The document provides an overview of the digestive system, including its organs and processes. It discusses the breakdown of ingested food through digestion and absorption of nutrients. The key organs that are involved in digestion include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, pancreas, and salivary glands. The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules through both mechanical and chemical digestion before nutrients are absorbed and unused waste is eliminated.
The digestive system breaks down ingested food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. It includes the alimentary canal and accessory organs. In the alimentary canal, food is ingested, digested, and absorbed. Accessory organs like the liver, pancreas and gallbladder secrete enzymes and bile to aid in digestion. Nutrients are then absorbed and circulated while waste is eliminated, completing the digestive process.
The document summarizes key aspects of nutrition and digestion in animals. It discusses the four main stages of food processing - ingestion, digestion, absorption and elimination. It provides details on the digestive systems of different animal groups and focuses on the human digestive system. The human system consists of the alimentary canal and accessory glands. Food moves through the system via peristalsis and is broken down mechanically and chemically. Nutrients are then absorbed and transported to cells for energy production or storage. A balanced diet provides essential nutrients, fuels the body, and builds molecules.
The urinary system functions to eliminate waste from the body, regulate water balance and electrolyte levels, and maintain acid-base balance. It includes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys contain nephrons which filter blood to form urine via filtration, reabsorption, and secretion processes. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder via ureters and stored in the bladder before being emptied through the urethra. The urinary system works with other systems like respiration to precisely regulate water balance, electrolyte levels, and pH in order to maintain homeostasis.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

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.

The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
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.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
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.
3. Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract
• A continuous, hollow coiled tube that
digests food, breaks it down, and absorbs
the fragments through its lining into the
blood
16. Stomach Functions
Slide
Acts as a storage tank for food
Site of food breakdown
Chemical breakdown of protein begins
Delivers chyme (processed food) to the
small intestine
Produces 2-3L/day of gastric juice (HCl,
enzymes, & mucus)
Regulated by neural & hormonal factors
17. Diseases and Disorders
• Heartburn – occurs when the cardio-esophageal
sphincter fails to close tightly and gastric juice
backs up into the esophagus
• Hiatal hernia – superior part of the stomach
protrudes above the diaphragm allowing juices to
go into the esopahgus
• Vomiting – reverse movement of food, brought
about by a signal from the medulla
18. • It takes 4 hours for the stomach
to empty after a well-balanced
meal and 6 hours for a fatty
meal
35. Structures of the Large Intestine
Slide
Ileocecal valve – btwn small & large
intestine
Cecum – saclike 1st part of the large
intestine
Appendix
Accumulation of lymphatic tissue that
sometimes becomes inflamed
(appendicitis)
Hangs from the cecum
40. Diseases and Disorders
• Diarrhea – results when water is not
sufficiently absorbed by large intestine (can
be due to bacteria)
• Constipation – results when too much water
is absorbed by the large intestine
57. Metabolism
• Metabolism – chemical reactions that are
necessary to maintain life
– Catabolism – substances are broken down,
energy released and captured to make ATP
– Anabolism – small molecules come together to
form larger molecules
58. How to maintain blood glucose
(sugar) levels…
• Blood circulates through the liver and
glucose is removed. If the body has an
abundance, glucose is made into gycogen.
This is called glycogenesis.
• If the body is low on sugar, the liver will
break down the glycogen into sugar. This is
called glycogenolysis.
59. Carbohydrate metabolism
• Cellular respiration – glucose is broken
down, releasing chemical energy to form
ATP
• Glucose + O2 = CO2 + H20 + ATP
• If too much sugar is in the blood, it si
converted to FAT!
60. Fat metabolism
• Most of it occurs in the liver
• Fat is broken down into acetic acid. Then it
is oxidized and CO2, H2O, and ATP are
formed.
• This occurs when there are low amounts of
sugar in the blood.
61. Protein metabolism
• Amino acids (make up proteins) are used to
make ATP only when proteins are over
abundant or carbs. and fats are not
available.
• Amino acids are oxidized and ammonia
(NH3) is given off (secreted). The rest if the
amino acids enter the citric acid cycle.
64. Diseases and Disorders
• Gallstones occur when bile is stored for too
long and fat crystallizes
• Jaundice – bile enters the blood stream and
tissues become yellow
72. Nutrition cont.
• Vitamins: need a balanced diet to obtain
essential vitamins
• Most fxn as a coenzyme (act w/out an enzyme to
complete a rxn)
• Mineral – body requires 7 minerals (Ca, P, K, S,
Na, Cl, Mg)
• Water
73. What nutrients do for the body
• Carbohydrates – broken down to form ATP
• Lipids – build cell membranes, make
myelin sheath and insulates the body
• Proteins – major structure for building cells
75. Metabolic rate
• Basal metabolic rate – the amount of heat
produced by the body per unit of time while at
rest. This represents the energy supply a person
needs to perform essential life activities.
• Ex. 154lb adult has a BMR of 60-72 kcal/hr
• Total metabolic rate – total amount of kilocalories
the body must consume to fuel all ongoing
activities
76. Factors that influence BMR
• Surface area, gender, age, and thyroid
• Younger people have a high BMR
• Smaller people have a lower BMR
• Hyperthyroidism – excessive metabolic rate
= thin
• Hypothyroidism – slower metabolic rate =
obese
77. Diseases and Disorders
• Frostbite – when the body is exposed to low
temperatures. Capillaries constrict to keep
blood deeper for the internal organs.
• Shivering – occurs when internal body
becomes too cold; this produces heat
• Hypothermia – extremely low body temp.
This results from prolonged exposure to the
cold; vital signs decrease
78. Diseases and Disorders
• If the body is hot, capillaries become flushed with
warm blood, releasing heat. Sweating will occur.
Heat stroke or heat exhaustion can occur.
• Cleft palate – palate does not form properly;
deformities of mouth, nose, and lips
• Cystic fibrosis – excessive mucus impairs activity
of pancreas. Fat and fat-soluble vit. are not
digested
79. Diseases and Disorders
