Instruments for measuring temperature and Relative humidityManish pal
This document summarizes instruments for measuring temperature and humidity. It describes how temperature is measured using thermometers calibrated to the Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin scales. Relative humidity is defined as the percentage of water vapor present compared to the maximum possible at a given temperature. Common instruments are described, including the instantaneous thermometer for single temperature readings, totalizer thermometer for minimum and maximum over time, and psychrometer using dry and wet bulb thermometers to calculate relative humidity by comparing the temperature drop from evaporation. The psychrometer consists of the two thermometers, a reservoir, and stocking to wet the wet bulb.
Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses the degree of hotness or coldness of a substance. It is measured using a thermometer and represents the average kinetic energy of particles in a system. The three main scales used are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin, with Celsius being used for most common temperature measurements like weather reports. The freezing and boiling points of water are used as standard reference temperatures to calibrate thermometers across the different scales.
There are three main temperature scales: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. The Kelvin scale is the base unit in the International System of Units and defines absolute zero as 0 K. The Celsius scale uses 0°C for the freezing point of water and 100°C for the boiling point. The Fahrenheit scale uses 32°F and 212°F as these points. Common methods of temperature measurement include bimetallic strip thermometers, which use the differing expansion rates of two bonded metals, and liquid-in-glass thermometers, where the expansion of liquid in a glass tube indicates the temperature.

It explains that the Fahrenheit scale was invented first and sets water's freezing point at 32 degrees and boiling point at 212 degrees. Later, Celsius was invented and set water's freezing point at 0 degrees and boiling point at 100 degrees. Thermometers work by measuring how the volume of a liquid changes with temperature in a bulb and narrow tube.
Ella completed a temperature project comparing Wellington, New Zealand and Helsinki, Finland. She recorded the daily temperatures over five days for each city and calculated the mean temperature by adding up the values and dividing by five. The mean temperature was 59 degrees for Wellington and 26 degrees for Helsinki. Ella listed what clothing items she would pack for each city based on the differences in climate.
The document describes the degree-day model, which uses temperature thresholds to estimate insect development rates. It accumulates "degree days" based on daily temperatures between lower and upper thresholds. Each life stage requires a certain number of degree days. By tracking accumulation from a biofix date, the model can predict when a life stage will be reached. It discusses different calculation methods that estimate degree days from minimum and maximum temperatures to approximate real temperatures. The model is useful for predicting sampling times but does not replace scouting.
Weather instruments are used to collect climatic data and prepare maps and charts. Common elements measured include temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, and wind speed. Temperature is measured using a thermometer, maximum/minimum thermometer, and Stevenson screen. Humidity is measured with a wet and dry bulb thermometer or hygrometer. Atmospheric pressure is measured with a simple barometer in units of millibars. Rainfall is measured using a rain gauge in centimeters or millimeters. Wind speed is measured with an anemometer in knots, and wind direction is determined using a wind vane.

Three key measurements are length, mass, and time. Measurements are made using standardized units, with scientists worldwide using the International System of Units (SI units). The standard SI units are the meter for length, kilogram for mass, and second for time. Various instruments are used to accurately measure these quantities, including rulers, balances, and stopwatches. Temperature is also an important measurement, with the most common scale being Celsius and key reference points of 0°C and 100°C. Liquids like mercury and alcohol are commonly used in thermometers due to their freezing and boiling points.
10.2 - First law of Thermodynamics and PV graphssimonandisa
Pressure and temperature are directly proportional to one another as long as temperature is measured in Kelvins, according to Boyle's law. The first law of thermodynamics states that the heat added to a gas must equal the work done by the gas plus any change in internal energy. There are four main thermodynamic processes: (1) isobaric, where pressure is constant and temperature increases as volume expands; (2) isochoric, where volume is constant and temperature increases with rising pressure; (3) isothermal, where temperature is constant and heat enables gas to do work through expansion; and (4) adiabatic, where no heat is exchanged and work is done on the gas, increasing its

The flowering plant life cycle begins with a seed that germinates when it receives water and heat, sprouting into a seedling. The seedling grows into an adult plant with roots, stem, leaves, and flowers. Pollen moves between flowers via bees, water, wind, and other animals, fertilizing the flowers and causing them to develop into fruits containing new seeds, completing the cycle to begin anew.
The butterfly goes through distinct life cycle stages of egg, caterpillar, pupa, and adult butterfly. The egg hatches into a caterpillar that eats leaves to grow large, then forms a hard shell called a pupa where it transforms into an adult butterfly, which emerges from the pupa fully formed to complete the cycle.
White-tailed deer have a life cycle where fawns are born and drink milk from their mothers to grow. The fawns then become yearlings after one year, still resembling the mother. Finally, the yearlings mature into adult deer after further growth.
The earth changes slowly through natural processes like moving water, wind, and ice. Moving water and wind can break down and carry away rocks and soil. Ice forms in cracks in rocks when water freezes, and the expansion of freezing water pushes rocks further apart, breaking them down over time.
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.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

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.

Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
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.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
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.
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.
