These changes are a result of variations in temperature and pressure, and they play a crucial role in understanding the behavior of substances under different conditions. The primary phase changes include melting, freezing, evaporation, condensation, sublimation, and deposition.
Melting (or Fusion):
Definition: Melting is the process where a solid substance transforms into a liquid state.
Energy Changes: Heat is absorbed during melting, as energy is needed to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the solid together.
Freezing (or Solidification):
Definition: Freezing is the reverse of melting, involving the transition from a liquid to a solid state.
Energy Changes: Heat is released during freezing, as the substance loses energy to form a more ordered, solid structure.
Evaporation (or Vaporization):
Definition: Evaporation is the conversion of a liquid into a gas, usually occurring at the liquid's surface.
Energy Changes: Heat is absorbed during evaporation, and the molecules gain energy to overcome intermolecular forces and enter the gaseous phase.
Condensation:
Definition: Condensation is the process where a gas changes into a liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation.
Energy Changes: Heat is released during condensation, as the gas molecules lose energy and come closer together to form a liquid.
Sublimation:
Definition: Sublimation is the direct transition of a substance from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase.
Energy Changes: Heat is absorbed during sublimation, as the solid gains enough energy to break intermolecular forces and become a gas.
Deposition:
Definition: Deposition is the direct transition from the gas to the solid phase without passing through the liquid phase, the reverse of sublimation.
Energy Changes: Heat is released during deposition, as the gas molecules lose energy and form a solid structure.
Understanding phase changes is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications. For example, in chemical reactions, controlling temperature and pressure allows scientists to manipulate phase changes for desired outcomes. Additionally, the study of phase changes is essential in fields like thermodynamics, material science, and environmental science, contributing to advancements in technology and our understanding of natural processes. Phase changes in chemistry are fundamental transformations that occur in the physical state of matter. These changes are driven by variations in temperature and pressure and involve the conversion of a substance from one phase to another, such as from a solid to a liquid or from a liquid to a gas. Here are some key points about phase changes in chemistry:
Energy Transfer:
Phase changes involve the transfer of energy. For example, during melting or evaporation, energy is absorbed to overcome intermolecular forces, while freezing or condensation releases energy as molecules come together.

Phase changes involve the transfer of energy. For example, during melting or evaporation, energy is absorbed to overcome intermolecular forces, while freezing or condensation releases energy as molecules come together.
When energy is absorbed as heat by a solid or liquid, the temperature of the object does not necessarily rise.
The thermal energy may cause the mass to change from one phase, or state, to another.
The amount of energy per unit mass that must be transferred as heat when a mass undergoes a phase change is called the heat of transformation, L.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
