Dyeing poison dart frog
The dying poison dart frog is a slender, black frog with golden stripes and blue legs and feet. It lives in forests in Amazonia and the Guyanas. It eats ants and termites, and secretes toxic alkaloids from its skin that serve as a defense against predators and come in bright warning colors. The female lays small clutches of 2-10 eggs on leaves or the ground, and the tadpoles develop on the backs of the parents before metamorphosing over 8-12 weeks. While poisonous, these frogs are not currently threatened in the wild, though some species are vulnerable. Their toxins are also being studied for potential medical applications.
Lepidoptera
The order Lepidoptera refers to moths and butterflies. Their name comes from Greek words meaning "scale" and "wing" due to the tiny scales covering their wings. Lepidoptera undergo a complete life cycle from egg to caterpillar to pupa and finally adult. As caterpillars, they eat plants and trees, but as adults they feed on nectar from flowers. Butterflies are distinguished from moths by their clubbed antennas and wing posture at rest. These insects play an important role in pollination but can also damage crops as caterpillars.

A Simple Review of Opossums
The opossum is a marsupial mammal that is well-adapted to survive harsh winters in North America despite originating from warmer climates. It has developed behaviors like playing dead to evade predators and grows only a thin layer of fat instead of a winter coat. Opossum mothers give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into her pouch to nurse and develop further. Though slow-moving, the opossum's prehensile tail and ability to climb trees aids its survival against threats on land.

Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Deep Software Variability and Frictionless ReproducibilityUniversity of Rennes, INSA Rennes, Inria/IRISA, CNRS
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.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
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.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
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.

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.

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.

Some amazing primates
- 2. Proboscis Monkey SCIENTIFIC NAME: Nasalis larvatus Habitat: Indonesia male proboscis monkeys use their fleshy, pendulous noses to attract mates. Scientists think these outsize organs create an echo chamber that amplifies the monkey’s call, impressing females and intimidating rival males.
- 3. Red Shanked Douc Scientific Name: Pygathrix nemaeus Habitat: Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia Red-shanked Douc Langur also called ‘five colored Macaque’ is a brightly coloured old-world monkey, with distinctive reddish brown legs, and a vibrant yellow- orange face. They have long white tails with a distinguishing white triangle of fur around the base.
- 4. Mandrill SCIENTIFIC NAME: Mandrillus sphinx Habitat- Africa Mandrills are the largest of all monkeys. Mandrills are extremely colorful, perhaps more so than any other mammal. They are easily identifiable by the blue and red skin on their faces and their brightly hued rumps. These distinctive colors become brighter when the animal is excited.
- 5. Golden Snub Nosed Monkey Scientific name: Rhinopithecus roxellana Habitat: China The primate can withstand extremely cold temperatures, where no other non-human primates can survive. It has a unique nose that has no protruding nasal bones, giving the species its name. Though some biologists believe it helps them in avoiding frostbites, the exact reason for this unique feature is still unknown.
- 6. Crested Black Macaque Scientific name: Macaca nigra Habitat: Sulawesi and Palau bacan islands of Indonesia Named for the narrow crest of hair that runs along the top of the head from behind the overhanging brow. It has an "apelike" appearance due to its almost non-existent, non- visible, vestigial tail stub of only approximately 2 cm
- 7. Squirrel Monkey Scientific name: Saimiri Habitat: Amazon basin Female squirrel monkeys have pseuopenises which they use to display dominance over smaller monkeys, in much the same way that the male squirrel monkeys display their dominance.
- 8. Spider Monkey SCIENTIFIC NAME: Ateles Habitat: Central and South America They have long, lanky arms and prehensile (gripping) tails that enable them to move gracefully from branch to branch and tree to tree. These nimble monkeys spend most of their time aloft, and maintain a powerful grip on branches even though they have no thumbs.
- 9. Bald Uakari SCIENTIFIC NAME: Cacajao calvus Habitat: South America They have striking bald heads and bright red faces. (They may be attractive to mates because malarial or sick animals develop pale faces.)
- 10. De Brazza’s Monkey Scientific Name: Cercopithecus neglectus Habitat: Central Africa This monkey is named for Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, an Italian explorer,founded a city that is named for him: Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo. A white stripe runs down its thigh, and an orange crescent-shaped marking appears on its forehead. Its white eyelids match its muzzle and beard. Due to this distinctive appearance, the monkey is sometimes referred to as the "Ayatollah Monkey".
- 11. François’s Langur Scientific Name: Trachypithecus francoisi Habitat: China, Vietenam These distinctive primates have black fur with white streaks of hair running from their mouths to their ears. They also have a tuft of hair on top of their head. However, infants are born with orange fur which gradually changes to adult coloration as they mature.
- 12. Pygmy Marmoset Scientific Name: Cebuella pygmaea Habitat: Columbia, Brazil, Equador They are known as the Pocket Monkey, Little Lion, and the Dwarf Monkey. They are the smallest of all the Monkeys, and one of the very small primates in the world.
- 13. Emperor tamarin Scientific name: Saguinus imperator Habitat: South America It is thought the tamarin was named for the resemblance of its mustache to that of Germany’s Emperor Wilhelm II.
- 14. Howler Monkey SCIENTIFIC NAME: Alouatta Habitat: Central and South America. They are aptly named for their cacophonous cries. When a number of howlers let loose their lungs in concert, the din can be heard up to three miles away. Male monkeys have large throats and specialized, shell-like vocal chambers that help to turn up the volume on their distinctive call. The noise sends a clear message to other monkeys: This territory is already occupied by a troop.
- 15. Capuchin monkey Scientific Name: Cebus capucinus Habitat: Latin America Capuchins are considered the most intelligent New World monkeys re named for their “caps” of hair, which resemble the cowls of capuchin monks. These monkeys are round-headed and stockily built, with fully haired prehensile tails and opposable thumbs.
