Mitochondria are cytoplasmic organelles found in eukaryotic cells that generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy. They contain a double membrane, with the inner membrane folded into cristae that contain enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria also contain their own circular DNA and ribosomes. They are thought to have originated from symbiotic bacteria and play a key role in cellular respiration by harnessing energy from the oxidation of pyruvate and fatty acids to produce ATP.

BRIEF IDEA ABOUT CELL STRUCTURE, CELL ORGANELLES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS, COMPARTMENTALIZATION INSIDE CELL
The cell membrane regulates the movement of materials into and out of cells through passive and active transport mechanisms. Passive transport, including simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion, moves molecules down their concentration gradients without requiring energy. Active transport uses transmembrane proteins like ion pumps and transporters to move molecules against their gradients, requiring energy in the form of ATP. Large molecules and particles are transported into and out of cells through endocytosis and exocytosis. The fluid mosaic model describes the structure of the cell membrane as a phospholipid bilayer with integral and peripheral membrane proteins that allow it to perform its functions of protection, selective permeability, and transport.
Eukaryotic Cell Structure and Function.pptxEzekielGreen2
Eukaryotic cells are larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells. They contain membrane-bound organelles and have a cytoskeleton that provides structure and aids transport. Key organelles include the nucleus, which houses genetic material, and mitochondria, which generate energy. The endomembrane system includes the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, and facilitates protein transport and modification. Other structures are chloroplasts for photosynthesis and cilia or flagella for motility. Eukaryotic cells have a more complex organization than prokaryotes and can perform more specialized processes and functions.
Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic cells and are known as the powerhouses of the cell.

The cell cycle is regulated by checkpoints that determine when a cell commits to crucial events like DNA replication or cell division. Passage through different cell cycle stages requires transient activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) by specific cyclins. Cdks are activated by Cdk-activating kinase (CAK) and deactivated by Wee1 kinase and Cdc25 phosphatase to control progression through the cell cycle checkpoints at G1/S and G2/M.
DNA replication is the process by which a parent DNA molecule makes two identical daughter DNA molecules. It is semi-conservative, meaning the parent DNA strands separate and each serves as a template for a new complementary daughter strand. Meselson and Stahl's experiment provided evidence for this semi-conservative model of replication. They grew E. coli in medium containing a heavy isotope of nitrogen, then switched to light nitrogen medium. After multiple generations, they found DNA bands corresponding to hybrid heavy-light DNA strands, supporting the semi-conservative model. DNA replication requires dNTPs, DNA polymerase and other enzymes, primers, and separation of the parental strands by helicase.
This document provides information about the process of photosynthesis. It begins with definitions of key terms and outlines the main pigments involved - chlorophyll, carotenoids, and phycobilins. It then describes the two main stages of photosynthesis: the light reaction, where light is absorbed to produce ATP and NADPH in the thylakoid membranes; and the dark reaction, also called the Calvin cycle, where CO2 is fixed into carbohydrates using ATP and NADPH. The document also discusses alternative pathways such as C4 and CAM cycles that prevent photorespiration.
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF BACTERIAshow.ppsxDrSandhya16
Bacteria play both harmful and useful roles economically. Harmful activities include causing plant diseases through toxins, spoiling food through growth and waste production, and contaminating water sources. Useful activities involve increasing soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, ammonification, and nitrification; various industrial applications like dairy production, biofuel production, and vinegar making; controlling pollution; and important roles in medicine like antibiotic production and modern biotechnology.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
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.

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.

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.
hematic appreciation test is a psychological assessment tool used to measure an individual's appreciation and understanding of specific themes or topics. This test helps to evaluate an individual's ability to connect different ideas and concepts within a given theme, as well as their overall comprehension and interpretation skills. The results of the test can provide valuable insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, creativity, and critical thinking skills
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
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.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
ESA/ACT Science Coffee: Diego Blas - Gravitational wave detection with orbita...Advanced-Concepts-Team
Presentation in the Science Coffee of the Advanced Concepts Team of the European Space Agency on the 07.06.2024.
Speaker: Diego Blas (IFAE/ICREA)
Title: Gravitational wave detection with orbital motion of Moon and artificial
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe some recent ideas to find gravitational waves from supermassive black holes or of primordial origin by studying their secular effect on the orbital motion of the Moon or satellites that are laser ranged.
5. MITOCHONDRIA- A Semi-Autonomous
Organelle
• Synthesize proteins- DNA & Ribosome
• DNA-
• Double stranded, circular
• More than one copy may be present
• Replication- under nuclear control
• Compared to nuclear DNA- mt DNA has
• More GC pairs
• Shorter
• Circular
• Devoid of histones

14. HEAT PRODUCTION
• Glucose- oxidized- energy- a part of it
is lost as heat to regulate body
temperature in warm blooded animals
• In hibernating species- brown fat (high
conc. of mitochondria)- important in
temperature regulation
• Mitochondria in brown fat catalyzes
electron transport but are less efficient
at producing ATP
