Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
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.

3. INTRODUCTION:
• Pyrimidine biosynthesis is the process by which cells generate pyrimidine
nucleotides, essential for DNA and RNA synthesis.
• The de novo synthesis pathway produces uridine monophosphate (UMP) from
simple precursors in six enzymatic steps. UMP is then converted to other
pyrimidine nucleotides, including cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and thymidine
triphosphate (dTTP).
• The salvage pathway recycles pyrimidine bases and nucleosides from degraded
RNA and DNA. Understanding pyrimidine biosynthesis is crucial for insights into
cellular metabolism, DNA replication, and gene expression.
4. DE- NOVO SYNTHESIS

NUCLEOTIDES
6. DE- NOVO SYNTHESIS OF PYRIMIDINES
(CYTOSINE AND THYMINE)
• Biosynthesis of pyrimidines is simple than that of purines.
• Aspartate,glutamine and bicarbonate contributes pyrimidinenucleus.
• Uridine monophosphate (UMP) also acts as precursor of CTP and dTTP.
• De- Novo synthesis of UMP is completed in 6 enzymatic steps from simple precursor.
• De- Novo synthesis of pyrimidines occur in cytosol of cells in all tissues.
7. STEP1: SYNTHESIS OF CARBAMOYL
PHOSPHATE
• With the hydrolysis of two
ATP molecules,bicarbonate
and amide nitrogen of
glutamine combine to form
carbamoyl phosphate in the
presence of enzyme
carbamoyl phosphate
synthestase II.
8. STEP 2: SYNTHESIS OF CARBAMOYL ASPARTATE
STEP 3: RING CLOSURE AND DIHYDROOROTATE
FORMATION
• Step2: carbamoyl phosphate reacts
with aspartate to yield carbamoyl
aspartate catalyzed by the enzyme
aspartate
transcarbamoylase(ATCase).
• Step 3: By the elimination
(Condensation reaction) of one
molecule of water , the carbamoyl
aspartate catalyzed to
Dihydroorotate.
9. STEP 4: OXIDATION OF
DIHYDROOROTATE
• Dihydroorotate is dehydrogenated to form orotate with
enzyme dihydroorotatedehydrogenase.
• In eukaryotes dihydroorotate dehydrogenase is located
in outer surface of inner mitochondrial membrane.All
other enzymes for pyrimidine biosynthesis are located in
cytosol.Inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase will
inhibit pyrimidine synthesis inT lymphocytes,thereby it
attenuate the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis.
Since the enzyme is not in cytosol,the oxidizing power
required for conversion of dihydroorotate is provided by
Quinone.
10. STEP 5: ACQUISITION OF RIBOSE PHOSPHATE
MOIETY
STEP 6: DECARBOXYLATION TO FORM UMP
11. • Step 5: Orotate reacts with PRPP to produce orotidine-5-
monophosphhate (OMP) with enzymes Orotate phosphoribosyl
transferase.
• Step 6: OMP undergoes decarboxylation with assistance of enzymes
OMP decarboxylase (ODCase) to form uridine monophosphate
(UMP).
12. SYNTHESIS OF UTP FROM UMP
• UMP is converted in two step kinase reaction with 2 molecules of ATP
13. SYNTHESIS OF CTP
• CTP is synthesized by animation of UTP by the enzyme CTP synthase.
• In animals amino group is donated by glutamine whereas in bacteria amino group is
donated directly by ammonia .
14. SYNTHESIS OF THYMINE
• The synthesis of thymidine begins with deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) which is
the product of the action of ribonucleotide reductase on UDP forming dUDP followed
its dephosphorylation to dUMP.
• Thymidylate synthetase utilizes an active folate derivative,N5,N10-methylene
tetrahydrofolate (THF),as the methyl group donor in the synthesis of dTMP. In the
process of thymidine synthesis theTHF derivative is converted to dihydrofolate, DHF.
• Conversion of DHF back to activeTHF require the action of dihydrofolate reductase,
DHFR. DHFR is the same enzyme that is required to convert dietary folate to DHF and
then to THF. Both thymidylate synthetase and DHFR are targets for anticancer drugs.
18. REGULATION OF PYRIMIDINE
SYNTHESIS
• Regulation of pyrimidine biosynthesis is a complex process that involves multiple
mechanisms to ensure proper control of nucleotide production.
• Feedback Inhibition:The end products of pyrimidine biosynthesis, UTP and
UDP, inhibit the enzyme CAD (carbamoyl-aspartate synthetase),which catalyzes
the first step of the pathway.This prevents excessive pyrimidine production.
• Hormonal Regulation:Hormones like insulin and glucagon play a role in
regulating nucleotide biosynthesis. Insulin stimulates pyrimidine synthesis, while
glucagon inhibits it.
• These regulatory mechanisms ensure that pyrimidine biosynthesis is balanced and
adjusted according to cellular needs, preventing excessive or insufficient nucleotide
production.
22. CONCLUSION
• In conclusion,pyrimidine biosynthesis is a vital cellular process that
plays a central role in the synthesis of nucleotides,DNA,and RNA.The
de novo biosynthesis pathway,which involves the conversion of
glutamine and aspartate to UMP,is tightly regulated to ensure proper
nucleotide production.
• Understanding the regulation of pyrimidine biosynthesis provides
valuable insights into cellular metabolism and has important
implications for the development of therapeutic strategies to modulate
nucleotide metabolism and treat related diseases.
