Biology is the scientific study of living organisms. The scientific method involves making observations, forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. The key properties of living things include organization, metabolism, response to stimuli, homeostasis, reproduction, growth and development, adaptation and evolution. While viruses share some characteristics with living things, they are not considered living because they lack cells and cannot reproduce without a host. The scientific method provides a framework for gaining knowledge through observable, measurable, and falsifiable means.
ECGS Module 9
This document discusses the key characteristics of living things:
1. Organization - All living things are made of cells that contain DNA. Cells have different structures that perform specialized functions.
2. Metabolism - Living things obtain and use energy through chemical reactions. Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy while animals consume other organisms.
3. Response to stimuli - Living things respond to changes inside and outside their bodies through behaviors like movement, homeostasis, and reflexes that are either instinctive or learned.
4. Reproduction - The continuation of species is achieved through sexual or asexual reproduction which transmits hereditary information to offspring.

Biology Unit 1 Chapter 1 Lecture
This document provides an overview of key concepts from Chapter 1 of a biology textbook. It begins by defining what science is and the scientific method. It describes early experiments that disproved spontaneous generation and established the principle that all life comes from pre-existing life. It then characterizes the basic properties of living things, including being made of cells, reproducing, responding to stimuli, and evolving over time. Finally, it introduces tools used in biology like microscopes and techniques like cell culture and fractionation. The goal is to introduce foundational topics in the science of biology.
Ap1.5
The document discusses the scientific process, noting that inquiry is at the heart of science and based on observations which can be quantitative or qualitative. It describes discovery science which relies on observation and analysis to describe natural phenomena through inductive reasoning, and hypothesis-based science which develops hypotheses to test through experiments using deductive reasoning. The scientific process is presented as flexible rather than rigid, with hypotheses tested experimentally and possibly leading to broader scientific theories.

Transgenic organisms powerpoint
The document describes the process of creating transgenic mice through microinjection of fertilized mouse eggs with transgenes. The injected eggs are implanted into foster mothers and the offspring ("pups") are analyzed using PCR or Southern blotting to identify potential founders that have the transgene. Founders can then be further studied to analyze the effects of the transgene. Transgenic mice have aided research on diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer by acting as disease models and allowing specific proteins to be produced. While transgenic mice research is useful, there are also ethical concerns regarding animal treatment and environmental issues if genetically modified animals escape.
National science day 2015 ppt
This document discusses scientific temper and the scientific method. It defines scientific temper as having a rational and skeptical attitude, looking at things logically rather than being swayed by popular beliefs. The scientific method is then explained as involving observation, hypothesis, experimentation, data collection, and conclusion. An example is given of noticing curved tadpole tails leading to the hypothesis that a pollutant causes it, which is then tested by an experiment controlling various factors and collecting data to form a conclusion. Scientific temper and method foster truth, skepticism, and problem-solving abilities important for nation-building.
Transgenic organisms powerpoint
A transgenic animal is one that has had part of another species' genome transferred into its own through genetic engineering techniques. One common transgenic animal is mice. To create a transgenic mouse, scientists typically microinject a transgene into fertilized mouse eggs which are then implanted into a foster mother mouse. The offspring are tested for the presence of the transgene. Transgenic mice are useful for studying diseases and testing toxicants. While they aid research, some have ethical concerns about transgenic animal welfare and environmental impacts if genetically modified animals escape.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
