Form vs Function: A Classification System for Rock Features
•
1 like•644 views
This document presents a classification system for rock features found in archaeological and historical sites. It summarizes previous research that identified and categorized rock feature types based on attributes and morphological characteristics. This classification system builds on that work by expanding the number of rock feature types and subtypes. It also records additional attributes of rock features like size, distance to trails and other sites, and searches for patterns to further identify and classify rock feature functions. The goal is to develop a robust typology of rock features to aid in archaeological site assessments and investigations.

Cretaceous Period Earth Science Project
The Cretaceous Period lasted from 144 to 65 million years ago. It saw the rise of flowering plants and the end of the dinosaurs. During this period, the continents continued to drift apart from the single landmass of Pangea. New groups of mammals, birds, and insects appeared while dinosaurs like T-Rex and Triceratops dominated on land. In the oceans, marine reptiles like plesiosaurs and mosasaurs were abundant. By the end of the Cretaceous, a mass extinction wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species.
Evolution Review
The document provides an overview of the key concepts and evidence related to the theory of evolution. It outlines the major eras in Earth's history from the Precambrian to the Quaternary period. It also discusses several important figures in the development of evolutionary thought such as Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Charles Lyell. Darwin's voyage on the Beagle and subsequent publication of On the Origin of Species which established natural selection as the mechanism driving evolution are summarized. Other evidence for evolution discussed includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, and molecular biology.
Fossil notes 6th
Fossils provide clues about past environments and organisms. A fossil is any remains or evidence of living things from the past. Most organisms decay rather than become fossils, but fossils are more likely to form when an organism is buried quickly, especially if it had a hard structure like teeth or shells that could withstand decay. Fossils tell us about Earth's past environments, plants and animals by preserving evidence of organisms that lived long ago.
P P T Fossils 9
Fossils are remains or imprints of organisms that lived in the past. They can form in five ways: by being buried and preserved in sedimentary rock, trapped in amber, frozen in ice, replaced by minerals through petrification, or trapped in tar or asphalt. Fossils provide information to scientists about past organisms, environments, and how organisms have evolved over time. Certain index fossils are especially useful for determining the age of rock layers based on the period when that type of organism lived.

LSUMNS fossil types
This document provides information about different types of fossils and how they are formed. It discusses fossil molds and casts, explaining that a mold is formed when an organism decays leaving a cavity in the rock, and a cast is created when sediment fills this mold, taking on the shape of the original organism. It also describes other fossil types like carbonization, permineralization, and trace fossils like tracks and burrows. The document aims to explain how fossil molds and casts are made through the processes of death, deposition, burial, and mineral replacement of organic remains over time.
Fossils
Fossils are the remains or physical evidence of organisms preserved through geological processes. They are most often preserved in sedimentary rock, as sediment slows decay. Bones and shells are more commonly preserved than soft tissues since they are more resistant to decay. There are several types of fossils including those preserved in rock, amber, through petrification where tissues are replaced by minerals, in asphalt, frozen fossils from ice ages, and trace fossils which are fossilized tracks or shelters. Index fossils are fossils used to date rock layers as they are only found in specific geological periods.
Chad_Goings
This document describes a predictive model for lithic resources in Iowa created using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The model uses two methods: 1) Comparing interpolated bedrock surfaces to ground elevations to predict outcrop zones. This predicted 24 of 27 known outcrops. 2) Using statistical modeling with four predictors to model likelihood of outcrops. Tests showed the predictors accurately distinguished known outcrops from other areas. The model could help study lithic procurement and a site example showed use of high quality non-local materials over local low quality materials.

Geologic Time
The document discusses geological time and methods for determining the relative ages of rocks and fossils. It introduces concepts like uniformitarianism, superposition, cross-cutting relationships, and index fossils that allow scientists to correlate rock layers across different locations. Modern dating techniques like radioactive decay allow assignment of absolute ages by measuring the decay of isotopes. The geological time scale is divided into eras, periods, and epochs with defined spans of time defined by dominant forms of life.
big dinosaur evidence
1) A geology professor and his students from Colorado College travel each summer to fossil sites in the Midwest and West to collect dinosaur teeth.
2) By analyzing the chemical composition of the enamel on the teeth, they can learn about the dinosaurs' diets and environments.
3) Their research has provided evidence that different dinosaur species ate different plants rather than competing for the same food sources, and that dinosaurs tended to remain in localized areas rather than migrating long distances.

form follows function!
The document discusses Louis Sullivan and his principle of "form follows function" in architecture. It provides background on Sullivan, describes some of his most famous buildings like the Wainwright Building and Guaranty Building, and how they demonstrated his principle. Sullivan saw that skyscrapers demanded a new aesthetic that echoed their steel frame structure and function on the interior and exterior. He is considered the father of modern American architecture for his rejection of historical ornamentation in favor of designs emphasizing structure and function.

The study tested whether using real-time ultrasound guidance for percutaneous dilational tracheostomy (PDT) improved the accuracy of tracheal puncture compared to the traditional anatomical landmark technique. It randomized 50 patients to receive PDT using either ultrasound guidance or anatomical landmarks. Ultrasound guidance significantly improved puncture accuracy and the first pass success rate. While fewer complications occurred with ultrasound, this difference was not statistically significant due to the small sample size. The study concluded that ultrasound guidance can improve PDT accuracy and its wider use should be considered.
ED give presentation
More than 1500 people are waiting for organ transplants in Australia while only a small fraction of potential donors in emergency departments are identified. One organ donor can save or improve the lives of many patients. While the majority of Australians support organ donation, current practices are missing opportunities to increase the donor pool. Careful screening can allow organs from donors once considered unsuitable, such as those with diabetes, hepatitis, or a history of smoking, to be donated.

Three key factors are important to focus on when creating an effective presentation: structure, visuals, and public speaking skills. First, understand the audience and their needs to determine the appropriate structure, including the main points and how to guide the audience on a journey through the presentation. Second, use visual aids like graphics, pictures and videos to capture attention, stimulate memory and enhance understanding, but have a clear purpose for each one. Third, practice strong public speaking skills such as making eye contact, varying vocal tones, and purposeful movement to effectively guide the listener through the presentation. With attention to these three factors of structure, visuals and speaking ability, any presentation can be more useful and engaging for the audience.
STEP Presentation
The document discusses the new pension landscape in the UK following reforms that provide more flexibility in how pensions can be accessed. It summarizes the key opportunities and risks of the changes. The reforms replace the previous system of typically buying an annuity with more options to take lump sums or income from defined contribution pensions as needed. While this provides more freedom and opportunities for tax planning, it also increases the risk of depleting pension pots too quickly and paying more tax. The document outlines some strategies individuals and businesses can consider under the new rules.

Genetic errors due to DNA Polymerase
DNA replication involves copying genetic material to produce new DNA molecules. Errors can occur during this process due to DNA polymerase, the enzyme responsible for DNA replication. A new study tracked DNA polymerase enzymes and found they can leave behind scaffolding sections during replication that contain errors. These scaffolds become trapped in regulatory regions of DNA and can lead to genetic diseases and cancer by altering important genetic switches. Understanding where errors occur provides insight into disease development and could help researchers develop more targeted treatments.

HFT Final
This document discusses high frequency trading (HFT) and provides arguments on both sides of the debate around HFT's impact on stock markets. It begins by introducing HFT and explaining that HFT firms use complex algorithms and extremely high speeds, measured in nanoseconds, to execute trades. While HFT provides liquidity and pricing efficiency, critics argue it can disadvantage larger investors and the secrecy around HFT raises concerns. The document ultimately concludes that while HFT is a fragile system, evidence does not clearly support the view that HFT negatively impacts markets.

Schizophrenia
The document discusses schizophrenia and the role of 14-3-3 proteins. It finds that levels of 14-3-3β and 14-3-3ζ proteins are significantly higher in the prefrontal cortex of schizophrenia patients not taking antipsychotics, compared to controls. However, protein levels are not significantly different between schizophrenia patients taking antipsychotics and controls. The study also finds no significant difference in 14-3-3 protein levels between depressed patients and controls. This suggests 14-3-3 proteins may be involved in schizophrenia pathology but not depressive disorders.

Forensic anthropology is the application of biological anthropology principles to legal investigations. Experts in this field analyze skeletal remains to determine the identity, age, sex, and possible cause of death, playing a crucial role in solving crimes and providing insights into human remains' historical and archaeological contexts.
Archaeology 101
Archaeologists find sites through surveying areas on foot, using aerial photography, and GIS systems. They look for soil marks, mounds, and changes in vegetation that could indicate artifacts or features of past human activity. During excavation, they carefully document contextual information about artifacts, features, ecofacts, and the soil matrix to reconstruct past human life at a site. After excavation, artifacts are analyzed, data is shared through publications and conferences to draw conclusions about past human subsistence strategies, social organization, and other aspects of life.

CemeteryAnalysis
Massachusetts has a unique archaeological resource in its many colonial graveyards. These contain a large number of precisely dated “artifacts” in the form of headstones and provide an opportunity for studies of the ways in which different aspects of British colonial and Euro- American culture have changed over time. For this assignment, you will visit a local cemetery of your choosing and use the headstones and other associated material culture to address questions aimed at understanding demographic, social, symbolic, or technological issues in the past. This assignment does not require any archaeological excavation, and your instructor and federal, state, and local laws expressly forbid you from doing any! The project also does not require you to do any additional background research, although you are welcome to do so. Please
respect these cemeteries, the individuals buried therein, and any visitors you may encounter during your study.

Laws of stratigraphy
This document discusses the key principles of stratigraphy, which is the branch of geology that studies the layers of rock in the Earth's crust and the history they record. It outlines several important principles including superposition, original horizontality, lateral continuity, crosscutting relationships, and fossil succession. These principles are used to interpret the relative ages of rock layers and the geological events they provide evidence of, such as mountain building, climate change, and evolution of plant and animal life over time. Examples are given to illustrate principles like unconformities, folding, faulting, and how they impact the interpretation of rock sequences.

Water Fountain hands
The document analyzes the minerals that compose the Headwaters Fountain at Texas Tech University. Through observation of properties like color, grain size, cleavage, and hardness, the author determines that the rock is composed of potassium feldspar, quartz, garnet, and biotite. These minerals combine to form granodiorite, a common igneous and metamorphic rock. Characterization of the individual minerals provided evidence to conclude the rock type of the fountain is granodiorite.

The document discusses the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. It provides details on the formation of each rock type. Igneous rocks form from cooling magma, sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from changes to existing rocks through heat and pressure. It also describes the rock cycle, where one rock type can transform into another through geological processes over long periods of time.

This document summarizes John Robb's paper on the relationship between prehistoric ritual landscapes in Wessex, England and how they are currently conserved and presented as heritage sites. It discusses how the concept of ritual landscapes has evolved in archaeology to view large territories reserved for spiritual purposes during the Neolithic and Bronze Ages, using Stonehenge and Avebury as examples. It also examines how movement through these landscapes was important for collective memory formation and how phenomenological approaches aim to understand the syntaxes and meanings encoded in their monument placements. However, some critiques argue landscape meanings and woodland changes are often unknown. The document questions how well prehistoric ritual landscapes have been incorporated into modern heritage interpretation.

Part 5 geology - gradulaism or catastrophism
1) The document discusses the geologic column and its origins, noting that it was originally devised by catastrophist creationist geologists in the early 19th century, not evolutionists.
2) It discusses several common misconceptions about the geologic column, including that its order is not always consistent globally and that physical appearance alone cannot reliably assign rock layers to their position in the column.
3) Reliable assignment of rock layers to their position is best done through bed-to-bed comparison to known system types, not just through fossil evidence.

This document summarizes a study of artifacts made from a distinctive reddish siliceous rock found at early archaeological sites in the Argentine Pampas dating between 10,000-11,000 years ago. Petrographic analysis showed the rock used came from quarries and deposits in central and southern Uruguay, indicating long distance transport. Within social networks of the time, this transport reflected interaction between groups in Argentina and Uruguay during the Pleistocene/Holocene transition.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
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.

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 use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
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).

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
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.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
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.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selection

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
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.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
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.
