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.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
3. DISEASES OF DENTAL PULP
• INTRODUCTION
• CAUSES OF PULPAL DISEASES
• PATHWAYS OF BACTERIAL INVASION
OF PULP
• REACTION OF PULP TO INVASION
• CLASSIFICATION OF PULPAL
DISEASES
4. INTRODUCTION
• Pulp is the formative organ of tooth
• The pulp responses to heat and cold stimuli
which are perceived as pain. Pulp can tolerate
temperatures between 60°f and 130°f.
• A normal pulp is asymptomatic within normal
limits and produces a mild to moderate transient
responses to thermal and electrical stimuli, when
stimulus is removed the pain subsides almost
immediately.
• Radiographs show an intact lamina dura.
5. PATHWAYS OF BACTERIAL
INVASION OF PULP
A) Direct invasion by way of the dentin such as
• Caries
• Fracture of crown or root
• Exposure during cavity preparation
• Attrition, abrasion ,erosion
• Crack in crown
B) Invasion through open blood vessels or lymphatics –
periodontal diseases, an accessory canal in furcation
area, gingival infection.
C) Invasion trough blood such as during infectious
diseases or transient bacteremia.
7. REVERSIBLE PULPITIS
• Definition:
Reversible pulpitis is a mild to
moderate inflammatory condition of pulp caused
by noxious stimuli in which the pulp is capable of
returning to un inflamed state following removal
of stimulus.
• Histopathology:
Reparative dentine, disruption of
odontoblastic layer, dilated blood vessels,
extravasations of oedema fluid ,chronic
inflammatory cells.
8. • Cause:
Trauma
Disturbed Occlusal relationship
Thermal shock
Overheating during polishing a filling
Excessive dehydration of a cavity
• Symptoms:
Sharp pain lasting for a moment which is
mainly caused by cold beverages than hot
foods.
9. • Diagnosis:
By the study of patients symptoms and
by clinical tests, pain is sharp, lasts for few
seconds and disappears when stimulus is
removed.
• Differential diagnosis:
Irreversible pulpitis.
• Treatment:
Periodic care to prevent development of
caries, early insertion of filling, desensitization of
necks of teeth, use of cavity varnish or base.
10. IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS
• Definition:
Irreversible pulpitis is a persistent
inflammatory condition of pulp,
symptomatic or asymptomatic caused by a
noxious stimulus.
• Cause:
Caries
Chemical ,thermal or mechanical irritation
11. • Histopathology :
Microscopically we can see
Areas of abscesses
Zone of necrotic tissue
Micro organisms
Lymphocytes
Plasma cells
Macrophages
12. Symptoms:
• A paroxysm of pain is caused by sudden
temperature change, pressure from packing
foods into a cavity .
• Pain continues on removal of cause has been
removed.
• Pain comes spontaneously without apparent
cause.
• Pain is of sharp piercing type. it may be
continuous or intermittent.
• Change of position may increase intra pulpal
pressure which may exacerbate the pain.
14. CHRONIC HYPERPLASTIC
PULPITIS
Definition:
Chronic hyperplastic pulpitis or pulp polyp is a
productive pulpal inflammation due to an extensive
carious exposure of a pulp.
Histopathology:
It consists of granulation tissue and is covered by
stratified squamous epithelium. Polymorphonuclear
neutrophils. lymphocytes, and plasma cells are also
seen.
15. Cause:
• Slow ,progressive carious exposure of the
pulp is the cause.
Symptoms:
• This condition is symptom less, except
during mastication when pressure of food
bolus may cause discomfort.
16.
17. Diagnosis:
Fleshy reddish pulpal mass fills
most of pulp chamber or extends beyond
the confines of tooth .This is characteristic
feature of pulp polyp which is seen mostly
in teeth of children ad young adults .
Radiographs show a large open
cavity with direct access to pulp.
More current than normal is required
to elicit response by means of electric pulp
tester.
19. INTERNAL RESORPTION
Definition:
Internal resorption is an idiopathic
slow or fast progressive resorptive process
occurring in the dentin of the pulp chamber
or root canals of the teeth.
Cause:
Cause is not known.
Often history of trauma present.
20. Histopathology:
Resorptive process leads to lacunae
formation which may be filled with
• Osteoid tissue
• Granulation tissue is present
• Multinucleated giant cells
• Metaplasia of the pulp is also seen.
Symptoms:
Internal resorption in root is asymptomatic.
In crown it is seen as pink spot.
21. .
Diagnosis:

routine radiographic examination.
Radiographically there will be a change in the wall of
root canal or pulp chamber with a round or ovoid
radiolucent area .
Differential diagnosis:
External root resorption.
Treatment:
Extirpation of pulp.

25. • Calcific degeneration:
In calcific degeneration part of pulp tissue
is replaced by calcific material, that is pulp
stones or denticles are formed.
• Atrophic degeneration:
In atrophic degeneration fewer stellate
cells are present in pulp and intercellular fluid is
increased.
• Fibrous degeneration:
In this type of degeneration pulp is
characterized by replacement of cellular
elements y fibrous connective tissue

ligament.
• Necrosed pulp does not respond to thermal test
Histopathology:
• Necrotic pulp tissue
• Cellular debris
• Microorganisms
