Open communities of innovation pioneers: the Musigen case studyGiuseppe Naccarato
We call innovation pioneers the experts in a scientific or technical domain in the early stages
of its development. Advances in information technologies allow networks of organizations
and individuals to exchange ideas and knowledge. Not differently from what has happened in
communities of consumers with the emergence of the so called prosumers, ICT can support
communities of innovation pioneers.
However, the role of IT in this domain has not been studied extensively in the management
literature. Understanding the dynamics of communities of innovation pioneers, instead, can
provide companies with precious knowledge on future breakthrough innovations.
This paper means to deepen our understanding of communities of innovation pioneers and the
role of IT in supporting them.
To achieve this goal, we investigate the case of Musigen, a new web platform with the
purpose to support knowledge sharing in the generative music field.

Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
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 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.
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).

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
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.

New Perspectives on Materials Science and Innovation in Brazil.
1. João A. H. da Jornada- IF-UFRGS
New Perspectives on Materials
Science and Innovation in Brazil
SBPMAT- Memorial Lecture- September 10, 2017
2. Main Perspective- Justification
• Modern society is increasingly demanding efficiency,
effective social impact, and transparency in the use
of public money
• Science uses a sizable amount of public funds
• Science is expected to contribute strongly to
innovation- a well recognized factor for generating
wealth and public good
• A detailed connection between science, particularly
basic research, and innovation is far from clear- a
deeper understanding of the problem is frequently
lacking
5. The easy problem
• Demonstrate a general correlation between
science and social well-being
The difficult problem
• How to reap the benefits from the investments in
science- who gets the benefits? Capacity to
absorb useful knowledge and appropriate the
results
Important needs
• Deeper understanding of the complex
mechanism relating science and innovation
• Better narratives and practices for engaging key
social players
6. Concerns of the modern Society with
the proper justification- a few examples
12. Concern of the US National Science and
Technology Council:
“A gap exists between R&D activities and the
deployment of technological innovations in
domestic production of goods,” contributing
significantly, for example, to the growing trade
deficit in high-value-added, advanced technology
products.

14. A significant problem we are facing in Brazil:
Ranked 64th in
Global Innovation
Index against 13th
in scientific
production;
World's 7th largest
economy but
ranked 30th in
manufactures
exports.
Source: WIPO and Scopus
15. How to deal with the situation
• Better understanding of the key concepts and the
contexts involved
• Better understanding of the mechanisms
• Better dialogue by means of better narratives and
practices
16. Oslo Manual (3rd edition, 2005)
“An innovation is the
implementation of a new or
significantly improved product
(good or service), or process, a
new marketing method, or a new
organizational method in business
practices, workplace organization
or external relations.”
Innovation – a wide range concept
17. Schumpeter’s 5 types of innovations:
(focus on the entrepreneur)
1.The introduction of a new method of production;
2.The opening of a new market;
3.The conquest of a new source of supply of raw materials
of half manufactured goods;
4.The carrying out of the new organization.
McCraw, T.K., Prophet of innovation: Joseph Schumpeter and creative destruction,
Cambridge, Mass.: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2007
18. Important concepts beyond the simplistic
“Linear Model”
• Absorption and Appropriation Capacity
• Accessibility to a “Pool of Knowledge”, and
ability to combine different types of knowledge
• Networking, Cooperation and Connectedness
• Flow and management of Tacit Knowledge
• Innovative ecosystem- Qualified people and
Culture
19. M. Gulbrandsen, in W. Østreng (ed.), Confluence. Interdisciplinary
Communications (2009)

32. The Importance of Materials Science for
Innovation
• Culture, practices and tacit knowledge involved
are very related to innovation:
• Interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity
• Networking, Cooperation and Connectedness
• The thematic space- new and improved
materials, as well as deep understanding of
properties, are great enabler of innovation
33. Materials Science and Innovation
UNESCO Science Report (2015):
“…the next waves of high technologies are
expected to emanate from [disciplines that include]
molecular biology, biotechnology and
pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, material
sciences and chemistry, in intimate synergy with
information and communication technologies.
These disciplines are rooted in the basic research
laboratories of universities”
34. “The significant problems we face today
cannot be solved at the same level of
thinking at which they were created.”
- Albert Einstein
A final reflection
