As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
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.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Deep Software Variability and Frictionless Reproducibility
Stereopsis in infants and its development in relation to visual acuity.pptx
1. STEREOPSIS IN INFANTS AND ITS
DEVELOPMENT IN RELATION TO
VISUAL ACUITY
RESHMA S SURESH
2. Stereopsis
• Clinical tests for stereopsis currently available require verbal interactions that are
unreliable in patients less than 2.5 years of age
•Testing stereopsis in young children is important for assisting in the identification
and progression of amblyopia, strabismus and significant refractive error
•A study by Shea et al. (1980) is based upon generating a random-element
stereogram in real time on a modified color video monitor that presents the
stereogram as an anaglyph
•The stereoscopic form can be moved about in stereoscopic space without the
introduction of monocular cues, and these movements can be used to engage in
infants visual attention
3. •If the infant’s eye movements and other attentive behavior are correlated with
the movement of the stereoscopic form, then the infant is having the capacity of
stereopsis
•Using this method they have found that stereopsis does not emerge until the
third or fourth postnatal month
•Infants have been reported to respond to coarse disparities present in dynamic
random-dot stereograms by their fourth month of life
•A study by R Held (1980) applied a new procedure using line stereograms
•It showed that stereoacuity of one degree is measurable by the fourth month
and that it rapidly improves to at least one sec of arc by the fifth month
•Stereograms were used in order to eliminate the parallax motion that is
produced by movements of the head in relation to a real object
4. Visual cliff – Experiment for depth
perception
Visual cliff designed by Eleanor Gibson and Richard Walk (1960) was used in
the studies of depth perception
Their apparatus consisted of a 'bridge' either side of which was a sturdy glass
platform
One side of this had a chequered pattern immediately under the glass (the
'shallow side'). On the other side of the bridge was a 'cliff' - the chequered
pattern was beneath a vertical drop
36 infants ranging in age from six months to 14 months.
Infants were placed at the edge of the visual cliff and had their mother coax
them to crawl on to the glass
5. The independent variable (IV) was whether the infant was called by its mother
from the cliff side or the shallow side (of the visual cliff apparatus).
The dependent variable (DV) was whether or not the child would crawl to its
mother.
Most infants readily crossed the shallow side and most reacted with fear to the
deep side – indicating infants can perceive depth
6-12 months old infants had extensive visual experience
2-4 months old showed variation in heart rate when directly placed on the
deep side

7. Tests for stereopsis
Name of the test Age
Lang Stereo test (Random dot) 8months – 2.5 years
The TNO test 2.5-3 years
Frisby Stereo test 3-12 years
Titmus fly test 4-18 years
The Randot test 3-15 years
8. The Lang stereo I and II test
•1983, Joseph Lang
•Stereopsis screening in children
•It is based on random dot principle
•The Lang test card was held by the examiner directly
in front of the child
•Positive responses, demonstrated by correct pointing
or an attempt to grasp one of the shapes
•The patient has to locate Cat (1200 arc sec), Star
(600), Car (550) for Lang I
•The patient has to locate the arc of the moon (200
arc sec), a star (200 arc sec), a car (400 arc sec), and
an elephant (600 arc sec) for Lang II
9. The TNO test
•Toegepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek
•This test was developed for the Dutch military
as a screening test for stereopsis
•It consists of booklet containing seven plates
•Red and green glasses are required to
dissociate
•The first four plates are useful as the disparity
is large and provides a qualitative assessment
of stereopsis
•The fifth and seventh plate grades from 480 to
15 arc sec
10. The Frisby test
•Three plastic cards each containing four
squares of small random shape one of this
squares in each plate contains a hidden circle
which is seen in disparity
•The disparity is created by displacement of
random shapes by the thickness of the plate so
this test does not require use of glasses
•A disadvantage of this test is that if the plate or
child moves, motion parallax cues can reveal
the disk
•By using plates with three different thicknesses
viewed at nine different distances, 27
disparities between 5 and 600 sec of arc can be
presented
11. The Titmus fly test
•It consists of Fly, wirt circles, and animals.
•Done at 40cm
•Requires polarized glasses
•The contours of the circles are visible monocularly
especially at high disparities, making it possible
for a stereoblind child to solve atleast some of the
levels
•Sensitivity of Titmus is estimated at 63% for
strabismus and 38% for amblyopia, making the
test unsuitable for screening
•The test-retest repeatability is relatively poor, but
better than TNO test.
12. The Randot test
•Requires polarized glasses and done at
40 cm
•The test is a contour stereotest with the
associated monocular cues in the high
disparities
•The circles and animal subtests has
monocular cues
•The third subtest does not have
monocular cues

15. Are babies born with visual abilities?
Babies are not born with all the visual abilities they need in life
The ability to focus their eyes, move them accurately and use them together as
a team must be learned
They need to learn how to use the visual information
From birth - babies begin exploring the wonders in the world with their eyes
16. Visual acuity, in preverbal infants, is defined as a motor or sensory response to a threshold
stimulus of known size at known testing distance.
17. Steps in infant visual development
At birth, babies can't see as well as older children or adults.
Their eyes and visual system aren't fully developed.
It is important to remember that not every child is the same and some may
reach certain milestones at different ages.
Newborn’s visual acuity: 20/600. That is a new born can see clearly at 20 feet
what a normal adult can see at 600 feet (Schiffman, 2000)
18. Birth to four months
At birth - An infant is very sensitive to bright light. A newborn baby can see
something next to them with their peripheral vision, but their central vision is
still developing.
First months of life - eyes start working together and vision rapidly improves
Eye-hand coordination begins to develop as the infant starts tracking moving
objects with his or her eyes and reaching for them
19. Two months of life - babies begin to more easily focus their eyes on the faces of
a parent or other person near them
An infant's eyes are not well coordinated and may appear to wander or to be
crossed (usually normal)
- If an eye appears to turn in or out constantly - evaluation is warranted
Babies should begin to follow moving objects with their eyes and reach for
things at around three months of age
20.
21. Five to eight months
These months - control of eye movements and eye-body coordination skills
continue to improve
Depth perception which is the ability to judge if objects are nearer or farther
away than other objects (not present at birth)
It is not until around the fifth month that the eyes are capable of working
together to form a three-dimensional view of the world and begin to see in
depth
They get better at reaching for objects both near and far
22. Infant's color vision is not as sensitive as an adult's - it is generally believed that
babies have good color vision by five months of age
Most babies start crawling at about 8 months old - which helps further develop
eye-hand-foot-body coordination
23. Nine to twelve months
At around 9 months of age - begin to pull themselves up to a standing position
By 10 months of age a baby should be able to grasp objects with thumb and
forefinger
By twelve months of age - most babies will be crawling and trying to walk
(Parents should encourage crawling rather than early walking to help the child
develop better eye-hand coordination)
24.
25. One to Two years
By two years of age - a child's eye-hand coordination and depth perception should be well
developed
Children this age are highly interested in exploring their environment and in looking and
listening
They recognize familiar objects and pictures in books and can scribble with crayon or pencil.
HERE SUBJECTIVE RESPONSE IS IMPORTANT.
Computerized stereogram, TNO test presented in difficulty in testing infants between 8 months and 2 years because of the likelihood that these children would reject the red/green glasses.
