People generally think of Big Data as something generated by machines or large communities of people interacting with the digital world. But technological progress means that each individual is currently, or soon will be, generating masses of digital data in their everyday lives. In every interaction with an application, every web page visited, every time your telephone is turned on, you generate information about yourself, Personal Big Data. With the rising adoption of quantified self gadgets, and the foreseeable adoption of intelligent glasses capturing daily life, the quantity of personal Big Data will only grow. In this Personal Big Data, as in other Big Data, a key problem is aligning concepts in the same semantic space. While concept alignment in the public sphere is an understood, though unresolved, problem, what does ontological organization of a personal space look like? Is it idiosyncratic, or something that can be shared between people? We will describe our current approach to this problem of organizing personal data and creating and exploiting a personal semantics.
Localisation workflows: the impact of process well-handledness on automationNicolas Martinez
In the context of an ever growing need for LSP to optimize their offerings to their clients, TMS stands out as a seemingly obvious choice to deliver higher quality content faster and cheaper.
As the trend is to deploy TMS workflows full speed ahead, do those systems cater well to different use-cases as they can be found in traditional localisation processes, involving frequent updates, change of scope at language or file level as localisation is tied in more closely than ever to content authoring?
We started with the assumption that TMS only supported well-handled use-cases with fixed sets of well-defined transitions and limited support to non-well-handled cases with flexible unpredictable transitions. As a corollary, we deemed that perhaps certain use cases are not suitable for automation in TMS.
Thus, the objective set forth with this paper was to evaluate the strengths and limitations of TMS using the concept of workflow well-handledness.
To this avail, we began by looking at the current state of affairs in traditional localisation workflows and found that, although the traditional translation, editing and proofreading cycles and stakeholders follow a defined model, there is a need for added flexibility at each step to optimise turnaround times.
We then positioned TMS in the supply chain, looked closely at localisation business processes and in what ways solutions based on TMS could improve current localisation workflows. It became apparent that TMS is not a monolithic system and workflow engineers need to closely work with project stakeholders and be aware of all process applications to design, implement and ensure relevant reporting.
The practical steps to deploy a workflow in TMS around key process areas and specific goals were detailed, revealing that there should be just enough human tasks to cater for change in requirements and the system must be robust enough to allow time-critical maintenance on running production workflows.
Workflow patterns were introduced allowing us to scrutinise this flow around complementary perspectives, that of control-flow, data, resource and exception handling.
Finally, we put the concept of well-handledless to the test in a case-study of industrial Lionbridge TMS using workflow patterns. The case study confirmed that in control-flow patterns support is rather basic and limited to well-handled use-cases, with a fixed set of well-defined transitions and predictable resources. This is mainly because such systems focus on the end-user to meet SLAs rather than offering powerful underlying workflow.

Daily Human Activity Recognition using Adaboost Classifiers on Wisdm Datasetijtsrd
Human activity recognition is an important area of machine learning research as it has much utilization in different areas such as sports training, security, entertainment, ambient assisted living, and health monitoring and management. Studying human activity recognition shows that researchers are interested mostly in the daily activities of the human. Nowadays mobile phone is well equipped with advanced processor, more memory, powerful battery and built in sensors. This provides an opportunity to open up new areas of data mining for activity recognition of human's daily living. In the paper, the benchmark dataset is considered for this work is acquired from the WISDM laboratory, which is available in public domain. We tested experiment using AdaBoost.M1 algorithm with Decision Stump, Hoeffding Tree, Random Tree, J48, Random Forest and REP Tree to classify six activities of daily life by using Weka tool. Then we also see the test output from weka experimenter for these six classifiers. We found the using Adaboost,M1 with Random Forest, J.48 and REP Tree improves overall accuracy. We showed that the difference in accuracy for Random Forest, REP Tree and J48 algorithms compared to Decision Stump, and Hoeffding Tree is statistically significant. We also show that the accuracy of these algorithms compared to Decision Stump, and Hoeffding Tree is high, so we can say that these two algorithms achieved a statistically significantly better result than the Decision Stump, and Hoeffding Tree and Random Tree baseline.

Self-Knowledge through Self-Tracking DevicesBurcu Avci
The Digital Era introduces emerging product categories that have evolved around certain habits and concepts. One tendency in the Information Age is recording and storing quantitative and qualitative data based on an individual's life by using lifelogging and activity monitoring devices. Such products, bringing self-observation and autobiographical memory capabilities to an extreme level, have the potential to morph human beings by augmenting and altering their self-understanding through presenting previously non-existent information regarding their lives. The diversity found in this product range is increasing parallel to the growing demand. However, the meaning of these products for human life is rarely discussed. It remains a question whether these personal logs lead to an enriched self-knowledge for their users or not. This study aims to investigate the design principles and the influences of self-tracking products and services on daily life within a socio-technical framework in order to establish a connection between self-tracking by ubiquitous computing devices and the notion of self-concept.
CREW (Collaborative Research Events on the Web) aims to improve access to research event content by capturing and publishing the scholarly communication that occurs at events like conferences and workshops. This is a Virtual Research Environment funded by JISC within the UK.

Google Glass, smart watches, athletic monitoring bracelets, and even Oculus Rift, the virtual reality goggles, have triggered the imagination of mobile developers ready to explore the potential of placing a computer on the body. Researchers have been developing wearable computers for many years, but today’s miniaturized, low-cost components and powerful mobile processors have made it easy to develop devices that integrate a persons physical state, location, and gestures. These devices can solve many accessibility issues, from detecting oncoming sirens for deaf individuals to hands-free control of mobile phones, wheelchairs, and other devices. Head mounted devices track the user’s sightline, motion-based sensors track gestures and movements, and geolocation provides context specific information. This talk introduces today’s wearable computers, key research projects, and what ideas for future products.

They say 2014 is the year of wearable computers and devices. While marketed mostly towards the busy professionals and health conscious athletes, there's far more to these devices.
This presentation looks at the intersection of wearable computers and accessibility. How can these sensor filled devices provide alternative displays and gestures? How can they help a blind person see the world, a person with a mobility issue explore, track health and detect traumatic events before they happen?
This presentation was created for the Inclusive Design 24 series of webinars that celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2014.
Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.
Slide 9: Recent Research and Advances
Gene Editing: Techniques like CRISPR-Cas9 are being used to edit mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA.
Therapies: Development of mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) for preventing mitochondrial diseases.
Slide 10: Conclusion
Summary: Extrachromosomal inheritance involves the transmission of genetic material outside the nucleus and plays a crucial role in genetics, medicine, and biotechnology.
Future Directions: Continued research and technological advancements hold promise for new treatments and applications.
Slide 11: Questions and Discussion

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
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.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
