There is nothing plain about Plain Language. It's a misnomer, like 'plain yogurt,' which is bold, punchy, and quite unforgettable! Plain was chosen to contrast with convoluted, obscure, and verbose prose. It really should have been "Simple and Stylish," because blah language does not get you anywhere either! The truth is, the struggle for clear communication is not new. Writers, scientists, and thinkers have been at it for thousands of years. Science, technology, social relations, commerce... well, life brings about change. And with it language needs change. Purists often miss the memo and hang on to obsolete language. Alas, the biggest obstacle to clear communication does not come from obstinate writers but from ignorant ones.

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.
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.
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.

Independence
2014
The
issue
of
what
currency
an
independent
Scotland
would
use
has
become
the
key
ba[leground
of
the
referendum
debate.
The
ScoZsh
government
is
in
favour
of
a
sterling
zone,
saying
it
would
be
in
the
interests
of
both
Scotland
and
the
UK
to
con.nue
to
formally
share
the
pound
if
the
former
votes
for
independence,
ensuring
stability
for
both
states.
UK
chancellor
George
Osborne
has
said
the
UK
would
not
enter
into
a
currency
union
with
Scotland
if
it
voted
'Yes'
in
September's
referendum,
claiming
such
a
union
would
be
against
the
economic
interests
of
England,
Wales
and
Northern
Ireland.
Mr
Osborne's
statement
was
the
UK
government's
strongest
interven.on
in
the
debate
yet,
and
his
posi.on
was
supported
by
both
Labour
and
the
Liberal
Democrats.
First
Minister
Alex
Salmond
countered
Mr
Osborne's
claims
in
a
speech
to
pro-‐independence
business
leaders
in
Aberdeen
on
Monday,
which
he
said
had
"deconstructed"
the
case
against
a
currency
union.
So
what
are
Mr
Osborne's
key
arguments
and
how
has
Mr
Salmond
sought
to
counter
them?
Claim:
Trade
with
Scotland
is
important
to
the
UK,
but
the
overall
propor;on
is
small
George
Osborne:
"I'm
the
first
to
say
that
our
deeply
integrated
businesses
and
their
suppliers
are
compelling
reasons
for
keeping
the
UK
together
-‐
70%
of
ScoZsh
trade
is
with
the
rest
of
the
UK.
That
is
a
massive
propor.on.
"And
trade
with
Scotland
is
important
to
the
rest
of
the
UK
-‐
but
at
only
10%
of
the
total
trade,
it
is
a
much
smaller
propor.on.
These
trade
figures
don't
make
the
unanswerable
case
for
a
shared
currency
that
the
ScoZsh
government
assume."
Alex
Salmond:
"I
am
publishing
an
es.mate
of
the
transac.ons
costs
he
would
poten.ally
impose
on
businesses
in
the
rest
of
the
UK.
They
run
to
many
hundreds
of
millions
of
pounds.
My
submission
is
that
this
charge
-‐
let
us
call
it
the
George
tax
-‐
would
be
impossible
to
sell
to
English
business.
"In
fact
if
you
remove
oil
and
gas
from
the
equa.on,
Scotland
is
one
of
the
very
few
countries
in
the
world
with
which
England
has
a
balance
of
trade
surplus."

• How
do

two

are/are
not
the
same?
• How
do
we
know
what
argument
to
a[ach
a
proposi.on
to?
• Addressing
these
ques.ons
may
require
some
deep
syntac.c
and
seman.c
analysis
(hint,
I
think
it
does
and
can
be
done....eventually).
• BUT

• An
argument
is
an
ordered
pair
ψ,
α;
ψ
is
a
subset
of
a
given
KB
and
α
is
an
atomic
proposi.on
from
the
KB;
ψ
is
a
minimal
set
of
formulae
such
that
ψ
implies
α,
and
ψ
does
not
imply
a
contradic.on.
ψ
is
said
to
support
the
claim
α.
• Where
p
and
q
are
atoms,
and
where
the
KB
is
comprised
of
p
and
p→q,
then
{p,
p→q},
q
is
an
argument.
• We
could
have
a
KB
from
which
we
can
form
an
argument
which
supports
¬q,
{p,
p→¬q},
¬q.
In
addi.on
and
with
respect
to
this
argument,
suppose
we
can
form
an
undercuer
{r,
r→¬p},
¬p
and
a
rebual
{r,
r→¬p,
¬p→q},
q}.
• KBs
(even
rela.vely
small
ones)
generate
lots
of
arguments
and
a[ack
rela.onships
which
can
be
structured
in
a
tree.
