The document summarizes water absorption by plant roots. It discusses that roots, specifically the younger portions near the tips, absorb water and minerals. More developed root systems with many tips favor higher absorption. Most water is absorbed by the younger parts of roots, including root hairs. Water moves through plants via apoplastic and symplastic pathways, entering roots through both active absorption requiring energy and passive absorption through transpiration pull. A variety of external factors like soil water availability, temperature, oxygen, and salt concentration can influence the rate of water absorption.

Soils can process and hold considerable amount of water. They can take in water, and will keep doing so until they are full, or until the rate at which they can transmit water into and through the pores is exceeded. Some of this water will steadily drain through the soil (via gravity) and end up in the waterways and streams, but much of it will be retained, despite the influence of gravity. Much of this retained water can be used by plants and other organisms, thus contributing to land productivity and soil health.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Water absorption by Plant
The main part of the plant which is concerned with water absorption is the root.
The depth deep root system, whereas, some are surface feeders associated with
shallow root system.
The absorption of water does not take place from entire surface of root.
Only younger portions near the tip are active in absorption of water and mineral
substances. More number of tips in roots favour higher absorption.
Extensively developed root system is associated with higher absorption rates in
view of more number of active tips in roots.
Most of the water absorption is carried out by the younger part of the roots. Just
behind the growing tip of a young root is the piliferous region, made up of
hundreds of projections of the epidermal tissue, the root hairs.
3. Terms contacted with soil water
Soil water: Soil is a great reservoir of water for plants.
Run away water: After a heavy rainfall or excess irrigation some part of water
drains away along slopes which is not available for plant growth.
Gravitational water: Some part of water percolates downward through larger
pores between soil particles under influence of gravitational force till it reaches the
water table, not available for plant growth.
Hygroscopic water: Water adsorbed on the surface of soil colloids in the form of
tightly held thin film. Not available for plant growth.
Capillary water: Water fills the spaces between non-colloidal smaller soil
particles and forms films around them, available for plant growth.
Chemically combined water: Water bounds to soil minerals by strong chemical
bonds, not available for plants.
4.
5. Wilting coefficient or wilting point: Amount of moisture left in soil after a plant has wilted.
This is expressed as a percentage of dry weight of soil. It is lowest for sandy soil, high for loam
soils and still higher for clayey soils. Osmotic pressure at permanent wilting becomes 15
atmosphere.
Field capacity : Much of the rain water is retained by soil particles against the force of
gravity and makes the soil wet. The amount of water which soil retains after the excess amount
of water is removed is also called field capacity.
Water table: At some depth in soil all the pore spaces are filled with water. If a hole is bored
in the soil water will appear at this point.
6. Hollard: Hollard is the total water present in the field. “Hol” means water in
greek.
Chresard : Out of this water, the water available to the plants (usually the
capillary water) is called chresard. “Chreo” means need in greek.
Echard: Echard is the amount of water, which is usually not available to the
plants.
Hollard = Chresard + Echard
Whereas gravitational water is the water which has entered the water table
under the influence of gravity and hygroscopic water is the water that presents in a
thin film around soil particles and is not available to plants.

Note: Root mucilage is a part of a wider secrete from plant roots known as root exudate. Plant roots secrete a variety of
organic molecules into the surrounding soil, such as proteins, enzymes, DNA, sugars and amino acids, which are the
building blocks of life. This collective secretion is known as root exudate. This root exudate prevents root infection
from bacteria and fungi, helps the roots to penetrate through the soil, and can create a micro-climate that is beneficial to
the plant.
9. In plants, following two pathways are involved in the water movement.
They are:
(1) Apoplastic pathway (Non-living pathway)
(2) Symplastic (Living pathway) and Transmembrane pathway
1. Apoplastic pathway: The apoplastic movement of water in plants occurs
exclusively through the cell wall without crossing any membranes. The cortex
receive majority of water through apoplastic way as loosely bound cortical cells do
not offer any resistance. But the movement of water in root beyond cortex
apoplastic pathway is blocked by casparian strip present in the endodermis.
2. Symplastic and Transmembrane pathway : The movement of water from one
cell to other cell through the plasmodesmata is called the symplastic pathway of
water movement. This pathway comprises the network of cytoplasm of all cells
inter-connected by plasmodermata.
10. In plant roots, water movement from soil till the endodermis occurs
through apoplastic pathway i.e. only through cell wall. The casparian strips in the
endodermis are made-up of wax -like substance suberin which blocks water and
solute movement through the cell wall of the endodermis. As a result water is
forced to move through cell membranes and may cross the tonoplast of vacuole.
This movement of water through cell membranes is called transmembrane pathway
Note: Symplast a living portion formed by the continuous network of interconnected plant
cell protoplasts.
Note: Apoplast a continuous network of channels formed by the dead portions of the cell
such as cell wall and intercellular spaces.
13. Following schematic diagram showing the apoplastic and symplastic pathway of water
movement through root:
With the help of the following schematic arrow flow chart, you can understand the
path of water from soil to root xylem.
14. Plants typically absorb water in one of two ways:
1.Active absorption of water
2. Passive absorption of water
1.Active absorption of water:
This type of water absorption necessitates the use of metabolic energy by
root cells to perform metabolic activities such as respiration. Water absorption
occurs in two ways in plants: osmotic absorption and non-osmotic absorption.
Osmotic active absorption of water: This type of water absorption occurs via
osmosis, with water moving into the root xylem across the concentration gradient of
the root cell. Because of the high concentration of solute in the cell sap and the low
concentration of the surrounding soil, osmotic movement occurs.
Non-osmotic active absorption of water: Water absorption occurs here when
water enters the cell from the soil against the cell’s concentration gradient. This
necessitates the use of metabolic energy via the respiration process.
15. As a result, as the rate of respiration increases, so will the rate of water
absorption. Auxin is a growth hormone that increases the rate of respiration in plants,
which increases the rate of water absorption.
2. Passive absorption of water
The use of metabolic energy is not required for this type of water absorption.
Absorption occurs as a result of metabolic activity such as transpiration. Passive
absorption is the type of water absorption that occurs as a result of transpiration pull.
This creates tension or force, which aids in the upward movement of water into the
xylem sap. The higher the transpiration rate, the greater the water absorption.
16. External factors affecting absorption of water:
1. Available soil water: Sufficient amount of water should be present in the soil in
such form which can easily be absorbed by the plants. Usually the plants absorb
capillary water i.e water present in films in between soil particles other forms of
water in the soil eg. Hygroscopic water, combined water, gravitational water etc. is
not easily available to plants. Increased amount of water in the soil beyond a certain
limit results in poor aeration of the soil which retards metabolic activities of root
cells like respiration and hence, the rate of water absorption is also retarded.
2. Concentration of soil solution: Increased concentration of soil solution (due to
presence of more salts in the soil) results in higher OP. If OP of soil solution will
become higher than the OP of cell sap in root cells, the water absorption particularly
the osmotic absorption of water will be greatly suppressed. Therefore, absorption of
water is poor in alkaline soils and marshes.
17. 3. Soil air Absorption of water is retarded in poorly aerated soils because in such
soils deficiency of O2 and consequently the accumulation of CO2 will retard the
metabolic activities of roots like respiration. This also inhibits rapid growth and
elongation of the roots so that they are deprived of fresh supply of water in the soil.
Water logged soils are poorly aerated and hence, are physiologically dry. They are
not good for absorption of water.
4. Soil temperature Increase in soil temperature up to about 30°C favours water
absorption. At higher temperature water absorption is decreased. At low temperature
also water absorption decreased so much so that at about 0°C, it is almost decreased.
This is probably because at low temperature.
1. The viscosity of water and protoplasm is increased
2. Permeability of cell membrane is decreased
3. Metabolic activity of root cells are decreased
4. Root growth and elongation of roots are checked.
Imbibition is the process of absorption of water by solid substances through their surface. Imbibition is responsible for the swelling of seeds when put in soil, or when mature seeds are soaked in water at room temperature. Also, during monsoon, wooden door swell up due to imbibition.
