter ripening time regarding manganese removal is a big issue. Although already extended research has been carried out into manganese removal the controlling mechanisms especially of the start up face of filter media ripening are not fully understood yet. The emphasis of this thesis is to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the ripening of virgin filter media regarding manganese removal and how to shorten or completely eliminate the long ripening period of filters with virgin material. This thesis therefore highlights the role of the formation of a manganese oxide coating on virgin filter media. Characterization and identification revealed that the responsible manganese oxide for an effective manganese removal was Birnessite. It was found that Birnessite formed at the beginning of the ripening process was of a biological origin. Based on the knowledge that manganese removal in conventional groundwater treatment is initiated biologically long ripening times may be reduced by creating conditions favouring the growth of manganese oxidizing bacteria e. g. by limiting the back wash frequency and / or intensity. Additionally this thesis also shows that the use of freshly prepared manganese oxide containing Birnessite can completely eliminate filter media ripening time. | Manganese Removal from Groundwater Role of Biological and Physico-Chemical Autocatalytic Processes
