Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.

4. Cells
All living things are made up of cells.
The smallest are so small you can only see them with a
microscope.
Different cells have different functions.
Most living things are made up of
many types of different cells but some, like
bacteria, have just one cell.
6. Animal Kingdom: invertebrates

8. Animal kingdom: vertebrates
How do animals breathe?
With LUNGS With GILLS
Both with LUNGS and GILLSMammals Birds Fish
Reptiles
Amphibians
Animals take oxygen from the air with LUNGS and from the water with GILLS.
9. Animal kingdom: vertebrates
How do animals reproduce?
Some animals are born directly from their mother: VIVIPAROUS.
Some others lay eggs: OVIPAROUS.
Mammals are viviparous. The others are oviparous.
10. Animal kingdom: vertebrates
What do animals eat?
Some animals are carnivores, some are herbivores and others are omnivores.

11. Plant kingdom
How do plants reproduce?
Some plants have sexual reproduction: pollen goes from the stamen to the pistil
of the same plant or a different one.
Some plants have asexual reproduction: there are no flowers or fertilisation.
12. Plant Kingdom
How do plants reproduce?
Some plants have sexual reproduction: pollen goes from the stamen to the pistil
of the same plant or a different one.
Some plants have asexual reproduction: there are no flowers or fertilisation.
Runners Tubers Both sexual and asexual
13. Plant Kingdom
Why is photosynthesis imortant?
Every animal needs oxygen to live.
Plants produce oxygen and consume carbon dioxide.
14. Plants and animals living together
animals from the same species POPULATION
different populations in one place COMMUNITY
the place they live HABITAT
habitat + community = ECOSYSTEM
15. How can you look after living things?
We shouldn’t climb trees, pick up flowers, remove animals from their habitats,
make fires in the forest or touch wild animals.
We should feed birds in the winter.
