There are physical phenomena in everyday life that are taken for granted simply because the explanation of their behavior closely matches the expectations of the observer. For some of these phenomenon, an extensive body of theoretical knowledge exists which matches the experimental observations. The electromagnetic force is one of these phenomenon. The observer can envision empty space filled with electromagnetic waves, and describe these waves and their effects on matter with mathematical precision.
Devices can be constructed, based on electromagnetic theory, that confirm our belief that the electromagnetic phenomena are well understood— that is, observations are produced consistent with expectations. With further investigation new questions arise, requiring a reformulation of the theory which supports these observations.

Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beamSebastien Bianchin
The OPERA neutrino experiment at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory has measured the velocity of neutrinos from the CERN CNGS beam over a baseline of about 730 km with much higher accuracy than previous studies conducted with accelerator neutrinos. The measurement is based on high-statistics data taken by OPERA in the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Dedicated upgrades of the CNGS timing system and of the OPERA detector, as well as a high precision geodesy campaign for the measurement of the neutrino baseline, allowed reaching comparable systematic and statistical accuracies. An early arrival time of CNGS muon neutrinos with respect to the one computed assuming the speed of light in vacuum of (60.7 \pm 6.9 (stat.) \pm 7.4 (sys.)) ns was measured. This anomaly corresponds to a relative difference of the muon neutrino velocity with respect to the speed of light (v-c)/c = (2.48 \pm 0.28 (stat.) \pm 0.30 (sys.)) \times 10-5.
The Heisenberg uncertainty leads us to the conclusion that even the vacuum has fluctuations of energy (zero point energy) which increases as the measurement time decreases. This energy is assumed to be generated by virtual particle pairs of matter and anti-matter that pop in and out of existence. This strange phenomena was demonstrated through the Casimir effect. This vacuum energy is supposed to be represented by Einstein’s cosmological constant and assumed to be the source for the dark energy which was measured by the accelerating expansion of the universe.When integrating all the expected energy due to vacuum fluctuations we receive an expected dark energy which is larger in 120 orders of magnitude from the observed expansion of the universe. This prediction failure of the theory versus observations leads to the vacuum catastrophe. This paper will suggest an approach that will enable to solve this major failure between predictions and observations.

An alternative to the "big molecules" view of proteins is the "small things" view in which protein have a shape and material properties. This talk is about investigating these properties.
Talk multiscale analysis of ionic solutions is unavoidableBob Eisenberg
Ions in channels and solutions control most living functions. Analysis in atomic detail is needed, but so is prediction of functions on the macroscopic scale. Computational electronics has solved similar issues and we all benefit from the computational devices it provides us. These slides show how a similar approach can be used, and is necessary in my view, for ions solutions and biological systems, most notably in ion channels

Device approach to biology and engineeringBob Eisenberg
Device Approach to Biology (and Engineering)
The goal of biological research is often more to control than to understand. Devices in biology (like ion channels) control individual functions just as they do in our technology. Study of control requires a multiscale approach because a handful of atoms, moving in 10-15 sec, control biological functions extending meters and taking seconds. Structural biology and molecular dynamics are essential (and beautiful!) parts of this hierarchy, but so are the functions themselves, and the electric field equations that link structure and function on all scales from atoms to nerve cells. Analyzing biological systems as devices is usually successful, and almost always productive.
Ultraviolet spetroscopy by Dr. Monika Singh part-1 as per PCI syllabusMonika Singh
UV Visible spectroscopy as per PCI syllabus: Electronic transitions, chromophores, auxochromes, spectral shifts, solvent effect on absorption spectra, Beer and Lambert’s law, Derivation and deviations.
The slide is about matter wave interferometry and discusses this subject first with regards to the following questions.
1. While quantum physics is a universally valid theory are there any mass, size or complexity limits ?
2. As quantum physics is a precise theory can we use quantum interferometry for particle metrology?
3. As there seems to be a limit of how far the quantum interferometry can be shown to exist how far can we extend the double slit interferometry to larger things ?
The author's perspective is therefore to show that he can do double slit wave interferometry with quite large molecules.
What is interesting to him is the velocity distribution or "velocity selection" as it is called in his poster.
Then the author continues to discuss different interferometry techniques such as the Talbot-Lau interferometre and its extension, the Kapitza-Dirac Talbot-Lau interferometre.
After this he starts mentioning quantum interferometry with "polyatomic strings" and continues to discuss a larger variety of techniques and molecules.

Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
