World Cafe, Slow Food Terra Madre 2015
World Cafe presentation for Slow Food USA at the Terra Madre in Torino, Italy 2015. The World Cafe was designed to tease out some of the links between ethnobotany and ethnoecology research and the Slow Food eco-gastronomy movement.
Photosynthesis time!
This document summarizes key aspects of photosynthesis. It discusses that there are two types of organisms - autotrophs that get energy from sunlight and heterotrophs that get energy from food. It also describes ATP as a high-energy molecule used to store and transport energy in cells. The main ingredients for photosynthesis are outlined as water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and chlorophyll, which is the green pigment found in chloroplasts. The overall equation for photosynthesis is provided. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy, which breaks apart water molecules to release oxygen and provides energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
2 19 Photosythesis & Leaves
The document discusses photosynthesis in plants, specifically hyacinth plants. It describes the two types of photosynthesis that exist, C3 and C4, and explains that C4 photosynthesis is more efficient in warmer climates. It also outlines the key functions of leaves, including photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. Leaf anatomy, shapes, margins, and arrangements are discussed as important identifiers for different plant species.
Protien synthesis
The document summarizes protein synthesis through the central dogma of genetics. It discusses how DNA is transcribed into mRNA which is then translated into proteins using tRNA and ribosomes. The main stages of translation - initiation, elongation, and termination - are also outlined. Finally, the genetic code table is shown, which demonstrates how mRNA codons correspond to specific amino acids.
Ethnobotany and Analog Forestry
The document discusses analog forestry, an approach to landscape restoration that aims to recreate native forest structure and function while emphasizing economically productive species. It provides examples of projects in the Dominican Republic and Brazil that have used analog forestry techniques to restore degraded land for sustainable production. The document also discusses the role of non-timber forest products in supporting livelihoods worldwide and efforts to develop certification programs to help communities market forest-grown products at a premium.
chmsc lab school science 5 project photosythesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. It occurs in chloroplasts in plant leaves and stems. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and other pigments that absorb sunlight and drive a two-stage process to produce glucose and oxygen. This process provides the basic energy for all organisms and produces oxygen, which most organisms depend on.

Ethnobotany
The document describes the University of Michigan's database for Native American ethnobotany, which contains information on plants used by indigenous peoples of North America. The database includes sections on plant profiles, characteristics, classification, data sources and references, and culturally significant plants. It provides a searchable online resource for researching ethnobotanical knowledge and uses of plants among Native American tribes.
Analytical techniques ppt
The document describes various analytical techniques used in biochemistry to separate, identify, and quantify biomolecules. It discusses chromatography techniques including paper chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography. It also covers electrophoresis methods like paper electrophoresis, gel electrophoresis, and isoelectric focusing. Other techniques mentioned are spectrophotometry, centrifugation, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The document provides details on the principles and procedures of these analytical methods.
Ethnobotany
Ethnobotany as an interdisciplinary science is, therefore, in a position to contribute to development of the wealth of traditional knowledge of the indigenous people concerning their natural systems and environment, their knowledge on utilization and maintenance of plant resources on a long-term basis without damaging or destroying their habitats.
Ethnobotanical data can be utilized by economic botanists to discover new plant resources, to provide fresh ideas for environment planners, as a tool for basic selection of plant species for development of drugs by pharmacologists, phytochemists and clinicians, as a new source of history through the study of plant names by linguists, as a source for locating new germ plasm for agriculturists, etc. Some works on ethnobotany performed only in last decades of 20th century.
Photosythesis
Plants use photosynthesis to turn light, water and carbon dioxide into glucose to feed themselves, with oxygen produced as a byproduct. The document provides links to learn more about how photosynthesis happens in plant leaves and the role it plays in the exchange of gases between plants and animals.
Ethnobotany - Plant Taxonomy Chichirica (Catharanthus roseus)
Catharanthus roseus, also known as rosy periwinkle, is a fleshy perennial plant native to Madagascar. It has oblong leaves and pink, white or red flowers. In traditional medicine, extracts from its leaves and roots have been used to treat diabetes, cancer, hypertension, intestinal parasites, and menstrual disorders. The plant contains several phytochemicals including alkaloids, monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, and terpenoid indole alkaloids that have been shown to have anti-diabetic, anti-hypertensive, anti-cancer, and wound healing properties. Though endangered in the wild due to habitat loss, C. roseus is widely cultivated
IGCSE Photosythesis
Plants undergo photosynthesis, a process where sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. Chlorophyll in the leaf absorbs sunlight, which is then used along with carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce glucose and oxygen through a chemical reaction. The glucose is used for plant growth and any excess is stored as starch. Minerals absorbed from the soil like nitrogen, potassium, and magnesium are also required to support plant growth and production of chlorophyll. Leaves are adapted for efficient photosynthesis through features like a large surface area, thinness to allow for gas exchange, and specialized cells containing chloroplasts where the reaction occurs.
Introduction to Ethnobotany
this presentation covers briefly the introduction to ethnobotany and uses of some common wild plants
Presentation 18 - Plant Hormones
Plant hormones are chemical messengers that are transported within plants and trigger substantial changes even at minute concentrations. They coordinate growth, development, and responses to stimuli. For example, tropisms like phototropism occur when plant organs curve towards or away from a stimulus like light due to the differential growth of cells on opposite sides caused by the distribution of the plant hormone auxin, as shown through experiments by Darwin and Went.

This document provides an overview of cell and tissue structure and function topics covered in Cambridge IGCSE Biology. It discusses:
1) The structures of plant and animal cells as seen under light and electron microscopes and the functions of cell organelles.
2) DNA structure as a double helix formed from paired nucleotide bases.
3) The four stages of mitosis and its role in cell division.
4) Five types of tissues - bone, muscle, blood, nervous and epithelial - and their organization into organs and organ systems.
5) Carbohydrate structure including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides formed through condensation and hydrolysis reactions.
6) Lipid structure as trig
Vitamin K- Chemistry functions and Clinical significance
Vitamin K represents a group of compounds that are essential for blood clotting and bone health. Three compounds have vitamin K activity: phylloquinone (K1) from plants, menaquinones (K2) from bacteria, and synthetic menadione and menadiol. Vitamin K is absorbed in the intestine and transported to the liver where it activates blood clotting factors and bone proteins through gamma-carboxylation. Deficiency can cause bleeding and is treated with vitamin K supplements.
Classification of chromatography
Chromatography is a method of separating mixtures into individual components using a stationary and mobile phase. There are several types depending on the physical state of the phases and interaction between the phases and components. Liquid chromatography uses a liquid mobile phase passing through a solid or liquid stationary phase to separate components. Gas chromatography uses a gas mobile phase to separate volatile components. Size exclusion and ion exchange chromatography separate based on molecular size or charge.
Biofertilizer
Biofertilizers contain living microorganisms that colonize plant roots and soil to promote plant growth. They do this through natural processes like nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, and stimulating plant growth with substances. There are several types of biofertilizers including bacterial (Rhizobium, Azotobacter), fungal (VAM), and algal biofertilizers. They help increase soil fertility and nutrient supply to plants, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. Mass production of biofertilizers involves growing the microorganisms in large quantities and mixing them with a carrier for storage and application to soil and plants.
PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS
Plant growth regulators (also called plant hormones) are numerous chemical substances that profoundly influence the growth and differentiation of plant cells, tissues and organs.
Fatty acid oxidation
1) Fatty acids are oxidized through beta-oxidation in the mitochondria to generate acetyl-CoA units and energy in the form of ATP.
2) Beta-oxidation involves four steps - dehydrogenation, hydration, dehydrogenation, and thiolysis - that occur in a recurring cycle to shorten the fatty acid by two carbons each time.
3) Fatty acid oxidation provides the major source of energy during periods of fasting or low carbohydrate availability and yields substantial ATP through the electron transport chain.

L2 2015 location of bio and hotspots
Biodiversity hotspots are areas with high levels of endemic species that are under threat. They cover only 1.4% of the Earth's land but contain over 40% of plant species and 35% of animal species. Most hotspots are located in the tropics where optimal conditions exist for growth and diversity. While hotspots have helped protect threatened biodiversity, they leave many ecosystems uncovered and do not address threats facing areas outside their criteria.

L6 ap 2014 dangers of mountain env
Mountain environments pose several dangers including cold temperatures, steep terrain, avalanches, and severe weather. Despite these risks, many people are drawn to mountains for recreation like skiing and tourism which provides economic benefits but also puts more lives at risk. When visiting mountains, it is important to be aware of potential hazards from the environment and weather and take proper precautions for protection and survival.
L4 avalanches ap
An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a steep mountain slope. Avalanches are typically triggered by heavy snowfall, strong winds, or human activity such as skiing or climbing. When triggered, an avalanche can move at speeds up to 200 km/h, destroying everything in its path. Avalanches pose serious dangers to those caught in their path who may be killed or injured by the force of the moving snow.
L1. introduction to mountain environments ap
This document provides information about mountain environments and includes several learning activities. It begins with an introduction to the key characteristics of mountain environments and includes a virtual field trip. Students are then assigned a mini research project on a particular mountain. The rest of the document outlines several challenge activities for students to complete, including identifying mountain ranges on a map, learning fun facts about mountains, watching a video to describe feelings, and reading an extract about being stranded on a mountain. The overall purpose is to broaden students' knowledge of mountain environments through various learning exercises.
Glacier and corrie formation ap
Glaciers form through the accumulation of snow in mountainous areas. When snow falls during winter and does not melt during cold spring and summer months, it compacts into dense ice over many years under its own weight. Additional layers of snow become compressed into ice, which causes the air to be squeezed out, turning the glacier a blue color. The large mass of ice then flows down the mountain under its own weight, eroding the landscape through two main processes - plucking and abrasion. Plucking involves rocks becoming frozen to the base of the glacier and breaking away as it moves. Abrasion occurs as rocks and debris carried on the glacier's bottom scrape along the valley floor, slowly excavating and shaping the land over
Mountain building
Fold mountains are formed over millions of years when two tectonic plates collide and push material upwards, creating mountain ranges. The largest fold mountains include the Himalayas, Alps, Andes, Rockies, and Urals. Fold mountains are formed through the upward and downward folding of crustal material. Once formed, mountains undergo weathering and erosion that slowly shape the landscape over time.
L2 growth of brighton ap
Brighton has a long history as a popular seaside resort town on the southern coast of England. It was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book in 1086 and saw growth as a fishing and port town in the 16th-17th centuries. In the 18th century, doctors began promoting the health benefits of sea bathing, attracting more visitors. Major growth occurred in the 19th century with the construction of the Brighton Pavilions by the Prince of Wales in 1787 and the arrival of the London to Brighton Railway in 1841, opening the town to day trippers. The development of tourism infrastructure like the two piers further increased visitor numbers. Today, tourism remains a vital part of Brighton's economy.
L4 multiculturism in brighton
Globalization has caused increased migration and a multicultural Britain. It refers to how people and companies are becoming more connected globally through improved transportation like airplanes and container ships. This has made it easier for people to move between countries for work or a better life. As a result, Britain has seen large numbers of migrants come from countries like India, Pakistan, Poland and Ireland, changing the cultural makeup of the country. This has resulted in both positive and negative effects of an increasingly multicultural society in Britain.
L3 rebranding 2014
This document discusses rebranding of places and provides examples. It defines rebranding as redeveloping and marketing a place to give it a new identity to attract new investors and visitors. Examples discussed include Miley Cyrus rebranding herself, and the recent rebranding of Kingston Market. Students are asked to consider why places like towns or seaside resorts may want to rebrand. The document also discusses the proposed rebranding of the West Pier area in Brighton and having students design a questionnaire to collect public opinions on the rebranding.
Food lesson 2 ap
- There are two main types of farming: arable farming, which involves growing crops, and pastoral farming, which involves rearing animals. Some farms practice mixed farming with both crops and livestock.
- Arable farming is more common in southeast England where the land is flat, fertile, and has a warm climate and good transportation. Pastoral farming is found more in southwest England where the climate is warm and wet, even if the land is hilly.
- Organic farming avoids artificial fertilizers and pesticides and uses crop rotation to maintain soil fertility.
Diversification
Farm diversification is when farmers grow multiple crops and agricultural products on their land rather than specializing in one main crop. Traditionally, farms focused on a single product like dairy or livestock but now many farms are diversifying their offerings in response to changing market prices. Diversification allows farms to continue making money by providing a variety of agricultural goods and experiences to attract visitors.
L3 food miles
Food miles refer to the distance food travels from field to plate. Longer food miles contribute significantly to carbon dioxide emissions that cause climate change. The document discusses how most fruit and vegetables in the UK are now imported, having doubled since the 1990s, and imports are predicted to continue rising. It identifies several causes for this increase in food imports and miles, including lower costs, consumer demand for out-of-season foods, some foods not being able to be grown in the UK, supermarket desires for higher profits, and improved transportation technology. Potential positive and negative impacts of increased food miles are also mentioned.
Year 9 rf revision 2015
To revise key topics in geography including physical landscapes, glaciation, population, development, and tourism. The document provides revision materials such as diagrams, videos, exercises, and practice questions to help students review these concepts in preparation for an assessment. Interactive activities include matching processes of glaciation to their order, identifying features in photographs, and playing geography taboo to review terms related to development. The goal is to strengthen students' understanding of these interrelated topics through multi-modal learning and self-testing activities.
L6 tsunami ap
This document provides information about tsunamis, including what causes them, how they occur, and details about the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. It aims to teach students about tsunamis through defining key terms, having students watch explanatory videos, modeling a hypothetical tsunami using play dough to demonstrate the wave's destructive power, and role playing a television news script about the 2004 event.
L7 hazard research ap
This document discusses natural hazards and provides information and assignments about them. It defines a natural hazard as an extreme weather event that occurs naturally. Some examples of natural hazards mentioned are tornados, flooding, avalanches, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Students are assigned a project to research a natural hazard of their choice, with success criteria including describing what causes it, its effects on people, how humans respond to it, where it is found, and including an example, maps, photos and diagrams in their project.
Revision presentation 2015pptx blog
This document provides a summary of content for a Year 8 geography exam revision. It includes the following key points:
- Global issues section covers causes and effects of global warming, resource extraction in Congo, food and water access as global issues.
- Europe section covers identity, migration push/pull factors, and a quiz on the content.
- Plate tectonics section explains how the earth's crust is divided and how plates move, with examples of constructive, destructive, and conservative plate boundaries. It also discusses tsunamis and a case study.
- Hazards section provides guidance on a research project about a natural hazard, its causes, effects, responses, locations, and an example.
L5 planning questions
The document discusses anagrams and their corresponding words, including "assess", "discuss", "causes", "evaluate", and "consequences". It then provides potential essay questions about the causes and patterns of food insecurity around the world, asking the reader to discuss whether food insecurity has one primary cause or results from various local and regional factors. A model methodology and framework are mentioned but not described.
L6 planning questions
This document provides guidance on answering questions about data stimuli effectively:
- It warns students to avoid mixing up causes and consequences in their answers.
- It advises brushing up interpretation skills like considering all parts of maps, graphs, data tables and diagrams instead of just one area.
- It explains what makes a good data stimulus answer - correctly interpreting the question, focusing on the specific task like impacts rather than just describing changes, and using evidence from the stimulus instead of just the stimulus.
- It also provides examples of grouping information in the stimulus to more easily see trends and patterns, as well as using examples to add depth instead than just the stimulus.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
