DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

39. Problems encountered for FPARin 2014
• Drought prolonging until September
• There were changing family member to attend training.
• Some NGOs and projects give attendance fee for farmer
meeting or training at community.
• Farmers do not actively participate in collection data from field
experiments.
• Knowledge and facilitation skills for DT and FT
• Late advanced money for FPAR
40. Lesson learnt from FPAR in 2014
• It would be difficult to select good fields for FPAR if
starting late.
• Quality of FPAR is depending on facilitation skills and
technical knowledge of trainers.
• The number of participants at FPAR is more If the village
chief attend FPAR,
• Good experimental site and active cooperation farmer
selected will contribute to the successfulness of FPAR.
• If the identified local problems were considered and put
for experiments, farmers would much interested and
participated in observing field experiment regularly.
41. • It would be difficult to differentiate SRI and conventional
plots if both plot put in the same main plot.
• There was an observation that old age farmers pay less
attention in observing field experiment as compared to the
young.
• The quality of FPAR would be better if LMU and PMU team
provide backstopping visit regularly.
• It would be easy for farmers to learn and compare if the
experiment simply designed (single factor and single
replication)
• If duration of each training take over than 2h:30 minute,
farmers would pay less attention to the training (affect to
their daily works especially for women).
42. Solution for FPAR in 2015
The FPAR should start as earlier as possible especially the
selection of experimental field and cooperation farmer.
At the beginning of FPAR, facilitators have to discuss the local
practices and identify gaps for technical improvement.
The technical problems identified have to be prioritized and put
for experiment.
Only SRI demo plot ( about 1000m2 follow by one simple specific
comparison experiment (single factor and single replication
experiment) will be designed for FPAR in 2015.
Village chief should be invited for FPAR training.
Duration of training at FPAR should be minimized but more and
more focusing on the key points.
43. 5. Oversea Study tour for LMU, DT and FT
• In 2014, one oversea study tour to visit Thailand was
organized for PMU , LMU and Farmer Trainers (10people).
• It was very important for sharing experience of project
implementation among partner countries. All participants
reported that they learnt a lot from this study tour. The
result from study tour contributed to the improvment of
FPAR in Cambodia
44. • In 2014, three provincial reflection and evaluation workshops were organized to share
experience and result and prepare plan for next year. Relevant stakeholders were invited.
6. Provincial reflection and evaluation workshop
45.
46. 7. National review and planning workshop
• The National Review and Planning Workshop was
organized on 28-29 May 2015 involving 46 participants
(10 women).
• The purpose of the National Review and Planning
Workshop is to summary the results of FPAR
implementation in last wet season 2014 and plan for
wet season 2015
47. Activitiesproposed for 2015

• Request to have office material and expense
for LMU office
• Increase allowance for DT and FT
• Increase cost of snack from 10$ to 15$ per
day/class since the price of food increased.
