Life is a unique process that is made from the aggregation of molecules. These molecules undergo various chemical reactions to perform their specific functions which are called metabolism. This results in the production and utilization of energy. The metabolism will result in the growth, development, reproduction, adaptations, etc of the living organisms through the production of various biomolecules.
The evolutionary development or history of a species or of a taxonomic group of organisms (The phylogeny of a group of taxa (singular: taxon) (species, etc.) is its evolutionary history)

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

This webinar marks the beginning of our three-part “Essentials of Automation” series. This first webinar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to utilize parameters effectively: enhancing the flexibility, maintainability, and user control of your FME projects.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Essentials of FME Parameters: Understand the pivotal role of parameters, including Reader/Writer, Transformer, User, and FME Flow categories. Discover how they are the key to unlocking automation and optimization within your workflows.
- Practical Applications in FME Form: Delve into key user parameter types including choice, connections, and file URLs. Allow users to control how a workflow runs, making your workflows more reusable. Learn to import values and deliver the best user experience for your workflows while enhancing accuracy.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
4. Autotrophs capture the light energy from sunlight
and convert it to chemical energy they use for food.
Heterotrophs must get energy by eating
autotrophs or other heterotrophs.
•Carnivores
•Herbivores
•Omnivores
Decomposers are heterotrophs that recycle dead
organisms by breaking them down.
5.
6. • Taxonomy is the science of grouping
and naming organisms.
Groups organisms based on similarities
• Classification the grouping of
information or objects based on
similarities.
7. •We only know about a fraction of the organisms that
exist or have existed on Earth.
•Taxonomists give a unique scientific name to each
species they know about, whether it’s alive today or
extinct.
•The scientific name comes from one of two “dead”
languages – Latin or ancient Greek.
•Why use a dead language?
13. •There are at least 50 common names for
the cat shown on the previous slides.
•Common names vary according to region.
•Soooo……why use a scientific name?
There are about 1.5 million species already
named
Scientists estimate between 2 and 100 million
species that haven’t been discovered yet
14. Binomial Nomenclature
•developed by Carolus Linnaeus
•a two-name system for writing scientific names.
•The genus name is written first (always Capitalized).
•The species name is written second (never capitalized).
•Both words are italicized if typed or underlined if hand written.
•Example: Felis concolor or F. concolor
1. Which is the genus? The species?
15. The major classification levels from most
general to most specific (several of these have
subdivisions)
•Linnaeus grouped organisms based on
physical similarities
•Today, organisms are grouped based on
evolutionary characteristics
A group at any level is a taxon.
16. Categories within Kingdoms
Kingdoms are divided into groups called phyla
Phyla are subdivided into classes
Classes are subdivided into orders
Orders are subdivided into families
Families are divided into genera
Genera contain closely related species
Species is unique
Remember: King Philip came over for George’s sword.
17.
18. The Six Kingdoms and Domains
number of energy cell type examples
cells
Archaebacteria unicellular some autotrophic, prokaryotic “extremophiles”
most chemotrophic
Eubacteria unicellular autotrophic and
heterotrophic
prokaryotic bacteria, E. coli
Fungae most heterotrophic eukaryotic mushrooms, yeast
multicellular
Plantae multicellular autotrophic eukaryotic trees, grass
Animalia multicellular heterotrophic eukaryotic humans, insects,
worms
Protista multicellular heterotrophic or
autotrophic
eukaryotic amoeba,
paramecium,
algae

20. The Dichotomous Key
• A key is a device for easily and quickly identifying
an unknown organism.
• The dichotomous key is the most widely used type
in biological sciences.
• The user is presented with a sequence of choices
between two statements, couplets, based on
characteristics of the organism. By always making
the correct choice, the name of the organism will be
revealed.
23. Modern Taxonomy
Phylogeny, the evolutionary history of an organism, is
the cornerstone of a branch of biology called systematic
taxonomy.
Systematics, as systematic taxonomy is commonly called,
is the study of the evolution of biological diversity.
24. A phylogenetic tree is a family tree
that shows a hypothesis about the
evolutionary relationships thought to
exist among groups of organisms. It
does not show the actual evolutionary
history of organisms.
25.
26. Phylogenetic trees are usually based on a
combination of these lines of evidence:
Fossil record
Morphology-deals with physical
structures and organs (like arms)
Embryological patterns of
development
Chromosomes and DNA
30. Convergent Evolution
These animals have evolved similar adaptations for
obtaining food because they occupy similar niches.
What can you infer about their phylogeny from their
geographic locations?
31. Convergent evolution leads to……….
Analogous Structures -
•Traits that are morphologically and
functionally similar even though there is
no common ancestor.
34. Cladistics - is a relatively new system
of phylogenetics classification that
uses shared derived characters to
establish evolutionary relationships.
A derived character is a feature that
apparently evolved only within the
group under consideration.
35. A phylogenetic tree based on a
cladistic analysis is called a
cladogram.
What derived character is shared by
all the animals on the cladogram on
the next slide?
