The document summarizes the arc-discharge method for synthesizing carbon nanotubes. In the arc-discharge method, a plasma is generated between two graphite electrodes in an inert gas atmosphere by applying a voltage. Parameters like gas pressure, electrode material/purity, distance between electrodes, cooling, and current/voltage determine the structures formed. Single-walled nanotubes are produced when metals like iron and nickel are added to the anode along with sulfur, which acts as a surfactant. The arc-discharge method can produce high-quality multi-walled and single-walled carbon nanotubes for applications in electronics, batteries, solar cells, and more.
The document discusses various principles and processes involved in the isolation of elements through metallurgy. It describes how elements are found in nature, either in native state or combined state in minerals and ores. It then explains the metallurgical processes of crushing and grinding ores, concentrating the ore through various methods, converting the concentrated ore into metal oxides through calcination or roasting.

This document summarizes different types of defects in crystals. It classifies defects as zero-dimensional point defects, one-dimensional line defects, two-dimensional surface defects, or three-dimensional bulk defects. Point defects include vacancies, interstitials, Frenkel defects, and Schottky defects. Line defects include edge and screw dislocations. Surface defects include grain boundaries and twin boundaries. Bulk defects include precipitates, dispersants, inclusions, and voids. Defects can impact material properties and are sometimes deliberately introduced to improve properties.
The document discusses the magnetic properties of materials. Magnetism arises from the spin and orbital angular momentum of electrons. Diamagnetic materials have paired electrons and are weakly repelled by magnetic fields. Paramagnetic materials have unpaired electrons and are weakly attracted to magnetic fields. Magnetic susceptibility measures a material's magnetization in a magnetic field, providing information about its electronic configuration and orbital energies based on paired vs unpaired electrons.
It's simple to understand the synthesis. Hydrothermal method is a chemical reaction in water in a sealed pressure vessel, which is in fact a type of reaction at both high temperature and pressure.
Wavelength dispersive spectrometers use crystals to diffract x-rays of specific wavelengths from a sample into a detector. They work by aligning the crystal, sample, and detector on a curved surface called the Rowland circle. Flat crystals with collimators and curved crystals with slits can be used to improve the resolution of x-ray wavelengths detected. WDS is useful for non-destructive elemental analysis of small spots down to ppm concentrations but cannot detect elements below boron.

Colour centres are point defects or defect clusters in crystal lattices that cause the material to change color. They occur when electrons or holes become trapped at defect sites. Common examples are the F-centre in alkali halides, which forms when an electron is trapped at a halide ion vacancy, and the H-centre and V-centre in alkali halides, which involve trapped holes. Defect clusters can also form through the interaction of multiple point defects, such as pairs or groups of F-centres. The defects cause color changes by absorbing visible light and exciting trapped electrons or holes to higher energy states.

1. Solid solutions occur when atoms of a solute dissolve into the crystal lattice of a solvent in the solid state. There are two main types of solid solutions: substitutional and interstitial.
2. In a substitutional solid solution, atoms of the solute substitute for atoms of the solvent in the lattice. This can be ordered, with solute and solvent atoms arranged in specific sites, or disordered.
3. In an interstitial solid solution, atoms of the solute occupy the spaces between atoms of the solvent in the lattice. This only occurs when the solute atom is much smaller than the solvent.
The structure factor (Fhkl) describes how the atomic arrangement influences the intensity of scattered x-rays in diffraction patterns. It is calculated as the sum of all atomic scattering factors multiplied by their positions. Fhkl tells us which diffraction peaks (hkl reflections) will be present. Different crystal structures have characteristic Fhkl equations and diffraction patterns depending on their atomic positions. Examples include simple cubic, body centered cubic, face centered cubic, NaCl, L12, and MoSi2 structures.
Crystal defects occur when the regular patterns of atoms in crystalline materials are interrupted. There are several types of crystal defects including point defects, line defects, and plane defects. Point defects are defects that occur at or around a single lattice point and include vacancies, interstitials, and substitutions. Vacancies occur when an atom is missing from its normal position in the crystal lattice. Interstitials occur when an atom occupies a position between normal lattice sites. Substitutions occur when a foreign atom replaces a host atom in the lattice. The presence of defects is necessary for crystals to have stability at any non-zero temperature due to the contribution of defects to entropy.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
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.

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.
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.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
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.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
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.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

Editor's Notes
Good morning, let me disscuss the most hardest naturally occaring mineral in the world..
Diamond is the hardest natural substance known.
whare formed deep in the mantle, and brought to the surface via kimberlite pipes other rocks that originate deep within the mantle.
Also we can found in alluvial deposits, along with quartz, corundum, zircon and other minerals, derived from such rocks, and in certain meteorites.
Diamond is the allotrope of carbon in which the carbon atoms are arranged in the specific type of cubic lattice called diamond cubic.
Also Diamond is an optically isotropic crystal that is transparent to opaque.
Owing to its strong covalent bonding, diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material known.
But, due to important structural weaknesses, diamond's toughness is only fair to good.
precise tensile strength of diamond is unknown, however strength up to 60 GPa has been observed, and it could be as high as 90–225 GPa depending on the crystal orientation.
Diamond has a high refractive index (2.417) and moderate dispersion (0.044) properties which give cut diamonds their brilliance.
Trace impurities substitutionally replacing carbon atoms in a diamond's crystal lattice, and in some cases structural defects, are responsible for the wide range of colors seen in diamond.
Most diamonds are electrical insulators but extremely efficient thermal conductors.
Unlike many other minerals, the specific gravity of diamond crystals (3.52) has rather small variation from diamond to diamond.
Let me discuss the physical properties of diamond
It has very high melting point almost 4000°C degrees due to strong carbon-carbon covalent bonds
Same time it is very hard due to the need high energy to break very strong covalent bonds operating in 3-dimensions.
because of this hardness diamond scoring 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Diamond doesn't conduct electricity because all the electrons are tightly bonded between the atoms.
It Is insoluble in water and organic solvents because There are no possible attractions can generate to breakdown strong covalent bonds
In some cases diamond aggregates having nanometer grain size are harder and tougher than large diamond crystals, And they perform better as abrasive material.
Diamond hardness can be vary form 167GPa to 310 Gpa due to the direction
Hardness is directional: some cases the hardest direction100 times harder than the softest direction
The precise tensile strength of diamond is unknown, however strength up to 60 GPa has been observed,
The faces of diamond octahedrons are highly lustrous because of there high hardness
Also triangular shaped growth defects can be observe.
And Because of its great hardness and strong molecular bonding, faces and edges appear the flattest and sharpest in the range
When it comes to structure, we can describe it as giant covalent structure of diamond,
where
Carbon has an electronic arrangement of 2,4.
And each carbon shares electrons with four other carbon atoms while forming four single bonds.
Toughness relates to the ability to resist breakage from falls or impacts
Because of diamond's perfect and easy cleavage, it is vulnerable to break
And Unlike hardness, diamond's toughness or tenacity is only fair to good
Because of this, diamond can shatter by hiting with an ordinary hammer.
When it comes to optical properties,
We can observe Diamonds in various colors: black, brown, yellow, gray, white, blue, orange, purple to pink and red likevise.
There coloration occurs Cdue to crystallographic defects, including substitutional impurities and structural defects.
Anyhow Theoretically, pure diamonds should be transparent and colorless.
The luster of a diamond described as 'adamantine', which simply means diamond-like
The refractive index is 2.417. Because it is cubic in structure,
And,
Diamonds exhibit fluorescence, that is, they emit light of various colors and intensities under long-wave ultraviolet light
Also
diamonds have a visible absorption spectrum consisting of a fine line in the violet at 415.5 nm range
Electrical properties,
Except for most natural blue diamonds, most diamonds are semiconductors due to substitutional boron impurities replacing carbon atoms.
Diamond is a good electrical insulator, which having resistivity of (1011 to 1018 Ω·m)
Theses mineral has Uncommon magnetic properties were we can observed in diamond nanocrystals.
Also diamond is a good conductor of heat because of the strong covalent bonding.
Thermal conductivity of natural diamond was measured to be about 22 W/(cm·K), which is five times more than copper.
A “synthetic diamond” is a diamond, produced through chemical and physical processes in laboratory conditions.
After the 1797 discovery that diamond was pure carbon, many attempts were made to convert various cheap forms of carbon into diamond.
Anyhow The earliest successes were reported by James Hannay in 1879
Todays world Synthetic diamond is also widely known as HPHT diamond or CVD diamond
There are several methods used to produce synthetic diamond.
The original method uses high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) and is still widely used because of its relatively low cost.
The process involves large presses that can weigh hundreds of tons to produce a pressure of 5 GPa at 1500 °C.
The second method, using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), creates a carbon plasma over a substrate onto which the carbon atoms deposit to form diamond.
Other methods include explosive formation and sonication of graphite solutions are still in R&D level
Due to the extraordinary properties of diamond such as extreme hardness, chemical inertness, optical transparency, high thermal conductivity ,electrical insulation more and more fields of applications recognize the benefits provided by this material.
D’s are widely used in oil and gas drills as no other material is capable of handling the extreme conditions such as high P&T. by these diamond bits Large economic benefits are gained by rig drilling operators.
And diamonds are Ideal ‘window’ material for industrial applications, R&D, defence and laser applications
infrared windows,
lenses,
X-ray windows
Also All types of electronic and electrical applications in which build-up of heat can severely impact or destroy circuits.
Also used As a ‘heat sink’ for sensitive components used in the telecommunications industry and in microelectronic devices.
In the production of laser optics where synthetic diamond provides optimum exit windows for CO2 lasers, such as those used in automotive cutting applications.
Synthetic diamond-based products are being used in industrial and household water treatment plants.
And In advanced healthcare applications such as therapy for eye cancer patients where synthetic diamond-based radiation detectors ensure the delivery of the correct dosage to precisely target only the cancer-affected tissue and not the healthy tissue around it.
Also diamonds used As surgical scalpel in neuro surgery.
And Researchers are trying to develop synthetic diamond-based quantum computer technology that could enable faster data processing and secure communication.
Polycrystalline CVDs are an essential component in high performance loudspeakers.
And last, not least diamonds use As consumer diamond gemstones.
