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.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard 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.
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.

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.
2. What is Forensic Science?
• …the application of
science to those
criminal and civil laws
that are enforced by
police agencies in a
criminal justice system.
3. Definition of Forensic
Dental
Forensic dental, or forensic odontology, is
the application of dental and paradental
knowledge to the solution of legal issues in
civil and in criminal matters.
This field is very important in identifying
human remains that are decomposed,
mutilated, or visually unrecognizable.
4. The THEORY behind forensic
dentistry is that no two mouths
are alike (even identical twins are
different), and that teeth, like
tools, leave recognizable marks.
5. During the U.S. Revolutionary War in 1775 , none other
than Paul Revere (a young dentist) helped identify war
casualties by their bridgework.
History
Teeth are highly resistant to destruction and
decomposition, so dental identification can be made
under extreme circumstances.(1600ºC)
It was used on Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun at the end
of World War II, the New York City World Trade
Center bombing, the Waco siege, and numerous
airplane crashes and natural disasters.
6. An Understanding of Teeth
• Teeth begin to appear at 6 months of age
and all should have emerged by age 3.
• Humans have 20 deciduous (baby) teeth.
• Between the ages of 7-21 years all of the
deciduous teeth should have been replaced
with permanent teeth.
• Adults have 32 permanent teeth. This
includes the four wisdom teeth.
• Teeth are the hardest substance in the body.
7. Teeth Basics
• Approximately 32 teeth
in adult mouth
• Four types of teeth:
– Molars
– Premolars
– Canine
– Incisors
• Teeth differ in:
– Size
– Shape
– Root type
Types of teeth
8. Identification using Teeth
The forensic dentist compares antemortem (before
death) records with postmortem (after death) findings
to determine if there is a positive match.
Unusual features including the number and types of
teeth and fillings, the spacing of the teeth, and/or special
dental work (bridges, false teeth, root canals, cavities,
tooth pattern , crown, and general dental health neglect).
9. Age Estimation
In living individuals, anthropologic age
determinants other than wrist
radiographs are not possible, so dental
age estimation can be valuable.
In deceased individuals there may be
no skeletal evidence other than dental
structures or teeth to make an age
estimation.
11. There are two main purposes for forensic identification
of humans: suspect identification and victim
identification.
For suspect identification, evidence such as
fingerprints or blood samples are collected at crime
scenes. Based on this evidence, the guilt or innocence
of the suspects can be confirmed.
12. Victim identification can be achieved by matching
antemortem (AM) and postmortem (PM)
• circumstantial evidence :includes a victim's
clothing, jewelry, and pocket contents. circumstantial
evidence can easily be attributed to the wrong person,
particu-larly when there are many victims to be
identifed.
• Physical evidence :is more reliable, and includes
external evidence, internal evidence, genetic
evidence, and dental evidence.
13. • The forensic dentist produces a postmortem record by
carefully charting and writing descriptions of the dental
structures and radiographs.
• Once the postmortem record is complete, a comparison between
the two records can be carried out.
• Similarities and discrepancies are noted during the comparison
process , There are two types of discrepancies :
• explainable :normally relate to the time elapsed between the
antemortem and postmortem records, e.g., teeth extracted .
• Unexplainable :for example a tooth is not present on the
antemortem record but is present on the postmortem record.
17. There are three common types of dental
radiographs (dental X-rays):
• periapical X-rays : show the entire tooth, including
the crown, root, and the bone surrounding the root.
• bitewing X-rays : are taken during most routine
dental check-ups and are useful for revealing cavities
in the teeth.
• Panoramic X-rays :give a broad overview of the
entire dentition (the development of teeth and their
arrangement in the mouth).
18. Three types of dental radiograph series. (a) Full mouth series;
(b) bitew-ing series; (c) panoramic series.
19.
20. 1. Compared to traditional radiographs, only half the
dosage of radiation is needed for obtaining a dental
radiograph of comparable quality .
2. Digital dental radiographs do not require time for
film development.
3. Dentists can take another image instantly if the
acquired image is not good enough.
4. Digital radiographs are easier to store and process .
5. Environmently friendly.
21. • An individual's dental record includes information
about the number of teeth present, the orientation of
those teeth, and dental restorations. Each dental
restoration is unique because it is designed specifically
for that particular tooth. An individual's dentition is
defined by a combination of all these characteristics,
and can be used to distinguish one individual from
another.
• The information about dentition is represented in the
form of dental codes and dental radiographs.
• Forensic identification of humans based on dental
information requires the availability of antemortem
dental records.
23. Challenges
• One challenge to future efforts in forensic identification
based on dental codes is the decline in the number of
dental restorations, which is attributed to increased
awareness of healthy dental habits.
• Changes in the dentition over time, such as tooth eruption
and loss, the sliding of neighboring teeth after a tooth is
extracted. These changes cause inconsistent appearances
of teeth in AM and PM radiographs from the same
individual.
• Changes in the imaging angle result in complex
deformations.
24. Changes in the imaging angle result in significant deformations in the
appearances of corresponding teeth in AM (a) and PM (b)
25. Summary
• Dental radiographs contain valuable information to
identify victims when other biometric traits are not
available. For example, in the terrorist attack on Sept. 11,
2001, many victims were identifiable only from pieces of
jaw bones. Dentists were asked to help in identifying the
victims using dental records and about 20% of the 973
victims identified in the first year after the 9/11 attack
were identified using dental records .
• Victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami were also identified
based on dental information: 75% of the tsunami victims
in Thailand were identified using dental records.
