Good research about Shiva and iconography. Your particular thesis - your personal analysis - should be the core of the essay rather than a historical overview, and the research content would revolve around your thesis statement. For example, your descriptions include descriptions of iconography showing his power, so that could be a direction for your thesis statement. Shiva is a Hindu deity, so it is unlikely that this would be "Shiva Buddha" (since Buddha is part of Buddhism). To avoid generalizations such as the third eye and red mark (page 2 middle) , it would be stronger to explain what that third eye meant.

MATH 220 - CT Scan Project
(in class)
Directions This project is due Thursday April 26 at the beginning of class. There are two
parts to this project - the first is an introduction to computed tomography scan, or CT scan, and
works through a sample project while explaining how CT scan images are produced. If there is
time, this will be worked through in class. The second part is an individual project, in which you
are given the output of a two-dimensional CT scan and you are to determine what the picture is.
For this project, we do not ask that you summarize the statement of each problem, nor do
we want you to turn in this paper. Please turn in one sheet of paper with the answers to each
question clearly written. Answer each question using complete sentences. Answers that
simply indicate a single number, a single equation, etc, will be given no credit. Although you may
work in groups or even as a class, your responses should be in your own words. Any indication
of plagiarism, such as duplicate sentences, will be treated as a violation of academic integrity,
resulting in a zero on this project and the dishonesty reported to the Office of Academic Integrity.
This project will be worth 3% of your course grade. Technology allowed. The data is given in a
file that assumes you are using MatLab.
CT Scan Project
The radiation x-ray was discovered by a German physicist, Wilhelm Roentgen, who did not
know what it was, so he simply called it “X-radiation”. A single x-ray passing through a body is
absorbed at rates depending upon the material it goes through. Thus if an x-ray is passed through
bone, a certain amount of intensity units is absorbed, while if it passes through soft material, a
different amount of intensity u ...

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.
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.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.

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).

dependent.
Let be a set of n-dimensional vectors, then
is a linear combination of the m vectors. Then assuming if is the zero or null
vector, any value of coupled with will satisfy the above equation.
Hence, the set of vectors is linearly dependent as more than one solution exists.
