This document discusses the language used to describe strange facts in early modern science. During the 17th century, scientists encountered many new phenomena that seemed strange. Scientific societies reported on strange occurrences. Scientists like Robert Hooke described observations, like views of flies under microscopes, using poetic rather than scientific language. There was debate between Aristotelian and Baconian views on whether to generalize or take strange particulars seriously. Describing strange facts strained everyday language. Scientists aimed to create a neutral language to document phenomena without interpretation. The language of strange facts was deliberately superficial rather than seeking essences.

Freedom Quest 2018- Quiz on Indian Freedom Struggle- Round 1 directDhanesh Sebastian
Subhas Chandra Bose resigned from the Indian National Congress in 1939 to form a new party called the All India Forward Bloc. In 1938, Gandhi approved of Bose being elected president of the Congress, but did not approve of a second term, so Bose ran against Gandhi's candidate Bhogaraju Pattabhi Sitaramayya and defeated him. In 1910, Gandhi established an ashram called Tolstoy Farm on land donated by his friend Hermann Kallenbach near Johannesburg.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
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.
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.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

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.

4. H. G. WELLS
Herbert George Wells (1866-
1946) is a British writer and
social reformer.
He is a prolific writer of science
fiction novels, books on history,
politics and social commentary.
The Stolen Bacillus is a famous
short story published in 1895.
5. He is often called as “the father of
science fiction”.
His notable works were : The
Outline of History, The Time
Machine, The Invisible Man , The
War of the Worlds, The Island of
Doctor Moreau, The First Men in
the Moon, The Shape of Things to
Come, When the Sleeper Wakes,
etc.
6. Quite fancifully apocalyptic in
tone, his later works are
increasingly political and
didactic.
He was an outspoken socialist,
inclined towards Pacifist views.
His most consistent political
ideal was the World State.
7. He stated in his autobiography
that from 1900 onwards he
considered a World State
inevitable.
He envisioned the state to be a
planned society that would
advance science, end
nationalism, and allow people
to progress by merit rather than
birth.
8. SUMMARY
The Bacteriologist
has a visitor to his
laboratory, a pale
stranger who arrives
with a letter of
introduction from a
good friend of the
scientist.
9. The scientist
shows his visitor
the Cholera
Bacillus under a
microscope and
they talk about
the disease.
10. The visitor is particularly
interested in a vial containing
living bacteria, and the scientist
describes the power of cholera,
saying what a terrible epidemic
could be caused if a tube such as
the one he holds were to be
opened into the water supply.
11. The scientist’s wife calls him
away for a moment; when the
scientist returns, the visitor is
ready to leave. As soon as the
visitor has gone, the scientist
realizes the vial of bacteria is
missing, that the visitor must
have stolen it.
12. He runs out in a panic, and
hails another cab to give chase
and his wife follows in a third
cab, with her husband’s shoes
and coat and hat.
13. He was an
Anarchist who
plans to release
the bacteria into
London’s water
supply. He needs
fame and this act
will reveal his
power and
importance.
15. He becomes a human vector
and swallows what is left in
the vial, and stops the cab,
realizing that he no longer
needs to flee.
16. There was a twist that
the vial did not
contain cholera, but a
strange new microbe
the Bacteriologist had
been studying, the
only known effect of it
is to make the skin of
the animals exposed
to it turn into bright
blue.
