Sorghum grain smut, caused by the fungus Sphacelotheca sorghi, is considered the most destructive disease of sorghum. It can reduce grain yields by up to 25% if left unmanaged. Symptoms appear at grain formation as individual grains are replaced by dirty white to gray smut sori. Management strategies include using disease-free seed, growing resistant varieties, seed treatment with fungicides like sulfur or Captan, crop rotation, and collecting and boiling smutted heads.
This document discusses ear cockle of wheat, caused by the nematode Anguina tritici. Key points:
- A. tritici causes galls to form on wheat ears and seeds, shortening and distorting the ears.
- Symptoms also include stunted, twisted leaves and enlarged stems. The nematode lives and reproduces within the seed galls.
- It can interact with the bacterium Clavibacter tritici to cause yellow ear rot disease. Management includes using clean seed, crop rotation, hot water seed treatment, and nematicide application.
The document summarizes black tip or necrosis of mango, a disease that affects mango fruits. It occurs in northern Indian states near brick kilns and can affect up to 90% of fruits on a tree. Symptoms appear when fruits are 6-8 weeks old or at the ripening stage, showing blackened, flat tips with soft, rotten inner portions secreting dark brown liquid. The disease is caused by sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and acetylene gases released from brick kilns. Management strategies include spraying borax and ensuring brick kilns are at least 15-18 meters in height and new mango gardens are at least 0.8-1.6 km away to avoid the gases.

Apple scab, caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis, is one of the most economically important diseases of apple worldwide. It has been plaguing apple crops for centuries. The disease cycle begins with ascospores produced sexually overwintering on infected leaves. During spring rains, ascospores are released and can infect apple leaves and fruit from bud break through petal fall. Secondary infections occur throughout the growing season from asexual spores produced on lesions. If left uncontrolled, apple scab can cause up to 70% crop loss through defoliation, fruit drop, and reduced quality. Proper disease management is needed to minimize economic impacts on apple production.

Puccinia is a genus of fungi that includes approximately 5000 species, some of which are devastating pathogens of wheat and other cereals. Puccinia graminis causes stem rust in wheat, P. recondita causes brown leaf rust, and P. striformis causes yellow stripe rust. These rusts have polymorphic life cycles with multiple spore stages. Symptoms vary by species but generally include blisters or pustules that erupt and release spores, which can be brick red in stem rust and cause stems and leaves to blacken. Brown leaf rust first appears on upper leaves while yellow stripe rust primarily affects leaves. In barberry shrubs, rust symptoms appear as yellow to orange spots on leaves.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
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 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.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
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.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
2. INTRODUCTION
Important physiological disorder, storage, transit and
market disease caused by poor oxygen relation
leading to dark necrotic cavities.
Also occur when the temperature goes above 320C
during growth and maturation of tuber and also during
transit.
3. SYMPTOMS
Symptoms first visible at the center of the
tuber.
Center of the affected tissue is dark grey to
black in an irregular pattern indicating
necrosis.
Darkened areas are firm but on exposure to
room become soft .
Advance stage, affected tissue dry out,
shrinks with the formation of cavity in the
center.
Symptoms on reaching the surface appear as
dark sunken patches.

6. CAUSES
1. Asphyxiation
Storage at low temperature at and below 00C
high temperature (8-10) 0C.
Compact soil which restricts air movement.
Prolonged hot or drought period
when soils are flooded or stay saturated for longer
period oxygen diffusion into potato tuber is restricted.
Lack of O2 to tuber interior causes interior tissue to die
and ultimately turn brown purple or black.
2. Low calcium mineral content in the soil.
7. MANAGEMENT
Timely and proper irrigation and flooding.
Application of calcium rich fertilizer like gypsum and
limestone.
Maintain moderate temperature during cold storage.
Maintain adequate ventilation during transport,
storage to avoid asphyxiation.
8. MANAGEMENT
Avoid harvesting at extremely heat around 30 c and
excessively low temperature around 0 c.
Do not delay harvest i.e. timely harvest.
Plant variety resistant to heat stress e.g.. Atlantic
variety is must susceptible while Harley Blackwell is
most resistant.
