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.

Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion
Invite Audience: Open the floor for any questions or further discussion on the topic.
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.
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.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

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.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
2. OBJECTIVES
ANXIETY
– Natural response and a necessary warning adaptation in humans.
– Pathologic disorder when it is excessive and uncontrollable,
requires no specific external stimulus, and manifests with a wide
range of physical and affective symptoms as well as changes in
behavior and cognition disorder.
DEFINITION
3. OBJECTIVES
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Social Phobia
• Panic Disorder
• Agoraphobia
• Specific Phobia

TYPES OF ANXIETY
4. OBJECTIVES
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
– Is characterized by at least 6 months of persistent and excessive anxiety and
worry.
• Social Phobia
– Is characterized by clinically significant anxiety provoked by exposure to
certain types of social or performance situations, often leading to avoidance
behaviors.
• Panic Disorder
– Severe feelings of doom that cause both mental and physical symptoms that
can be so intense that some people become hospitalized, worried that
something is dangerously wrong with their health.
– characterized by two things:
• Panic attacks.
• Fear of getting panic attacks.
TYPES OF ANXIETY
5. OBJECTIVES
• Agoraphobia
– Is anxiety about, or avoidance of, places or situations from which escape might
might be difficult (or embarrassing) or in which help may not be available in
the event of having a Panic Attack or panic-like symptoms
• Specific Phobia
– People with a specific phobia experience extreme anxiety and fear if exposed
to a particular feared object or situation. Common phobias include fear of
flying, spiders and other animals, heights or small spaces.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
– Is characterized by the re-experiencing of an extremely traumatic event
accompanied by symptoms of increased arousal and by avoidance of stimuli
associated with the trauma.
TYPES OF ANXIETY
6. OBJECTIVES
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Compulsions and obsessions are similar, but exhibit themselves in
different ways:
• Obsessions:
– thought based
– Causes mark anxiety or distressed
• Compulsions:
– behavior based.
– Neutralizes anxiety
TYPES OF ANXIETY
7. ETIOLOGY
• Genetic factors
• Environmental factors
(early childhood trauma, traumatic social experience)
• Known or Unrecognized medical condition
• Substance-induced anxiety disorder
(over-the-counter medications, herbal medications, substances
of abuse)
8. EPIDEMIOLOGY
UNITED STATES STATISTICS
• Social phobia is the most common anxiety disorder;
• it has an early age of onset— age 11 years -50% & by age 20 years -80%
According to: Epidemiological Catchment Area (ECA) study
and National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) study
• 2.3-2.7% for panic disorder
• 4.1-6.6% for generalized anxiety disorder
• 2.3-2.6% for OCD
• 1-9.3% for PTSD
• 2.6-13.3% for social phobia.
Further, the NCS reported the following lifetime (and 30-day) prevalence estimates:
6.7% (and 2.3%) for agoraphobia, 11.3% (and 5.5%) for simple (ie, specific) phobia, and
13.3% (and 4.5%) for social phobia
9. EPIDEMIOLOGY
International statistics
• Cross-national study - prevalence of panic disorder found lifetime prevalence rates
ranging from 0.4% in Taiwan to 2.9% in Italy.
• Cross-cultural study - prevalence of OCD found lifetime prevalence rates ranging
from 0.7% in Taiwan to 2.5% in Puerto Rico.
• In some Far East cultures, individuals with social phobia may develop fears of being
offensive to others rather than fears of being embarrassed.
Prevalence of anxiety disorders by race
• The ECA study found no difference in rates of panic disorder among white, African
American, or Hispanic populations in the United States.
• Some studies have found higher rates of PTSD in minority populations.

Adapted from Kessler et al, 1994.
11. EPIDEMIOLOGY
Age distribution for anxiety disorders
Anxiety. Age of onset for anxiety disorders based on specific anxiety disorder type.
15. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Major mediators of the symptoms (CNS) of anxiety disorders:
Norepinephrine
Serotonin,
Dopamine
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)
Other neurotransmitter : Corticotropin-releasing factor *
• The most commonly considered are the serotoninergic and
noradrenergic neurotransmitter systems.
under activation
over activation
16. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Disruption of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system has also been
implicated because of the response of many of the anxiety-spectrum disorders to
treatment with benzodiazepines
GABA = Glutamate=impact anxiety response
• There has also been some interest in the role of corticosteroid regulation and its
relation to symptoms of fear and anxiety. Corticosteroids might increase or
decrease the activity of certain neural pathways, affecting not only behavior under
stress but also the brain's processing of fear-inducing stimuli.
• Although a genetic predisposition to developing an anxiety disorder is
likely, environmental stressors clearly play a role in varying degrees. All of the
disorders are affected in some way by external cues and how they are processed
and reacted to.
21. INVESTIGATIONS
No biologic markers are specific enough at this time to detect anxiety early, and
no research shows that current medications prove efficacious in preventing these
disorders.
• It is therefore important to screen for specific risk factors:
o strong family psychiatric history
o concurrent substance abuse.
Efforts since the 1990s have improved the diagnosis of these disorders, but
the overall quality of care provided to patients remains substandard and CBT
continues to be underused.
22. INVESTIGATIONS
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• Other important causes in the differential include medication-induced anxiety:
• Due to epinephrine or other sympathomimetic
• Theophylline or other neurostimulant bronchodilators,
• Analgesics containing caffeine,
• Corticosteroids,
• Antivirals
• Migraine
• Seizure disorders
• other CNS-based disorders
• Sleep disorders such as restless legs syndrome, sleep apnea, and periodic
limb movement.
• Heroin abuse
23. NATURAL HISTORY
Levels of anxiety
• Mild Anxiety
• Moderate Anxiety
• Severe Anxiety
• Panic
• Anxiety Disorder
Complications
Depression
(which often occurs with anxiety disorder)
Substance abuse
Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
Digestive or bowel problems
Headaches
Suicide
Poor quality of life
24. NATURAL HISTORY
Anxiety and the risk of death in older men and
women
• An association between anxiety disorders and subsequent mortality was
found for men only.
• Older men with diagnosed anxiety disorders had 87% higher risk of
mortality over 7 years of follow-up. The associations between anxiety and
mortality in men remained after adjustment for comorbid depression, the
explanatory variables (activity, smoking, drinking, body mass index) and
confounders (age, psychiatric treatment, functional limitations and chronic
diseases, including heart disease and stroke).
• In women with anxiety disorders no association was found with
subsequent mortality.
The British Journal of Psychiatry Oct 2004, 185 (5) 399-404; DOI: 10.1192/bjp.185.5.399
25. MANAGEMENT
• Identification of stress and trigger factors
– Identify the problem. When you have identified the situations that are contributing to
your anxiety, write down the problem and be very specific in your description, includin
what is happening, where, how, with whom, why, and what you would like to change
– Come up with as many options as possible for solving the problem, and consider the
likely chances that these will help you overcome your problem.
– Select your preferred option.
– Develop a plan for how to try out the option selected and then carry it out.
– If this option does not solve the problem remember that there are other options to try
– Go back to the list and select your next preferred option.
• Breathing exercises
• Thought management
• Lifestyle changes
27. Treatment of Anxiety Disorders
Treatment usually consists of a combination of
pharmacotherapy and/or psychotherapy.
• DOC: Antidepressant agents are the drugs
of choice
• Benzodiazepines
• Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)
• Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
• Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
28. PROGNOSIS
• Today, the majority of people with panic
disorder and OCD improve significantly within
weeks or months of getting proper treatment.
The same is true for people with phobias. And
many people with PTSD and generalized anxiety
disorder also make substantial improvement
with treatment.
