This document discusses the biotic and abiotic factors of tropical rainforests and how plants and animals have adapted to these conditions. It describes how animals like primates, aye-ayes and birds have physical adaptations for life in the canopy. It also discusses how insects, predators and poisonous frogs have adapted camouflage or bright colors. On the plant side, it covers adaptations like buttresses, prop roots, drip tips and pitcher plants. For abiotic factors, it focuses on the high rainfall, temperature, sunlight levels and soil conditions in rainforests.

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. Animal Adaptations
• The tropical rainforest is a wet, warm forest of
trees that grow very closely together. The canopy
in the rainforest can release gallons of water each
year into the atmosphere. The resulting moisture
hangs over the forest, keeping the interior warm
and humid. Animals living in the rainforest have
had to adapt to these wet, warm conditions and
have had to find niches that allow them to thrive.
They do this by altering species characteristics to
fit the tall trees, the constant humidity and the
rainforest floor.
3. Animals in the canopy: Primates
• Long arms to swing from tree to tree in the
canopy, avoiding predators on the ground
4. The Aye-Aye
• Nocturnal feeder, to avoid dangerous
predators by day.
• Large eyes allow more light in at night
• Builds nests on top of trees in the canopy
• Have a longer middle finger to reach within
holes in tree trunks
5.
6. Birds
• Have large beaks to lose more heat. Birds in
tropical regions can afford to have larger
beaks than birds in temperate regions.
• Differently sized beaks allow for different
adaptations according to use
7. • Large beaks for cutting up pieces of fruit and
nuts
– Toucan
8. • Hooked beaks to tear small prey apart
– Philippine Eagle
9. • Long thin beaks to reach within small holes on
trees
– Black-cheeked Woodpecker
11. Farming
• Leafcutter ants climb tall trees and cut small
pieces of leaves which they carry back to their
nest. The leaf pieces they carry are about 50
times their weight. The ants bury the leaf
pieces, and the combination of the leaves and
the ants' saliva encourages the growth of a
fungus, which is the only food these ants eat.
16. Bright Colors
• Warn prospective predators to stay away from
them
– Poison arrow frogs
– Native Central and South American tribes used to
wipe the ends of their arrows onto the frog's skin
to make their arrows deadly poisonous.
17.
18. Plant Adaptations
• Bark
– In drier, temperate deciduous forests a thick bark
helps to limit moisture evaporation from the tree's
trunk. Since this is not a concern in the high
humidity of tropical rainforests, most trees have a
thin, smooth bark.
19.
20. Lianas
• Lianas are climbing woody vines that drape
rainforest trees. They have adapted to life in
the rainforest by having their roots in the
ground and climbing high into the tree canopy
to reach available sunlight. Many lianas start
life in the rainforest canopy and send roots
down to the ground.
21.
22. Drip tips
• The leaves of forest trees have adapted to
cope with exceptionally high rainfall. Many
tropical rainforest leaves have a drip tip. It is
thought that these drip tips enable rain drops
to run off quickly. Plants need to shed water
to avoid growth of fungus and bacteria in the
warm, wet tropical rainforest.
23.
24. Buttresses
• Many large trees have massive ridges near the
base that can rise 30 feet high before blending
into the trunk. Buttress roots provide extra
stability, especially since roots of tropical
rainforest trees are not typically as deep as
those of trees in temperate zones.
25.
26. Prop and stilt roots
• Prop and stilt roots help give support and are
characteristic of tropical palms growing in
shallow, wet soils. Although the tree grows
fairly slowly, these above-ground roots can
grow 28 inches a month.
27.
28. Epiphytes
• Epiphytes are plants that live on the surface of
other plants, especially the trunk and
branches. They grow on trees to take
advantage of the sunlight in the canopy. Most
are orchids, bromeliads, ferns, and
Philodendron relatives. Tiny plants called
epiphylls, mostly mosses, liverworts and
lichens, live on the surface of leaves.
29.
30. Pitcher plants
• Pitcher plant vines in the family Nepenthaceae
have leaves that form a pitcher, complete with
a lid. Sweet or foul-smelling nectar in the
pitcher attracts insects, especially ants and
flies, that lose their grip on the slick sides and
fall into the liquid. Downward-pointing hairs
inside the pitcher prevent the insects' escape.
The insects are digested by the plants and
provide nutrients. Pitcher plants are not
epiphytes but climbers rooted in the soil.
31.
32. Abiotic Factors
• Abiotic factors are those non-living, inert
elements of an ecosystem that interact with
the living components. The way that the
abiotic factors interact with a particular
ecosystem determines the types of plants and
animals that can live in that ecosystem. The
abiotic factors of the rainforest biome are the
amount of water, sunlight, temperature and
soil, and climate.
33. Water
• The rainforest normally receives no less than 80
inches of rainfall annually. This is one of the most
visible abiotic factors of the rain forest. The air
under the canopy layer is still and very humid as a
result. The trees also give off water through their
leaves in a process called transpiration. This
process can account for as much as half of the
precipitation in a rain forest.
34.
35. • Transpiration – loss of water vapor from parts
of plants (leaves, stems, roots)
36. Sunlight
• Light is the main source of energy in the rain
forest. Plants use chlorophyll to change energy
from sunlight into chemical energy through
photosynthesis.
37. • In the rain forest, most of the sunlight is
absorbed by the upper canopy, made up of
trees between 60 and 100 feet tall.
38. • Only about 1 percent of the sunlight that
strikes the top of the rain forest reaches to the
forest floor. Plants are adapted to these
conditions -- plants in the understory have
large leaves to better absorb the weaker
light, while those in the upper canopy have
small leaves to reduce water loss in the strong
sunlight.
39.
40. Soil
• The rain forest soil is shallow and thin, with
few nutrients and soluble minerals. The heavy
rains common in rain forests wash away the
nutrients in the soil. As a result, the nutrients
in a rain forest are largely found in the roots
and leaves of living plants, and in the
decomposing vegetation on the forest
floor, rather than in the soil.
41.
42. Temperature and Climate
• The temperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher
than 93 degrees F or drops below 68 degrees.
The high and constant temperatures increase the
rate of evaporation and keep humidity high.
Warm temperatures also allow growth to occur
quickly. As animal and insect life does not need to
expend energy keeping warm, it can spend more
energy on reproduction and reproduce with
greater frequency. This explains some of the
abundance of life in the rain forest.
43. • This temperature is attributed to the location
of rainforests. They are near the equator, and
so they receive a high amount of solar
radiation.
• Humid because of high amount of rainfall and
solar energy.
• Stays mostly the same all throughout the year.
