Solar energy was once thought too inefficient to be a dependable source of renewable energy, but that is changing thanks to improvements in technology.
Electricity generation infrastructure planning in the Age of Climate ChangeSteve Aplin
Carbon emissions from electric power generation are skyrocketing, including and especially in countries that have received praise for their support of renewable energy.
Meanwhile, countries with very low carbon emissions from power generation are generally ignored in policy circles and in the media. But, as energy and environment expert Steve Aplin demonstrates, these low-carbon countries have achieved spectacular environmental success without hurting their economies.
Aplin argues that these low-carbon countries should be the model for all developing countries that are expanding their power generation infrastructure.

Wharton Business School Case study; Here Comes the Sun: ESG and Dirty Solar Supply
Chains, Kelly Currie & Keith Krach
There has been explosive growth in environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment. There is also a growing consciousness that unfettered investment in China’s economy has serious consequences for America’s economic and national security. It is increasingly clear that ESG investment in Chinese entities are in serious conflict, and nowhere is this conflict more evident than the supply chain for solar panels. Investors, consumers, and voters rightly want “clean” supply chains with clean labor practices for clean energy, but the ESG investment industry has failed to deliver them. Instead, as ESG investment has increased, the supply chain for solar panels has become deeply entangled in the ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs .
Clean Capital Markets Playbook
To address this massive issue, Krach and his team determined that the Clean Capital Markets Strategy necessitated a multi-faceted campaign involving Wall Street, major corporations, civil society, American universities, and consumers. When it came to ESG, this strategy presented one of the most comprehensive models for addressing the inconsistent application of ESG standards—not just on solar, but every industry under the sun. Clean Capital Markets Strategy consisted of four prongs: (1) calling out the CCP’s egregious behavior; (2) unveiling China’s financial ruses; (3) championing investors; (4) taking action.
“Clean Capital Markets”
Rather than replicating the convoluted EU regulatory approach that likely will serve as a brake on innovation and investment, U.S. policymakers should look to the Clean Capital Markets approach. Instead of controversial and complicated new disclosure schemes, policymakers should focus on targeted, achievable goals. As part of his broad push to protect the average American investor from unknowingly financing the CCP’s malign intentions, Krach developed the multi-pronged Clean Capital Markets Playbook to address the distortions that have arisen under the current system. The playbook’s targeted, common-sense recommendations may also have the added benefit of leveling the playing field for companies that play by the rules, do not benefit from slave labor or have the backing of a predatory party-state .
In April 2022, as the co-chair of the Global Tech Security Commission, Krach pens an article in Fortune “Present your China contingency plan at the next board meeting.”
Boards increasingly understand doing business with, in, or for China represents tremendous risk. The world saw the Ukrainian attack coming. The free world has come to learn that, just like Putin, General Secretary Xi is not to be trusted.
You can’t afford to get caught off guard on this one. So, prepare now. When that moment comes, and you’re not ready, it will already be too late. When the dreaded becomes inevitable, you need to develop a plan and execute on it.

Solar Energy Essay
The most vital way to take care of our lives is to take the responsibility of our own energy foot print.
Renewable energy plays an important role in the supply of energy. When renewable energy sources are used, the demand for fossil fuels is reduced. Unlike fossil fuels, non-biomass renewable sources of energy (photovoltaics, wind, hydropower, and geothermal) do not directly emit greenhouse gases.
Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as : sunlight, wind, tides, and geothermal heat which are renewable (naturally replenished).
The use of renewable energy is not new. More than 150 years ago wood, which is one form of biomass, supplied up to 90 percent of the energy needs. e.
Now over half of renewable energy goes to producing electricity.

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.

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.
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.
