The Family of Stars
*
[Love] is the star to
every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown,
although his height be taken.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Sonnet 116
*
Shakespeare compared love to a star that can be seen easily and even used for guidance, but whose real nature is utterly unknown. He lived at about the same time as Galileo and had no idea what stars actually are.
*
To understand the history of the universe, the origin of Earth, and the nature of our human existence, you need to discover what people in Shakespeare’s time did not know:The real nature of the stars
*
Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to find out what a star is like. When you look at a star even through a telescope, you see only a point of light. Real understanding of stars requires careful analysis of starlight.
*
This chapter concentrates on five goals:Knowing how far away stars are How much energy they emit What their surface temperatures are How big they are How much mass they contain
*
Star DistancesDistance is the most important, and the most difficult, measurement in astronomy.
*
Astronomers have many different ways to find the distances to stars. Each of those ways depends on a simple and direct geometrical method that is much like the method surveyors would use to measure the distance across a river they cannot cross. You can begin by reviewing that method and then apply it to stars.
Star Distances
*
To measure the distance across a river, a team of surveyors begins by driving two stakes into the ground. The distance between the stakes is called the baseline.
The Surveyor’s Triangulation Method
*
Then, they choose a landmark on the opposite side of the river, perhaps a tree.This establishes a large triangle marked by the two stakes and the tree. Using their instruments,
they sight the tree
from the two ends of
the baseline and measure
the two angles on
their side of the river.
The Surveyor’s Triangulation Method
*
Then, they can find the distance across the river by simple trigonometry.So, if the baseline is
50 meters and the angles
are 66° and 71°, they
would calculate that
the distance from the
baseline to the tree is
64 meters.
The Surveyor’s Triangulation Method

To find the distance to a star, astronomers use a very long baseline:The diameter of Earth’s orbit

Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
