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.

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.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

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.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
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).

Aromatic Amines
In aromatic amines, the amino group is
bonded to a benzene ring.
Parent compound is called aniline.

Heterocyclic Amines
When naming a cyclic amine the nitrogen is
assigned position number 1.
11. Chapter 19 11
Structure of Amines
Nitrogen is sp3
hybridized with a lone pair of
electrons.
The angle is less than 109.5º.
12. Chapter 19 12
Interconversion of Chiral Amines
Nitrogen may have three different groups and
a lone pair, but enantiomers cannot be
isolated due to inversion around N.
13. Chapter 19 13
Chiral Amines
Amines whose chirality stems from the
presence of chiral carbon atoms.
Inversion of the nitrogen is not relevant
because it will not affect the chiral carbon.
14. Chapter 19 14
Chiral Amines (Continued)
Quaternary ammonium salts may have a chiral
nitrogen atom if the four substituents are different.
Inversion of configuration is not possible because
there is no lone pair to undergo nitrogen inversion.
15. Chapter 19 15
Chiral Cyclic Amines
If the nitrogen atom is contained in a small ring, for
example, it is prevented from attaining the 120° bond
angle that facilitates inversion.
Such a compound has a higher activation energy for
inversion, the inversion is slow, and the enantiomers
may be resolved.
16. Chapter 19 16
Boiling Points
N—H less polar than O—H.
Weaker hydrogen bonds, so amines will have a lower
boiling point than the corresponding alcohol.
Tertiary amines cannot hydrogen-bond, so they have
lower boiling points than primary and secondary
amines.
17. Chapter 19 17
Solubility and Odor
Small amines (< 6 Cs) are soluble in water.
All amines accept hydrogen bonds from water
and alcohol.
Branching increases solubility.

18. Chapter 19 18
Basicity of Amines
Lone pair of electrons on nitrogen can
accept a proton from an acid.
Aqueous solutions are basic to litmus.
Ammonia pKb = 4.74
Alkyl amines are usually stronger bases
than ammonia.
Increasing the number of alkyl groups
decreases solvation of ion, so 2° and 3°
amines are similar to 1° amines in basicity.
20. Chapter 19 20
Base-Dissociation Constant of
Amines
An amine can abstract a proton from water, giving an
ammonium ion and a hydroxide ion.
The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the
base-dissociation constant for the amine,
symbolized by Kb.
21. Chapter 19 21
Base Dissociation of an Amine
Alkyl groups stabilize the ammonium ion,
making the amine a stronger base.
22. Chapter 19 22
Alkyl Group Stabilization of
Amines
Alkyl groups make the nitrogen a stronger
base than ammonia.
24. Chapter 19 24
Protonation of Pyrrole
When the pyrrole nitrogen is protonated,
pyrrole loses its aromatic stabilization.
Therefore, protonation on nitrogen is
unfavorable and pyrrole is a very weak base.
25. Chapter 19 25
Hybridization Effects
Pyridine is less basic than aliphatic amines,
but it is more basic than pyrrole because it
does not lose its aromaticity on protonation.

Two peaks for 1° amine, one for 2°.
31. Chapter 19 31
NMR Spectroscopy of Amines
Nitrogen is not as electronegative as oxygen,
so the protons on the α-carbon atoms of
amines are not as strongly deshielded.
33. Chapter 19 33
Alpha Cleavage of Amines
The most common fragmentation of amines is
α-cleavage to give a resonance-stabilized
cation—an iminium ion.
37. Chapter 19 37
Electrophilic Substitution
of Aniline
—NH2 is strong activator, ortho- and
para-directing.
Multiple alkylation is a problem.
Protonation of the amine converts the
group into a deactivator (—NH3
+
).
Attempt to nitrate aniline may burn or
explode.
38. Chapter 19 38
Protonation of Aniline in
Substitution Reactions
Strongly acidic reagents protonate the amino group,
giving an ammonium salt.
The —NH3
+
group is strongly deactivating (and meta-
allowing).
Therefore, strongly acidic reagents are unsuitable for
substitution of anilines.
39. Chapter 19 39
Electrophilic Substitution

Strongly deactivated by electronegative N.
Substitutes in the 3-position.
Electrons on N react with electrophile.

Nucleophilic Substitution
of Pyridine
Deactivated toward electrophilic attack.
Activated toward nucleophilic attack.
Nucleophile will replace a good leaving group in the
2- or 4-position.
43. Chapter 19 43
Mechanism for
Nucleophilic Substitution
Attack at the 3-position does not have the
negative charge on the nitrogen, so
substitution at the 3-position is not observed.

This reaction is a nucleophilic acyl
substitution.
47. Chapter 19 47
Acylation of Aromatic Amines
When the amino group of aniline is acetylated, the
resulting amide is still activating and ortho, para-
directing.
Acetanilide may be treated with acidic (and mild
oxidizing) reagents to further substitute the ring.
The acyl group can be removed later by acidic or
basic hydrolysis.

Solution
49. Chapter 19 49
We can control the nucleophilicity of aniline’s amino group by converting it to an amide, which is still

Streptococci use p-aminobenzoic acid to synthesize
folic acid, an essential compound for growth and
reproduction. Sulfanilamide cannot be used to make
folic acid.
Bacteria cannot distinguish between sulfanilamide
and p-aminobenzoic acid, so it will inhibit their growth

gives an amide with no tendency toward
overacylation.
Reduction of the amide by LiAlH4 gives the
corresponding amine.

Synthesis of 2º Amines by
Acylation–Reduction
Acylation–reduction converts a primary amine
to a secondary amine.
LiAlH4, followed by hydrolysis, can easily
reduce the intermediate amide to the amine.

Synthesis of 3º Amines by
Acylation–Reduction
Acylation–reduction converts a secondary
amine to a tertiary amine.
Reduction of the intermediate amide is
accomplished with LiAlH4.

Show how to synthesize N-ethylpyrrolidine from pyrrolidine using acylation–reduction.
This synthesis requires adding an ethyl group to pyrrolidine to make a tertiary amine. The acid chloride
needed will be acetyl chloride (ethanoyl chloride). Reduction of the amide gives N-ethylpyrrolidine.
Compare this synthesis with Solved Problem 19-5(b) to show how reductive amination and acylation–
reduction can accomplish the same result.

The Gabriel Synthesis
The phthalimide ion is a strong nucleophile,
displacing the halide or tosylate ion from a good SN2
substrate.
Heating the N-alkyl phthalimide with hydrazine
displaces the primary amine, giving the very stable
hydrazide of phthalimide.

, is a good nucleophile.
React azide with unhindered 1° or 2° halide
or tosylate (SN2).
Alkyl azides are explosive! Do not isolate.

The Hofmann Rearrangement of
Amides
In the presence of a strong base, primary amides
react with chlorine or bromine to form shortened
amines, with the loss of the carbonyl carbon atom.
This reaction, called the Hofmann rearrangement, is
used to synthesize primary and aryl amines.
