Grassland by Morgan & Riley
A biome is a large geographic area with similar plant and animal life. Grasslands biomes are found in parts of Africa, India, North America, Australia and South America. Grasslands have a dry, hot climate with temperatures between 40-100 degrees and annual precipitation of 10-35 inches. Common grassland plants like purple coneflower, buffalo grass and big blue stem have deep roots to absorb moisture during droughts. Typical grassland animals include cheetahs, elephants, lions, kangaroos and zebras, with zebras having stripes that confuse predators.
Tropical rainforest
Tropical rainforests are found near the equator where hot, moist air rises and dumps rainfall. They cover about 6% of the Earth's surface, mostly in South America and Brazil. Rainforests have high rainfall, temperature, and humidity year-round and exhibit extremely high biodiversity, containing 40-75% of the world's species. However, tropical rainforests are one of the most threatened ecosystems due to large-scale habitat destruction from human activities like logging and agriculture.
Tropical Rainforest
A typical patch of rainforest contains over 1,500 flowering plants, 750 tree species, 400 bird species and 150 butterfly species. Rainforests provide important resources like medicines, timber, and food, with 70% of plants used to treat cancer found exclusively in rainforests. More than 1 billion people depend on forests for survival. Deforestation is one of the leading causes of climate change, with a football field of rainforest destroyed every second due to unsustainable agriculture and ranching practices like cattle ranching. By 2030, only 10% of tropical rainforests are projected to remain if deforestation continues at its current rate, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of species.
Sec 1 Chapter 3 Tropical Rainforests
Tropical rainforests are found between latitudes 20° N and 20° S, in areas that experience high rainfall and temperatures throughout the year. The main tropical rainforest regions are the Amazon Basin in South America, the Congo Basin in Africa, and Southeast Asia. Tropical rainforests provide important ecosystem services like producing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, housing biodiversity, and supplying timber and medical resources. However, deforestation threatens these forests and the people and environment that depend on them.
tropical rainforest
A rainforest is a dense jungle that receives a high amount of rainfall per year, which is why it is called a "rain" forest. The climate is very hot and humid, requiring plants and animals to adapt. Though rainforests only cover 6% of the Earth's surface, they contain over half of the world's plant and animal species. Many items used in homes come from rainforests, including foods, medicines, rubber and more. Rainforests have several layers - an emergent layer with the tallest trees, a canopy layer that forms a roof, and lower layers with less sunlight where smaller plants and animals live.
Tropical rain forest_biome no owl
The tropical rainforest biome is characterized by warm temperatures year-round, high precipitation levels, and abundant plant and animal diversity. Temperatures in the rainforest average around 77°F and precipitation levels receive between 200-600 cm of rain per year. The dense canopy supports a wide variety of plant and animal life adapted to the humid conditions, including parrots, monkeys, frogs and fig trees.
Tropical rain forest biome Ashok Yadav
The tropical rainforest biome is distributed near the equator, covering 2% of the earth's land. It contains the highest biodiversity of any biome, with 50-80% of terrestrial species. Tropical rainforests have a uniform warm temperature and receive heavy rainfall throughout the year. They are located in South America, Central Africa, Western Africa, Madagascar, and Southeast Asia. The climate is characterized by high rainfall of 200-225cm annually, temperatures between 20-29 degrees Celsius, and high humidity. Vegetation is highly stratified into five layers with emergent, canopy, understory, shrub, and ground level plants. Tropical rainforests produce about 40% of the earth's oxygen and contain
Rainforest Facts
The Amazon Rainforest covers over a billion acres and produces over 20% of the world's oxygen. It is estimated that over half of the world's plant and animal species live in rainforests. At least 80% of the world's diet originated in rainforests, including fruits, vegetables, spices and nuts. However, rainforests are being destroyed at an unsustainable rate, with one and a half acres lost every second, threatening millions of species with extinction.

Tropical rainforest
The document summarizes key aspects of the tropical rainforest biome. It describes the abiotic factors like climate, soil conditions, and distribution near the equator. It then discusses some of the many animal species found in rainforests and how they have adapted to the environment. The document also outlines the large variety of plant life, including their adaptations to low light levels below the canopy. It concludes by mentioning biotic relationships like mutualism and predator-prey interactions between species in the rainforest ecosystem.
Tropical rain forest
The tropical rain forest can be found in three major geographical areas around the world. It has four distinct layers - emergent, upper canopy, understory, and forest floor. There are several types of rainforests defined by location and climate factors. Rainforests have a warm, humid climate with high rainfall. They provide many benefits but are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental impacts. Conservation efforts include programs like REDD that use carbon credits to incentivize forest protection.
Tropical forest (By: J.Q)
Tropical rainforests have high biodiversity and receive abundant rainfall. They regulate the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Rainforests are found between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and have warm temperatures year-round. They can be divided into four layers - emergent, upper canopy, lower canopy, and forest floor. While rainforests cover only a small portion of the Earth's surface, they are home to most of its plant and animal species. The largest threats to rainforests are deforestation through logging and mining activities, which degrade habitat and increase greenhouse gases.
Rainforest biomes and characteristic
Rainforest biomes are characterized by high rainfall, warm temperatures, and rich biodiversity. They receive between 80-430 inches of rain annually and are located near the equator where temperatures range from 72-93 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows them to support numerous species - for example, a single hectare can contain over 480 tree species. Rainforests also have a distinct four layer canopy structure with the emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor layers. They play an important role in regulating climate by absorbing carbon, releasing water vapor, and reducing temperatures.
Sec 1 Exp - Tropical Rainforests
Tropical rainforests are found in areas with high temperatures between 20-30 degrees Celsius and high rainfall between 1000-2000 mm annually. They have 3 main layers - the emergent layer with the tallest trees up to 50m high and buttress roots, the canopy layer 15-30m tall that blocks 70% of sunlight, and the undergrowth layer that receives very little sunlight. Rainforests are threatened by deforestation for agriculture, logging and development which causes extinction of plants and animals. Singapore once had more rainforests but they were cleared for population and industry growth, though reserves like the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve protect some remaining forest.
Tropical Rainforests
Tropical rainforests are defined by high precipitation, temperature, and humidity. They support a high level of biodiversity despite covering a small area of the planet. Plants and animals in rainforests have adapted to the dense canopy structure through traits like buttresses, prop roots, epiphytic growth, and camouflage. However, human activities like deforestation, overexploitation, mining, agriculture, and introducing invasive species are degrading many rainforests and reducing biodiversity.
Uses of tropical rainforests
Tropical rainforests serve several important purposes: as water catchment areas that slowly filter rainwater into the groundwater supply; as "green lungs" that absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen; and as habitat to over 2 million species of flora and fauna as well as indigenous peoples who rely on the forest for food and resources. Rainforests also provide timber for construction and contain thousands of plant species with potential medical applications.

The document summarizes key characteristics of tropical rainforests, including their climate, location, plant and animal life, and resources. Tropical rainforests are very warm and humid forests located near the equator between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. They contain many species of plants and animals divided into different strata. Common animals include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and insects. The climate is hot, humid, and receives heavy rainfall year-round. Plant and animal life in the rainforest has adapted to the dense forest environment.
Rainforest Presentation
Powerpoint designed for children ages 8-10. This is just a basic overview of the rainforest layers and some of the animals that live in the rainforest.
Deciduous Forest by Lauryn & peyton
A deciduous forest biome is a large area with specific plant and animal species. It has four distinct seasons and is located across parts of North America and Eurasia. The climate is temperate with temperatures ranging from -30 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit and 30 to 60 inches of annual precipitation. Common plant life includes oak, birch, and tulip trees which lose their leaves in winter. Animal life includes elk, mountain lions, coyotes and chipmunks which hibernate in winter.
Rainforest Importance
The document discusses the goods and services provided by tropical rainforests, including oxygen production, biodiversity, and origins of foods and medicines. It notes that rainforests once covered 14% of land but now only 6%, and are being destroyed at a rate of 1.5 acres per second. This is causing massive species loss estimated at 50,000 species per year. Tropical rainforests support important ecosystem services and are biodiversity hotspots, home to over half the world's species in a very small area of the planet.

Tropical Rain Forest
Tropical rainforests are located along the equator where temperatures and humidity are high. They receive between 4-8 meters of rain per year. The largest rainforests are found in Central and South America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa. Tropical rainforests are at risk of destruction due to human activity, with over half of the original forests already destroyed. The biodiversity of these forests is high, containing many species of plants and animals, some of which may provide cures for human diseases.
Tropical rainforests
Tropical rainforests are found in areas with high precipitation and temperatures. They contain the greatest biodiversity on Earth. The rainforest is made up of different layers - emergent, canopy, understory - with plants adapted to the varying light levels. Decomposers quickly recycle nutrients in the nutrient cycle. Rainforest plants have adaptations like buttress roots, vines, epiphytes, and fruit for seed dispersal.
Rainforest by Karsyn & Makayla
A tropical rainforest biome is characterized by warm and humid temperatures between 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and high precipitation between 59 to 98 inches per year. Locations of tropical rainforests include Central America, the Amazon, Africa, Southern Asia, and Australasia. Plants and animals in the tropical rainforest biome have adaptations to survive in the dense, hot, and wet conditions, such as buttress roots, carnivorous plants, epiphytes, and small teeth for boa constrictors.
Final presentation
The taiga, also known as the boreal forest, is a large belt of coniferous forests located in cold northern latitudes. It covers 11% of the Earth's surface, including most of Canada, Alaska, Scandinavia, and Russia. The taiga has a subarctic climate with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. It is dominated by coniferous trees like spruce, fir, and pine that are well-adapted to the cold climate. The taiga supports a diverse range of wildlife including birds, insects, herbivores like moose and caribou, and carnivores such as wolves. However, threats from clearcutting and overhunting have negatively impacted
6th Period Tropical Rain Forest
The document provides information about tropical rain forests, including their location near the equator, high temperatures and rainfall throughout the year. It describes some unique plant life found in rain forests, such as bracket fungi that can weigh over 700 pounds, and bougainvillea, a large shrub or small tree. Animal adaptations are discussed, for example how red-eyed tree frogs' bright colors serve as a defense mechanism. The impact of human activity like deforestation is addressed.
Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests are located in warm, tropical regions that receive high amounts of rainfall each year. They are characterized by dense vegetation and nutrient-poor soil. Tropical rainforests differ from temperate rainforests in that they have a warmer climate and receive much greater rainfall. Remaining tropical rainforests are found in dark green areas on maps and are structured into several layers from tall canopy trees to lower shrubs. Tropical rainforests are important because they contain a high percentage of the world's biodiversity and produce a large amount of the earth's oxygen. However, they are being threatened by activities like slash-and-burn agriculture which leads to deforestation.
Callum and bartosz
The document summarizes the four layers of the rainforest: the forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layers. The forest floor is dark and humid, home to mushrooms, fungi and the largest animals. The understory contains young trees and vines up to 12 feet tall, providing habitat for colorful animals like frogs and bats. The canopy layer blocks most rain and supports birds, monkeys and butterflies. The tallest emergent trees can reach skyscraper heights and provide flowers and nectar that feed birds living across multiple layers.

BIOLOGY FORM 5 CHAPTER 4 - 4.1 Asexual &Sexual Reproduction
Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes through fertilization to form a zygote. Asexual reproduction involves mitosis and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent without fusion of gametes. The main types of asexual reproduction include binary fission, budding, regeneration, and vegetative propagation, while the benefits of sexual reproduction include genetic diversity and ability to adapt to environmental changes.
Biology Form 5 Chapter 4 : 4.5 Reproduction in flowering plants
1. Sexual reproduction in flowering plants involves flowers that are usually bisexual or hermaphroditic containing both male and female structures.
2. Pollen grains containing sperm cells are produced from microspores in the anther, while embryo sacs containing egg cells form in ovules after meiosis of megaspores.
3. During pollination, pollen grains land on the stigma of a carpel and a pollen tube grows to deliver sperm for double fertilization - one sperm fuses with the egg to form a zygote, and the other fuses with polar nuclei to form endosperm in the seed.
BIOLOGY FORM 5 CHAPTER 4 - 4.1C Spermatogenesis & 0ogenesis
Spermatogenesis and oogenesis are the processes by which gametes (sperm and eggs) are produced in the male and female reproductive systems. Spermatogenesis occurs in the seminiferous tubules of the testes and involves the production of sperm through meiosis and differentiation. Oogenesis begins during embryonic development with the formation of oocytes, and involves meiosis, follicular growth, and ovulation of a secondary oocyte from the ovaries each menstrual cycle. Fertilization occurs when a sperm fuses with an egg in the fallopian tubes, forming a zygote.

It defines food chains as a series of steps where organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten. Food webs show how different organisms are interconnected in an ecosystem. Ecological pyramids graphically represent trophic levels and show decreasing biomass at higher levels. Forest ecosystems support a variety of plant and animal life through processes like photosynthesis and decomposition. They help regulate climate and rainfall while providing habitat. The document provides details on different types of forests and their characteristic features.
Ecosystem-components and interactions
The document discusses different types of ecosystems including biotic and abiotic components. It provides definitions of ecosystem and describes the key components. It discusses the structure of ecosystems including biological communities, biomass, and abiotic factors. It describes different types of ecosystems such as aquatic (marine and freshwater), terrestrial, and forest ecosystems. It also discusses interactions within ecosystems such as different types of relationships between species, energy flow, and the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers.
G9 ch5.1 biodiversity
This document discusses biodiversity and the threats to it. It defines the three types of biodiversity as genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. The greater the biodiversity, the more stable an ecosystem is. However, biodiversity is decreasing due to factors like habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation. The current rate of species extinction is estimated to be 1,000 times higher than the natural background rate, and a mass extinction event may be occurring, with 1/3 to 2/3 of all species projected to go extinct this century if changes are not made.

Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. Key concepts in ecology include biodiversity, distribution, biomass, and population of species. Ecosystems are communities of living and nonliving things that interact, and can be sustainable if they support diversity. Biomes are large areas with similar climate and communities of plants and animals. The main biomes include tropical rainforests, grasslands, deserts, tundra, and temperate forests. Ecosystems are made up of producers, consumers, and decomposers, with energy flowing between trophic levels in food chains and complex food webs.

Completed temperate grassland presentation
Temperate grasslands are found on several continents including North America, Eurasia, South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. They are characterized by large, flat lands with very rich soil that supports a variety of grasses and shrubs. During winter, the grasses die off leaving hummus. Temperate grasslands receive between 25-75 cm of annual precipitation and temperatures can range from over 100 degrees F in summer to below -40 degrees F in winter. Common animal species include bison, deer, elk, prairie dogs, rabbits, birds, snakes and foxes while common plant species are cottonwoods, oaks, willows, purple needle grass and sunflowers.
The boreal forest
The boreal forest biome is located across northern North America, Europe and Asia. It lies between the tundra to the north and deciduous forests to the south. Temperatures range from 5 to -5 degrees Celsius and precipitation is moderate, between 20 and 75 cm per year annually. The dominant plants are coniferous trees like pine and fir, along with mosses and lichens. Common animal species include bobcats, brown bears, over 85 mammal species, 130 fish species and 32,000 insect species. Threats to the boreal forest include resource extraction and development, as well as invasive plant species moving north with climate change.

Biodiversity and Indian Biodiversity
This document provides information about biodiversity in India. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life forms on Earth, including genetic diversity within species, between species, and between ecosystems. It describes the different types of biodiversity such as genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. India represents two biogeographic realms, five biomes, ten bio geographic zones, and is home to two biodiversity hotspots - the Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas. The document highlights the threats to biodiversity from habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation, and discusses the importance of in situ and ex situ conservation efforts to protect biodiversity.
eco-1.pptx
This document discusses the four major types of ecosystems: grassland, aquatic, forest, and desert. An ecosystem is defined as a biological environment consisting of living organisms that interact with nonliving components like air, soil, water and sunlight. Forest ecosystems have high rainfall, large biodiversity, and stability that is sensitive. Desert ecosystems are characterized by high heat, intense sun, low water, sparse flora and fauna that have adapted to the dry conditions.
Unit 2 natural resources
- Natural resources are any stock or reserve that can be drawn from nature. They include air, water, forests, coal, minerals, soil and more.
- Resources are classified as renewable (can regenerate within a given time like forests) or non-renewable (cannot regenerate like coal).
- Forests are a key natural resource that provide timber, fuel, fruits, medicines and help regulate climate, soil and water resources. However, deforestation due to various factors threatens biodiversity and the environment.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity or biological diversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a measure of variation at the genetic (genetic variability), species (species diversity), and ecosystem (ecosystem diversity) level.Biodiversity is not evenly distributed, rather it varies greatly across the globe as well as within regions. Among other factors, the diversity of all living things (biota) depends on temperature, precipitation, altitude, soils, geography and the presence of other species. The study of the spatial distribution of organisms, species and ecosystems, is the science of biogeography.A biodiversity hotspot is a region with a high level of endemic species that have experienced great habitat loss. The term hotspot was introduced in 1988 by Norman Myers. While hotspots are spread all over the world, the majority are forest areas and most are located in the tropics.The existence of a global carrying capacity, limiting the amount of life that can live at once, is debated, as is the question of whether such a limit would also cap the number of species. While records of life in the sea show a logistic pattern of growth, life on land (insects, plants and tetrapods) shows an exponential rise in diversity.[16] As one author states, "Tetrapods have not yet invaded 64 percent of potentially habitable modes and it could be that without human influence the ecological and taxonomic diversity of tetrapods would continue to increase exponentially until most or all of the available eco-space is filled."A variety of objective means exist to empirically measure biodiversity. Each measure relates to a particular use of the data, and is likely to be associated with the variety of genes. Biodiversity is commonly measured in terms of taxonomic richness of a geographic area over a time interval.In 2006, many species were formally classified as rare or endangered or threatened; moreover, scientists have estimated that millions more species are at risk which have not been formally recognized. About 40 percent of the 40,177 species assessed using the IUCN Red List criteria are now listed as threatened with extinction—a total of 16,119.[151] The five main drivers to biodiversity loss are : habitat loss, invasive species, overexploitation (extreme hunting and fishing pressure), pollution, and climate change.The number of morphological attributes that can be scored for diversity study is generally limited and prone to environmental influences; thereby reducing the fine resolution required to ascertain the phylogenetic relationships. DNA based markers- microsatellites otherwise known as simple sequence repeats (SSR) were therefore used for the diversity studies of certain species and their wild relatives.
In the case of cowpea, a study conducted to assess the level of genetic diversity in cowpea germplasm and related wide species, where the relatedness among various taxa was compared, primers useful for classification of taxa identified, and the origin.
Ch 15 - Biodiversity and Conservation || Class 12 ||
Biodiversity refers to the variety of plant and animal life on Earth. It includes genetic diversity within species, diversity of species, and diversity of ecosystems. Maintaining biodiversity is important because all species are interconnected and play vital roles in ecosystems. The major threats to biodiversity are habitat loss, overexploitation, invasive species, and coextinctions. At current extinction rates, half of all species may be lost within 100 years, constituting a human-caused sixth mass extinction.
Ecology Notes
* Algae are the primary producers, with 100 million kg of biomass
* According to the 10% rule, only 10% of energy is transferred between trophic levels
* So the biomass at the next trophic level (water fleas) would be 10 million kg (10% of 100 million kg)
* Repeating for each trophic level:
- Water fleas (10 million kg) → Minnows (1 million kg)
- Minnows (1 million kg) → Fish (100,000 kg)
* Assuming an average human weighs 100 kg, 100,000 kg of fish biomass could support 100,000/100 = 1,000 humans.
Therefore, the number of
Module 3.pdf
India is a mega-diverse country containing 7-8% of all recorded species despite having only 2.4% of the world's land area. It has over 45,000 plant species and 96,000 animal species. Several areas in India are identified as biodiversity hotspots including the Western Ghats and Himalayas. Major threats to India's biodiversity include habitat destruction, overexploitation, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts in India include protected areas like national parks and wildlife sanctuaries as well as ex situ conservation methods such as zoos, botanical gardens, and gene banks.
Grassland ecosystem
Grasslands are areas dominated by grasses that cover 40% of the Earth's surface. A grassland ecosystem consists of primarily grasses as well as animals and microorganisms. The two main types are tropical grasslands near the equator and temperate grasslands at higher latitudes. Tropical grasslands have taller, coarser grasses and scattered trees while temperate grasslands have shorter, softer grasses. Grasslands support a variety of plant and animal life as producers, primary consumers, and higher-level consumers and decomposers. Threats include conversion to agriculture, urban development, and climate change, so conservation efforts focus on education, wetland protection, crop rotation, and controlled burning.
Lecture 8.pdf
The document discusses biodiversity, which refers to the variety of life on Earth across species, genetics, and ecosystems. It notes that tropical rainforests have the greatest biodiversity, containing over half of the world's plant and animal species despite covering only 6% of the Earth's surface. However, deforestation due to activities like cattle ranching, agriculture, and logging has reduced tropical forests to half their original size and damaged habitats and biodiversity.

The pit and the pendulum (1)
This document outlines an integrated mathematics unit on statistics based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Pit and the Pendulum". The unit aims to determine if Poe's prisoner would have had enough time to escape from under a swinging pendulum. Students collect data on pendulum lengths and periods to formulate an equation. Applying this to the 30-foot rope in the story, students find the prisoner would have had 78 seconds to escape, giving him plenty of time. The unit covers statistical concepts like standard deviation and is designed to help students meet proficiencies in reasoning through statistics, communicating information mathematically, and taking responsibility for learning.
The effect of cell phone radiation on yeast (1)
The student conducted an experiment to test the effect of cell phone radiation on yeast metabolism. Yeast and sugar mixtures were placed in test tubes near a cell phone, 30cm away, 1m away, and in another room as a control. The cell phone was used to make calls for 30 minutes by each test tube. Balloon diameters measured the yeast's CO2 output, indicating metabolism. Results showed yeast closest to the phone grew most, while the control grew second most, supporting the hypothesis that closer proximity increases yeast growth due to cell phone radiation. The student learned about cell phone operation and their classification as a potential carcinogen, while gaining experience with the scientific method.

https://www.etran.rs/2024/en/home-english/ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
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.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...
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.

THEMATIC APPERCEPTION TEST(TAT) cognitive abilities, creativity, and critic...Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan,kP,Pakistan
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skillsDeep 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.
