Generation X Woodline, My Presentation (Eva Zwahlen)evazwa
Eva Zwahlen developed a patented environmental method called Generation xWoodline to create beautiful interior wood products from sustainable wood. She formed a company called Dorotea Design Plant to produce these products using her method. The method raises the value of forests by adding design and branding, which incentivizes investing in growing forests. This helps reduce deforestation in the long run by creating demand for sustainably sourced wood products. Dorotea Design Plant uses Generation xWoodline to increase sustainable forest values.

This document outlines 10 essential reforms needed to improve New York's financial situation. It discusses capping property tax increases and state spending, ending the double standard of higher pay for public employees, and trimming Medicaid costs. The state's Medicaid program is the most expensive in the nation at $47.6 billion annually despite serving fewer people than California or Florida. Immediate action is needed from state leaders to control costs and ease New York's heavy tax burden in order to stop the flow of jobs and residents to other states.
The document discusses several problems related to media and the environment:
1. Extracting raw materials for electronics like metals and minerals causes environmental damage through mining practices.
2. Manufacturing electronics requires large amounts of toxic chemicals and produces hazardous waste. Semiconductor plants alone use 27 pounds of chemicals per chip batch.
3. High consumption of servers and electronics contributes significantly to energy usage, representing about 3% of total US electricity.
4. Improper recycling of electronic waste, or e-waste, dumps toxic materials in developing nations and pollutes the environment when burned or discarded.
a short talk about media technology and media artSean Cubitt
This document discusses various works of art and technology throughout history from Christian Marclay's film The Clock to Rosa Menkman's video work Collapse of PAL. It provides examples of early technologies like the Lumiere brothers' autochrome from 1903 and Belin's teleosterograph from 1920. It also showcases more modern digital art like Jennifer Steinkamp's interactive installation Aria and Susan Collins' digital paintings. The document serves as an overview of the intersection of art and technology over time.
The women's suffrage movement fought to gain women the right to vote, which they lacked during colonial times when only adult male property owners could vote. As more women became educated and involved in reform movements in the early 19th century, they and their supporters called suffragists began questioning why women could not also vote. Though some men harassed and intimidated suffragists, the women continued their struggle and achieved the right to vote with the 19th amendment in 1920.
The document discusses key concepts in digital cinema including:
1) How cathode ray tube screens work through scan lines and frame rates. Color management involves chromaticity diagrams and different devices' color gamuts. Codecs allow compression for YouTube and DVD playback.
2) Film concepts like layers, grading, and sprites translate to digital as do perspective, projection, and vectors in 3D rendering. Plato's allegory of the cave illustrates prisoners chained and unable to see beyond images projected on the wall before them.
This document summarizes the recommendations from a European Union research project that analyzed best practices in urban logistics from around the world. The key recommendations include: focusing on changing behaviors more than implementing single solutions; learning from other cities' projects and experiences; involving small and medium businesses; and stimulating sustainability, innovation and good examples. It also recommends facilitating urban logistics by providing legal and financial guidelines, and prioritizing initiatives that improve traffic flow in a cleaner way.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

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.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
