Best practices for digital tool inclusiceness & farmer co-creation of practicesSadie W Shelton
OpenTEAM serves as a platform for dialogue. This series provides more in-depth information about organizations and companies within and outside of OpenTEAM that are working on similar topics around technology and regenerative agriculture.
Lini Wollenberg and their colleagues will present a set of proposed principles for the social inclusion of smallholder farmers in the development and use of digital tools. The guide is based on a synthesis of existing principles and standards, and gives special attention to farmer co-creation of agricultural practices as a gap in the literature. The principles are an output of the Inclusive Digital Tools Project and will be used to guide development of improved tools in action research conducted by the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT in Brazil for livestock and by IRRI in Vietnam for rice.

Harnessing VCMs for Agricultural Finance and Transitions - global stocktakeSadie W Shelton
Presented at the COP28 Food & Agriculture Pavilion on Dec 4, 2023, by Lini Wollenberg (Alliance of Bioversity & CIAT, & Gund Institute at University of Vermont).
Watch the recording: https://www.youtube.com/live/EnCPz3OaCPM?feature=shared
This COP28 event presented the first global stocktake of carbon payments and the voluntary carbon market (VCM) in agriculture. It showcased how VCMs can help low- and middle-income countries fund food system transformations for security, resilience, and reduced emissions. Panelists shared their diverse experiences and strategies, fostering dialogue on financing large-scale transformative solutions at the national level.
The event aimed to better understand the agriculture sector's involvement in the voluntary carbon market and generate insights into what more can be done to support scaling the VCM, especially for the benefit of smallholder farmers. The discussion may also inform negotiations around the linkages between the VCM and emerging Article 6 implementation.
This work was undertaken by Alliance of Bioversity & CIAT & University of Vermont scientists in collaboration with Unique Land Use and support from FAO.

This presentation was given on May 18, 2022, by Sinead Waters, The Agriculture and Food Development Authority, Ireland, and the Livestock Research Group of the GRA.
The presentation was part of the "Scaling up feed additives & evidence for impacts" webinar, an Aim4Climate Ideation event.
This event is coordinated by The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT in partnership with:
• New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC)
• Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA)
• The Gund Institute for Environment at the University of Vermont
• Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)
• United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
• Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC)
• Aim4Climate, USDA
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.

Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Evolution: Provides insight into the evolution of eukaryotic cells.
Medicine: Understanding mitochondrial inheritance helps in diagnosing and treating mitochondrial diseases.
Agriculture: Chloroplast inheritance can be used in plant breeding and genetic modification.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

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.
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
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.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. 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.

Holistic sustainability:
• Society: consultation with native communities,
payment of fair wages, contributions to community
welfare (education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.)
• Economy: formalization of labor, financially
competitive returns, resource maximization
• Environment: animal welfare, landscape preservation,
protection of flora and fauna
6. Implementation of improved forages developed by CIAT has been a solution
for carbon sequestration and emission reduction from livestock systems
• Improved forages (and livestock practices) could also be used to engage livestock systems in voluntary
carbon markets and attract finance for scaling
7. The HSJ package of interventions complies with C project
standards applicability conditions (such as Verra-VM 0042)
• The project must implement new change(s) to the pre-existing agricultural
management activities. For example::
a. Reduction in fertilizer application,
b. Improvement of water management,
c. Improvement of residue management.
d. Reduce tillage
e. Improve crop planting and harvesting
f. Improved grazing practices
• The project activities must be implemented on either grassland or
cropland at the start of the project and remain grassland or cropland
through the project crediting period.
• No native ecosystems (forest or other) are or have been cleared for
agricultural purposes within the past ten years.
• The project activity cannot occur on wetlands.
