Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism.
Its name is a hybrid word, originating from the Greek bios for "living" and the Latin lumen "light".
Bioluminescence is a naturally occurring form of chemiluminescence where energy is released by a chemical reaction in the form of light emission. Fireflies, anglerfish, and other creatures produce the chemicals luciferin (a pigment) and luciferase (an enzyme).
Bioluminescence is production of light without heat energy through chemical reaction by living organism.
The light emitted by a bioluminescent organism is produced by energy released from chemical reactions occurring inside the organism.
This is what we call bioluminescence. Bioluminesence is the process of emmiting light by living organisms as the result of chemical reaction. The organisms are like jellyfish, fireflies, wormtail and there's also dinoflagellates. Our study is about Vadhoo Island in Maldives which has sparkling water if you see at night. That's so beautiful. If u wanna see vadhoo island, just see the first page. That's all. -cincin
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
4. Introduction
Definition- Emission of light from living
organisms through chemical reactions.
The involved chemical process is chemo-luminescence.
During the process chemical energy is converted into light
energy.
Protein-Luciferin and Enzyme-Luciferase.
Emitted light has less energy, hence light is referred to as
“Cold Light”.
Bioluminescence
Lumen-Light
Bio- Living
Bioluminescence- Light by Living organism

5. Initial Records of Bioluminescence (BCE-1500s AD)The
first Greek reference to marine phosphorescence dates back
to 500 BCE with descriptions of marine observations.
Aristotle (384 – 332 BCE) recorded bioluminescence in
detail. During his study, he discovered that these organisms
were capable of self-luminosity.
The modern study of bioluminescence began
when Dubois demonstrated the first example of a luciferin–
luciferase reaction in 1885. He made two aqueous extracts
from the luminous West Indies beetle Pyrophorus.

6. Light Emission Chemistry
The phenomenon of light emission results from an enzyme-catalyzed oxidation reaction in
living organisms.
For bio-luminescence three ingredients are needed:
Luciferins- Light-producing protein.
Luciferase- Enzymes allow a reaction to take place.
Oxygen.

7. Different organisms have different Luciferins and
correspond to a different wavelengths of light.
Bacterial (A derivative of riboflavin)
Dinoflagellate (Related to chlorophyll structure)
Firefly (Requires ATP for bio-luminescence)
Coelenterazine(Extermly common protiene). etc

8. Bioluminescence color spectra and respective Luciferin.
Most of the light emitted in range of 430nm to 600nm wavelength.

9. Based on Light emission source and photogenic reaction
three kinds of bioluminescence are recognized.
Symbiotic- Luminance due to endosymbiotic bacteria
living with some marine species. i.e- Squids.
Extracellular- Luminance through specialized glands
unicellular or multicellular. i.e. Shrims, Fireworms,
Balanoglosses.
Intracellular- light emission in the cells. i.e
cephalopods
Classifications
Squids
Fireworms
Balanoglosses
