Classification of temperature fruits
Temperate fruit plants are those that grow in climates with distinct winter cold periods. They require chilling temperatures to break dormancy and initiate growth. Examples include apple, pear, stone fruits, berries, nuts, and cherries. These plants are classified based on factors like plant structure, fruit morphology, bearing habit, and growth pattern. Fruits are categorized as tree fruits, small fruits, or nuts. Classification helps identify relationships and suggest cultural requirements. Common temperate fruit types include pomes like apple; drupes like peach; and dry fruits like nuts.
Fruit set, growth & developmental stages of various fruits
Fruit set occurs after pollen fertilizes eggs in ovaries. Fertilized eggs form seeds which stimulate fruit growth. The final fruit form depends on contributing floral organs and their development.

History of taxonomyyyyy
Carl Linnaeus established the foundations of modern taxonomy in the 18th century with works like Systema Naturae and Species Plantarum which introduced binomial nomenclature. Over subsequent centuries, various scientists improved and developed taxonomic methods. Rules for botanical nomenclature were established in the 19th century to promote stability of scientific names. The development of evolutionary theory in the mid-19th century led to a shift from classification based only on observable characteristics to classifications attempting to reflect evolutionary relationships and phylogenies.
History of taxonomy
This document provides a history of taxonomy from ancient times through the modern era. It discusses how early ancient Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman scholars began classifying and organizing plants and animals. Key early taxonomists mentioned include Aristotle, Theophrastus, Dioscorides, and Pliny. It then covers the contributions of later taxonomists like Caesalpino, the Bauhin brothers, John Ray, and Joseph Pitton de Tournefort. The era of Carl Linnaeus is described as revolutionizing taxonomy through his introduction of binomial nomenclature. The document outlines how Linnaeus helped transform botany and zoology into scientific disciplines. It concludes with a discussion of developments like cl
The economy of ancient greek society was mixed
Ancient Greek society had a mixed economy based on agriculture and livestock farming. Farmers grew cereals and collected fruits and plants, engaging in both crop cultivation and animal husbandry. Land ownership also determined political structures, as in Athens where citizens were divided into classes based on their annual grain production. Farming methods depended on factors like the land, climate, and available labor. Over time population growth led to more intensive land use and increased agricultural production. Farmers worked small fields with family help and a few slaves or tools like plows. The agricultural calendar was divided into three seasons. While tools changed little, some variations reflected different tasks or local customs. Ancient Greeks honored Demeter as the protector of fields and crops.

This document provides a history of pharmacy through brief summaries of 24 key developments:
1) It begins with the earliest origins of pharmacy from prehistoric times when early humans first used plants and natural remedies.
2) It then discusses the earliest known records of organized pharmacy practice in ancient Babylonia around 2600 BC where medical practitioners served as priests, pharmacists, and physicians.
3) Chinese pharmacy is traced back to the emperor Shen Nung around 2000 BC who was credited with identifying medicinal properties of hundreds of herbs.
4) Major pharmaceutical records included the Papyrus Ebers from ancient Egypt around 1500 BC which described 700 medicinal drugs.
The document traces the evolution of pharmacy as a

CITRUS AS A COMPONENT OF THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET
Citrus are native to southeastern Asia, but are present in the Mediterranean basin for centuries. This group of species has reached great importance in some of the Mediterranean countries and, in the case of orange, mandarin and lemon trees, they found here soil and climatic conditions which allows them to achieve a high level of fruit quality, even better than in the regions where they came from. Citrus fruits are present in the diet of the peoples living on the Mediterranean basin, at least since the time of the Roman Empire. In the 20th century they became the main crop in various agricultural areas of the Mediterranean, playing an important role in the landscape, in the diet of the overall population, and also in international trade. They are present in the gardens of palaces and monasteries, but also in the courtyards and orchards of the poorest families. Their fruits are not only a refreshing dessert, but also a condiment, or even a major component of many dishes. Citrus fruits have well-documented nutritional and health benefits. They can actually help prevent and cure some diseases and, above all, they are essential in a balanced and tasty diet.
History of Plant Classification.pptx
This document provides a history of plant taxonomy and classification. It describes early systems developed by ancient Greek and Roman scholars like Aristotle, Theophrastus, and Dioscorides. During the Renaissance, herbals were produced by herbalists and early taxonomists like Caesalpino began developing classification systems based on plant morphology. The Bauhin brothers produced an important early work listing 6000 species. John Ray established species as the primary taxonomic rank. Joseph Pitton de Tournefort's system, based on floral characteristics, became influential until Carl Linnaeus developed his modern binomial nomenclature system focusing on plant sexuality.
History of soil fertility
1) The history of soil fertility and plant nutrition developed over thousands of years through early cultivation, experimentation, and the work of scientists and agronomists.
2) Early civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and China began improving soil fertility through practices like manuring, crop rotations, and green manures.
3) During the 17th-19th centuries, scientists like Van Helmont, Boyle, Tull, Liebig, and Lawes conducted experiments that improved understanding of plant nutrition and led to the development of commercial fertilizers.
4) Liebig established the concept of plant nutrients and minimum requirements, influencing modern fertilizer practice. Broadbalk field trials

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
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.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
