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.

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.

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.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

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.
2. Introduction
• The potential of the human ear for personal
identification was recognized and advocated as long
ago as 1890 by the French criminologist Alphonse
Bertillon.
• Ear biometrics has received scant attention compared
to the more popular techniques of face, eye, or
fingerprint recognition.
• ears have played a significant role in forensic science
for many years, especially in the United States, where
an ear classifcation system based on manual
measurementswas developed by Iannarelli, and has
been in use for more than 40 years.
3. advantages
• have a rich and stable structure that changes
little with age.
• The ear does not suffer from changes in facial
expression.
• is firmly fixed in the middle of the side of the
head so that the immediate background is
more predictable than is the case for face
recognition which usually requires the face to
be captured against a controlled background.
4. advantages
• unlikely to cause anxiety as may happen with
iris and retina measurements. The ear is large
compared with the iris, retina, and fingerprint
and therefore is more easily captured at a
distance.
5. Anatomy of the ear.
• Helix : the outer rim.
• inner helix or antihelix:which
runs roughly parallel to the outer
helix but forks into two branches.
• Concha:The inner helix and the
lower of these two branches
forms the top and left side.
• intertragic notch:bottom of the
concha merges into the very
distinctive which due to its very
sharp bend at the bottom
• the crus of helix where the helix
intersects with the lower branch
of the antihelix.
• antitragus or the little bump on
the left of the intertragic notch.
• ear canal or acoustic.
6. • Examples of the human
ear shape. Notice that
helices, concha,
intertragic notch are
present in all the
examples, but that some
ears have so called
attached
• lobes, where the lobes
are poorly formed or are
almost non-existent.
7. Approaches to Ear Biometrics
1- Iannarelli and Forensic Ears:
• Alfred Iannarelli developed a system of ear
classification used by American law enforcement
agencies. 1949 He developed the Iannarelli
System of Ear Identification his system essentially
consists of taking a number measurements
around the ear by placing a transparent compass
with 8 spokes at equal 45 intervals over an
enlarged photograph of the ear.
8. •The first part of registration is
achieved by ensuring that a
reference line touches the crus of
helix at the top and touches the
innermost point on the tragus at
the bottom.
•the second step of registration
are accomplished by adjusting the
enlargement mechanism until a
second reference line exactly
spans the concha from top to
bottom.
9. Approaches to Ear Biometrics
2-Burge and Burger Proof of Concept:
• were the first to investigate the human ear as a biometric in the
context of machine vision.
• Each subject's ear was modeled as an adjacency graph built from
the Voronoi diagram of its Canny extracted curve segments.
• They devised a novel graph matching algorithm for authentication
which takes into account the erroneous curve segments which can
occur in the ear image due to changes such as lighting, shadowing,
and occlusion .
• They found that the features are robust and could be reliably
extracted from a distance.
• They identified the problem of occlusion by hair as a major obstacle
and proposed the use of thermal imagery to overcome this
obstacle.
10.
11. Approaches to Ear Biometrics
3 - Principal Components Analysis (PCA)
• Principal Components Analysis, closely related to
Singular Value Decomposition, has been one of
the most popular approaches to ear recognition.
• images can be looked upon as vectors, and any
picture can be constructed as a summation of
elementary picture-vectors
• PCA can process these vectors to achieve image
compression, and how this in turn can be used
for biometrics
12. Approaches to Ear Biometrics
4- Force Field Transform:
• Hurley et al. have developed an invertible linear transform
which transforms an ear image into a force field by
pretending that pixels have a mutual attraction
proportional to their intensities and inversely to the square
of the distance between them rather like Newton's
Universal Law of Gravitation
• there is an associated energy field which in the case of an
ear takes the form of a smooth surface with a number of
peaks joined by ridges .
• Two distinct methods of extracting these features are
offered. The first method depicted Figure 7.9 (left) is
algorithmic, where test pixels seeded
13. Figure 7.9
Force and convergence fields for an ear. The force field for an ear (left)
and its corresponding convergence field (centre). The force direction
field (right)
14. • around the perimeter of the force field are
allowed to follow the force direction
• joining together here and there to form
channels which terminate in potential wells
15. • The second method depicted in Figure 7.9
(centre) is analytical,and results from an
analysis of the mechanism of the first method
leading to a scalar function based on the
divergence of the force direction.
16. Approaches to Ear Biometrics
5 -Three Dimensional Ear Biometrics
Yan and Bowyer ICP Approach
• use a Minolta VIVID 910 range scanner to capture both
depth and colour information. The device uses a laser
to scan the ear, and depth is automatically calculated
using triangulation.
• They have developed a fully automatic ear biometric
system using ICP based 3D shape matching for
recognition, and using both 2D appearance and 3D
depth data for automatic ear extraction which not only
extracts the ear image but also separates it from hair
and earrings.
17. • Ear extraction uses a multistage process which
uses both 2D and 3D data and curvature
estimation to detect the ear pit which is then
used to initialize an elliptical active contour to
locate the ear outline and crop the 3D ear
data
18. • Ear pit detection includes:
• (i) geometric prepossessing to locate the nose
tip to act as the hub of a sector which includes
the ear with a high degree of confidence.
• (ii) skin detection to isolate the face and ear
region from the hair and clothes.
• (iii) surface curvature estimation to detect the
pit regions depicted in black in the image.
• (iv) surface segmentation and classification.
19.
20. Chen and Bhanu Local Surface Patch Approach
• have also tackled 3D ear biometrics using a Minolta
range scanner as the basis of a complete 3D
recognition system on a dataset of 52 subjects
consisting of two images per subject. The ears are
detected using template matching of edge clusters
against an ear model based on the helix and antihelix,
and then a number of feature points are extracted
based on local surface shape. A signature called a
“Local Surface Patch" based on local curvature is
computed for each feature point and is used in
combination with ICP to achieve a recognition rate of
90.4%
21. Approaches to Ear Biometrics
6 -Acoustic Ear Recognition:
• Akkermans have exploited the acoustic properties of the ear for
recognition. It turns out that the ear by virtue of its special shape
behaves like a filter so that a sound signal played into the ear is
returned in a modified form.
• This acoustic transfer function forms the basis of the acoustic ear
signature An obvious commercial use is that a small microphone
might be incorporated into the earpiece of a mobile phone to
receive the reflected sound signal and the existing loudspeaker
could be used to generate the test signal.
• Akkermans et al. measure the impulse response of the ear by
sending a noise signal with a spectrum into the pinna and ear canal
and measuring the response
