Biopotentials are ionic voltages produced by electrochemical activity in cells. Certain cells like nerve and muscle cells are encased in a semi-permeable membrane that allows some substances to pass through while keeping others out. These membranes maintain a resting potential of -60 to -100 mV by allowing potassium and chloride ions into the cell while blocking sodium ions. When the membrane allows sodium ions to pass through, the cell's potential becomes slightly positive in what is called an action potential, changing the cell from its resting state. Transducers are used to convert these ionic potentials into electrical signals that can be measured and analyzed.
This document discusses electricity and its properties. It explains that electricity is caused by electrons moving between atoms. There are positive protons and neutral neutrons in the nucleus, while negatively charged electrons orbit around it. Electricity can be static, occurring when an imbalance of charges builds up, or current, flowing from one place to another. Current is measured by the amount of charge transferred over time as electrons flow through a conductor. The document also provides instructions for creating simple circuits using batteries, wires, and light bulbs to demonstrate how electricity flows through a closed loop path.

This document discusses biopotentials and electrophysiology. It explains that biopotentials are ionic voltages produced by electrochemical activity in cells of the human body. These biopotentials can be measured as electrical signals using transducers. It describes the resting potential and action potentials of excitable cells like neurons and muscles. The resting potential is caused by a difference in ion concentrations inside and outside the cell membrane. When a cell is excited, it undergoes depolarization and repolarization as ions flow across the membrane, changing the electrical potential. Key ions involved include sodium, potassium and chloride.
This document defines key terms related to electricity and electronics, including electron, current, circuit, charge, volt, resistance, ohm, watt, and electricity. An electron carries electric current. For current to flow, it must pass through a conducting material in a closed circuit. Current is measured in amperes, resistance in ohms, and power in watts. Electricity is a form of energy involving the movement and interactions of electrons.
Secondary electron yield depends on both the target material and the energy of incident primary electrons. Secondary electron yield is defined as the number of secondary electrons emitted from the target per incident primary electron. It can be less than or greater than one. The energy distribution of secondary electrons is typically sharp, around 30eV, due to their emission near the material surface. Methods for measuring secondary electron yield include the Everhart-Thornley detector and a technique that takes measurements at both positive and negative potentials to eliminate the contribution from backscattered electrons.

Electromagnetism occurs when a coil of wire wrapped around a metal object is connected to a battery, causing an electric current through the coil that generates a magnetic field within the metal, turning it into a magnet. A solenoid connected to a battery via a conducting wire forms an electromagnet, as the current through the wire creates a magnetic field that magnetizes the solenoid. An electromagnet functions similarly to a simple electric circuit, with a power source, conducting wires, and a "load" where the magnetic effect is produced by the current flowing through the coiled wire around the metal object.

Thermal sources use the Seebeck effect where applying heat to connected dissimilar metals produces voltage. Effects of electric current include heating, chemical changes through electrolysis, and generating magnetic fields around conductors.

This paper investigates the effect of the combined signals from the nearby cellular towers that have toward population health in Thailand. We investigate the frequencies in the operating ranges of GSM 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900/ and 2100 MHz. Both power and frequency of electromagnetic wave have influence to living cell. In theory, these combined signals strength can fluctuate the energy level of certain minerals that are key components of human internal organs.

Hence, this study is crucial to human and all livings.

Bioelectrodes function as an interface between biological structures and electronic systems. They convert ionic potentials in the body to electronic potentials that can be measured. At rest, neurons maintain a potential of -70 mV due to ion concentration differences. An action potential occurs when the membrane reaches -55 mV, causing sodium and potassium ion channels to open and reverse the polarization. Action potentials propagate along axons to transmit signals. Synaptic transmission involves neurotransmitters being released at the synapse in response to an action potential. Bioelectrodes must have low impedance, be non-polarizing, and avoid motion artifacts when measuring biological signals like ECG, EEG, EMG.

Neural control of muscles involves the transmission of nerve action potentials from the brain to muscles. Electrical stimulation of nerves and muscles works by altering the polarization of cell membranes.

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).
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.
ESPP presentation to EU Waste Water Network, 4th June 2024 “EU policies driving nutrient removal and recycling
and the revised UWWTD (Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive)”
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
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.

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.
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.
How does the body make electricity and hoe does it use it?
1. HOW DOES THE BODY MAKE ELECTRICITY
AND HOW DOES IT USE IT?

2. INTRODUCTION
• Everything we do is controlled and enabled by electrical signals
running through our bodies.
• Without electricity we won’t be able to read this slides
• Basically atoms are made up of protons (positively charge),
neutrons (neutral) and electrons (negatively charge).
• When atoms are out of balance, it becomes either positively or
negatively charge depending on the flow of electron(s).
• The flow of electrons is what is referred to as electricity.
3. How does the body makes electricity
• Unlike wires, which involve electron flow along the wire, our bodies
instead involve electrical charge jump from one cell to another until
it reaches its destination.
• Electric signals are fast, they allow instantaneous response to stimuli.
• If our bodies only relied entirely on stimuli or messages via chemicals
we probably would have died long time ago. Because we wouldn’t
have rapid response to environmental messages like reflex action,
seeing this slides and comprehending what I am saying right now.
• Electrical impulse flows via a complex network of nerve
communication referred to as Nervous System.
7. Mammalian Ion Concentration and
Equilibrium Potential
Ions Inside (mM) Outside (mM) Equilibrium
Potential (mV)
Na 18 145 +56
K 140 3 -102
Cl 7 120 -76
Ca 0.1 1.2 +125
8. NERNST EQUATION
• The equilibrium potential of ions that flows in and out of the
neuron(s) can be calculated using Nernst Equation
Eion= RT/zF In {[ion]o/ [ion]i}
Eion= ion Equilibrium Potential
T= Temperature (in Kelvin)
R= Gas constant (8.315 J/K mol-1)
F= Faraday (96,485 Coulomb)
Z= Valence of ion
{[ion]o/ [ion]i}= concentration of ions
9. How does the body use electricity
• Electricity is the key to survival, It allows instantaneous response to
control messages.
• Some organs that are actively involved in electrical signals are
• Brain
• Eyes
• Muscle
• Heart
10. HEART RHYTHM
•The crucial part of the heart that signals speed
up or slow down in heartbeat is referred to as
Sinoatrial node (SA node).
•It controls the rhythm of our heartbeat and it uses
electrical signals to set the pace.
12. Effect of electric shock on Heart function
• Since everything relies on electrical signals, any breakdown in the
body’s electrical system will be a catastrophic problem.
• When we get electric shock, it interrupt the normal electric flow in
our body which might implicate in fried electrical system.
• There is dramatic problem when subjected to electrical shock for a
long period of time.
• The may lead to stop of heartbeat as result of interference of the
nerves connecting the SA node to the brain.
• This might cause sudden death.
13. Conclusion
• Without electricity flow in our body we will not be
able to survive, as it is the best way we communicate
with our environment and response to both internal
and external stimuli.
