Microorganisms can increase soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere. Some bacteria are called biological nitrogen fixers as they enrich soil with nitrogen. Microorganisms decompose dead organic waste from plants and animals, converting it into simple substances that plants and animals then use. They can be used to degrade harmful and smelly substances and clean the environment. However, plastic materials are not decomposed by microorganisms. Pathogens are microorganisms that cause diseases in humans, plants and animals.

The document also covers the usefulness of microorganisms in food production, soil health, and medicine, as well as the harms caused by pathogenic microbes like those that cause cholera, tuberculosis and anthrax in humans and livestock. It defines antibiotics and cautions that they should only
Soil Microbiology & Nitrogen Cycle
This document discusses soil microbiology and the nitrogen cycle. It begins by explaining that soil contains hundreds of millions to billions of microbes per gram, with bacteria being the most numerous. The growth and activities of soil microbes are controlled by factors like organic carbon, moisture, aeration, pH, temperature, and nutrients. Soil microbes play important roles in soil structure, converting nutrients into plant-available forms, and directly and indirectly promoting plant growth. The nitrogen cycle is then described, including the key processes of nitrogen fixation, nitrification, denitrification, and anammox that transform nitrogen between its different chemical forms and maintain the environment.
Problems & Profit With Waste
Sewage contains organic waste that provides food for bacteria. The bacteria multiply and consume oxygen in the water, causing other aquatic organisms to suffocate due to lack of oxygen. Sewage treatment uses microbes to convert harmful materials in sewage into harmless products through processes like activated sludge digestion and anaerobic sedimentation, allowing the treated waste to be safely released into rivers.
Soil micro ornanism beneficial and harmful role
1) Soil contains various microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, protozoa, nematodes, and algae that play important roles in soil processes.
2) These organisms decompose organic matter, mineralize nutrients, fix atmospheric nitrogen, and engage in mutualistic relationships that influence plant growth.
3) However, some microbes can also negatively impact soils through processes like denitrification, causing plant diseases, and competing with plants for nutrients.
Importance of bacteria in Agriculture
This ppt includes all the various important aspects of bacteria in Agricultural purposes.
Bacteria are found everywhere.The soil provides a favourable environment for various microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. Therefore, these microbes are abundantly and sometimes densely found in the soil. It is estimated that there are almost one to ten million microorganisms per gram of soil. Among all these microorganisms, bacterias and fungi are the most common. All these microorganisms in the soil interact with each other to create constantly altering conditions. The interactions between these multiple factors are responsible for various types of soil in a particular place and constitute a distinct branch of agriculture microbiology called soil microbiology.
The agricultural industry consists of anything grown or raised for human use, such as livestock, lumber, flowers, and harvesting plants to feed or sell, etc. It is one of the oldest industries in the world, almost thousands of years old. The agricultural industry has changed a lot in the last 100 years. Now, agriculturalists can grow more crops in small spaces. The cost of farming is reduced. Advance study in soil microbiology and biotechnology has brought many changes in agriculture like better quality and quantity crops, improvement in soil fertilisation, etc.

Bioremediation clean environment
Bioremediation uses microorganisms like bacteria and fungi to degrade contaminants in soil and water. It works by stimulating natural microbial activity to break down harmful pollutants into harmless substances. Various technologies can be used including treating excavated soil in biopiles or bioreactors, injecting nutrients and oxygen into contaminated groundwater and soil, and planting vegetation that helps remove toxins from the environment. The microbes metabolize the pollutants for food and energy through aerobic or anaerobic processes, transforming contaminants into less toxic or non-toxic forms.
Definition and scope of microbiology.pdf
Microbiology is a branch of science that deals with microbes. The term microbiology derives its name from three Greek words mikros [small] bios [life] and logos [study]. Microbiology focus on the occurrence and distribution of microorganisms in nature, their structure, physiology, reproduction, metabolism and classification.
Microbes - Microorganisms are tiny and invisible to naked eye. They can be seen only by magnifying their image with a microscope. Small subcellular or cellular living beings with milli-micron or micron in size and are not visible to our naked eyes are called micro-organisms. Microorganisms include the cellular organisms like bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. Viruses are also included as one of the microorganism but they are acellular.
Types of Greenhouse
There are several types of greenhouses categorized by shape, construction materials, temperature control capabilities, and cost. The main types are lean-to (attached to existing structure), even-span (free-standing with equal roof slopes), and quonset (hoop-shaped with plastic covering). Glass and rigid panels allow more light but plastic films are cheaper. Heated greenhouses maintain temperatures at night while ventilated models provide cooling in summer. Construction can use wood, pipes, or trusses depending on the span. More advanced automated greenhouses are higher cost but control the environment more precisely.
ANOMALOUS Secondary thickening in storage roots - beetroot
This document summarizes the process of anomalous secondary thickening in beetroot roots. It begins with the primary root structure having a radial stele. Secondary growth is initiated by the formation of a cambial ring from pericycle and parenchyma cells. This cambial ring produces secondary xylem, phloem, and parenchyma in an abnormal pattern. Successive cambial rings form and produce more vascular bundles separated by parenchyma that functions for storage. Over time, proliferating parenchyma cells fill with reserves and vascular bundles are further separated. This results in the thickened, storage root structure seen in beetroots.

Micro-Organisms - Class 8
This document discusses microorganisms and yeast. It notes that microorganisms can be seen with a microscope and includes bacteria and typhoid as examples. Yeast reproduces rapidly during respiration, producing carbon dioxide that causes dough to rise, forming the basis for using yeast in baking bread, pastries, and cakes. Yeast is also used commercially to produce alcohol through the process of fermentation, in which yeast converts sugar into alcohol. Louis Pasteur discovered the process of fermentation in 1857. The document provides examples of how yeast is used and defines key terms like fermentation.
Transfer of heat: Land/ Sea breeze and radiation - Class 7
The document discusses land and sea breezes as well as heat transfer via radiation. It explains that at night, land cools faster than the sea, creating land breezes as cooler air flows from land to sea. During the day, land heats up faster, creating sea breezes as warmer air rises from the land and cooler air moves from the sea. It also notes that heat from the sun reaches Earth via radiation through empty space without a medium, as the sun radiates infrared rays in all directions.
Transfer of heat: Conduction & Convection - Class 7
Heat is transferred in three ways: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves the transfer of heat between objects in direct contact through particle collisions without particle movement. Good conductors like metals easily conduct heat, while insulators like plastics and wood do not. Convection refers to the transfer of heat by the circulation of fluids like air and water, where heated parts become less dense and rise, and colder, denser parts take their place, circulating heat. Examples are convection currents in air above a candle and in water.
Clinical and Laboratory Thermometer - Class 7
The document discusses clinical and laboratory thermometers, describing that clinical thermometers are used to measure human body temperature between 35-42°C while laboratory thermometers have a wider range from -10-110°C. It explains how to properly use and read each type of thermometer, noting precautions like washing, holding by the glass, and keeping the mercury level in sight.
Hot and Cold Temperature - Class 7
This document discusses heat, temperature, and how they are measured. It explains that temperature is a property that indicates whether an object is hot or cold, and is measured using a thermometer. A higher temperature means an object is hotter, while a lower temperature means it is colder. While our sense of touch can determine relative hotness and coldness, temperature measured with a thermometer provides an exact reading in degrees Celsius. The document also describes physical and chemical changes that occur in objects when heat is added or removed.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
ANAMOLOUS SECONDARY GROWTH IN DICOT ROOTS.pptx
Abnormal or anomalous secondary growth in plants. It defines secondary growth as an increase in plant girth due to vascular cambium or cork cambium. Anomalous secondary growth does not follow the normal pattern of a single vascular cambium producing xylem internally and phloem externally.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
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.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

https://www.etran.rs/2024/en/home-english/Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
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.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...
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.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
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.
