A chemical reaction occurs when substances break apart or combine to form new substances with different chemical properties. A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction using chemical symbols and formulas, with reactants written before an arrow and products written after. It is important that chemical equations are balanced to obey the law of conservation of mass, which states the total mass is the same for reactants and products.
Interactive textbook ch. 13 chemical bondingtiffanysci
Ionic bonds form when valence electrons are transferred from metal atoms to nonmetal atoms, resulting in positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions that are attracted to each other. Metal atoms easily lose electrons to achieve stable full outer energy levels, while nonmetal atoms gain electrons for the same reason. The ions associate in repeating three-dimensional crystal lattices to form solid ionic compounds that are brittle with high melting points and often dissolve in water.

Interactive textbook ch. 10 heat and heat technologytiffanysci
Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles that make up a substance. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects at different temperatures - it always flows from warmer objects to cooler ones. Thermal energy can be transferred through three processes: conduction (direct contact), convection (transfer of heat by a moving fluid like air or water), and radiation (transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves). Good conductors allow easy transfer of thermal energy through conduction, while insulators inhibit such transfer.

The document summarizes energy conversions. It provides examples of potential energy converting to kinetic energy, such as a skateboarder gaining kinetic energy when going down a half-pipe after gaining potential energy going up. Another example is a stretched rubber band, where elastic potential energy converts to kinetic energy of motion when released. Chemical energy from food is also converted by the body into other usable energy forms.
Interactive textbook ch. 5 matter in motiontiffanysci
Forces have both direction and size. A net force is determined by adding all forces acting on an object. A balanced net force of 0 N means the object will not change its motion, while an unbalanced net force not equal to 0 N will cause a change in the object's motion. Examples given include a chair with balanced forces so it does not move, and a soccer ball kicked with an unbalanced force that changes its motion.
This document provides an overview of elements, compounds, and mixtures. It begins by defining an element as a pure substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances. Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids based on their physical properties. Compounds are then defined as pure substances composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together in specific ratios. Compounds have unique physical and chemical properties that differ from their component elements. The document concludes by explaining that mixtures are physical combinations of elements or compounds that maintain their individual identities and can typically be separated.

Density is a physical property that describes how mass and volume are related in an object. It is calculated by dividing an object's mass by its volume. Knowing an object's density can help identify it, as different substances have different characteristic densities. For example, a golf ball has a higher density than a ping pong ball of similar size because it contains more mass in the same volume. Density is measured in units of mass per unit volume, such as grams per cubic centimeter.

1) Sound travels faster through solids than liquids or gases, and the speed depends on the temperature of the medium. The speed of sound in air is around 343 m/s.
2) The pitch of a sound depends on its frequency, which is measured in Hertz. Higher frequencies mean a higher pitch. Humans can only hear sounds within a certain frequency range.
3) The Doppler effect causes changes in the perceived pitch of a sound source depending on whether the source is moving towards or away from the listener. This explains why an ambulance siren sounds higher in pitch as it approaches.

Machines make work easier by reducing the amount of force needed. A machine transfers the input force applied over a greater distance to increase the output force. This allows the same amount of work to be done with less input force. For example, a screwdriver acts as a lever to pry open a paint can lid, applying a smaller force over a greater distance to generate a larger output force on the lid.
Interactive Textbook Ch. 6 Forces and Motiontiffanysci
This document summarizes key concepts about gravity and motion from a textbook section. It explains that Galileo proved that heavy and light objects fall at the same rate due to gravity, with gravity pulling more on heavy objects but those objects also being harder to move. It then discusses other concepts like air resistance affecting falling objects, terminal velocity being reached when air resistance equals gravity, and free fall occurring without air resistance. It also covers orbiting objects being in a state of free fall, projectile motion resulting from horizontal and vertical motions combining, and centripetal force providing the inward pull that keeps objects in orbit.
1) Gravity pulls on all objects with mass towards other massive objects like Earth. Gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at 9.8 m/s2, making them speed up equally regardless of mass.
2) Air resistance opposes the downward motion of falling objects and depends on factors like size and shape. Heavier, more compact objects like crumpled paper fall faster than flat, air-resistant objects like paper.
3) Objects reach a steady fastest speed called terminal velocity when air resistance equals the downward force of gravity. Without air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
- Gravity pulls on all objects at a rate of 9.8 m/s2, causing their velocity to increase each second they fall. Galileo proved that heavy and light objects fall at the same rate due to gravity and air resistance.
- Air resistance opposes the motion of falling objects and increases with an object's size, shape, and speed. It causes objects like paper to fall more slowly than crumpled paper.
- Objects in free fall, like satellites orbiting Earth, are constantly falling toward the larger object but maintain the same velocity due to gravity and forward motion, allowing them to orbit indefinitely without hitting the surface.
Steps for balancing chemical equations involve drawing a line under the arrow, listing the elements and number of atoms on both sides, and adding coefficients to balance the atoms; rules are to only add coefficients and not change subscripts or break apart molecules.
There are four states of matter: solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. The state of matter depends on how closely or loosely packed the atoms or molecules are and how much they move. Solids have tightly packed particles that vibrate in place; liquids have particles that can move past one another; gases have particles that are far apart and move freely; and plasma is an ionized gas where electrons are separated from atoms or molecules. Matter can change between these different states through phase changes like freezing, melting, evaporation, and condensation.
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies and is a characteristic of matter. Mass is also a characteristic of matter and is the amount of matter in an object. Mass stays constant no matter the location, while weight depends on gravitational force and can vary depending on location. Mass is measured using a balance and expressed in grams, while weight is measured using a spring scale and expressed in Newtons.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
