How IoT networks run on blockchain can mitigate climate change Hult Blog

When applying to Hult’s Masters in International Marketing program in San Francisco, it was my goal to learn more about building a strong brand and to explore the ways Silicon Valley companies build innovative products that change our world. My goal was to start a company myself—and become one of those successful entrepreneurs who sold their company for millions that I was reading about on TechCrunch! But when I became a student, I discovered a whole new world of social enterprises, which was completely new to me. As a business analyst with a bachelor’s degree in Economics, I was convinced that the only goal of a company could be to maximize profit. However as I engaged with the Hult Prize and actually built a prototype of a company that combined delivering value to shareholders with making a social impact, I realized that I wanted to work for, and to create, more companies that could operate like that. Later that year I met my future co-founders, who were working on an academic project on robotics. Their goal was to treat robots as independent economic agents, giving them an identity, a wallet, and the ability to create contracts. This allowed the organization of really complex supply chains while making sure that the security of the whole robotics network stayed protected. I really loved their idea and we started a company, DCZD.tech, based on this research. We have built a decentralized IoT management platform, and I can now say that my dreams are coming true! We have completed pilot projects in entertainment, supply chain, and monitoring markets, but we choose to focus on environmental control as our target niche—using innovative technologies to solve the most pressing challenges we currently have. Why is it important to mitigate the effects of climate change? Climate change is expected to have unprecedented implications on where people can settle, grow food, build cities, and rely on functioning ecosystems for the services they provide. The Paris Agreement recognizes the central role of forests in achieving the goal of keeping temperature increase well below 2 °C through mitigation options that aim to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The United Nations’ UN-REDD Programme was established to empower countries to seize new investment opportunities that reduce net emissions of greenhouse gases through enhanced forest management. The UN-REDD Programme in action Problems with environmental programs However, a low level of trust in data is the major problem in environmental programs, especially in developing countries. This results in inefficiency, since investors often do not trust the environmental assets issued by these programs. The process of monitoring, reporting, and verifying greenhouse gas emissions or forest preservation efforts is a crucial component that allows environmental trading systems to operate effectively. However, these procedures often lack consistency, and simply do not provide enough information to make decisions regarding derivative security. But even more importantly, with the lack of established procedures, outright fraud can take place in some parts of the world which undermines environmental programs even further. How IoT Robotics controlled by Ethereum increase level of trust Robots don’t lie! By combining independent sensor networks with blockchain technology we can increase the efficiency of monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of environmental data, increasing the level of trust and attractiveness of assets. Existing MRV solutions by major auditors can cost around 50-100K USD and are usually a one-time annual event. But in order to guarantee the effectiveness of environmental programs, regular inspection is required. A permanent monitoring solution can use stationary IoT sensors or mobile robots to gather information on a regular basis. And the fact that commands are recorded in Ethereum smart contracts, and data is signed immediately after being collected, means we have a source of data that investors in environmental assets can trust. Continuous monitoring creates transparency: good for the investor, great for the environment What have we achieved already? Through a strategic alliance with DAO IPCI, we have already signed two contracts for Aboriginal forest monitoring as a part of the UN-REDD Programme. In summer 2019 we start the project in Papua New Guinea, where we deliver a drone monitoring solution that enables the environmental program operator to gather timely information about forest conditions and demonstrate this data to investors. This increases the attractiveness of REDD+ assets, attracting investors to countries that need them the most. Realization of this project opens markets across 64 countries that are members of the REDD+ initiative in South-East Asia, Africa, and Latin America. From there, we plan to expand to carbon credit markets by monitoring air pollution and water resource management. Our product was recognized as â€Å"Best innovation in IoT Development† at Bay Area DeveloperWeek and won the â€Å"Next Generation Security† award from Kaspersky Lab. We are excited to deliver the best IoT innovation to environmental markets to improve the effectiveness of climate change mitigation efforts!

Qualitative Analysis Lab - 2937 Words

Qualitative Analysis Lab Report Organic Chemistry Laboratory II ABSTRACT: The purpose of this lab was to separate and purify two unknown compounds, one solid and one liquid, from an ethereal solution using the techniques of chemically active extraction, vacuum filtration, simple distillation, and recrystallization. Then identifying information was compiled about these unknowns by obtaining experimental melting/boiling point ranges, and analyzing IR and proton/carbon NMR spectrums It was determined that the unknown solid’s identity was m-nitrobenzoic acid and the unknown liquid’s identity was 4,4-dimethyl-2-pentanone. The calculated percent recovery for the purified crystals was 20.75% INTRODUCTION: 2 The goal of this lab was to isolate†¦show more content†¦Vacuum filtration is able to separate the solid from the liquid. For a diagram of the set up of vacuum filtration see the figure below: Figure #2: The set up for a vacuum filtration apparatus.5 The liquid unknown can be purified through the technique of simple distillation. Simple distillation is used to purify a compound that is almost pure already. It takes advantage of the fact that liquids have varying boiling points, and in this lab can be used to evaporate off the organic solvent (which has a very low boiling point) that was still in the organic layer with the neutral component, leaving the neutral component by itself. In simple distillation vapor rises from the distillation flask and comes into contact with a thermometer that records its temperature and gives a starting point for the liquids boiling point range. The vapor passes through a condenser, which turns it back into a liquid and it is collected in the receiving flask. To see a diagram of a simple distillation apparatus set up see the figure below: Figure #3: The set up for a simple distillation apparatus.3 The next techniques in this lab were identification tactics to determine the identities of these purified, unknown compounds. One was already mentioned, which is recording the boiling point range of the unknown liquid.

Organizational Culture And Structure of Flight Centre †Free Samples

Question: Discuss about the Organizational Culture And Structure of Flight Centre. Answer: Flight Centre is a well-known travel agent in Australia offering the cheapest flight available to places domestically as well as international. It also provide other offers such as holiday packages to families and couples, hotel booking facility, travel insurance and many more. This has helped the company to gain a lot of name and fight competition in this competitive industry. However, the growth of the company also depends on a great way on the culture and structure it maintains in its organization. Thus, the company needs to maintain a certain type of structure and culture in its organization that can help them gain growth continuously. This paper discusses the role of organizational culture and structure and its presence in Flight Centre. Further, it analyses the relationship between organizational culture and structure by stating that whether it is intertwined or not. Organizational structure is a set of principles and rules that an organization chooses or formulates in order to carry out various activities in the organization. According to this structure, the works and responsibilities are distributed among various employees (Foss, Woll and Moilanen, 2013). This helps the organization to control the activities and coordinate in case of any issues. The structure in a company also enables the easy flow of information among various level within and outside the organization. Organizational structure is also pointed out as a hierarchical arrangement in the level of authorities, which the lower level of workers need to maintain. This hierarchical structure allows the organization to avoid unnecessary confusions and complexities in the organization (Zingg et. al 2015). Organizational culture is yet another important aspect of a company, which is crucial to its prosperity (Babnik et. al 2014). It is the system of values and beliefs followed in the organi zation that have a strong effect on the employees and every member of the organization. It is considered as an ecosystem or a flower garden where something worthy can grow if the equality of the soil and plant is good. Similarly, an organization will grow if there are good values embedded in the employees and managers (Carlos Pinho, Paula Rodrigues and Dibb 2014). Flight centre also maintain a unique organizational structure and culture in its workplace. This has helped in continuous growth of the company (Danisewicz, Reinhardt and Sowerbutts 2015). The business model maintained by the company is very different from others. Firstly, it believes in giving equal opportunity to each employee in the profit and other incentives of the company. However, incentives in the company are base on individual KPIs. The company also maintained a universal standard system for carrying out her work. The structure of the company is simple, transparent, and easily accessible by the employees. It also has village and tribes as integral a part of the structure (Flightcentre.ca 2017). However, the company also maintains a good and healthy culture in its organization. The culture they follow helps the employees to be happy at work. The company aims to offer a healthy and wealthy work environment to the people. It also offers dedicated learning, varied services, fina ncial support, balanced work time and many more to its employees. The company has also formulated some of its culture to make their customers happy while trawling. They understand the emotions of the travelers and thus offer the best in-house travel service for booking best flights for them. The company aims at three most important work cultures in its organization such as health life balance, personal finance and rewards for good work. The company has a health company called HealthWise Global to help guide the employees through good health programs. The financial team of the company is ready to offer good financial guide to the members and formulate a good financial plan. Lastly, it has rewards and recognition team to celebr8 the success of each employees. It also offers travel discounts t its employees with their families. Such workplace culture has helped the company to grow at a faster rate over the years of its existence (Flight Centre 2017). There is always a positive relationship between the organizational structure and culture. Both are intertwined in a way that failure to maintain any one thing wills result in a downfall of another. They are like a forest and tree where one is nothing without another. Organizational culture is considered as a wide concept in an organization (Schwartz 2013). However, it is seen that maintaining a culture cannot be possible without a well-planned organizational structure. For example, the financial help that Flight Centre provides to its people is not possible without a well-structured financial system in the company. A structured environment is the one where communication can flow easily from one level to another in the company. A failure to maintain that will obstruct the flow of communication and thus misbalances the culture that the company wants to maintain (Goetsch and Davis 2014). Thus, it is seen that the culture in the company can only spread is wing after getting a good suppor t beam from structure. However, sometime it can also happen that the company formulates its culture that it wants in its workplace and then think about the structure to carry out the planned culture. Planning the culture of the organization first is better because sometime these cultures are also influenced by the external factors. For example, government policies and laws influence organizational laws. Thus designing the culture prior to the structure can be a good move for the organization. However, from the above discussion it is seen that in any way organizational culture and structure is interdependent on each other (Carlos Pinho, Paula Rodrigues and Dibb 2014). From the above analysis it can be deduced that culture and structure of an organization is interrelated and influenced by each other, the culture designed by a company cannot be successful if it is not carried out in a structured manner. Structure on the other hand cannot be successful if it is not followed by a good culture. This is because lack of culture means lack of values among the employees, which will automatically ruin the structure of the organization.

Argument Essay Topics - Find Good Personal Argument Essay Topics

Argument Essay Topics - Find Good Personal Argument Essay TopicsIf you've been writing essays, and you're trying to come up with some arguments for your essay topics, you're probably dealing with a bit of frustration, because many of the ideas you begin to write down just don't seem to be quite right. It's quite common to have a hard time coming up with a good argument for a topic when the topic itself is so dull. However, what's needed is not just the argument, but the argument as it should be presented in an interesting way.How do you come up with essay topics that are interesting and original? The first thing you should realize is that while a topic that is interesting may not be particularly unique, it doesn't mean it can't be presented in a unique manner. In fact, some essay topics are written so simply that you may think they are of little use to readers.For example, let's look at the idea of an essay topic about a car. What would be exciting about this topic? Well, there are s everal different questions one can ask: Is there a 'how to' article? Is there a driving section?And what does it mean to own a classic car? Does owning a classic car mean owning a luxury car or a sports car?That last question is exactly what makes an argument stand out. This type of essay topic is interesting enough, yet it is presented in a way that will allow you to present an argument that has a very high level of appeal to readers.Even the most basic essay topics can use some ideas about presentation. For example, an essay topic about how to renovate a home can use the 'How to' keyword. That means if you had to describe the renovation process in a single sentence, it would take up a lot of time and could potentially lose a reader, especially if the work involved is considered a skill.When a reader's attention is taken away from the skill, they have less interest in reading the article. Therefore, the use of a 'How to' keyword is often important to make an argument stand out and provide compelling information. There are some great examples of how to create good arguments using simple, general terms.However, you can also use your own terms when you make your own topic. Take the idea of a national park ranger. You can use the term 'park ranger' without directly spelling out what the job entails, since the writer's intent isn't to explain how to do the job, but to explain the reasons why it is important.
