the floral formula tells us about the nature of flowers. the floral diagram represents the plan of arrangements of floral whorl in relation to the mother axis.
Floral formulas and diagrams are used to concisely summarize key characteristics of flower structures. Floral formulas use symbols to describe floral symmetry, number of sepals, petals, stamens and carpels. Additional symbols indicate features like connation, adnation, ovary position and more. Floral diagrams are cross-sectional illustrations that similarly show symmetry and part relationships, but cannot show ovary position like formulas can. Together, formulas and diagrams provide useful shorthand for comparing angiosperm flower characteristics.

characteristics of the family Orchidaceae pptAri Pooran
The Orchidaceae family is the largest family of flowering plants. Orchids come in various colors except black, and include plants like vanilla. They are found worldwide except Antarctica, especially in tropical regions. Distinguishing characteristics include a lip or labellum opposite the fertile stamen, a single anther forming a cap, and a column formed from reduced filaments and pistil parts. Seeds are dust-like and depend on fungi for germination. Orchids are used ornamentally and for perfume production, as food, and medicine.
This document provides an overview of the natural system of plant classification developed by George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker in their book Genera Plantarum. It describes the key features of their system, including dividing plants into two major groups - cryptogams (non-flowering plants) and phanerogams (flowering plants). Flowering plants are further divided into dicotyledons, monocotyledons, and gymnosperms. The system places plant families into a hierarchical structure of orders, cohorts, and series based on morphological characteristics. While pioneering for its time, the system is not fully phylogenetic and has limitations such as not clearly addressing the origin of angiosperms.
This document discusses different types of inflorescences (flower arrangements) in plants. It begins by defining the technical term "inflorescence" as a cluster of flowers. There are two main types of inflorescences: racemose and cymose. Racemose inflorescences have an unlimited growth axis and acropetal flower arrangement, with examples given as raceme, spike, spadix, corymb, umbel and capitulum (head). Cymose inflorescences have a limited growth axis and basipetal flower arrangement, with examples of uniparous (monochasial), biparous and polychasial cymes. Specific plant examples are
The leaf has two surfaces, an upper adaxial and lower abaxial side. Mesophyll tissue between the epidermis layers is made of parenchyma cells and can be palisade or spongy. Palisade cells are rod-shaped and located toward the adaxial side where most photosynthesis occurs, while spongy cells have larger air spaces and are located abaxially. Veins contain vascular bundles that transport water and nutrients throughout the leaf. Dicot leaves typically have a dorsiventral mesophyll structure with distinct palisade and spongy layers, while monocot leaves have a uniform mesophyll type. Adaptations like thick cuticles and sunken stomata help xer

This document summarizes the key characteristics of plants in the Fabaceae family, also known as legumes. It describes their distribution in temperate and subtropical regions. Most are annual or perennial herbs, shrubs, or trees with branched taproots containing nitrogen-fixing nodules. Their leaves are alternately arranged and compound, stems are branched, and flowers are usually racemose with five fused sepals and five fused petals. Economically, they are important as vegetables, pulses, and for their ability to fix nitrogen in soil.
The document summarizes the development of dicot and monocot embryos. It begins by defining embryogenesis as the process after fertilization that produces a fully developed plant embryo. It then describes the development of dicot embryos, starting with the zygote dividing into two cells, one forming the suspensor and one the embryo proper. The embryo cell divides further to form the octant stage with eight cells that develop into various embryo parts. For monocot embryos, the zygote also divides into two cells but the basal cell does not divide further and forms the suspensor directly while the embryo cell divides to form the plumule, hypocotyl, and radicle.
This document discusses different types of pollination in plants. It describes self-pollination, which can occur through autogamy within a flower or geitonogamy between different flowers of the same plant. Cross-pollination involves the transfer of pollen between different plants and can be facilitated by biotic agents like insects, birds, or abiotic factors like wind and water. The document provides examples of different pollination types and notes advantages and disadvantages of self-pollination versus cross-pollination.
Schon's models of curriculum disseminationDambar Khatri
Schon identified three models of curriculum dissemination:
1. The center-periphery model involves dissemination controlled from a central source spreading outward.
2. The proliferation of centres model establishes primary and secondary centers that both support and expand dissemination.
3. The shifting- centres method emerges from social movements and lacks clearly established secondary centers, instead dissemination responds to local demands.
Analysis of new curriculum of class 11 biology/Dambar Khatri
The document analyzes and compares the new and old class 11 biology curriculum in Nepal. The new curriculum was revised based on research and suggestions to include more practical and application-based learning. It divides content into competencies, theory, and practical sections for both botany and zoology. While course content remained similar, the new curriculum reorganized some topics, increased practical hours, emphasized projects and field work, and implemented a blended assessment approach including internal and external evaluations. The goal of the revisions was to make the curriculum more conceptual, practical, and skill-based compared to the previous knowledge-based theoretical model.

It also discusses logical inference as deriving conclusions from premises, and provides an example inference about dogs having four legs. The document outlines different rules of inference and their validity being based on form rather than truth. Finally, it discusses logical inquiry as any process aimed at increasing knowledge or solving problems, involving abductive, deductive and inductive reasoning.
This document describes the life cycle of ferns. It explains that ferns reproduce asexually through spores and sexually through gametophytes. The spores grow into heart-shaped prothalli that produce male antheridia and female archegonia for fertilization. Fertilization results in a diploid zygote that develops into a new fern sporophyte, completing the alternation of generations.
this slide for biology students and helpful for intermediate and bachelor level students. students can learn about air pollution very easily. it gives a detailed description of air pollutants, their causes, and preventive measures with a clear photograph.
Vegetative reproduction is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where new individuals are formed from vegetative organs like roots, stems, and leaves. There are two types of vegetative reproduction - natural, which occurs through modified roots, stems, and leaves; and artificial, where humans interfere to propagate plants through methods like layering, grafting, and tissue culture. Vegetative reproduction allows for the large scale, rapid production of identical new plants that inherit the parent's characteristics.
Sexual reproduction in angiosperm(microsporogenesis)Dambar Khatri
This document summarizes the process of microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis in angiosperms. Microsporogenesis involves the formation of microspores (pollen grains) from microspore mother cells within the anther through meiosis. The anther contains four layers surrounding the pollen sacs: epidermis, endothecium, middle layer, and tapetum. During microgametogenesis, the pollen grain germinates and its nucleus divides to form a vegetative cell and generative cell. The generative cell then divides into two sperm cells that are delivered to the female gametophyte via a pollen tube.
- Animal behavior is the reaction and expression of organisms in response to external stimuli in their environment. This includes both innate, genetically determined behaviors as well as learned behaviors acquired through experience.
- Reflex actions are automatic, involuntary responses to stimuli that occur very quickly via neural pathways between receptors, the spinal cord, and effectors. An example is withdrawing one's hand from a hot object.
- The mechanism of a reflex involves stimulation of sensory receptors, conduction of impulses through sensory neurons to the spinal cord, modulation in the spinal cord, and transmission of impulses through motor neurons to effector organs to produce the reflex response.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

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 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.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
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.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

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.

2. At first we need to know..
• Floral formula tells us about nature of flower. Following natures of flowers are written symbolically to write
floral formula
• Bracteate or ebracteate
• Symmetry of flower( actinomorphic or zygomorphic)
• Sexuality of flower
• Number of sepals
• Union of sepals( poly or gamosepalous)
• Number of petals
• Union of petals (poly or gamopetalous)
• Number and union of stamens and carpels
3.
4. Symbols used for different floral characters..
• Bracteate – Br Unisexual, male - ⚦
• Ebracteate- Ebr Unisexual female- ♀
• Bracteolate- Brl Neuter- N
• Ebracteolate- Ebrl Calyx, sepals- K
• Actinomorphic- ⊕ Corolla, petals- C
• Zygomorphic - % Perianth, tapals- P
• Bisexual- ⚥ Androecium, stamen- A
• Gynoecium, carpel- G
5. Some basic ideas..
• Number of floral leaves are written after their symbol.
• If the number of sepals is five, 5 is written after K. If it is polysepalous then it is
written as K5 and if it gamosepalous, it is written as K(5).
• In case of epipetalous stamen, an arc is given joining C and A like
• If ovary is superior, horizontal line is drawn below the number of carpels. Eg G(2)
• If the ovary is inferior, the horizontal line is drawn above the number of carpels. Eg,
G(2)
• Let us see the floral formula: Ebr ⊕ K2+2 C4 A2+4 G(2)
6. Floral diagram
• Floral diagram represents the plan of arrangements of floral whorls in relation to mother axis. It
describes most of the feathers of a flower like symmetry, regular, irregular, sexuality, number of
floral parts, relation between floral parts, nature of anthers, lobes of ovary placentation etc.
• T.S. of ovary is present in the center of floral diagram. Whorl of androecium, corolla, calyx are
drawn inside to outside of ovary.
• The sepals are represented by arc, androecium are represented by single or double kidney shaped
spots. If they are epipetalous, stamen and petals are joined by line.
• For gamopetalous or gamosepalous condition, adjacent petals or sepals are joined.
• Mother axis is represented by dots. If flower is bractate, additional arc is drawn at the anterior
side of flower diagram.
