Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
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.

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 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.
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.
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.
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:

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).

Purpose
The aim of this document is to describe an operational scenario that will serve as a
basis to identify and to develop the future operating methods and processes in
ISOBAR.
It describes a convective weather situation and how the “Local FMP & Network”
team could better manage weather situations: avoid the cascading effects across the
network, and together look for a “global optimum” gain.
The following use case focuses on how we could better use the network according to
expected weather situations. The chosen date to illustrate it, is the 26th of July 2019.

Towards a Playbook of ATFCM solutions
First step : start the continuous process by D-1
If D-1 high convective activity during peak hours on key blocks or very high convective
forecasted in a sensitive area
Ask for reroutings weather scenarios to deconflict high potential of chaotic situation ( locally +
domino effects)
Anytime, the Network has the final decision
« Weather Scenarios » , a network driven opportunity looking for an overall global gain:
To build them : identify flights having an acceptable network rerouting option (compared to
others who have none or very penalising ones) - to look for avoiding difficult and chaotic
situation and network dominos effects.
« Weather Playbook » (to develop) : a set of measures agreed between partners local FMP,
Network and AOs.
Use case proposed : first weather scenario, first playbook measure.

What is a gate, how does it work?
• A gate is a vertical surface,
defined by 2 geographical
points and a range of level
• The role of a gate is to
capture specific flows for
counts, plotting or regulation
purposes.
• It allows to visualize the flows
for a given time period
• Highlights overloaded sectors
along the flows
• Suggests opportunities for
rerouting

67. 71ISOBAR 1st Workshop – 1st October 2020
Scenario Description
Post operation.
Post ops is an important component of the process to feed and improve :
• data sets
• the metrics
• the procedures
• Confidence of the partners
• Cost/benefit analysis of the measures.
• Enrich the playbook.
• In that respect we need to determine and format those elements
beforehand to facilitates the automation of data collection and analysis.

69. 73ISOBAR 1st Workshop – 1st October 2020
Some weather
figures
• Weather conditions accounts for roughly one third of ATM delays.
How convective weather situations are management oat local FMP and network
levels makes the difference in terms of:
Avoiding cascading effects across the network -
Achieving global optimum gain: more efficiency in mitigation measures -
• Among the diverse weather
causes, convective weather is a
leading one, accounting for
almost half of weather-related
delays in summer.
• 10% of the weather delay in
2018 concentrated in only the
top ten days.

Weather scenario and associated playbook proposal by FMP and agreed with:
NMOC , other FMPs/ANSPs , AUs
AUs Planning Principles
74. 78ISOBAR 1st Workshop – 1st October 2020
Flight Planning is:
4DTBO: Trajectory Based Operation including:
RAD, PTR’s & LOAs
WX : only upper winds H+6,+12,+24 and +36
Shorthaul (H-12), flights up to 6 hrs
->completely automated->cheapest route is selected
Longhaul (H-8) reviewed by dispatcher:
WX hazards are monitored!
Pre-flight impact analysis and In-flight for potential
inflight reroutings
76. 80ISOBAR 1st Workshop – 1st October 2020
The main reason, the information are available, but reactive, too late!
Creating additional cost and delay! Lack of predictability, leading to a
conservative flight planning, additional fuel , we are not able to fly optimized
descent, cruising and speed!

to mitigate the weather impacts ?
80. 84ISOBAR 1st Workshop – 1st October 2020
27th August 2019 – Report LECB
- 19 Weather regulations
- Rate 0 at different time periods
in LEIB, LEPA, LEAL, LERS
- 8 traffic diverted
- Affected sectors in LECB,
regulated with reduced capacity:
- LVU, LVL, BAS, LVS, CCC,
GO1, GO2, GO3, DDI,
P2R
81. 85ISOBAR 1st Workshop – 1st October 2020
Reroutings potential solutions for en-
route affected flights
82. 86ISOBAR 1st Workshop – 1st October 2020
Improvements expected
- Increased accuracy
- Presentation of weather forecast in a visual format adapted to ATM
needs -> easier to check forecasts reliability, link with implemented
measures (actual occurrences and solutions)
- So it is possible to react earlier and perform early publication of
potential mitigation measures –> increased predictability.
- Web based “nowcasting”, especially for D-0 and postops analysis
- Analyse traffic + weather data
- Some RAD relaxation for affected flows.
- Increased meteorological phenomena (Haze prediction – canaries)
- Aerodrome specific data: LVP prediction, potential access route,
probable configurations (if predictable).
Editor's Notes
The Gates will be determined the following way: while the operator is drawing the line, the flows of traffic intersecting the line will be highlighted, so that he/she can decide the most appropriate gates length.
