Introduction :
Antibiotics are antimicrobial agents produced naturally by other microbes (usually fungi or bacteria)
The first antibiotic was discovered in 1896 by Ernest Duchesne and in 1928 "rediscovered" by Alexander Fleming from the filamentous fungus Penicilium notatum.
The antibiotic substance, named penicillin, was not purified until the 1940s (by Florey and Chain), just in time to be used at the end of the second world war.
Penicillin was the first important commercial product produced by an aerobic, submerged fermentation
The following presentation is only for quick reference. I would advise you to read the theoretical aspects of the respective topic and then use this presentation for your last minute revision. I hope it helps you..!!
The heart of the fermentation or bioprocess technology is the Fermentor or Bioreactor. A bioreactor is basically a device in which the organisms are cultivated to form the desired products. it is a containment system designed to give right environment for optimal growth and metabolic activity of the organism.
A fermentor usually refers to the containment system for the cultivation of prokaryotic cells, while a bioreactor grows the eukaryotic cells (mammalian, insect cells, etc).

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
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.
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.

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.

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.

10. • Broad class of antibiotics, consisting of all antibiotic agents
that contains a β-lactam ring in their molecular structures.
• Examples include Penicillin, cephalosporin, monobactems,
Nocardins.
• Most β-lactam antibiotics work by inhibiting cell
wall biosynthesis in the bacterial organism
• Bacteria often develop resistance to β-lactam antibiotics by
synthesizing a β-lactamase, an enzyme that attacks the β-
lactam ring. To overcome this resistance, β-lactam antibiotics
are often given with β-lactamase inhibitors such as clavulanic
acid.

orthosomycins and various sugar derivatives.
• Any carbohydrate derivative that exhibits antibiotic activity.
• Vancomycin, a broad spectrum antibiotic consists of the sugar
vancosamine, two hydroxyxhlortyrosine moieties, three
phenylgycine derivatives, N-methyl leucine and aspartic acid.
• It is effective against gram positive organisms particularly
Staphylococci.
• However, it has adverse side effects and thus is used to treat
infections caused by pathogens which are resistant to other drugs
or patients who are hypersensitive to penicillin.
• No reistance to vancomycin have been registred yet.
25. • Oligosaccharide antibiotics consist of aminocyclohexanol moiety eg.
Deoxydtrepamine, streptidine which is glycosidically linked to other
amino sugars.
• Over 100 aminoglycosides are known
• Primarilly used against gram negative bacteria
• All aminoglycosides cause kidney damage and deafness as side
effects
• Example include streptomycin, kanamycin, tobramycin,
gentamycin and neomycin
• Aminoglycosides that are derived from bacteria
the Streptomyces genus are named with the suffix mycin, whereas
those that are derived from Micromonospora are named with the
suffix micin
• Mode of action is generally by inhibiting protein synthesis
26. • Aminoglycosides display concentration-dependent bactericidal
activity against "most gram-negative aerobic and facultative
anaerobic bacilli" apart from some bacilli and methicillin-resistant
staphylococci, but not against gram-negative anaerobes and most
gram-positive bacteria.
• The inhibition of protein synthesis is mediated through
aminoglycosides' energy-dependent, sometimes irreversible
binding, to the cytosolic, membrane-associated bacterial ribosome.
• Streptomycin binds to the S12 protien of small ribosome and causes
misreading of the code and hence inhibit protein synthesis.
• Some antibiotics also inhibit translocation reaction in peptide
synthesis.
• In addition they cause damage to the bacterial cell membrane.
27. • Produced in fermentor with volume upto 150,000 l.
• Optimal oxygen supply is required and temperatures are between
28-30○ C with the pH in the neutral range.
• The length of fermentation is between 4-7 days, depending on the
strain.
• As glucose is the precursor of all aminoglycosides, Glucose in
combination with starch or dextrin serves as the carbon source.
• Soy meal is an ideal nitrogen source because of its slow catabolism
• Most of the aminoglycoside antibiotics are excreated and are
present in the culture supernatant, from which they are removed
by adsorption to ion exchange columns.
• Cell bound aminoglycosides like gentamycin and fortimicin, must
first be released by acidification to pH 2-2.5 with H2SO4
