Introduction: Water plays an important role in life, production and ecology. Water is closely related to cities. Water is an important element of urban planning and construction, such as market and well, geomantic treasure land, garden, urban water security. In urban planning and construction, the relationship between water and water should be well handled to ensure the safety of water.

Introduction: The next Smart Urban Futures conference will be held in Melbourne on 4 and 5 May 2023. This event will explore the connections between the design of cities and how safe, inclusive and environmentally friendly they are. How do we facilitate walking, cycling and public transport in the context of a car-oriented society? How do we build a city that does not exclude marginalised groups? And how do we engage decision makers and diverse communities to sell positive change?

Introduction: This course is based on Danny Friedman’ book, namely Machine Learning from Scratch-Derivations in Concept and Code. It covers the building blocks of the most common methods in machine learning. It will provide a conceptual overview of machine learning with the theory behind its methods, and focuses on the bare bones of machine learning algorithms. Its main purpose is to provide students with the ability to construct these algorithms independently. There are 7 parts, including ordinary linear regression, linear regression extensions, discriminative classification, generative classification, decision trees, tree ensemble methods and neural networks. These contents are designed for readers looking to learn new machine learning algorithms or understand algorithms at a deeper level.

Introduction: Desiccation of tree foliage is a key factor in the spread of fires. However, during droughts, changes in the water content of forest canopies remain poorly understood. Scientists from INRAE and the CNRS have developed the first model to predict content during drought and heat waves. Their results, published in the journal New Phytologist, could enable the development of fire danger forecasting models that include the role of vegetation in their calculations.
