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.
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.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard 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 use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
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).

A COLLECTION OF CATHOLIC ENTOMOLOGISTS
FROM THE CATHOLIC LABORATORY (FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER
@CATHOLICLAB)
2. AGOSTINO BASSI
(1773-1856)
Preceded Louis Pasteur in the
discovery the microorganisms can
be the cause of disease.
Discovered muscardine disease
of silkworms was caused by a
parasitic organism, named
Bavaria bassiana in his honour.
In 1953 the Italian post office
issued a stamp on the 180th
anniversary of his birth.
He is known as the ‘Father of
insect pathology’
3. PIERRE ANDRÉ LATREILLE
(1762-1833)
Trained as a Catholic priest, but
imprisoned during the French
Revolution. Regained his freedom when
he discovered a rare beetle species,
Necrobia ruficollis, in the prison.
Worked on arthropod systematics and
taxonomy, gaining his many accolades
including a volume on arthropods in
Cuvier’s ‘The animal kingdom’.
Many books were dedicated to him, and
up to 163 species are named in his
honour.
Described by one of his pupils as ‘the
prince of entomologists”.
4. JEAN HENRI FABRE
(1823-1915)
A popular teacher of physics, chemistry and
biology, but best known for his work in
entomology.
Known as the “Father of modern
entomology”.
He influenced later writings of Charles
Darwin, who called Fabre an ‘inimitable
observer’.
Fabre remained sceptical of Darwin’s theory
of evolution because he always held back
from all theories and systems.
He wrote many books on insects in a
biographical form, combining his passion for
scientific truth and a colloquial style.
In 1956, the French post office issued a
stamp in his honour.
5. HENRI MOUHOT
(1826-1861)
Travelled through Europe studying
photography, and then devoting himself
to the study of natural sciences,
specialising in ornithology and
conchyliology.
He traveled to Bankock and made 4
journeys to SIam, Cambodia and Loas.
He popularised Ankor Wat in the West,
which led to interest in studying and
preserving the site.
He collected many specimens of
insects, and discovered a new species
later named Mouhotia gloriosa in his
honour.
6. JOHN DZIERZON
(1811-1906)
Pioneering apiarist who discovered the
phenomenon of parthenogenesis in
bees and designed the first successful
moveable-frame beehive.
Discovered the mechanism of secretion
of royal jelly and its role on the
development queen bees.
Ordained a Catholic priest, but was
excommunicated owing to
disagreements on papal infallibility. He
was later reconciled to the Church.
Published over 800 articles on bees.
Known as the “Founder of Modern Bee
Keeping”.
7. ERIC WASMANN
(1859-1931)
Jesuit priest who specialised in ants and
termites.
He described the phenomenon known as
‘Wasmannian mimicry’, where the mimic
resembles it's host (the model) in order to
live within the same nest or structure.
Supported evolution, but challenged
natural selection, the evolution of humans
from other animals, and universal common
descent.
He wrote over 700 papers, identified over
900 new species of ant, and received
many honours for his contributions to
entomology.
Known affectionately as the “ant father”.
8. THOMAS BORGMEIER
(1892-1975)
Franciscan priest whose interest in entomology
grew from studying ants, discovering phorid
flies attacking and parasitising them.
Became adjunct research scientist in the
National Museum of Rio de Janeiro, later
moving on to become head of the entomological
section of the Institito de Biologia Vegetal in the
Botanical Gardens.
Founded the international journal Revisita de
Entomologia, and commenced a series of
monographs that became Studia Entomologica.
Published over 240 papers in entomology and
related subjects.
Described more than 1,000 species of phorid
flies and 100 species of ants, and a number of
myrmecophilous beetles.
9. KARL KEHRLE
(1898-1996)
Also known as ‘Brother Adam’, a
Benedictine monk, beekeeper and
developer of the ‘Buckfast bee’.
Established a bee mating station on
Dartmoor, allowing desired selective
crossings.
Undertook research travels across
Europe and Africa for species to
incorporate into the Buckfast stock.
Became International Bee Research
Association (IBRA) vice-president, and
is awarded an OBE in the Queen’s
Birthday Honours List
