The document discusses the history and engineering of maglev trains. It explains that maglev trains are propelled by magnetic levitation and do not have conventional engines. Maglev trains have lower operating costs than airplanes or trucks. However, existing maglev lines like the Shanghai maglev have not been profitable due to lack of infrastructure and high construction costs. While maglev trains show potential, uncertainties around costs remain a challenge for their widespread adoption.

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.

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 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.

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.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

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.

2. Human civilization has been fundamentally
altered by the evolution of mass
transportation. The train has evolved from its
humble beginnings in the early nineteenth
century to a high-tech marvel capable of
speeds in excess of 360 mph or 580 kmh.
Emile Bachelet, a French-born American
engineer, was the first to file patents for
magnetic levitation (maglev) technologies in
the early 1910s. Even earlier, in 1904 [source:
Witschge], American professor and inventor
Robert Goddard published a paper outlining
the concept of maglev levitation.
It wasn't long before engineers began
designing train systems based on this future
vision. They anticipated that passengers
would soon board magnetically propelled cars
and zip from place to place at high speeds,
without many of the maintenance and safety
concerns associated with traditional railroads.
History of
the maglev
ORIGINS PAGE 1
The world’s first purely maglev
train system, which was for public
use was opened in May 1984.
Providing origin/destination
transportation service. It was a
slow shuttle that went from
Birmingham International
Airport's terminal to the
neighboring train station.
The Shanghai maglev line,
which connects Shanghai
Pudong International Airport
with the outskirts of central
Shanghai, is now the most
well-known commercial high-
speed maglev line.
Maglev Trains
3. PAGE 2 ENGINEERING
A few countries in the twenty-first century are
developing high-speed trains called maglev trains
using powerful electromagnets. Magnetic
levitation is classified into two types:
electromagnetic suspension (EMS) and
electrodynamic suspension (EDS) (EDS).
Superconducting magnets on both the track and
the railcar produce opposing magnetic fields,
which repel each other and suspend the railcar.
The attraction of electromagnets beneath The rail
keeps the train elevated above the track in
electromagnetic suspenail cars are suspended on
a magnetic cushion about a half-inch above the
tracks in each case.
This Electromagnetic fields was tested by my own
experiment, in seeing the electromagnetic fields
visually by putting a magnet inside a glass tube
and using magnets from the walls to simulate an
electromagnetic in a maglev. This was backed up
by The primary distinction between a maglev train
and a conventional train is that maglev trains lack
an engine, at least not the type of engine used to
pull conventional train cars along steel tracks. The
engines for maglev trains is rather unobtrusive.
Instead of using fossil fuels, the train is propelled
by the magnetic field created by the electrified
coils in the guideway walls and track.
Another significant difference between
conventional and maglev trains, is that the power
guideway drives maglev trains. Jesse Powel a
maglev expert quoted “With maglev, there is no
driver. The vehicle has to move where the
network sends them. Thats basic physics” this
means that it has a very significant safety benefit
compare to conventional trains. Any trains
moving in the same route cannot catch up or crash
to each other because both are being powered to
move at the same speed.

Impact of the Maglev trains
The Maglev is also very cheap and efficient
compared to conventional trains. According to
a study by Stathis Ilondis, Stanford University
Fall of 2010; Operating expenses for Maglev
will be 3 cents per passenger mile and 7 cents
per tonne mile, compared to 15 cents per
passenger mile for airlines and 30 cents per
tonne mile for intercity trucks. Because there is
no mechanical contact and wear, guideways
can survive for at least 50 years with minimum
maintenance. At 480 kilometres per hour,
maglev uses 0.4 megajoules per passenger mile,
compared to 4 megajoules per passenger mile
for an 8.5-kilometer-per-liter (20-mile-per-
gallon) automobile carrying 1.8 passengers at
96 kilometres per hour. It's also worth
comparing the efficiency of maglev trains to
that of regular high-speed trains. The energy
consumption of the German high-speed maglev
Transrapid and the German high-speed maglev
Transrapid is shown in Table 1.
Maglev, if it is implemented, will have enormous
environmental, safety, and economic benefits. It can
greatly reduce pollution and carbon dioxide
emissions, provide greater and safer mobility at a
lower cost; and reduce dependence on foreign oil. If
we are to improve our environment and living
standards, we must bring forward new technologies
to solve our crisis problems. JAMES R. POWELL
GORDON T. DANBY Shoreham, L.I., Dec. 12, 1990.
The writers are with Brookhaven National
Laboratory as, respectively, head of the reaction
systems division and a senior physicist. Although the
maglev train has numerous benefits, it also has
drawbacks. The Shanghai maglev transportation
company, for example, loses 500-700 million Yuan
each year and hasn't made a profit since its
inception. This equates to between 74 and 100
million dollars. Not only that, but according to
Chinese media estimates, the current cost of a track
is 310 million yuan, or $34 million per kilometre.
This indicates that there is a lack of public interest,
but it does not imply that there is a lack of demand
for people to use trains as a mode of transportation.
Another major problem is the absence of primary
infrastructure, because a maglev train differs from a
regular train in that it is unable to travel beyond its
initial destination (which means it cannot service
surrounding cities within its original destination). So
this may hinder its usefulness.
5. The Maglev trains shows us that the limits for innovations
and curiosity is unimaginable, it was a marvel for physics
and magnets. It has potential to becoming a major
transportation, the Shangai Maglev train transportation
proved that a viable commercial high speed maglev
transportation is a reality. But due to the lack of
infrastructure and cost it is still uncertain for the future of
Maglev transportation.
