The document discusses several theories of the origin of the solar system. The earliest theories proposed that collisions or condensations from a gas cloud led to the formation of the sun and planets. The currently accepted theory is the nebular hypothesis, which suggests that the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust, with material condensing and flattening into a disk that broke into planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. The document also outlines several other older theories, such as the planets and moons forming from material ejected from the sun or collisions between celestial bodies.
Evolution of universe - Geochemistry & ThermodynamicsPramoda Raj
The document summarizes the evolution of the universe. It discusses the origin and formation of the universe according to the Big Bang theory. The universe began as a very hot and dense state around 13.8 billion years ago, which then expanded and cooled to form stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. The document also describes the components that make up the universe such as galaxies, stars, and black holes. It discusses the chemical composition and forces that govern the motion of objects in the universe.
Scientific theories start as hypotheses that are tested through multiple experiments. The Big Bang Theory emerged from hypotheses proposed by Einstein and Lemaitre, and experiments in the early 20th century provided evidence for an expanding universe. Edwin Hubble's observations of galaxies moving away from Earth supported the idea that the universe began as a single point and has expanded over billions of years. More recent experiments have detected gravitational waves and other signals that provide direct evidence confirming predictions of the Big Bang Theory.
The document discusses the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang theory. It describes the Big Bang theory as the most accepted explanation for the origin and early development of the universe. It states that before the Big Bang, there was nothing - no time, no matter. After the Big Bang, the universe began rapidly expanding from an extremely dense and hot state. As it expanded, the early universe progressed through different eras from radiation to the formation of atoms, galaxies, and stars. The expansion of the universe continues today.
This document provides an overview of theories on the origin of the universe and the solar system. It begins by defining important terms like dark matter, dark energy, and theories. It then discusses creation myths from different cultures and the biblical creation story in Genesis. The majority of the document focuses on explaining the Big Bang Theory, including the inflation epoch, events after the Big Bang like formation of the basic elements, and evidence that supports it like galaxy redshifts and the cosmic microwave background. It also briefly outlines other theories like the steady state theory, string theory, and M-theory. The second half summarizes theories of solar system formation like the nebula hypothesis and compares terrestrial and Jovian planets.
The Steady State Theory proposed that the universe has no beginning or end in time and appears the same from any point. It suggests new stars are continually created to replace those that have died, maintaining a steady state. The theory was proposed as an alternative to the Big Bang Theory. However, evidence emerged in the 1960s that contradicted Steady State Theory, including more distant radio sources in the early universe, discovery of quasars only in the early universe, and detection of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is difficult to explain under Steady State Theory. The theory has since been discarded.
The document discusses the origin and evolution of the universe, Earth, and life over billions of years according to scientific theories. It describes how the universe began with the Big Bang around 14 billion years ago, then galaxies, stars, and planetary systems formed. Around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed from accretion in our solar system. Early life emerged around 3.8 billion years ago, evolving into complex organisms over time. The document provides timelines of these cosmic and biological events from the birth of the universe to the present.
This document describes the evolution of cosmological models throughout history from ancient Earth-centered models to the current Big Bang model. It discusses how each new model was developed in response to new observations that could not be explained by existing models, from Copernicus developing the Sun-centered model to resolve issues with planetary retrograde motion to Hubble establishing the expanding universe model based on the observation of redshift in galaxies. The document also outlines how new discoveries like dark matter and dark energy have led to refinements of the Big Bang model but not a rejection of the overall framework. It emphasizes that science advances through an ongoing process of testing predictions made by models against observations.

Cosmology is the study of the universe, including its structure, origin and evolution. There have been three major revolutions in cosmological theories: 1) Ptolemy's 2nd century Earth-centered model, 2) Copernicus' 16th century Sun-centered model, and 3) Hubble's 20th century Big Bang model of an expanding universe. The Big Bang model is supported by observational evidence including the cosmic microwave background radiation, abundance of light elements, and accelerating expansion of the universe driven by dark energy. While well-established, the Big Bang model continues to be refined as new discoveries are made about dark matter and the nature of the early universe.
The document discusses different theories about the origin and creation of the universe throughout history. It begins with what the ancient Greeks believed, which was that the Earth was the center of the universe. It then explains the modern Big Bang theory, which suggests the universe began roughly 13.7 billion years ago from an infinitely dense, hot explosion. The document considers what the universe might be like if the Greek view was correct and the Earth was at the center, concluding that the Big Bang theory currently provides the most accurate explanation.
grade 11 Chapter 1 Origin of the Universe knip xin
The document discusses theories about the origin of the universe. It begins by explaining the widely accepted Big Bang theory - that approximately 13.7 billion years ago, all the energy and matter in the universe was compressed into a hot, dense state, and then exploded, expanding and cooling to form the current universe. It then briefly describes some alternative theories, including the creationist theory of a divine creator, the oscillating universe theory of repeated expansion and collapse cycles, and the steady state theory that the universe has always been the same. The document provides examples of galaxies and defines key terms like universe and cosmos.
The document summarizes the origin and fate of the universe according to modern cosmological theories. It describes the hot big bang model and how inflation theory addresses some of its unanswered questions. Inflation posits that the early universe underwent rapid exponential expansion driven by a high-energy phase transition. This explains the large-scale uniformity of the cosmos. Current models still debate between the standard inflationary big bang model and the cyclic Steinhardt–Turok model. The search continues for a unified field theory incorporating quantum mechanics and general relativity.
The document summarizes the history and development of the Big Bang theory. It describes how discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown that the universe started approximately 13.8 billion years ago from an infinitely dense and hot singularity. It then explains the three phases of the early universe and some of the scientists like Einstein, Friedman, Hubble, and Lemaître who contributed to establishing the theory. Finally, it discusses some evidence that supports the Big Bang theory like the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation and some continuing problems and areas of research.
The Big Bang theory proposes that the universe began as an extremely hot and dense singularity around 13.75 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. It is supported by evidence such as Hubble's Law that galaxies are moving away from us and the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation, which is leftover radiation from the early universe. Some criticisms of the theory are that it does not fully explain the formation of structures like galaxies. The theory also depends on assumptions about the universality of physical laws and the cosmological principle.
Scientists have developed the Big Bang model to explain how the universe originated and evolved over time. According to this model, around 10-20 billion years ago all matter existed in an incredibly hot and dense state and then expanded and cooled, slowly condensing into stars, galaxies, and eventually planets like Earth. Evidence for the Big Bang model includes the increasing distances between galaxies and the discovery of cosmic background radiation from the early universe.
A Theoretical Perception of Gravity from the Quantum to the RelativityDR.P.S.JAGADEESH KUMAR
This document summarizes theories of gravity from classical mechanics to modern physics. It discusses Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation, which described gravity as a force between objects. Later, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity argued that gravity is caused by the curvature of spacetime due to uneven mass distributions. The document also notes open questions in quantum gravity and efforts to develop a unified theory reconciling general relativity and quantum mechanics.
The document provides information about the Steady State Theory and compares it to the Big Bang Theory. It discusses that the Steady State Theory proposes that the universe has always existed and is essentially the same at any point in time, with new matter constantly being created. In contrast, the Big Bang Theory suggests the universe began from an initial hot, dense state and has been expanding ever since. The document outlines similarities and differences between the two theories, such as their explanations for the cosmic microwave background. It also discusses evidence that emerged in the 1960s that contradicted the Steady State Theory, like observations of more radio sources in the early universe and the discovery of quasars.
The document discusses two theories of the formation of the universe:
1) The Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe was created 13.7 billion years ago by an enormous explosion that caused the contents of the universe to be compressed under extreme pressure and density. As time passed, the universe continued expanding and cooling.
2) An alternative theory that proposes the universe was formed from the collapse of a gaseous nebula. As the nebula collapsed under pressure, it flattened and fragments broke off to form the sun and other masses, which eventually became the universe through gravitational pull.
The document discusses several theories about the beginning and potential ends of the universe:
1) The Big Bang theory describes how the universe began as an infinitely dense singularity that expanded rapidly around 15 billion years ago to create galaxies and stars.
2) String Theory proposes that the universe is made up of vibrating one-dimensional strings that give objects their properties. It aims to describe quantum gravity and become a "Theory of Everything."
3) The potential ends of the universe include the Big Crunch where gravity pulls all matter back into a singularity, or heat death where the universe expands forever and reaches absolute zero temperature.
This is a self-made presentation about The Big Bang Theory (NOT the TV show :P) to be given to a lecturer and students of University level. Intended for all those to download who may have presentations to give and can't find a good enough topic :). Everyone else is free to download it for other purposes as well!!
The document discusses the origins and early development of the universe according to cosmological theories like the Big Bang theory. It states that the universe began as a very hot and dense ball of matter over 13 billion years ago. As the universe expanded and cooled over hundreds of thousands of years, the basic building blocks of atoms like protons, neutrons and other subatomic particles formed from vibrating strings as proposed by string theory. These simple elements eventually combined to form the first atoms in the growing universe.
The document discusses the origins and evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the formation of galaxies and planetary systems like our solar system. It began as a singularity around 13.8 billion years ago which rapidly expanded in the first moments. Over time, it continued expanding and cooling, allowing forces and particles to form. Evidence for the Big Bang theory includes the cosmic microwave background radiation and observation that the universe is still expanding today. The formation of our solar system began with a supernova explosion that scattered debris into a nebula which eventually collapsed under gravity to form the sun and planets.
The document discusses the evolution of cosmological models throughout history from ancient times to modern day. It describes three major revolutions in cosmology: 1) the Ptolemaic Earth-centered model from the 2nd century, 2) the Copernican Sun-centered model in the 16th century, and 3) the modern Big Bang model of the 20th century. The Big Bang model is supported by evidence like the cosmic microwave background radiation and the composition of the universe being mostly hydrogen and helium. New discoveries of dark matter and dark energy have led to refinements of the Big Bang model.
The document discusses theories about the origins of the universe, including the steady state, oscillating model, and big bang theory. It describes how the big bang theory proposes that the universe began as one dense mass that violently exploded, sending out matter and energy which over time formed stars and galaxies. It also explains how the observation of redshift shows that galaxies are moving further apart from each other as the universe expands.
Studying the origins of the Universe and exploring it helps us build our civilization. Exploring how our civilization came into existence has evolved our ability of thinking and understanding our surrounding and also the universe in a better way. Our curiosity to get the answer to every query in relation to the origin and existence of universe has helped us to discover and build better technology that we so ungratefully enjoy in all walks of life. Humans have managed to advance in every field of technology, medicines, energy and telecommunication.
The document summarizes the Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe began as a singularity around 13.8 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. It describes the early development and timeline of the universe from the initial singularity through inflation, baryogenesis, and cooling. The theory is supported by evidence like the cosmic microwave background radiation and Hubble's law of universal expansion. The future of the universe is uncertain but may involve continued expansion, eventual contraction, or a flat, stable state.
The universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old and contains countless galaxies, many with supermassive black holes at their centers. The Milky Way galaxy is the one that contains our solar system. According to the leading Big Bang theory, the universe began as an extremely hot and dense singularity which expanded rapidly approximately 13 billion years ago, resulting in the formation of hydrogen and helium from the cooling nuclear matter. Evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang model includes the redshift of distant galaxies and the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation.

It describes the leading theories for the formation of the universe as the Big Bang theory and inflationary theory, which propose that the universe began in an extremely hot and dense state around 13.8 billion years ago and rapidly expanded.
2. For the origin of the solar system, the most widely accepted is the nebular hypothesis, which suggests that the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust around 4.6 billion years ago that flattened into a disk and planets formed from accretion of planetesimals within the disk.
3. Alternative theories proposed include the encounter hypothesis of a close star passing and stripping material,
The Big Bang model postulates that the universe began as a hot dense state around 13.8 billion years ago and has since expanded and cooled. It is supported by two theoretical pillars: general relativity, which describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, and the cosmological principle that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on large scales. The model accounts for the cosmic microwave background radiation and expansion of the universe, but is incomplete as it does not explain structure formation or the universe's uniformity on the largest scales.

This document discusses theories of the formation of the universe and solar system according to Earth science. It describes the Big Bang theory, which proposes that the universe began from an explosion of dense matter around 13.8 billion years ago, as supported by evidence from cosmic microwave background radiation. It also discusses the cosmic inflation theory of rapid early expansion, and the steady state theory of a constantly expanding universe without a beginning. Regarding solar system formation, it outlines the nebular hypothesis of planets forming from a rotating gas disk around the young Sun, and the planetesimal and tidal theories involving accumulation of small planetary bodies.
Gravity is the force that attracts all matter to each other. It causes planets, stars, and galaxies to form and influences the motion of objects in space. Isaac Newton first proposed that gravity depends on the masses of objects and the distance between them. Later, Einstein's theory of general relativity explained that gravity is caused by the curvature of spacetime due to the uneven distribution of mass. Tests have supported Einstein's theory, such as observations of gravitational lensing and gravitational waves. Gravity plays a key role in the formation and evolution of astronomical objects throughout the universe.
The document summarizes the 10 key steps in the generally accepted theory of the formation and evolution of the universe according to the Big Bang theory:
1) The universe began as an incredibly hot, dense point that rapidly expanded in an event known as the Big Bang.
2) The universe underwent a period of rapid exponential expansion known as inflation shortly after the Big Bang.
3) Light chemical elements like hydrogen and helium formed in the first few minutes as the universe cooled and expanded.
4) After about 380,000 years, the universe cooled enough for light to shine through for the first time.
5) The first stars and galaxies emerged from the "cosmic dark ages" over the
This document discusses the field of geology. It defines geology as the study of the Earth, including its physical and chemical properties from its creation to present day. The main branches of geology are described as crystallography, mineralogy, petrology, paleontology, and stratigraphy. The layers of the Earth are also summarized, including the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. Finally, several hypotheses for the origin of the Earth are outlined, such as the nebular hypothesis, planetesimal hypothesis, gaseous tidal hypothesis, and gas dust cloud hypothesis.
Bigbang Nucleosynthesis and evidences of big bang theory.pptxangelicagagbo26
The Big Bang theory proposes that the universe began as an extremely hot and dense singularity about 13.7 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. During the first moments, elementary particles formed as the universe cooled and expanded. Over millions of years, simple atoms formed and later combined to create the first stars and galaxies. Evidence for the Big Bang includes the expansion of the universe, the cosmic microwave background radiation, and the relative abundances of light elements.
The document discusses the origin and evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the present day. It describes how the universe began in a hot, dense state and has been expanding and cooling ever since. As it expanded, the first atomic nuclei formed via nuclear fusion. Over time, these atoms gathered together through gravity to form structures like galaxies, stars, and planets. The document also examines different astronomical objects like nebulae, quasars, and black holes that can be observed in the universe.
The document summarizes the origin of the universe and the solar system. It discusses the Big Bang theory and other theories such as inflation theory and M-theory. It also discusses early theories on the origin of the solar system such as Descartes' vortex theory and the Kant-Laplace nebular hypothesis. Additionally, it provides details on properties of the current solar system, including classifications of planets and components such as asteroids and comets.
This article aims to present the origin and evolution of Universe, Sun and Earth as well as alternative solutions for the survival of humanity with the end of Earth planet, Sun and Universe.
This document discusses comets, meteors, asteroids, and the moon. It provides details on their composition, sizes, orbits, and the potential effects of large impacts. A large comet impact would likely only injure humans, while the largest meteor ever could endanger humanity. The largest known asteroid impact 65 million years ago caused the extinction of dinosaurs. A second moon would result in bigger tides and more frequent solar eclipses.
All astronomical bodies originate inside clouds of gas and dust, therefore there should be a common process that leads to
their condensation. In a galactic cloud there is always a gradient of speeds from point to point. Thanks to it, vortices originate
that rake the material of the surrounding cloud gradually forming large gaseous disks, inside which vortices of second order
develop that concentrate the matter of their orbits forming smaller and much denser disks, within which third order vortices
further concentrate the matter. The dense cores of these vortices finally condense in massive bodies: sun, planets and satellites.
The result should be a well ordered planetary system with no “debris” around and where both planets and satellites obey to
a precise rule of the distances from their central body. The solar system complies with these conditions with three main
exceptions. First, in an orbit where a large planet should be there is only a huge number of scattered asteroids. Second, Earth
and its moon with all evidence were not formed in the same vortex, which means that Moon originated somewhere else. Third,
Neptune’s satellite system has been shattered by the intrusion of a foreign body, Triton, and its largest satellites are missing.
These exceptions seem to be strictly connected to each other and all due to a unique event, that is: Triton has diverted the
largest Neptune satellite towards the Sun. This satellite impacted at high speed against the missing planet, scattering myriads
of fragments from its mantle and pushing it towards the sun, where it eventually fell. The planet had at least 4 satellites some
of which remained in their previous orbit, but two of them were dragged towards the sun and were captured by Earth. The
largest became its lonely moon while the second fell on its surface giving origin to the continents. This event happened about
3,96 billion of years ago, as it is proven by the ages of the numerous samples brought from the moon
The document discusses the International Space Station (ISS). It is the largest structure humans have put into space, flying at an average altitude of 248 miles above Earth. It circles the globe every 90 minutes at a speed of about 17,500 mph. The ISS serves as a laboratory for new technologies and an observation platform for research, as a permanently occupied outpost in outer space.
The document provides an overview of Earth and life science topics including:
1) The Big Bang theory describes the origin and evolution of the universe from the earliest known periods to its current large-scale structure, with the Big Bang occurring approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
2) After the initial expansion of the universe, matter condensed into stars and galaxies, and atoms later formed, allowing life to develop on planets.
3) Our solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago from a cloud of gas and dust, with the sun at its center and planets, moons, asteroids and other bodies in orbit around it.
Historical Development of Theories on regards to the Origin of the Universe a...MarkNicholzSimporios
The document discusses several theories on the origin of the universe and the solar system. The leading theory on the origin of the universe is the Big Bang Theory, which proposes that the universe began as a singularity that expanded over billions of years. Alternative theories included the Steady State theory and the Pulsating Universe theory. Regarding the origin of the solar system, early theories included the Vortex theory and Nebular Hypothesis. Later, Laplace expanded on the Nebular Hypothesis in his Nebular Theory. Additional theories examined the chemical composition of meteorites and proposed models like the Solar Nebular Disk Model.
1. James Hutton established the theory of uniformitarianism, which states that the geological forces shaping Earth today are the same as in the past. He is considered the founder of modern geology.
2. Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution through natural selection, which explained how species change over time in response to their environment.
3. Andrija Mohorovicic discovered the boundary between Earth's crust and mantle, known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity or "Moho".
4. Beno Gutenberg studied earthquakes and discovered that their waves can be used to investigate Earth's internal structure
The document provides an overview of the universe and some of its key components:
1. The universe originated from the Big Bang around 13.7 billion years ago and has been expanding and cooling ever since.
2. Galaxies form the basic building blocks of the universe and come in three main types: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Our galaxy is the Milky Way galaxy.
3. Stars are born in nebulae and come in different colors, temperatures, and magnitudes depending on their stage of life. When stars die, they may become black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs.
1) Asteroids are rocky bodies too small to be called planets that orbit the sun, with many located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids pass close to Earth and are called Near-Earth Objects.
2) The sun is a hot ball of gas at the center of the solar system that provides the energy and heat for life on Earth. It is one of billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
3) Supernovas occur when massive stars explode at the end of their life cycles, around once every 50 years in a galaxy the size of the Milky Way. Less massive stars like the sun will swell into red giants before collapsing into white dwarfs instead of exploding.
This document provides a summary of key concepts in astronomy, including the universe, galaxies, stars, planets in our solar system, and important historical astronomers like Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Galileo. It describes how stars are born from nebulae and die, as well as concepts like nuclear fusion, main sequence, and how our sun will eventually die. Important terms are defined like nebulae, constellations, blue giants, and red dwarfs. Historical figures that advanced our understanding of astronomy are also summarized.

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.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

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.

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.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
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 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).
2. Introduction
This will talk about the summary of the theories of how the universe was created. It will discuss the basic
knowledge about the origins of the universe and how each theory explains how the universe was created.
These are the theories that explain how the universe was created:
3. Fission theory
This theory suggests that early in the Earth's development, the spin
of the Earth was so great that a chunk of Earth flew off. This piece
went into orbit around the Earth, becoming the Moon as we know it.
The fission theory is not supported by fossil evidence here on Earth. If
the Earth had really been spinning fast enough to eject a piece of
itself into space, there would be evidence of this in the geological
record of Earth. Also, this theory doesn't explain the baked surface of
the Moon.
4. Planetary collission theory
In 1898, George Darwin made the suggestion that the Earth and Moon were once a single body.
Darwin's hypothesis was that a molten Moon had been spun from the Earth because of centrifugal
forces, and this became the dominant academic explanation.
Using Newtonian mechanics, he calculated that the Moon had orbited much more closely in the past
and was drifting away from the Earth.
Darwin's calculations could not resolve the mechanics required to trace the Moon backward to the
surface of the Earth.
In 1946, Reginald Aldworth Daly of Harvard University challenged Darwin's explanation, adjusting it to
postulate that the creation of the Moon was caused by an impact rather than centrifugal forces.
A similar approach was taken by Canadian astronomer Alastair G. W. Cameron and American
astronomer William R. Ward, who suggested that the Moon was formed by the tangential impact upon
Earth of a body the size of Mars.
Most of the collisional material sent into orbit would consist of silicates, leaving the coalescing Moon
deficient in iron.
5. Gas Cloud theory
Giant gas clouds in the early universe could have powered the most energetic eruptions
since the big bang.One theory suggests huge gas clouds around at the time collapsed into
middleweight "Seed" black holes. The clouds are so massive that they begin to contract
under their own weight, eventually becoming dense enough to trigger nuclear reactions.
These provide an outward pressure that counteracts the clouds' collapse.
If a giant gas cloud had at least 10 per cent of the sun's proportion of these elements,
they would set off enough reactions to overwhelm gravity's inward pull.
If the cloud contained fewer heavy elements providing outward pressure, gravity would
win out and the cloud would collapse into a seed black hole.
6. Stellar collission theory
A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital
decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well
understood.
Astronomers predict that events of this type occur in the globular clusters of our galaxy about once every 10,000 years.
On 2 September 2008 scientists first observed a stellar merger in Scorpius, though it was not known to be the result of
a stellar merger at the time.
A series of stellar collisions in a dense cluster over a short period of time can lead to an intermediate-mass black hole
via "Runaway stellar collisions".
Any stars in the universe can collide, whether they are 'alive', meaning fusion is still active in the star, or 'dead', with
fusion no longer taking place.
White dwarf stars, neutron stars, black holes, main sequence stars, giant stars, and supergiants are very different in
type, mass, temperature, and radius, and so react differently.
A gravitational wave event that occurred on 25 August 2017, GW170817, was reported on 16 October 2017 to be
associated with the merger of two neutron stars in a distant galaxy, the first such merger to be observed via
gravitational radiation.
7. Big bang theory
The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began.
At its simplest, it says the universe as we know it started with a small singularity, then inflated over the
next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today. Because current instruments don't allow
astronomers to peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory
comes from mathematical formulas and models. While the majority of the astronomical community
accepts the theory, there are some theorists who have alternative explanations besides the Big Bang - such
as eternal inflation or an oscillating universe.
The first second, and the birth of light In the first second after the universe began, the surrounding
temperature was about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit, according to NASA. The cosmos contained a vast
array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons.
"The free electrons would have caused light to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in
clouds," NASA stated.
This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.
8. Divine theory
Divine Command Theory is the view that morality is somehow dependent upon God, and that moral
obligation consists in obedience to God's commands.
Divine Command Theory includes the claim that morality is ultimately based on the commands or
character of God, and that the morally right action is the one that God commands or requires.
The specific content of these divine commands varies according to the particular religion and the particular
views of the individual divine command theorist, but all versions of the theory hold in common the claim
that morality and moral obligations ultimately depend on God..
9. Nebular theory
This theory best accounts for the objects we currently find in the Solar System and the distribution of
these objects. The nebula started to collapse and condense; this collapsing process continued for some
time. The Sun-to-be collected most of the mass in the nebula's center, forming a Protostar.
A protostar is an object in which no nuclear fusion has occurred, unlike a star that is undergoing nuclear
fusion. A protostar becomes a star when nuclear fusion begins.
Most likely the next step was that the nebula flattened into a disk called the Protoplanetary Disk ;
planets eventually formed from and in this disk.
Three processes occurred with the nebular collapse:
• Temperatures continued to increase
• The solar nebula spun faster and faster
• The solar nebula disk flattened
The orderly motions of the solar system today are a direct result of the solar system's beginnings in a
spinning, flattened cloud of gas and dust.
