ABOUT THE BOOK
This book is designed to take students both in secondary schools and advanced level through thorough treatment of the behavior of gases. Almost all the concepts involving gases have been treated with a lot of illustrations and worked examples. Chapter one introduces us to the states of matter, phase transition, pressure of gas, temperature and its measurement, density of gas while chapter two discussed in detail the gas laws, their derivations, ideal gas equation and universal gas constant. Chapter three treats kinetic molecular theory of gases, real gas and ideal gas, deviation of real gases from ideality, distribution of molecular speed of gases and intermolecular forces. Finally, chapter fours, five, six and seven and eight hammered on mole concept, gas in chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium and work of expansion and compression of gas and chemical kinetics.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard 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.
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.

Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.
Diseases: Examples include Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and mitochondrial myopathy.
Slide 4: Chloroplast Inheritance
Chloroplasts: Organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants.
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in chloroplasts.
Inheritance Pattern: Often maternally inherited in most plants, but can vary in some species.
Examples: Variegation in plants, where leaf color patterns are determined by chloroplast DNA.
Slide 5: Plasmid Inheritance
Plasmids: Small, circular DNA molecules found in bacteria and some eukaryotes.
Features: Can carry antibiotic resistance genes and can be transferred between cells through processes like conjugation.
Significance: Important in biotechnology for gene cloning and genetic engineering.
Slide 6: Mechanisms of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Non-Mendelian Patterns: Do not follow Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
Cytoplasmic Segregation: During cell division, organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are randomly distributed to daughter cells.
Heteroplasmy: Presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell, leading to variation in expression.
Slide 7: Examples of Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Four O’clock Plant (Mirabilis jalapa): Shows variegated leaves due to different cpDNA in leaf cells.
Petite Mutants in Yeast: Result from mutations in mitochondrial DNA affecting respiration.
Slide 8: Importance of Extrachromosomal Inheritance

5. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and
occupies space/ has some volume.
Everything is made up of matter. The
characteristics of matter are: Made up of particles –
atoms, molecules or ions
Particles are in constant motion
Has a mass
Has a volume
EAXMPLES: Air, water, glass, cement, chair, table
and everything around us is made up of matter.
6. All type of matter is made up of tiny bits called
particles. It is just like a wall made of bricks.
Different arrngemnet, spacing and the movement of
particles makes three different states of matter.
The differnece in properties of states of matter arise
due to ;
Particles arrangement: regular or irregular
Spacing: close/touching each other or far from
each other
Movement: resticted movement/vibrations, sliding
past each other, freely moving in random directions
7.
8. Note that:
Particles in a:
› gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
› liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
› solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
› gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
› liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
› solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place
to place.

12. Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of
high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their
particles move randomly from place to place.
What causes diffusion?
In gases and liquids, particles move randomly from place
to place. The particles collide with each other or with their
container. This makes them change direction. Eventually,
the particles are spread through the whole container.
Diffusion happens on its own, without stirring, shaking or
wafting.

15. Brownian Movement in chemistry is said to
be the random zig-zag/randommotion of a
particle that is usually observed under high
power ultra-microscope. This movement
resembles the exact motion of pollen grains
in water as explained by Robert Brown,
hence, the name Brownian movement.
16. State changes
Substances can exist as a solid, liquid or gas.
Converting from one state to another usually
involves heating or cooling.
Heat must be supplied to a substance for it to
melt, evaporate or boil. For example, you need
to heat ice to melt it, and you need to heat
water to make steam.
Heat must be removed from a substance to
condense or freeze it. In other words, the
substance must be cooled down.
17. The kinetic particle theory explains the
properties of the different states of matter. The
particles in solids, liquids and gases have
different amounts of energy. They are arranged
differently and move in different ways.
The table below summarises the arrangement
and movement of the particles in solids, liquids
and gases, and shows simple diagrams for the
arrangement of the particles.
