The document discusses the male and female reproductive systems, with the male system responsible for producing sperm cells and the female system responsible for producing egg cells and protecting the growing fetus.
The document discusses several common myths about pregnancy, including that hot baths should be avoided, a baby's position determines its sex, pregnant women need to "eat for two", and certain foods can impact the baby's behavior after birth. All of these myths are labeled as false. The rest of the document discusses the anatomy and physiology of human reproduction, including the male and female reproductive systems, fertilization, fetal development stages, and types of twins.
The reproductive system allows humans to have babies. Men and women have different reproductive organs - women have ovaries that contain eggs called ovums, while men have testicles that contain sperm. Sometimes a sperm fertilizes an egg in the uterus, where the fertilized egg will grow into a baby over 9 months.
This document discusses sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves two parents and the fusion of gametes through fertilization, resulting in offspring with genetic variations. Asexual reproduction involves one parent and occurs through processes like budding, spore formation, or regeneration, where offspring are identical to the parent. The document also describes the male and female human reproductive systems and stages of the menstrual cycle. Different methods of human birth control like condoms, pills, and IUDs are explained. The process of pollination and conditions for seed germination are outlined.

This document summarizes the key components and functions of the human reproductive system. It explains that reproduction can occur sexually, involving both male and female gametes, or asexually with only one parent. Sexual reproduction results in offspring with genetic material from both parents and variation, while asexual reproduction clones the single parent. The male reproductive system produces and transports sperm for fertilization. The female system produces eggs and supports embryo development. Fertilization occurs when sperm fuse with eggs in the fallopian tubes.
The male reproductive system produces and releases sperm and sex hormones. It contains the testes which produce sperm and the hormone testosterone. The female reproductive system contains the ovaries which produce eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone. The menstrual cycle occurs in the ovaries and uterus, regulated by hormones, and involves the maturation and release of an egg if not fertilized.
The document discusses the human reproductive system. It explains that men and women have different reproductive organs and that their systems allow humans to have babies. Specifically, it notes that men have testicles which produce sperm and women have ovaries which contain eggs. The process of reproduction is then outlined as fertilization of an egg by sperm in the woman's body, development of the embryo in the uterus, and birth of a baby about nine months later.
Human reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote with genetic material from both parents. The male reproductive system produces sperm and testosterone, while the female reproductive system produces eggs and hormones like estrogen and progesterone that support pregnancy. Fertilization occurs when sperm joins with an egg, which then implants in the uterus and receives nutrients through the placenta until birth, in which contractions push the baby through the birth canal. Antenatal care includes maintaining a healthy diet and avoiding illness and substances for a healthy pregnancy and birth.
The document summarizes the human reproductive system. It describes that reproduction allows living things to create offspring similar to themselves. It then outlines the primary and secondary sexual features that characterize the male and female reproductive systems. The reproductive cells, ovaries, uterus, vagina, vulva, fallopian tubes, testicles, vas deferens, urethra, penis, seminal vesicles and prostate are defined. Fertilization is defined as the union of sperm and ovum in the fallopian tubes, and menstruation occurs if the ovum is not fertilized. The development of an embryo is described including the placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic sac.

The document discusses human reproduction and the male and female reproductive systems. It explains that humans reproduce sexually through internal fertilization. The male reproductive system produces sperm and releases testosterone, while the female system produces eggs and releases estrogen. Both systems undergo changes during puberty as sex hormones are produced.
This document discusses egg-laying animals and provides some facts. Many animals reproduce by laying eggs, which the parents then keep warm by sitting on them or in a warm place until the young hatch. Some key facts mentioned are that sitting on eggs to keep them warm is called incubation, baby cockroaches are called nymphs, and certain mammals like the duck-billed platypus and spiny anteater lay eggs instead of giving birth to live babies.

The document discusses several body systems including the reproductive, immune, and endocrine systems. The reproductive system includes both male and female organs and is responsible for producing sperm and egg cells. The immune system is a network that protects the body from pathogens using cells, tissues, and organs. The endocrine system is made up of glands that release hormones like adrenaline to regulate functions in the body.
The male and female reproductive systems work together to produce offspring. The male system produces sperm which combine with eggs from the female system. A complex interplay of hormones regulates the production of gametes and preparation for pregnancy in both sexes. Fertilization occurs when sperm penetrates an egg, beginning the process of embryonic development and eventual birth.
The reproductive system allows organisms to reproduce. It consists of internal organs that produce gametes (eggs in females, sperm in males) and external genitalia. The male reproductive system includes testes that produce sperm and the female system includes ovaries that produce eggs. During pregnancy, the placenta connects the fetus to the uterine wall, allowing nutrient/gas exchange between mother and fetus.
The document discusses the development of a fertilized egg from a zygote to an embryo and eventually a fetus. It explains that a zygote is formed when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell. The zygote then undergoes cell division as it moves through the fallopian tube. It is eventually implanted in the uterus where it develops into a many-celled embryo. By around 9 weeks, most organs have formed and it is called a fetus. The fetus remains in the uterus for 9 months, nourished by the placenta through the umbilical cord, until birth.
1. There are two main human reproductive cells - the female egg (ovum) and the male sperm. Through sexual reproduction, these cells can join to create a new life.
2. The female reproductive system includes ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina. The ovaries release eggs monthly during the menstrual cycle.
3. The male reproductive system includes testicles, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate, and penis. The testicles produce sperm, which are transported and mixed with fluids to create semen.
This document discusses human reproduction. It explains that reproduction is important for perpetuating life through offspring. Both males and females have reproductive systems that play roles in human reproduction. The document outlines the male and female reproductive organs and their functions. It also explains that the body must develop and undergo changes to be physically ready for reproduction. Key aspects of reproduction are the production of gametes (sex cells), which are sperm for males and eggs for females. Fertilization occurs when the sperm and egg unite, beginning the process of life. The male reproductive system and its main organs are defined.
Livestock reproduction is vitally important for farmers' revenue. There are technological advances in breeding techniques like artificial insemination which allow semen from superior males to inseminate more females. Females have estrous cycles and can only get pregnant when in heat, the timing of which depends on light and temperature. Methods of inseminating livestock include natural mating or artificial insemination using collected semen.
The male reproductive system generates semen in the testicles, which is stored in the epididymis for several days. During ejaculation, semen is expelled through the vas deferens and seminal vesicle into the ejaculatory duct and urethra. The muscular movements of ejaculation propel the sperm forward and out of the body. The functions of the male reproductive system are to produce, maintain and transport sperm and semen, discharge sperm in the female reproductive tract, and produce male sex hormones like testosterone.
The document discusses various methods of contraception including barrier methods like condoms and diaphragms, hormonal methods like birth control pills and implants, fertility awareness techniques, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and surgical sterilization methods. It provides details on effectiveness, proper use, side effects, and limitations for preventing pregnancy and STIs for each method.
Human reproduction involves a male sperm fertilizing a female ovum. The fertilized egg then divides and multiplies, becoming an embryo that implants in the uterus and develops into a fetus over 9 weeks. The fetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the placenta via the umbilical cord until birth, which is signaled by contractions that push the fetus through the birth canal.
The document summarizes the male and female reproductive systems. It explains that the female system produces eggs and allows for fertilization and embryo development. The male system produces and stores sperm. Fertilization occurs when a sperm enters an egg to form a zygote, which develops into an embryo and fetus over a typical 9 month pregnancy period. The placenta provides nutrients to the developing baby until birth.
The document discusses the estrous cycle in various species, including the hormonal control of estrus and ovulation. It also covers signs of impending parturition, stages of labor, common dystocia issues, care of the newborn including colostrum administration and management of failure of passive transfer. Reproductive techniques like estrus synchronization, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer are also outlined.
Humans reproduce sexually. The male reproductive system produces sperm in the testes which travel through the vas deferens. The female reproductive system contains ovaries that release eggs and fallopian tubes where fertilization may occur. Genes contained in DNA influence human traits and are passed from parents to offspring. Reproduction ensures survival of species by allowing characteristics to be inherited by descendants.
Reproduction is the process by which life is maintained from one generation to the next. Reproductive health refers to the complete physical, mental, and social well-being relating to the reproductive system, its functions, and processes. The reproductive system is a set of organs that work together for the purpose of reproduction, including producing egg and sperm cells, transporting and sustaining these cells, nurturing developing offspring, and producing hormones.
1. Sexual reproduction in animals involves three stages: pre-fertilization where gametes are produced, fertilization where the gametes fuse, and embryo formation where the zygote divides and develops.
2. Animals are either oviparous, where the embryo develops outside the body in eggs, or viviparous, where the embryo develops inside the mother's body.
3. Asexual reproduction methods in some animals include fission, budding, fragmentation, and spores, allowing reproduction without fertilization.
The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, which work together to control body organs, coordinate muscle movement, and interpret information from the senses. The brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system, which connects to nerves throughout the body to monitor and control organ functions and muscle activity based on sensory feedback.
The document describes the basic anatomy and function of the respiratory system. It lists the main organs - nose, trachea, lungs, and diaphragm. The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body through breathing and removes carbon dioxide, allowing oxygen to be delivered to the blood and carbon dioxide to be removed, while the diaphragm and lungs work together to enable breathing.

This document discusses different states of matter and their properties. It defines solids, liquids, and gases based on their particle arrangement, attraction forces, and ability to change shape or volume. Key properties discussed include melting point, boiling point, freezing point, and density. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space. Mass is the amount of substance in an object, while volume refers to the space an object occupies. Density relates the distribution of mass within a given volume.
This document discusses the differences between physical and chemical changes, noting that chemical changes are irreversible and result in new substances, while physical changes are reversible. It provides examples of evidence of chemical changes, including changes in color, scent, the presence of bubbles or fizzing, and the release or absorption of heat during reactions like rusting, silver tarnishing, toasting marshmallows, antacid tablets reacting with vinegar, and a fire.
Filtration, magnets, evaporation, and distillation can be used to separate mixtures. Distillation involves separating liquids with different boiling points by evaporating and condensing them. The process of distillation separates liquids using evaporation and condensation.
This document provides safety tips for handling electricity, advising to not play with electric sockets or plugs, not to touch electricity with wet hands, and to avoid poking fingers or other objects into electric sockets, toasters, or other appliances.
The water cycle begins when water from bodies of water evaporates into water vapor due to heat from the sun. The water vapor condenses into water droplets in the air that form clouds. The water droplets in clouds join together and become too heavy, causing rain or snow to fall back to the ground. When rain falls on land, some water soaks into the soil and is used by plants, some becomes groundwater, excess water runs off into streams and rivers, and some evaporates back into the air to repeat the cycle.
A suspension is a mixture where particles are mixed with but undissolved in a liquid and over time the particles settle to the bottom. Distillation is a process used to separate liquids with different boiling points by evaporating the mixture and then condensing the vapors to separate the liquids.
The document discusses the basics of static electricity and atoms. It explains that atoms are made up of positively and negatively charged particles that attract or repel depending on their charge. Static electricity occurs when objects come into contact and transfer electrons, resulting in an imbalance of charges. Examples given include rubbing a balloon or cloth to build up an excess of negative charges, which can then stick to walls or paper due to attraction between opposite charges. Lightning is also described as a large-scale discharge of built up static charges between storm clouds and the ground.
The document discusses series and parallel circuits. It provides examples of series circuits with one path and defines that if one light bulb is removed, the circuit is open and other bulbs will not light. Parallel circuits are defined as having more than one path, and if one light bulb is removed, the current passes through another path and the other bulb will still light. The document draws examples of both series and parallel circuits.
The document discusses how to measure your heart rate and factors that affect it. It explains that a person's heart rate, or pulse, is the number of heartbeats per minute, with the average being around 80. A doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to sounds in the chest to check the heart rate. The heart is made of muscle and located in the center of the chest. The circulatory system involves the heart pumping oxygenated blood to the body through arteries and deoxygenated blood back to the lungs through veins to be re-oxygenated.
The document discusses the importance of a balanced diet and getting food from the main food groups including carbohydrates, vegetables and fruits, dairy and meat, and fats. It emphasizes eating more of carbohydrates like grains and less of fats. A balanced diet provides vitamins, minerals, protein for growth, and energy. It also stresses the importance of daily exercise and warns about the health risks of smoking cigarettes.
The immune system is a network that protects the body through cells, tissues, and organs working together. The endocrine system is composed of glands that release hormones into the bloodstream to regulate bodily functions. An example is the adrenal gland releasing hormones that cause the heart to beat faster during fear responses.
This document discusses mixtures and solutions. It defines a mixture as having two or more substances mixed together but not combined chemically, like sand and water. A solution is a type of mixture where the parts blend uniformly, like sugar dissolving in water. A solution has a solute, which is the smaller amount that dissolves, and a solvent, which is the larger amount that dissolves the solute. Several examples of solutions and their solutes and solvents are provided, such as sugar water where sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. The document notes that in a solution there is typically more of the solvent than the solute. It also defines solubility as the maximum amount of solute that can
4 ppt reversible and irreversible changeDrSarahAyoub
The document discusses reversible and irreversible changes. Reversible changes can go forward or backward and do not result in new substances, such as folding paper or melting butter. Irreversible changes result in one or more new substances and cannot be undone, like burning wood or iron rusting. Examples are provided of both reversible changes like freezing orange juice and irreversible changes like burning a matchstick.
Iron particles are lined up when a magnet is brought close to iron. When two bar magnets are placed close together with the same poles facing, they will repel each other. The magnetic field consists of field lines that emerge from the North pole and reenter at the South pole. Magnets are made of iron, nickel, or cobalt. Magnetic materials such as iron and steel are attracted to magnets, while non-magnetic materials like plastic and wood are not. To preserve a bar magnet, it should be stored with another magnet to maintain its magnetic field.
This document discusses the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas - using water as an example. It states that the solid state of water is ice, the liquid state is water, and the gas state is vapor. It also outlines the phase changes between the different states, such as melting and freezing between solid and liquid, and evaporation and condensation between liquid and gas.
Teeth are used to break down food into pieces for swallowing. They come in different shapes for different functions - incisors cut, canines tear and hold, and molars grind and chew food. Humans have two sets of teeth - milk teeth that are replaced by 32 permanent adult teeth which will not regrow if lost. Teeth have layers including enamel, dentin, and a pulp chamber.
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. There are three main states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Examples of the different states include ice as a solid, water as a liquid, and air as a gas.
Electrical conductors allow electric current to flow through them, such as metals like copper and aluminum. Good electrical conductors are also generally good heat conductors. Electrical insulators do not allow electric current to flow through, such as plastics, wood, rubber and glass. A circuit tester can be used to determine if a material is a conductor or insulator by seeing if it allows a bulb in the circuit to light up when placed between the wires.
1) Acids and alkalis undergo a neutralization reaction where an acid reacts with an alkali to form a salt and water.
2) Common examples of neutralization include reactions between acids like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid with alkalis like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
3) Neutralization reactions have many applications including relieving insect stings, curing indigestion, baking cakes, putting out fires, and improving poor soil quality affected by acid rain.
Thermal energy is the energy of moving particles that makes up heat. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects when they are at different temperatures. Temperature measures the amount of thermal energy in an object, with higher temperatures indicating more thermal energy. Thermometers measure temperature using liquids that expand when heated, allowing the user to read the temperature in degrees. Thermal conductors easily allow the transfer of heat, like metals, while insulators do not, like plastics and wood. Common materials are identified as conductors or insulators based on their ability to transfer thermal energy.
Robert Boyle discovered that red cabbage juice and violets could be used as acid-base indicators. Red cabbage juice turns red in acids and green in alkalis, while violets turn purple in acids and greenish-yellow in alkalis. He also found that the juice from lichen (litmus) changed color between acids and alkalis and could be used on paper strips. This led to the development of the pH scale to quantify the strength of acids and alkalis from 0-14 based on their hydrogen ion concentration. Common pH indicators like methyl orange and phenolphthalein change color over different ranges on the pH scale to indicate whether a solution is acidic, basic, or neutral.
This document discusses acids and alkalis. It notes that ancient Egyptians and Greeks observed that some substances taste sour while others feel slippery. Scientists later named sour substances "acids" and slippery substances "alkalis." Examples of acids found in nature include citric acid in oranges and lactic acid in muscles. Vinegar contains ethanoic acid. Acids can be classified as organic, produced by living things, or mineral. Common alkalis include sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, and limewater. Concentrated solutions of acids and alkalis are corrosive, while dilute solutions are irritants. Alkalis are found in household cleaners and react with skin fat to produce soap-like substances.
This document discusses neutralization reactions between acids and bases. It provides examples of common acids like hydrochloric, sulfuric, and nitric acid reacting with bases like sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide to form salts and water. Additional examples are given for using neutralization reactions to cure bee stings, treat indigestion, make baking powder rise in cakes, improve acidic soil for crop growth, and reduce the effects of acid rain by neutralizing it. The document also covers how neutralization can be used to clean teeth and dissolve mineral scales from kettles.
Litmus is used to detect acids and alkalis. It can be used as a solution or absorbed into paper strips. Litmus solution turns red in acid and blue in alkali, while litmus paper turns red in acid and blue in alkali. The pH scale measures acidity and alkalinity from 0 to 14, with 0 being the strongest acid and 14 the strongest alkali. pH levels between 0-2 are strong acids, 3-6 are weak acids, 7 is neutral, 8-11 are weak alkalis, and 12-14 are strong alkalis.
This document discusses acids and alkalis found in daily life. It notes that while some acids are corrosive, others like citric acid are found in foods and give them their sour taste. Examples of acids in living things include citric acid in oranges and lemons, ascorbic acid in fruits, lactic acid in muscles, and uric acid in urine. Vinegar contains ethanoic acid, also known as acetic acid, which is produced when oxygen reacts with ethanol in wine over time. Acids can be classified as organic acids produced by living things or mineral acids not produced by living things. While concentrated acids and alkalis are corrosive, dilute solutions are safer to handle.
Magnets are made of iron, nickel, cobalt, or steel. To preserve a bar magnet, you should store it with another magnet pointing in the opposite direction to maintain its magnetic field. When a magnet breaks, its magnetic field also breaks into smaller magnetic fields. An electromagnet generates a magnetic field through a coil of wire when electric current passes through; placing an iron core in the coil makes the magnetic field stronger. Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are magnetic, while materials like aluminum, copper, glass, plastic, wood, and silver are non-magnetic.
Thermal energy is the energy of moving particles that causes heat. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects when they are at different temperatures. The document discusses conductors and insulators - materials that easily allow heat to pass through them are conductors like metals and materials that do not are insulators like rubber. It provides examples of common objects and whether they are thermal conductors or insulators.
The saucepan was being stirred by a wooden spoon while heating gravy. The hood suggested using a metal spoon instead, but the wooden spoon argued it would not catch fire unless put in the gas flame. The saucepan, with a wooden handle, and kettle, with a plastic handle, agreed their materials keep the heat from reaching what they are holding. The window explained it does not let cold in but instead keeps the heat in the kitchen from escaping, which would result in it feeling cold without this function.
Water exerts two main forces - upthrust force and water resistance. Upthrust force causes objects to float and is felt when holding down a floating object underwater. Water resistance is felt when walking or swimming through water, as water pushes back against movement. Air resistance also impacts moving objects, slowing them down depending on size, and can be useful for parachutes which use air resistance to slow falling.
Forces cause objects to move, change direction, or stop moving. Unbalanced forces cause motion while balanced forces do not. Friction is a type of force that opposes motion between two surfaces and causes moving objects to slow down and stop. The more mass an object has, the greater its weight due to gravity.
This document discusses the uses of four different types of rocks: slate, granite, chalk, and marble. Slate is used for roofing tiles and billiard tables because it is hard, impermeable, and slips easily into thin sheets. Granite is used for steps, roads, buildings, and schools because it is hard and impermeable and doesn't wear away easily. Chalk is used for writing on blackboards because it is formed from sea creatures and wears away easily. Marble is used for floor and wall tiles and statues because it has attractive texture and color and can be cut and polished.
Soils are mixtures of bits of rocks, dead plants and animals, air and water that support plant growth. Different soil types like sand, silt and clay are distinguished by the size of their particles and how much air and water they hold. Sand drains easily while clay drains poorly, meaning different soil types support different plants.
1. Light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum and can travel through a vacuum without a medium, unlike sound waves.
2. Light travels in transverse waves and when it hits objects can be absorbed, reflected, or pass through.
3. The major natural light source is the sun, while other sources can be natural or man-made. Objects like the moon and water reflect rather than generate light.
Soils are mixtures of bits of rocks, dead plants and animals, air and water that support plant growth. Different soil types contain particles of different sizes that impact drainage and which plants can grow best. Sand soil has large particles and drains easily while clay soil has tiny particles, few air gaps, and does not drain easily.
The document discusses the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and hardens. Sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments. Metamorphic rocks form when existing rocks are changed by heat, pressure, and chemical reactions deep underground. The rock cycle shows how the three rock types are interrelated as one rock type transforms into another over time.
Ch.11.less.1.how are forces and motion related?DrSarahAyoub
1) The document discusses different types of motion including up and down, straight line, round and round, zigzag, and back and forth motion. It also discusses distance, direction, forces, and types of forces including balanced and unbalanced forces.
2) Forces can make something move, change an object's direction or speed, or change an object's shape. Examples of forces include gravity, friction, and air resistance.
3) Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces can make an object start or stop moving or change directions.
Light comes primarily from the sun. It can also come from other natural sources like the moon or man-made sources like lamps. The moon and mirrors do not produce their own light but reflect light from other sources.
Light travels in straight lines and can pass through transparent materials, pass through translucent materials partially, or be blocked by opaque materials. The way light interacts with objects determines whether they appear colored or form shadows. Reflection and refraction explain how light bends when moving between different materials like air and water.
Ch.12.less.2.what are the properties of sound [autosaved] [recovered]DrSarahAyoub
The document discusses key properties of sound including that it is a type of energy that moves through matter as longitudinal waves of vibrations called sound waves. It moves through three parts of the ear - outer, middle, and inner - and can be reflected as echoes. The pitch and frequency of sounds are related, though pitch is how our ears perceive it, and volume refers to the density of compressions and rarefactions in the air. Materials like wall padding and foam can absorb sound waves to reduce echoes and noise.
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.

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.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
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.
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.
