Grease is a thickened lubricant that remains in contact with moving surfaces. It is formulated from a base oil thickened with a soap, clay, or polymer. Grease properties depend on the base oil viscosity and consistency grade determined by penetration testing. Additives provide oxidation resistance, extreme pressure properties, anti-wear performance, and other characteristics. Standard tests evaluate grease properties like dropping point, oil separation, load carrying capacity, and resistance to water and corrosion. Proper grease selection depends on application parameters like temperature, speed, and load.

One of the most important things an operator can do for his machinery is to make sure it is properly lubricated. So what is a lubricant and how does it affect operations when used properly? In this webinar we will answer these questions and more by covering the fundamentals of lubrication. During this webinar we will discuss how a lubricant works to remove friction, the physical and chemical properties of the lubricant, and the many functions of a lubricant.
Lubrication is one of the main preventative maintenance activities.
Lubricants have a wide range of properties that impact their physical and chemical properties Knowing about these properties is important in determining which lubricant is best for which situation.
Oil analysis identifies early signs of contamination, fluid degradation and abnormal wear before they cause costly and permanent damage to equipment.
Properly characterizing a lubricant deposit can provide insight into the cause of a problem and allow plants to make corrective actions, resulting in tremendous savings. This webinar will present a multitude of real-world case studies where this practice of deposit characterization has been used in the field. Attendees will learn how a unique deposit that is not detectable through normal varnish testing caused a million-dollar shutdown at a nuclear facility, about the creation of tar balls in a sensitive gas turbine, how black goo was generated in a critical gas compressor, among others.

Lubricants
From the very beginning the machine age has depended on lubrication to keep the gears, shafts and wheels of progress turning. Over the years in agriculture, industry, construction, transportation on the roads and off lubricants have played a critical role in getting the job done and today ever more sophisticated vehicles and machines, demand ever more sophisticated lubrication products.
Before the coming of the today different varieties of lubricants the whale oil was historically famous and was used up to the latter part of the 20th century as a friction modifier additive for automatic transmission fluid.
In today’s industrial sectors, Engines, transmissions ,axles, hydraulic systems, gear assemblies and metal working operations need specially formulated lubricants to protect critical components, provide reliable operation, lower maintenance costs, decrease downtime and increase equipment life.
If we want to understand the principles of Lubrication, it becomes extremely important to learn about Viscosity because Viscosity is perhaps the single-most important factor and characteristic of oil which directly impacts the performance of the engine. Let’s go back to the definition to get a clear understanding!

Grease is a lubricant in a semi-solid state. It is generally applied to those machinery parts where liquid lubricants would not stay and need to be applied only occasionally.
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.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
