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.
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.
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.
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.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
2. Introduction
• Polymeric micelles are formed from self-aggregation of
amphiphilic block / graft co-polymers with the hydrophobic
part of the polymer on the inside (core) and hydrophilic on the
outside (shell).
• In drug delivery, PM are classified under the “Nano carriers”.
• A polymeric micelle usually consists of several hundred block
copolymers and has a diameter of about 20-50 nm
3. • Self-assembled supramolecular core-shell structure.
• Core is a dense region consisting of the hydrophobic
part of the amphiphilic polymer.
• Core serves as a reservoir for drugs with low aqueous
solubility.
• Shell consisting hydrophilic portion of the co-polymer.
• the morphology of micelles is the hydrophilic–
hydrophobic balance of the block copolymer defined
by the hydrophilic volume fraction, f.( f>45% form
PM)
4. Mechanism of Micellization
• Amphiphilic block or graft copolymers behave in the same
manner as that of conventional amphiphiles and in aqueous
solution, above CMC, it forms PM.
• CMC (critical micelle concentration) it is the minimum
concentration required by amphiphilic molecule to start
micellization .
• CMT( critical micelle temperature) The temperature below
which amphiphilic molecules exist as unimers and above
which as aggregates.
• Aggregation number is the number of molecules present at
CMC.
• They form spherical structure in order to reduce the free
energy of system.
5. TypesofPolymericMicelle
On the basis of the type of intermolecular forces governing
the segregation of the core segment from the aqueous
Environment, those formed by ;
1. Hydrophobic interaction – these are Conventional micelles
2. Electrostatic interaction – these are Polyion complex micelle
3. Metal complexation – these are Noncovalently Connected
Polymeric Micelles .
6. Preparation of Polymeric micelle
• For moderately hydrophobic copolymers
• Copolymer + drug in water, above CMC lead
to formation of micelle.
Direct
Dissolution
method
• Amphipile which are not readily soluble in
water. Common solvent is used for both drug
and copolymer and solvent is removed by any
of suitable method.
• Dialysis method
• Evaporation method
• Freeze drying method
• Formation of o/w emulsion
Indirect
dissolution
method
7. Factors influencing formation of
Polymeric Micelle
1. Chain length-
Directly affects micelle formation. If the hydrophobic chain is
too long – copolymers form non-micellar structure. Increase
in the hydrophilic chain length will increases critical micelles
concentration (CMC).
2. Cross linking-
Increase in cross linking leads to generation of stable bonds.
Micelles resist shear force and dilution because of
permeable cross linked surface, thus increasing the stability
of the micelles.
8. 3. Molecular weight- With increasing molecular weight, the
level of intermolecular forces in the structure increases thus
the micelles display superior properties.
4. Polymer structure - Linear polymer more stable thus they
easily form micelles. more branching of the monomer will
decrease polymerization and leads to instability in micelles.
9. Types of Polymer used
1. Block co-Polymer (di, tri, or tetra).
2. Graft Polymer – contain polymer chain as a backbone and
another polymer chain as side ''grafted'' parts.
10. Characterisation of micelle
• Determination of CMC:
Different methods can be used for determination of CMC , most
common are surface tensiometry and fluorescent probe
Techniques.
Other methods are ; osmotometry, chromatography, small angle
neutron scattering (SANS), small angle X-ray scattering.
11. • Surface tension measurement-
increase in polymer concentration decreases surface tension.
After CMC additional drug goes into micelles where free
polymer concentration is essentially constant.
CMC is the point at which ST become essentially
independent of the concentration .
Hence CMC given as concentration at which ST stops
decreasing .
• Size and Shape Determination
Fall into colloidal size range
• Scanning electron microscopy .
• transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
• recently developed cryo-TEM
• small angle neutron scattering.
12. • Polydispersity index (PDI) determination
PDI indicates the degree of the dispersity of the prepared
polymer micelles. obtained by examining the micellar
solution with quasi-elastic light scattering technique.
• In vitro Drug Release Behavior
It can be studied by placing PM in Dialysis bag.
Dialysis bag is kept into medium at constant temperature
Amount of drug release is determined by taking aliquots
• Lowe Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) or Cloud
Point
Temperature above which PM starts precipitating and
form turbid solution.
13. Stabilityof PolymericMicelle
• Defined in two terms , Thermodynamic stability and Kinetic Stability.
• Polymeric micelles are said to be thermodynamically stable when
the polymer concentration in water is above their CMC.
• upon intravenous injection, polymeric micelles are subject to
extreme dilution therefor CMC should be sufficiently low remain
stable during circulation.
• Kinetic Stability :
• it reflects the rate at which a physically entrapped drug is released
from the micellar carrier.
• Stability more because bulky core forming blocks hinder rotation of
the molecule
• Slow dissociation therefore more concentration reaches the target
site
14. Advantages of PolymericMicelle
• PM helps to increase the solubility of the original drug thus
increasing the biocompatibility.
• The hydrophilic shell and the nanoscopic size prevent
mechanical clearance.
• Various functional groups can be incorporated by physical
entrapment or chemical conjugation.
• High kinetic stability helps to maintain the integrity
• It having high drug-loading capacity of the inner core.
• It can be used for receptor-mediated drug delivery system.
• suitable for intravenously administered drug delivery systems.
15. Disadvantages
• The industrial growth of polymeric micelles is hindered
by high cost of preparation and the difficulty in drug
loading.
• Extreme dilutions by blood upon intravenous injections
of micellar solution, polymeric micelles are prone to
deformation and disassembly which may lead to leakage
and burst release of loaded drugs.
• Drugs or copolymers prone to hydrolytic cleavage in
aqueous systems i.e.stability problems.
16. Application
• Delivery of anticancer agent to treat tumor.
• Stimuli responsive nanocarriers for drug and gene delivery.
• Immunomicelles, another means of targeting, which are prepared by
covalently attaching monoclonal antibody molecules to a surfactant or
polymeric micelles demonstrate high binding specificity and target
ability.
• In ocular drug delivery.
• In oral drug delivery
• Gene Delivery.

show highest cytotoxicity than pH insensitive control
HA-octadecylamine (HOA) micelle and free DOX.
• Micelles are rapidly disassembled because of pH-triggered
hydrolysis of OD.
19. Method :

hydrophobic moiety to the hydrophilic main chain of HA, and then
HOD conjugates were self-assembled into micelles in aqueous
condition.

132nm and PDI 0.193.
• Encapsulation efficiency was found to be 94% with drug loading
15.8%.
• Mechanism of micelle uptake is coveolae-mediated endocytosis.
(A) Self-assembly processes of the pH-sensitive DOX/HOD micelles;
(B) the intracellular uptake of DOX/HOD micelles into tumor cells via CD44
