The document discusses the natural resources of the Philippines. It notes that the country has rich mineral deposits, fertile land, extensive coastlines, and high biodiversity due to its tropical climate and location within the Pacific Ring of Fire. Abundant rainfall and sunshine allow diverse plant and animal life to thrive. The geology of the Philippines, with its volcanoes, plates, and magma, led to deposits of valuable metals like gold, copper, and nickel. Renewable resources like geothermal, hydroelectric, wind and solar energy are also prevalent due to the climate and geology. Conserving natural resources sustainably is important so future generations can also benefit.

Biology is the scientific study of life.[1][2][3] It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.[1][2][3] For instance, all organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations. Another major theme is evolution, which explains the unity and diversity of life.[1][2][3] Energy processing is also important to life as it allows organisms to move, grow, and reproduce.[1][2][3] Finally, all organisms are able to regulate their own internal environments.[1][2][3][4][5]
Biologists are able to study life at multiple levels of organization,[1] from the molecular biology of a cell to the anatomy and physiology of plants and animals, and evolution of populations.[1][6] Hence, there are multiple subdisciplines within biology, each defined by the nature of their research questions and the tools that they use.[7][8][9] Like other scientists, biologists use the scientific method to make observations, pose questions, generate hypotheses, perform experiments, and form conclusions about the world around them.[1]
Life on Earth, which emerged more than 3.7 billion years ago,[10] is immensely diverse. Biologists have sought to study and classify the various forms of life, from prokaryotic organisms such as archaea and bacteria to eukaryotic organisms such as protists, fungi, plants, and animals. These various organisms contribute to the biodiversity of an ecosystem, where they play specialized roles in the cycling of nutrients and energy through their biophysical environment.

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.

(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.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
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.
Seminar of U.V. Spectroscopy by SAMIR PANDASAMIR PANDA
Spectroscopy is a branch of science dealing the study of interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy refers to absorption spectroscopy or reflect spectroscopy in the UV-VIS spectral region.
Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy is an analytical method that can measure the amount of light received by the analyte.
2. Northern Hemisphere- is a part
of the world between the North
Pole and the equator.
Southern Hemisphere- is a part
of the world between the South
Pole and the equator.
Equator – starting point for
latitude.
Prime Meridian – starting point
for longitude
4. The Philippines is considered rich in
natural resources. We have fertile
arable lands, high diversity of plant
and animals, extensive coastlines,
and rich mineral deposits. We have
natural gas, coal, and geothermal
energy. Wind and water are also
harnessed for electricity generation.
5. Why do we have rich natural
resources?
What geologic structures in
the country account for
these bounty?
Is our location near the
equator related to the
presence of these natural
resources?
6. How does our latitude position affect the
water, soil resources, and biodiversity in the
country?
What mineral deposits do we have in the
country? Where are they located and why only
in those places?
Given our location, what energy resources are
available?
Which of our practices in using natural
resources are sustainable? Which are not
sustainable?
How can we help conserve natural resources
so that future generations can also enjoy
them?
8. Because our country
is made up of islands,
the country’s coastline
(seashore) if laid end to
end, would measure
around 17.5 thousand
kilometers.
9. Pacific Ocean and South China Sea
- These bodies of water are the
origin of typhoons which on the
average, according to Philippine
Atmospheric Geophysical and
Astronomical Services
Administration (PAG – ASA), is
about 20 a year.
10. For some, rain and typhoons
result in flooding, landslides,
and health related – problems.
Water is one of nature’s gifts
to us.
People need fresh water for
many purposes.
11. We use water for domestic
purposes, for irrigation, and
for industries.
We need water to generate
electricity.
We use water for recreation or
its aesthetic value.
Many resorts are located near
springs, waterfalls or lakes.
12. They come from a
watershed.
Watershed – is an area of
land on a slope which
drains its water into a
stream and its tributaries.
18. Mt. Apo in Davao-Cotabato
Makiling-Banahaw in Laguna
and Quezon
Tiwi in Albay
La Mesa Dam in Metro Manila
Pantabangan Dam in
Pampanga
Angat Dam in Bulacan
19. But watersheds are not
just about water. A
single watershed may
include combination of
forest, grassland,
marshes, and other
habitats.
20. Being a tropical
country, the
Philippines has
abundant rainfall,
many bodies of
water, and lots of
sunshine.
21. The right temperature
and abundant rainfall
explain partly why our
country is considered
to be a mega – diverse
country.
22. This means that
we have high
diversity of plants
and animals, both
on land and in
water.
23. The country hosts more
than 52,177 described
species of which more
than half is found
nowhere else in the
world.
24. Weathering – is a
process where rocks
and other materials
near the Earth’s
surface are broken
down.
26. Soil covers the entire
Earth.
Temperature, rainfall,
chemical changes, and
biological action act
together to
continuously form soil.
27. Climate – is often
considered the most
powerful soil – forming
factor.
- expressed
as both temperature
and rainfall effects.
28. Temperature controls how fast
chemical reactions occur.
Warm-region soils are
normally more developed or
more mature than cold-region
soils.
Mature soils have more silt
and clay on or near the
surface.
29. Thus, soils in the tropical
areas are observed to
sustain various farming
activities and account for
why the primary source of
livelihood in the Philippines
and other countries in the
tropical region is their
fertile land.
30.
31. Climate (temperature
and rainfall) is a
significant factor not
only in soil formation
but also in sustaining
diversity of plants and
animals in the country.
32. On the other hand, water
also directly affects the
movement of soluble soil
nutrients from the top soil
to deep under the ground.
Acidic rainwater may also
contribute to the loss of
minerals in soil resulting in
low yield.
33. The mining of rocks for their
metal content has been
considered one of the most
important factors of human
progress.
The mining industry has raised
levels of economy in some
regions, in part because of kind of
metals available from the rocks in
those areas.
35. The important metallic
minerals found in various
parts of the Philippines
include gold, copper,
iron, chromite(made up
of chromium, iron, and
other metals), nickel,
cobalt, and platinum.
36. The most productive
copper and gold producers
in the Philippines are found
in Baguio, the province of
Benguet, and in Surigao-
Davao areas.
Major producers of nickel
are in Palawan and Surigao.
37. Metals are important.
The properties of metals make them
useful for specific purposes.
Iron – is the main material for steel bars
used in buildings and road construction.
Copper – is used in making electrical
wires.
Tin – is the material for milk cans and
other preserved food products.
Nickel – Nickel is mixed with copper or
other metals to form stainless cooking
wares.
Gold – is important in making jewelry.
46. Geologists explain
that there is a
continuous source
of heat deep under
the Earth ; this
melts rocks and
other materials.
47. - is the mixture
of molten or
semi – molten
materials.
48. Because magma is hotter and
lighter than the surrounding
rocks, it rises, melting some of
the rocks it passes on the way.
If the magma finds a way to
the surface, it will erupt as
lava.
Lava flow is observed in
erupting volcanoes.
49. But the rising magma
does not always reach the
surface to erupt. Instead,
it may slowly cool and
harden beneath the
volcano and form
different kinds of igneous
rocks.
51. This is the reason why
metallic minerals
deposits such as copper,
gold, silver, lead, and
zinc are associated with
magmas found deep
within the roots of
extinct volcanoes.
52. If before, your association
with volcanoes and trenches
is danger and risk to life and
property, now you know that
the presence of volcanoes,
trenches and other geological
structures is the reason for
the rich mineral deposits in
the country.
53. The existence of
volcanoes also
explains why the
Philippines is rich in
geothermal energy
(heat from the Earth)
54.
55. The tropical climate
and the geological
conditions also
provide several
possibilities to get
clean and cheap
energy.
58. The Philippines ranked second to
the United States in terms of
Geothermal energy deposits.
Geothermal power plants are
located in Banahaw-Makiling,
Laguna, Tiwi in Albay, Bacman in
Sorsogon, Palimpinon in Negros
Occidental, Tongonan in Leyte,
and Mt. Apo side of Cotabato.
59.
60. Hydroelectric Power
Plants use water to
generate electricity.
They provide for 27% of
total electricity
production in the
country.
70. Coal is a black or brownish
black, solid rock that can be
burned.
It contains about 40% non-
combustible components,
thus a source of air
pollution when used as fuel.
71. Coal deposits are scattered
over the Philippines but the
largest deposit is located in
Semirara Island, Antique.
Coal mines are also located
in Cebu, Zamboanga
Sibuguey, Albay, Surigao,
and Negros Provinces.
72.
73. Natural gas is
considered clean fuel
because when burned,
it produces the least
carbon dioxide,
among fossil fuels.
74. In Bangui, Ilocos Norte, the
windmills as high as 50 meters
not only help improve the tourism
in Ilocos but it also provides 40%
of the energy requirements for
electricity in the entire province.
This proves that we do not have
to be dependent on fossil fuel in
our country.
