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.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
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.

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.

6. 1. Utility Scale Solar Energy
Technologies• Photovoltaic Systems (PV):
• Operate based on the photovoltaic effect (creation
of voltage in a semiconductor material when
exposed to electromagnetic radiation)
• Utilize the Global component of the solar
radiation.
• Intermittent Operation (i.e. generate only during
sunlight). Storage can be integrated with the use
of batteries (currently at high cost).
• Concentrated Solar Thermal Systems (CSP):
• Utilize concentrated solar radiation to generate
heat at high temperatures to run a thermal power
cycle.
• Utilize the Direct component of the solar
radiation.
• Can integrate thermal energy storage systems
(significantly lower cost than PV+bat)
7. 2. Physical Variables Under
Consideration• Key variables for PV:
• Annual total solar resource (daily or seasonal
variation are not important).
• Temperature (higher temperatures reduce
output).
• Low level dependency on wind speed,
atmospheric attenuation (compared to CSP).
• Concentrated Solar Thermal Systems (CSP):
• Annual total solar resource and short-term
patterns as cloud transients have larger effect
compared to PV.
• Wind, due to mirror stability and convective heat
losses.
• Atmospheric attenuation losses due to
transmission of solar flux over long distances.
8. 3. The need for accurate datasets
The Shams 1 CSP experience
•Satellite data were used to assess solar radiation but
the method didn’t pick up dust particles. The real DNI
was significantly lower than the estimations.
•Dust reduces insolation by about 30% so the
resulting DNI in the site (Abu-Dhabi) was lower than
Spain.
•Further, wind potential was significantly
underestimated
RISK 3: Inaccurate estimation of dust leading to a
requirement for a larger solar field installation.
RISK 4: Higher winds requiring the erection of a
large wind breaker wall around the power plant.
The Ivanpah Experience
•The 3 units of Ivanpah generated less electricity than
expected during the first year.
•Part of the cause was the cloud cover at Ivanpah in
2015 which has been more than expected resulting in a
reduction in solar radiation by nearly 10%.
RISK 1: Relying on only few years of measurements
may not accurately predict long term lows or highs in
meteorological conditions.
RISK 2: Multi year solar radiation “droughts” may not
be forecasted and may result in lower profitability for
years.
Accurate datasets on the general climatic conditions are
essential for the safe operation of solar power plants.
9. 4. The effect of climate change direction
Projects in North Africa & MENA Projects in North America
Projects in South America Projects in South Africa
Most of Solar Energy Projects (especially CSP) are deployed in deserts close to populated centres and the
sites could be considered as boundaries between different climates. So, an extended and rapid climate
change (boundary move) could turn the microclimate of the site from desert to temperate and vice versa in a
term of decade, having significant effect on the DNI values.
The prediction for Climate Change Direction is vital for the development of solar energy projects
Projects in Asia
10. 5. Our dream for Big Data (from a
solar energy perspective)
•Meteorological stations are usually located in population centres.
•Very few meteorological stations populate the desert areas of the Earth (Sahara, Kalahari, Saudi Arabia, Tibet).
Further, very few of the meteorological stations record detailed solar data (global, diffuse, direct)
•Action ->> Copernicus to support the increase of the density of specialised meteorological stations at the
desert areas and especially on the boundaries of the deserts in order to accurately record climate shifts.
A. Increase accuracy of satellite based estimation with ground
measurements at locations where no or sparse ground data exists.
Locations of meteorological Stations
11. 5. Our dream for Big Data (from a solar
energy perspective)
•Accurate cloud tracking is important to CSP as it may or may not lead to a cloud transient event, which
impacts production and may lead to solar field defocusing action, reduced output or even power station shut-
down.
•CSP operators are relying on all-sky cameras to trace clouds.
B. Provide real-time cloud tracking on specific locations
Current State of the Art: In order to increase
accuracy of cloud transient prediction, a CSP
operator has to install a lattice of all-sky cameras
at a distance around the CSP plant.
By merging the
pictures of all the
cameras it is
possible to make a
model of the cloud
formation and
their trajectory.
Action ->> Copernicus could provide
real-time detailed images of the
vicinity of the power plant allowing
the power plant operator to track with
exquisite detail cloud movements and
exact time of future cloud transient
events with 1hour notice.
Good resolution images are required,
circa 10m-25m per pixel
