Modern Trends in Energy Policy of Persian Gulf Countriesijtsrd
Article analysis the modern processes of energy policy of Persian Gulf countries and main issues of providing energy policy of countries in Persian Gulf were examined. Besides, some recommendations and conclusions are given due to develop bilateral and multilateral cooperation with Gulf countries. As well as, the economic viability of the renewable energy sector is becoming increasingly apparent to Gulf governments, given the potential for high intensity solar heat, geothermal and wind resources. However, such renewable resources are subject to supply fluctuations, and it is therefore recognized that they are best used in combination during periods of peak demand, while another alternative – nuclear power – can provide a continuous and mature source of electricity throughout the year.

STUDY OF THERMAL MAPPING FOR HEALTH MONITORING OF GAS TURBINE BLADEIJRISE Journal
Thermal mapping for health monitoring of gas turbine is essential as modern day gas turbine subjected to very
high temperature applications, gas turbines are used extensively for aircraft propulsion, land -based power
generation, and industrial applications. Developments in turbine cooling technology play a critical role in
increasing the thermal efficiency and power output of advanced gas turbines. Gas turbine blades are cooled
internally by passing the coolant through several rib-enhanced Some tine passages to remove heat conducted
from the outside surface. External cooling of turbine blades by film cooling is achieved by injecting relatively
cooler air from the internal coolant passages out of the blade surface in order to form a protective layer between
the blade surface and hot gas-path flow. For health monitoring of gas turbine blade, this presentation focuses on
the effect of critical zone and hot spot along temperature distribution by using thermal paint. The comp utational
flow and heat transfer results are also presented. This presentation includes unsteady high free -stream
turbulence effects on film cooling performance with a discussion of detailed heat transfer coefficient and filmcooling
effectiveness distributions for standard and shaped film-hole geometry using the newly developed
transient liquid crystal image method.

Call for Chapters- Edited Book: Real World Challenges in Quantum Electronics ...Christo Ananth
Most experts would consider this the biggest challenge. Quantum computers are extremely sensitive to noise and errors caused by interactions with their environment. This can cause errors to accumulate and degrade the quality of computation. Developing reliable error correction techniques is therefore essential for building practical quantum computers. While quantum computers have shown impressive performance for some tasks, they are still relatively small compared to classical computers. Scaling up quantum computers to hundreds or thousands of qubits while maintaining high levels of coherence and low error rates remains a major challenge. Developing high-quality quantum hardware, such as qubits and control electronics, is a major challenge. There are many different qubit technologies, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, and developing a scalable, fault-tolerant qubit technology is a major focus of research. Funding agencies, such as government agencies, are rising to the occasion to invest in tackling these quantum computing challenges. Researchers — almost daily — are making advances in the engineering and scientific challenges to create practical quantum computers

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.

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.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

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.

I. INTRODUCTION
The quest for a sustainable and carbon-neutral future has placed unprecedented emphasis on the
transformation of our global energy systems. Amidst this backdrop, nuclear energy emerges as a polarizing
yet pivotal player in the discourse on climate change mitigation and energy security. This paper begins by
tracing the lineage of nuclear energy from its genesis in the mid-20th century to its contemporary status as a
cornerstone in the global energy mix. The historical context is critical, as it reveals the evolution of nuclear
technology, safety protocols, and public perception over the decades.
Nuclear energy stands at a crossroads, embodying a paradox in the modern energy landscape. On
one hand, it is lauded for its high energy density and the capability to provide stable, continuous electricity
that is largely unaffected by the fluctuations and uncertainties of other renewable sources. This reliability
positions nuclear power as a potentially indispensable player in the grid, especially in the context of
escalating demands for energy and the imperative to transition away from fossil fuels. On the other hand,
the use of nuclear technology is fraught with significant challenges. Safety concerns, stemming from
historical accidents, continue to cast a long shadow over its public acceptance. Waste management remains
an unsolved conundrum, with long-term storage solutions for radioactive waste still being a subject of
intense research and debate. Furthermore, the specter of proliferation risks, where nuclear technology could
be diverted to non-peaceful uses, adds a layer of geopolitical complexity to its deployment.
The divergent paths taken by different nations reflect this dichotomy. Some countries, influenced by
public opinion and the daunting economics of nuclear safety enhancements, are phasing out their nuclear
fleets, viewing the risks as outweighing the benefits. In contrast, others are doubling down on nuclear
power, spurred by the promise of next-generation reactors that offer safer, more efficient, and less waste-
intensive operations. This nuclear renaissance is driven by the pressing need to decarbonize energy
systems—a goal that has gained renewed urgency under the Paris Agreement's ambitious target to cap
global temperature rise. As countries grapple with the energy trilemma of security, equity, and
sustainability, nuclear energy's role becomes a balancing act between its potential as a low-carbon bulwark
65
2. and the imperative to address its inherent challenges. The outcome of this debate will significantly shape the
trajectory of global energy policies and the future of our planet's climate.
The introduction sets the stage for a nuanced exploration of nuclear energy's dichotomous nature: its
indispensable contribution to low-carbon baseload power generation and the socio-political, economic, and
environmental challenges it must surmount. As the world stands at the crossroads of an energy transition,
the paper posits that a reevaluation of nuclear energy's role is not just timely but imperative for future
energy strategies that prioritize sustainability alongside decarbonization.
