Genetic and environmental factors both contribute to variation. Genetic factors include crossing over, independent assortment, and random fertilization during sexual reproduction. Environmental factors act from outside the organism and include nutrients, temperature, pH, water, sunlight, and other stimuli. Mutations, whether chromosomal or in genes, also introduce variation that organisms pass on through generations. Variation within a species increases the chances of survival and reproductive success.
Discuss the methods Mendel utilized in his research that led to his success in understanding the process of inheritance
The science community ignored the paper, possibly because it was ahead of the ideas of heredity and variation accepted at the time. In the early 1900s, 3 plant biologists finally acknowledged Mendel’s work. Unfortunately, Mendel was not around to receive the recognition as he had died in 1884.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

5. The effects of genetic factors
• CROSSING OVER
– An exchange of portion of
chromatids between homologous
chromosomes.
– During Prophase I.
– Point of crossover are called
chiasmata.
– Enables maternal & paternal
alleles to mix.
6. • INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
– During Metaphase I the bivalents
of homologous chromosomes can line
up in any orientation on the
equator of the spindle.
– The number of possible
orientations = the number of pairs
of chromosomes.
– Human, 23 pairs = 223 (8,388,608
combination) even in the absence
of crossing over.
– The maternal & paternal
chromosomes are mixed up in the
gamete.
7. • RANDOM FERTILISATION
–Two gametes fuse to form a
zygote
–Any of the numerous male
gametes can fertilise any
of the female gametes
every zygote is
genetically unique.

9. N u t r ie n t s
• Influence their growth.
• Identical twins may differ in size &
ability to fight off diseases due to
different diets.
• Lack of certain nutrients can lead to
various diseases.
10. Light
• In a few varieties of corn, a
red pigment develops only in
parts of plant that is exposed
to sunlight.
• The darkening of human skin
when exposed to light shows a
change of phenotype due to an
environmental factors.
11. pH
• The plant Hydrangea macrophylla has
either pink / blue flowers.
• Flowers colour is determined by soil pH.
(acidic = blue, alkaline = pink)
12. MUTATION
• A spontaneous change in the
genetic material (DNA) of a
cell or organism.
• Two types :
a) Chromosomal mutation
b) Gene mutation
13. • May occur in somatic cell or
gametes.
• Gametes inherited from
generation to generation
• Somatic cells not passed on to
the next generation.
14. CHROMOSOMAL MUTATION
• Occurs when the structure of a
whole chromosome / set of
chromosomes is altered in some
way.
• DELETION : when a chromosome
breaks in two places & the section in
the middle is lost as the part rejoin.
16. • INVERSION : when a chromosome
breaks in two places & the middle
piece is reinserted with the sequence
of genes reversed.
17. • TRANSLOCATION : when a section
of one chromosome breaks off &
becomes attached to another
chromosome.
• DUPLICATION : when a section of
chromosome is copied twice.
18.
19. • Another kind of chromosome abnormality is
caused by the addition / loss of one @ more
whole chromosomes non-disjunction.
• When pairs of chromosomes fail to separate
during meiotic division. some gametes
get both chromosomes while others receive
none.
• Examples of chromosomal mutation :
Down’s syndrome, Klinefelter’s syndrome &
Turner’s syndrome.
20. GENE MUTATION
• A change in the base sequence of
DNA.
• ADDITION
– When an extra nucleotide sequence is
inserted into the chain.
• DUPLICATION
– When a portion of a nucleotide chain
is repeated.
21. • DELETION (β-thalassaemia)
– When a portion of the nucleotide
chain is removed from the sequence.
• INVERSION
– When a nucleotide sequence separates
from the chain, then rejoins its
original position but in an inverted
manner.
• SUBSTITUTION (sickle-cell anaemia)
– When one of the nucleotides is
replaced by another which has a
different nitrogenous base.
22. EXAMPLES OF GENE
MUTATION
• Sickle-cell anaemia
– Incorrect a.a. in haemoglobin.
– RBC to become sickle-shape low
binding capacity for oxygen die
• Cystic fibrosis
– Produce excessively thick & sticky
mucus closes the lungs & pancreas
impaired breathing & digestion
– Production of salty sweat upsets
the balance of minerals

• The variable traits improve an

• A better chance that some of the
individuals could be resistant to the
