New hyaenodonta (Mammalia) from the middle Eocene of Myanmar
The middle Eocene Pondaung Formation in Myanmar has yielded a rich mammalian fauna including several Primate taxa. Hyaenodonta are known by the genera Kyawdawia, Yarshea, Orienspterodon, and two other indeterminate taxa. We describe here new material of Kyawdawia, including some morphological details, a new species of the hypercarnivorous genus Propterodon and an indeterminate species, different from those described earlier in Myanmar, and characterized by a reduction of m3 and would belong to a third lineage with the same evolutionary trend as Galecyon and the Limnocyoninae. The hyainailourines (Orienspterodon) and hyaenodontines (Propterodon) are recorded for the first time in Southeast Asia and these subfamilies appeared in quasi the same time in Europe illustrating probably a profound change in the carnivorous fauna among Laurasia.

Plant breeding for disease resistance is a strategy to reduce crop losses caused by disease. Plants have an innate immune system that allows them to recognize pathogens and provide resistance. However, breeding for long-lasting resistance often involves combining multiple resistance genes
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
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.
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.

INTRODUCTION Belisario Domínguez and División del Norte quarries
The fossil fishes from Paleocene of Southeastern Mexico were
accidentally found by archeologists exploring the Ancestral site of
Palenque (A). Inside the temples, they discover several fossil
specimens, including two yellowish slabs containing fishes (B).
Posterior prospections around the archeological city lead to know
two fossil localities with the same features of the rocks found
inside the temples: the Belisario Domínguez and División del
Norte quarries.
The Palace, one of the slab was on
rubble in this site of the
Archeological city of Palenque. The
other is a tap of tomb found in
another site: the Bat group.
The two slabs containing fossil
fishes (MUPAL 2587, 2731) found in
the Archaeological city of Palenque
and their respective schematic
drawings evidenced the presence of
distinct fishes.

The Belisario Domínguez quarry is under the coordinates
17°25'28.60"N and 91°58'46.80"W, while the División del Norte is
in 17°16'12.17"N and 97°40'40.7"W, both inside a dense jungle
close to the archeological city of Palenque (C). These quarries
belong to the Tenejapa-Lacandón Formation. The sediments
consist of limestone marls deposited in laminated and parallel
strata, which predominantly show yellowish-creamy colors and
eventually have dark-grey silicified bands (D-G). Both microfossil
index and isotope studies indicates the Danian Age (63 ± 1.5 Ma),
the first floor of the Cenozoic Era.
Extract points of Belisario Domínguez (D-F) and División del Norte (E-

by vegetation, which makes it difficult both the fossil extraction and
determination of the length and deepness of these fossil beds.

2. MATERIAL AND METHODS
Exceptional preservation
Although currently only a small portion of both
quarries have been exploited, is remarkable the
number of fossil specimens collected in these sites.
To date, foraminifers, ostracods, and plant remains
also compose the biodiversity of Paleocene
quarries of Southeastern Mexico, however, the fish
diversity is extraordinary and exceptionally well-
preserved (A-C). Articulated fish remains are rare to
Early Paleocene, which make the fossil fishes of
these localities the “Rosetta stone” to understand
the early diversification of some marine groups
that currently are diverse and widely distributed
along with saltwater and brackish environments.
Types of fossil fish preservation in Paleocene quarries of
Chiapas, Mexico: (A) disarticulated bones; (B) isolated
complete specimens; (C) specimens in several grades of
preservation in massive mortality.
Annual expeditions to Chiapas have been performing since 2008 and
a considerable number of fossil specimens were collected (D).
Currently, they are housed at the National Collection of Paleontology
of Mexico (Colección Nacional de Paleontología- UNAM) (E). At least
200 rock samples containing fossils of these localities are in the
geographical reference section of the collection waiting to be
studied; while 17 samples formally used in scientific researches are
definitively catalogued into the Type section.
When possible, the morphological features are included in a data
matrix (J) along with other taxa to evidence the ancestry (i.e.
phylogenetic) relationships of the fossil studied (K). Usually, the
matrix is obtained with Mesquite software (L). Parsimony-based
phylogenies are obtained with TNT (M), while Mr. Bayes software
(N) is used to Bayesian inferences.
At the laboratory, the work comprises to perform a fine cleaning
of small patches of sediments using both mechanical tools and
chemical substances. Furthermore, when necessary silicon
molds (F) and transferring resin techniques (G) are employed to
the better observation of the material.
After the preparation, the work consists of the morphological
description and comparative anatomy. To perform this, measures,
counts, and the osteological description are retrieved and
compared with other species and the data in the literature.

3. RESULTS
Species diagnosis Phylogenetic relationships
Fossilized birth-death
The aim of this study also is using the fossil species described for calibration of
divergence-time estimation in phylogenetic trees. The biggest challenges faced so far
are: (1) the lack previous morphology-based phylogenies to include the species; (2) the
lack of congruence between morphological and molecular classifications, that prevents
the use of these species to estimate an absolute timescale calibration
*To date, we are focusing here,
the percomorphs, an extremely
diverse group of fishes that
comprises the latest divergent
spiny-rayed fish lineage.
A total of 8 taxa are recognized. Furthermore
At least four more new species are under study.

4. DISCUSSION
Temporal expansion
Biogeographic expansion The rise of modern reef fauna?
The importance of Paleocene fossil fishes of Mexico
Fauna after the disaster
Flutemouths DamselfishesSeabasses
Bolca fishes
SE Mexico fishes
The K/Pg massive extinction was a
remarkable event that drastically
changed the life around the planet. Since
they are dated as the beginning of the
Paleogene, the SE Mexico fossil localities
provide important information about
biodiversity just after this event.
Furthermore, these localities are only
500km from the Crater of Chicxulub,
formed by a meteorite that should be
one the responsible for this massive
extinction.
Percomorph fishes discovered in SE Mexico fossil
localities have not been reported for the Danian Age yet.
Most of their relatives are reported in Eocene limestones
from Bolca, an emblematic Lagerstätten from Italy or in
the London Clay Formation, United Kingdom. This means
that the fauna in Early Paleocene outcrops of SE Mexico
is pushing back 13 Ma the minimal age of some marine
groups!
Percomorph fossil species found in Early Paleocene outcrops of Mexico are closely related
with modern groups that currently inhabiting coral reef systems. Nevertheless, the
presence of corals is not confirmed in these localities; the environment interpreted is a
shallow marine habitat with the bottom compose mainly by seagrass beds. This piece of
evidence is an important key to understand how modern fishes dominate coral reef
systems, resulting in the most diverse vertebrate group widely distributed along with
marine environments nowadays.
Fossil fishes closely related with the extinct percomorphs of SE Mexico are
mainly distributed in European localities. It means that the species herein
reported are not only the oldest reports but also the firsts notifications in
America to their respective groups. This is a strong evidence that the Caribbean
Sea was important to the early diversification of some modern marine
percomorphs.
