This document discusses functions and function notation. It defines a function as a relation where each input has exactly one output. Functions are represented using functional notation f(x) where f is the name of the function and x is the input. The domain of a function is the set of all possible inputs, and the range is the set of all possible outputs. A relation is not a function if one input has more than one output. The natural domain of a function is the set of inputs that make the function definition valid.

Comparative analysis of x^3+y^3=z^3 and x^2+y^2=z^2 in the Interconnected Sets Vladimir Godovalov
This paper introduces an innovative technique of study z^3-x^3=y^3 on the subject of its insolvability in integers. Technique starts from building the interconnected, third degree sets: A3={a_n│a_n=n^3,n∈N}, B3={b_n│b_n=a_(n+1)-a_n }, C3={c_n│c_n=b_(n+1)-b_n } and P3={6} wherefrom we get a_n and b_n expressed as figurate polynomials of third degree, a new finding in mathematics. This approach and the results allow us to investigate equation z^3-x^3=y in these interconnected sets A3 and B3, where z^3∧x^3∈A3, y∈B3. Further, in conjunction with the new Method of Ratio Comparison of Summands and Pascal’s rule, we finally prove inability of y=y^3. After we test the technique, applying the same approach to z^2-x^2=y where we get family of primitive z^2-x^2=y^2 as well as introduce conception of the basic primitiveness of z^'2-x^'2=y^2 for z^'-x^'=1 and the dependant primitiveness of z^'2-x^'2=y^2 for co-prime x,y,z and z^'-x^'>1.
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.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

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.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard 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.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.

Relations (1 of 3)
A relation is a pairing of numbers from one set, called
the domain, with numbers from another set, called the
range. Each number in the domain is an input. Each
number in the range is an output.
In relations represented by ordered pairs, the inputs are
the 𝑥-coordinates and the outputs are the 𝑦-coordinates
Example 1. State the domain and range of the relation:
Solution.
𝑥 2 4 5 5 7
𝑦 5 9 3 7 7
2, 4, 5, 7Domain: Range: 3, 5, 7, 9
3. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Relations (2 of 3)
Example 2. Give an example of an ordered pair from
each of the following relations. Determine the domain
and range of the relations:
Solution.
Example 3. Represent the following relation as:
−1, 1 , 2, 0 , 3, 1 , 3, 2 , 4, 5
(a) A table (b) A graph (c) A mapping diagram
(a) 𝑦 = 𝑥2
+ 1 (b) 𝑦 = 𝑥
(a) 1, 2 Domain: ℝ Range: 𝑥 ≥ 1
(b) 4, 2 Domain: 𝑥 ≥ 0 Range: 𝑥 ≥ 0

Relations (3 of 3)
Solution.

𝑦 1 0 1 2 5
(a) A table
(b) A graph (c) A mapping diagram
5. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Function Definition (1 of 1)
A relation is a function if for each input, there is exactly
one output. In this case, we say the output is a function
of the input.
Example 4. State which relation is a function:
Solution.
2, 36 , 4, 38 , 5, 40 , 5, 41 , 7, 42
−1, 1 , 2, 0 , 3, 1 , 3, 2 , 4, 5
(a)
(b)
(c) −2, 3 , −1, 5 , 0, 7 , 1, 9 , 2 11
(a) is not a function because:
the input 5 is paired with two different outputs 40, & 41.
Alligators of the same age can have different heights.
(b) is not a function because: (3, 1) and (3, 2) are pairs
(c) is a function as: 1 input paired with exactly 1 output.
6. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Vertical Line Test (1 of 1)
Vertical Line Test. A relation is not a function, if one
can find a vertical line passing through more than one
point on its graph. Otherwise, the relation is a function.
(a) This is a function, as no
vertical line passes through
more than one point.
(b) Not a function since a
vertical line passes through
the points (3, 1) and (3, −2).
7. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Function Notation (1 of 6)
If an equation in 𝑥 and 𝑦 gives one and only one value
of 𝑦 for each value of 𝑥, then the variable 𝑦 is a function
of the variable 𝑥.
Example 5. In the following relation is 𝑦 a function of 𝑥?
Solution. Note that the ordered pairs 0, 1 and 0, −1
satisfy the equation. Therefore, 𝑦 is not a function of 𝑥.
When an equation represents a function, the function is
often named by a letter such as 𝑓, 𝑔, ℎ. Any letter
(Latin, Greek, other) can be used to name a function.
Let 𝑓 denote a function, then the domain is the set of
inputs and the range—the set of outputs of 𝑓.
𝑥2
+ 𝑦2
= 1
8. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Function Notation (2 of 6)
As shown in the following figure (the function machine),
input is represented by 𝑥 and the output by 𝑓(𝑥).
The special notation 𝑓(𝑥), read as “𝑓 of 𝑥” or “𝑓 at 𝑥,”
represents the value of the function at the number 𝑥.
Let us consider an example of a function:
𝑦 = 𝑥2
+ 3𝑥 + 1
9. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Function Notation (3 of 6)
We will call this function 𝑓. In our new notation:
Read as: “𝑓 of 𝑥 equals 𝑥-squared plus three-𝑥 plus 1”.
Suppose we wish to find the value of 𝑓(2). We will
substitute the number 2 for 𝑥 in the formula for 𝑓(𝑥):
The statement 𝑓 2 = 11, read as “𝑓 of 2 equals 11”,
tells us that the value of the function at 2 is 11.
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2
+ 3𝑥 + 1
𝑥2
+ 3𝑥 + 1
𝑓(2) = 2 2
+ 3 2 + 1
𝑓(𝑥) =
= 4 + 6 + 1
𝑓(2) = 11
13. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Equality of Functions (1 of 1)
Two functions are equal if they have the same domain
and the same value at every number in that domain.
Example 9. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 with domain all real
numbers and let 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥2
with domain the set of
positive numbers. Are 𝑓 and 𝑔 equal as functions?
Answer. No, for example:
does not exist,
Example 10. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2
with domain the set
1, 2 and let 𝑔 𝑥 = 3𝑥 − 2 with domain the set 1, 2 .
Are 𝑓 and 𝑔 equal as functions?
Answer.
𝑓 −2 = 4 but 𝑔 −2
Yes, they both have the same domain:
and: 𝑓 1 = 1, 𝑔 1 = 1;
1, 2
𝑓 2 = 𝑔 2 =4, 4.
since, −2 is not in the domain of 𝑔.
14. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Equality of Functions (2 of 2)
Given two functions expressed as formulas in 𝑥, how do
you check on what domain they are equal as functions?
Answer. Equate the two formulas and solve for 𝑥.
In Example 10, determine the domain on which the
function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2
is equal to 𝑔 𝑥 = 3𝑥 − 2.
It follows that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2
is equal to 𝑔 𝑥 = 3𝑥 − 2 as
functions on the domain:
𝑥2
= 3𝑥 − 2 Equate the two functions
𝑥2
− 3𝑥 + 2 = 0
𝑥 − 1 𝑥 − 2 = 0 Factor
𝑥 = 1, 2 Solve for 𝑥
1, 2
15. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Natural Domain of a Function (1 of 1)
If a function defined by a formula does not have a
domain specified, then the “natural domain” or “implied
domain” is the set of real numbers for which the formula
makes sense and produces a real number.
Example 11. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 − 1 2
, determine its
natural domain.
Solution. Substituting any real number for the variable
𝑥, yields a real number for 𝑓(𝑥), so the domain is ℝ.
Example 12. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥2+3𝑥+7
𝑥−4
, determine its
natural domain.
Solution. The domain of all polynomials is ℝ. So, we
have: 𝑥 − 4 ≠ 0 or 𝑥 ≠ 4, Domain: all reals except 4.
16. Lehman College, Department of Mathematics
Natural Domain of a Function (1 of 1)
Example 13. Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥, find its natural domain.
Solution. Substituting a negative number for the
variable 𝑥 does not yield a real number for 𝑓(𝑥), so the
natural domain is all nonnegative numbers:
Example 14. Suppose 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 6, determine its
natural domain.
Solution. From Example 13, the expression under the
square root sign must be nonnegative:
𝑥 ≥ 0
2𝑥 + 6 ≥ 0
2𝑥 + 6 − 6 ≥ 0 − 6
2𝑥 ≥ −6
𝑥 ≥ −3
