Kryton has developed technologies over the past 45 years to improve concrete durability and waterproofing. Their flagship product, Krystol Internal Membrane (KIM), is a crystalline admixture that is added to concrete at batching to fill pores and cracks and waterproof from within. More recently, they introduced Hard-Cem to increase abrasion resistance up to 6 times, and other products for waterproofing membranes, repairs, joints, and more. Kryton provides a full suite of solutions to create smart, self-sealing concrete that lasts significantly longer than traditional concrete.
Although crystalline waterproofing has been used in Europe and North America for more than 50 years, it is still met with some scepticism. Today, this method of waterproofing concrete has been proven effective through successful use in virtually every country of the world.

Figure 1.1:Concrete Cloth
CC consists of a 3- dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated dry Concrete mix. A PVC backing on one surface of the cloth ensures the material is completely waterproof, while hydrophilic fibres (Polyethylene and Polypropylene yarns) on the opposite surface aid hydration by drawing water into the mixture. The material can be hydrated either by spraying or by being fully immersed in water. It can be easily nailed, stapled through or coated with an adhesive for easy attachment to other surfaces. Once set, the fibres reinforce the concrete, preventing crack propagation & providing a safe plastic failure mode. CC is available in 3-thicknesses; CC5, CC8 & CC13, which are 5, 8 & 13 mm thick respectively

Once in a lifetime, an industry shift happens that changes everything. First, it was the invention of the wheel, then the invention of the nail.
Next came concrete - the staple of modern construction. But without reinforcement, concrete lacked durability. Thus came the dawn of the industrial steel-making age. Concrete was reinforced with steel rebars. However, without proper waterproofing, water was able to pass through the concrete and cause corrosion to the steel. External surface applied membranes were invented that acted as a glove to protect concrete from the water. Yet, membranes are at risk of tears which can allow water to penetrate the concrete.
Now there is Crystalline Technology. When added to concrete, Crystalline Technology chemically reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles to form insoluble needle-shaped crystals that fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete and block the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.

The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.

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.

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).
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.
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.

19. KRYSTOL BARI-COTE™
Krystol Bari-Cote is a high-strength crystalline concrete waterproofing top coat used
to resurface and repair concrete or masonry. Krystol Bari-Cote is commonly used as a
waterproofing parge coat for spalled or honeycombed concrete, or as a waterproof plaster on
masonry walls, where a higher compressive strength surface is required.
How It Works
Krystol Bari-Cote contains Krystol technology. When applied to concrete, Krystol chemically
reacts with water and un-hydrated cement particles to form needle-shaped crystals. These
crystals fill capillary pores and micro-cracks in the concrete which block the pathways for water
and waterborne contaminants. Any moisture introduced over the lifespan of the concrete will
initiate crystallization, ensuring permanent waterproofing protection.
Product Benefits
• Superior bonding
• High compressive strength
• Permanent waterproofing repair
• Safe for contact with potable water
• Easy and reliable to use

21. CONCRETE REPAIR WITH
THE KRYSTOL LEAK REPAIR SYSTEM
At best, concrete cracks are just an unattractive nuisance. At worst, they cause leaks that can damage the interior of the
building, corrode steel reinforcements and ultimately shorten the life of the concrete structure.
Kryton’s Krystol Concrete Waterproofing System is the best way to repair leaking cracks and create durable,
waterproof structures.
“For a long time, the basement of these two buildings would flood with up to
a foot of water, especially at high tide. About 6 months ago, the elevator pits,
storage room, boiler room and compacting room were all waterproofed using the
Kryton Krystol waterproofing system, ...”
“For the first time, we have a substantially dry basement area, and the results
have been excellent. I would recommend these products.”
