Trailblazing women in science jigsaw reading (adapted from BBC)
Peggy Whitson was the first female science officer aboard the International Space Station, where she conducted research on crop growth, cancer treatments, and fluid dynamics to help future space exploration. Marie Tharp was the first scientist to map the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, proving the theory of plate tectonics, though her male partner initially dismissed her work. Wanda Diaz-Merced developed software to translate astronomical data into sound waves, making astrophysics accessible to the blind and visually impaired. Quarraisha Abdool Karim has spent over 25 years researching HIV/AIDS in South Africa, including studies showing higher risks for women and correlations with migration.
The Camel
The camel is a large desert-dwelling mammal with long eyelashes and nostrils that can close to keep out sand, weighing up to 1,520 lbs. It lives in the Sahara desert, which covers 3.5 million square miles, and survives on plants, herbs, and grass, being able to drink 27 gallons of water in 10 minutes. Camels travel in female-led groups with one male and give birth to babies that can walk within their first day but stay with their mothers for about 4 years.

^^ Speci fic presentations from me ^^
Mr. Deepak S.Sawant shared his interest in astrology and unicorns. He found some evaluations of astrology in newer books and online. He acquired class photos from Google to include in a presentation submitted to Slideshare. His document presents hypotheses about discoveries related to Gayetri and the cosmos involving the absolute sun. Finally, discoveries about specific stars, planets, and positioning in different universes could relate to newer findings about ancient myths or mythologies.
Who Is Doing Anal Play and Why?
Drawing from findings of a survey conducted by Dr. Leanna Wolfe and funded by Avid Media, the owner of the Ashley Madison website, recent trends towards increased openness about anal sex are dissected. Ultimately an interest in anal play among married heterosexuals is not a significant motivator towards cheating. Non-kink identified respondents engaged in anal pleasuring on average a couple of times a year.

Passenger pigeon
The passenger pigeon was once abundant across eastern North America but went extinct in the early 20th century. Flocks could contain billions of birds and migrated long distances seasonally. However, widespread hunting for food and sport, along with habitat loss, led to a dramatic population decline. The last passenger pigeon, named Martha, died in captivity in 1914 at the Cincinnati Zoo, marking the extinction of the species. Scientists are now discussing plans to try to revive the passenger pigeon through genetic engineering techniques.

Sci am special online issue 2002.no04 - the search for alien life
Scientists have been searching for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence through techniques like scanning the heavens for radio signals and studying planets and moons in our solar system for signs of life. While discoveries of water on Mars and the possibility of a subsurface ocean on Europa have intensified the search within our solar system, searches have yet to find any conclusive evidence of life beyond Earth. The lack of detections from radio searches and the absence of evidence that aliens have visited Earth presents what is known as the Fermi Paradox - if intelligent life is common, where is the evidence of it? While the searches have only covered a small parameter space so far, initial results are beginning to place limits on the prevalence of advanced civilizations in the

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
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.
Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:
