This article presents how planet Earth was born, how it operates and how it is protected from threats coming from outer space. In addition to showing how the Earth operates as a dynamic system, it shows how our planet will disappear completely when the Sun migrates out of Earth's orbit in about 1 billion years.
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.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
2. Earth
The planet on which we live is called EARTH.
It travel around the Sun, along with other
planets in our Solar System
The planet Earth is located in one of the spiral
arms ( the Orion arms ) of the Milky way, a
large spiral galaxy.
The Earth is a rocky, terrestrial planet, that
has a surface covered with mountains,
valleys, carryon's and so much more. What is
special about our planet is that water is
covering 71% of it surface
3. The structure of the earth is
divided into four major
Components: the crust, the
mantle, the outer core, and
the inner core. Each layer has
a unique chemical
composition, physical state,
and can impact life on Earth's
surface.
4. The crust is the
thinnest layer of the
Earth. It has an
average thickness of
about 18 miles (30km)
below land, and
around 6 miles (10km)
below the oceans.
The crust is the layer
that makes up the
Earth's surface
5. The mantle is the mostly
solid bulk of Earth's interior.
The mantle lies between
Earth's dense, superheated
core and its thin outer layer,
the crust. The mantle is
about 2,900 kilometers
(1,802 miles) thick, and
makes up a whopping 84
percent of Earth's total
volume.
There are two major
component of mantle upper
mantle, inner mantle
6. Upper mantle:
The upper mantle extends
from the crust to a depth of about 410
kilometers (255 miles). The upper mantle is
mostly solid, but its more malleable regions
contribute to tectonic activity. Two parts of
the upper mantle are often recognized as
distinct regions in Earth's interior: the
lithosphere and the asthenosphere.
7. Inner mantle:
The mantle is the mostly solid bulk
of Earth's interior. The mantle lies
between Earth's dense, super-heated
core and its thin outer layer, the crust.
The mantle is about
, and makes up a
whopping of Earth's total
volume.
8. The mantle is the mostly
solid bulk of Earth's
interior. The mantle lies
between Earth's dense,
superheated core and its
thin outer layer, the
crust. The mantle is
about 2,900 kilometers
(1,802 miles) thick, and
makes up a whopping 84
percent of Earth's total
volume.
9. The innermost part of
Earth is the core and
is about 1500 miles
(2414 km) thick. Both
the inner and outer
cores consist primarily
of iron and nickel.
They're extremely hot,
with temperatures
ranging from 7200–
9000℉
