Geology is the study of the Earth, including its composition, structure, physical properties, history and processes. It includes disciplines like mineralogy, petrology, geomorphology, paleontology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, geophysics and oceanography. Geology has many applications and is important for understanding Earth's processes, evaluating natural resources, managing the environment, assessing geologic hazards, and other areas. The key branches of geology are physical geology, historical geology, mineralogy, petrology, economic geology, engineering geology, paleontology, and environmental geology. Geology plays an important role in mining, engineering, scientific development and other fields through applications like resource evaluation, site selection, and hazard assessment.

Introduction to Geoscience
Course 5113 introduces the fundamental character of the physical Earth; how it was formed and developed over time. Students will study the processes by which igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks form and the type of landforms, for example volcanoes, produced by such processes. The nature and formation of the sea floor, the continents, and the mountain belts of the world will be studied in terms of the theory of plate tectonics, which describes how the outer part of the Earth is broken into large fragments (plates) that are in continuous motion relative to each other. One consequence of this motion is the buildup of stress and strain within the crust and underlying mantle, resulting in the generation of earthquakes.
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.

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.
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.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

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).
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.

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.

Geology Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
The sciences that deal with one or more aspects of the earth are grouped in to earth sciences i.e.,
Geology.
The term Geology is a Greek word meaning earth science (Geo = earth and logos = science). It is
the science that deals with the study of the earth as a whole and includes the study on the origin,
age and structure of the earth on one hand and with the evolution, modification and extinction of
surface and subsurface features (like mountains, valleys, plains and plateaus) on the other hand. It
also deals with the materials making up the earth with the nature of the atmosphere and the
hydrosphere.
BRANCHES OF GEOLOGY AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF GEOLOGY WITH THE OTHER
SCIENCE SUBJECTS:
Geology is divided into several branches namely-
(1) PHYSICAL GEOLOGY:
It deals with the origin, development and ultimate products of various surface features of the earth
on one hand and the structure of the earth as a whole on the other hand. The role played by
internal (Volcanism & earthquakes) and external (wind, water & ice action) agents on the physical
features of the earth makes an important part of the branch. This branch includes-
a) STRUCTURAL OR TECTONIC GEOLOGY: It deals with the different kinds of structures
produced in the earth crust (faults, folds, joints, basins etc.), as a result of the tectonic
movements of the earths crust.
b) DYNAMICAL GEOLOGY: It deals with the agencies both inside and outside, which tend to
bring about changes upon the earth's surface.
c) GEOMORPHOLOGY: This deals with the surface features of the earth, mainly the land
surface, which involves their development, structure, modification etc., thus evolution of
slopes, depressions, plains, valleys and plateaus by various aerial and subaerial agencies
are of importance.
2) MINERALOGY, CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AND PETROLOGY: These deal with minerals and
rocks. Mineralogy is the study of minerals, which includes the study of mineral formation, mineral
chemistry, mineral association, mineral analysis and their distribution. Crystallography is the study
of crystals, their formation, their inner structure and forms. Petrology is the study of rocks involving
their formation (origin), association and mode of occurrence etc.
3) HISTORICAL GEOLOGY OR STRATIGRAPHY: It deals with the past history of earth from the
study of its rocks- stratified and unstratified. Rocks are treated as pages of earths history, each
having some information about the time during which it was formed. Hence the basic principle here
is "the present is the key to the past".
4) ECONOMIC GEOLOGY (ORE MINERALS AND ORE DEPOSITS): It deals with the study and
origin of useful ore minerals, minerals, rocks and other such materials (coal & petroleum) and their
exploitation for the economic growth of the country and for the benefit of the mankind.
5) ENGINEERING GEOLOGY: This field deals with the geotechnical study of the construction
sites and construction materials viz., selection of dam & bridge sites, and other engineering
2. projects such as assignments of railway lines, tunneling, underground water prospecting, mining
and prospecting of minerals, natural gas & petroleum etc.
6) PALEONTOLOGY: It deals with fossil remains of plants and animals once lived in the past
geological ages. This study helps to understand the evolution of animals and plants and to
construct the geological time scale.
7) GEOHYDROLOGY: It is the interaction of geology and hydrology and deals specifically with the
occurrence and geological setting of groundwater and it’s prospecting.
8) OCEANOGRAPHY: It includes the study of oceans, its climate, under ocean features and
coastal features such as beaches, estuaries, islands, bays etc., which include marine geology
branch.
9) MINING GEOLOGY: It is geology as applied to mining practice. i.e., exploitation of economic
mineral deposits, including mode of formation of economic minerals, their distribution, exploitation;
and the geological characters of these minerals.
10) ENVIRONMENTAL GEOLOGY: It deals with environmental awareness, geological hazards,
better management of the natural resources and waste disposal etc.
11) PHOTOGEOLOGY AND REMOTE SENSING: These deal with the interpretation of geological
features such as landforms, structural features, landuse patterns etc., with the help of the aerial
Photographs and landsat imagery for better and fast management of geological resources and
disaster management.
12) GEMOLOGY: It deals with the naturally occurring and artificially prepared minerals, their uses
in ornamental and decorative purposes.
INTER DISCIPLINARY BRANCHES:
1. GEOCHEMISTRY: It deals with distribution and abundance of different elements and their
components in the earth.
2. GEOPHYSICS: In this branch, important principles and processes of physics are applied to
study and solve the geological problems such as seismic, magnetic and electrical resistivity
methods to study the underground structure of a region or delineating underground water, gas and
petroleum etc.
3. GEOBOTONY: Study of plants, which grow in a area where specific minerals or ores occur.
These plants are useful guides to minerals and ores.
4. GEOSTATISTICS: Application of statistical methods to geological data and problems to
understand the geological processes better.
5. GEOINFORMATICS: Application of information and technology to all the geological fields and
disseminated to society for the understanding of the geological processes and hazards. It is the
science and the technology which develops and uses information science infrastructure to address
the problems of Geosciences, geography, cartography and related branches of science and
engineering.
6. GEOTOURISM: It deals with geological landforms and structures which are exotic, beautiful,
rare, scenic environments where people visit for recreation. It sustains or enhances the distinctive
geographical/geomorphological character of a place—its environment, heritage, aesthetics, culture
etc.
3. Apart from these, the recently developed branches alongwith remote sensing are:-
a) Geological Information System (GIS): It is a mapping tool with the aid of computer software
(Mapinfo, Arcview, Grams etc), which helps documenting and generation of various types
of maps and information instantly.
b) Global Positioning System (GPS): It is an instrument to get the geographical co-ordinates
(Latitudes & Longitudes, height from sea level etc.,) of the location on the field, based on
the signals received from satellites. It is a very useful instrument mainly used for accurate
mapping.
c) Disaster Management: This branch deals with study of various natural and manmade
disasters or hazards, their occurrence, preparation of database by using hazard zoning
maps, previous hazard occurrence data. Suggestions, warning and management strategies
for safety and rehabilitation of man and his property.
SCOPE OF GEOLOGY:
The geologist plays an important role in the successful development of mining industry and in turn
economy of the country. As a prospector and as an advisor, his advice is essential for the better
use of an ore body and other natural resources. He is useful not only in the field of mining and
metallurgical industry, but also in the field of engineering, scientific development etc., where in, the
geologist help in construction of dams, suggesting dam sites, bridge sites, railway line alignments,
tunnels, construction of buildings in earthquake prone areas, choice of rocks as building material,
oil and natural gas and water prospecting etc.
A geologist provides information for the mining company regarding the availability of ores, grade of
the ore, percentage of the ore and tonnage etc. Geologists are useful in the other fields such as,
land evaluation, oceanography, marine archeology, archeology, environmental evaluation, nuclear
study etc.
