This document outlines a procedure to determine the number of prokaryote cells in a sample by dilution plating. A broth culture of E. coli is serially diluted 10-fold in nutrient broth tubes to produce dilutions of 10-1, 10-2, 10-3, and 10-4. One ml from each dilution is spread on nutrient agar plates, which are incubated for 24 hours. The number of colonies formed on each plate is then counted and multiplied by the dilution factor to calculate the population of the original culture. Repeating this over time can establish a bacterial growth curve.

The ELISA uses an aflatoxin-specific antibody to competitively bind sample aflatoxins or HRP-conjugated aflatoxin. The intensity of the color reaction indicates the aflatoxin concentration in samples, which can be quantified by comparison to standard curves. Validation studies showed the assay can reliably detect aflatoxins from 1-20 p

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.

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.
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.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
Anti-Universe And Emergent Gravity and the Dark UniverseSérgio Sacani
Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ‘dark’ gravitational force describing the ‘elastic’ response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newton’s constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ‘dark gravity force’ explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
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:

karyotyping Practical Procedure
1. Karyotyping
1. Split cells that need to be karyotyped onto matrigel at 1/6 or 1/12 dilutions
off from MEFs.
2. Cells should be in a stage of active division (not confluent) when initiating
the karyotyping procedure.
3. Wear gloves. Add 23 ul of Vinblastine Sulfate (Vb) working solution
(25ul/25ml ddH2O) to each well of a 6-well plate (23ul/3ml or 15ul/2ml Vb).
Working conc of VB is 2 ug / ml.
4. Incubate cells 2 – 3 hours in 37o
C incubator.
5. Meanwhile, put one bottle of sterile ddH20 and one 50ml tube filled with
70% Ethanol in fridge (4C). Also, put one box of slides at –20C.
6. 45 minutes prior to hood work, put hypotonic solution, 1x PBS, and wash
media (DMEM + 5% FBS) in 37C water bath. 20 minutes prior to hood
work, put trypsin in 37o
C water bath.
7. After 2-3 hour incubation, prepare 3 15ml tubes with 8ml of wash media in
each. Label as 15, 30, and 40.
8. Get cells from incubator and aspire media from wells, add 1ml 1x
PBS/well, swirl and aspire. Repeat.
9. Add 1ml/well of warm trypsin and incubate for 1-2 min in 37C incubator.
10.Pipette cells up/down with P1000 and transfer 1/3 (2 wells) of cells to each
15ml tube.
11.Spin tubes 5 minutes @ 800rpm.
12.Remove sup by either aspiring it or pouring it out and resuspend pellet by
flicking tube.
13.SLOWLY (i.e. drop by drop) add 2.3ml hypotonic solution per tube. Put
tubes in 37C water bath for 15, 30, and 40 minutes.
14.When incubation period is over, take tube and spin 5 minutes @ 800rpm.
15.Meanwhile, make 50ml of Carnoyʼs fixative. It must be made FRESH
1:3 Glacial acetic acid: Methanol, 12.5ml Glacial acetic acid ,37.5ml Methanol
2. 14. Remove most of sup, and resuspend pellet in remaining media.
15.Using a dropper, slowly add 10 drops of Carnoyʼs fixative, flicking tube in
between drops to prevent clumping. Bring volume to 2ml with fixative.
16.Spin 5 minutes.
17. Remove supernatant and slowly add 4ml of fixative, flick tube, spin and
discard sup. Repeat, but donʼt remove all of sup. the second time around.
Leave about 1ml of sup. and flick.
18.When you are ready to drop the cells, fill plastic box with ice and pour
enough of the chilled ddH20 and Ethanol into two separate beakers to dip
and cover the cold slides. Leave the beakers on ice. (Use slide holder for
ethanol and large square beaker for ddH20).
19.Dip slides in chilled 70% ethanol and then rinse well with in the chilled
ddH2O. Leave slides in the chilled water until you are ready to use them –
slides must remain COLD in order for karyotype to work!!!. Using a glass
pipette, aspire some of the cells and drop them onto the clean, wet and
chilled slides either at arms length away or at varying heights from the
floor. Dry slides on hot plate at LOW setting.
20.Stain with filtered Giemsa for 4 minutes.
21.Wash with 1x PBS for 5 minutes.
22.Wash with ddH2O.
23.Count at least 15 cells. Significant problem if more than 4 cells have more
or less than 40 chromosomes (mouse) [or 46 for human].
