This study investigated habitat selection in the burrowing brittlestar Ophiophragmus filograneus by examining preferences for grain size, vegetation, and structure. Experiments found the brittlestar significantly preferred very fine grain sand and habitats with the sea grass Halodule wrightii. The presence of physical structure, like sea grass, was an important factor in habitat selection. The study demonstrates grain size and structural habitat components like sea grass influence the patchy distribution of this brittlestar species.

Presentation on morphology of rice plant

Abdul Salim

The document describes the growth stages of rice plants from seed germination through flowering and grain development. It explains that when a rice seed germinates, the coleorhiza first emerges from the soil followed by the radicle root. Seedlings develop leaves and tillers, with roots and culms. The culm nodes bear leaves, and the top leaf is the flag leaf. Panicles form on the upper culm and bear spikelets with florets containing pistils, stamens and lodicules. Fertilization results in rice grains enveloped in hulls that protect the embryo and endosperm.

Session 4 calender

kleinkea

This schedule outlines the week-by-week plan for a biology class focusing on arthropods, echinoderms, and fish. In the first week, students will take notes on arthropods and echinoderms, and participate in labs examining preserved specimens of these phyla. The second week involves dissecting starfish, analyzing lab results, and taking article-based and identification tests on echinoderms and arthropods. Later weeks shift to topics on fish, including their adaptations, building a model fish, quizzes, and a field trip to SeaWorld to observe aquatic life.

Echinoderms

kleinkea

Echinoderms are marine invertebrates with spiny skin and five-part radial symmetry. They have a water-vascular system and tube feet used for movement. There are five classes of echinoderms: sea stars, brittle stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and sea lilies. Sea stars have tube feet and a water vascular system that allows them to move and catch prey as carnivores. Sea urchins also have tube feet and move by grazing on algae and plants as herbivores. Sea cucumbers use their tube feet to move and take nutrients from sand with oral tentacles.

Here are a few methods a scientist could use to determine the population density of barnacle species on a dock post: 1. Count the number of individual barnacles within a defined area on the post (e.g. within a 1 square foot quadrat) and extrapolate the total number per post based on the surface area. This direct count method provides an estimate of density. 2. Weigh a sample of barnacles scraped from a defined area. Compare the wet or dry mass to samples of known densities to estimate individuals per unit area. 3. Take photographic images of sample areas and use image analysis software to automatically count and identify barnacles based on size, shape, color. This provides a repeatable quantitative measure

Ecology

kleinkea

Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment. It examines these relationships across different levels of biological organization, from cells to the biosphere. An organism's environment, or abiotic factors like temperature and salinity, as well as biotic interactions with predators, prey and parasites, define its habitat and ecological niche. Competition occurs when organisms require the same limited resources, preventing two groups from occupying the same niche. Predator-prey relationships and keystone species also shape ecosystem structure. Symbiosis describes close biological interactions, which can be mutualistic, commensal, or parasitic. Scientists sample populations using methods like transect lines and quadrats to make inferences about ecosystem health.

Osmosis article marine

kleinkea

The study explored the effects of low salinity water on ion transporter expression and distribution in the gill of the longhorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus). Sculpins were exposed to 10% or 20% seawater for 24 or 72 hours. Exposure to 10% seawater resulted in 20-25% lower plasma ion levels but did not affect transporter localization or expression. Sculpins maintained ion levels in 20% seawater and showed no physiological effects. The results suggest sculpins can tolerate brackish water for days but not long term due to an inability to regulate transporters at low salinities.

Fish osmoregulation

kleinkea

The document discusses the central role played by the Mt. Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) in advancing the study of fish osmoregulation over the past 80 years. Some of the key discoveries made by scientists at MDIBL include demonstrating that marine fish ingest seawater and absorb water and ions from their intestines, determining that aglomerular fish kidneys can function excretory like glomerular kidneys, and elucidating the role of gills in salt secretion. The MDIBL has hosted many influential researchers in fish physiology and helped establish the basic mechanisms of osmoregulation in fish.

Lesson 2 osmosis and diffusion in the marine environment

kleinkea

The document summarizes how different fish species regulate water concentration in their cells when in environments with different salt concentrations. Some fish, like those in marine environments, actively transport ions to maintain higher internal salt concentrations than the surrounding water to prevent their cells from bursting. Other fish, called osmoconformers, allow their internal salt concentrations to rise and fall passively with the environment. Maintaining precise internal regulation requires energy, so some species like cod produce high concentrations of urea to control balances. The document emphasizes the importance of these mechanisms for fish to adapt to varying salinity conditions in their habitats.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...

Alex Pruden

Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security. Paper Link: https://eprint.iacr.org/2024/257

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs

Sease

This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints. That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source. The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal. The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata. This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr. The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
