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.
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 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.
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.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

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.

OBJECTIVE

To find out the horizontal

INTRODUCTION
Earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the
magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior to where it
meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from
the Sun. Its magnitude at the Earth's surface ranges from 25 to 65
microteslas (0.25 to 0.65 gauss).Roughly speaking it is the field of a
magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 10 degrees with
respect to Earth's rotational axis, as if there were a bar magnet
placed at that angle at the center of the Earth. Unlike a bar magnet,
however, Earth's magnetic field changes over time because it is
generated by a geodynamic (in Earth's case, the motion of molten
iron alloys in its outer core).
The North and South magnetic poles wander widely, but sufficiently
slowly for ordinary compasses to remain useful for navigation.
However, at irregular intervals averaging several hundred thousand
years, the Earth's field reverses and the North and South Magnetic
Poles relatively abruptly switch places. These reversals of the
geomagnetic poles leave a record in rocks that are of value to
paleomagnetists in calculating geomagnetic fields in the past. Such
information in turn is helpful in studying the motions of continents
and ocean floors in the process of plate tectonics.
The magnetosphere is the region above the ionosphere and extends
several tens of thousands of kilometers into space, protecting the
Earth from the charged particles of the solar wind and cosmic rays
that would otherwise strip away the upper atmosphere, including
9. Page 8 of 19
the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet
radiation.
Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose
charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that
protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping
mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field,
which are ripped off by solar winds.
The intensity of the field is often measured in gauss (G), but is
generally reported innanoteslas (nT), with 1 G = 100,000 nT. A
nanotesla is also referred to as a gamma (γ).The tesla is the SI unit of
the Magnetic field, B. The field ranges between approximately
25,000 and 65,000 nT (0.25–0.65 G).
Near the surface of the Earth, its magnetic field can be closely
approximated by the field of a magnetic dipole positioned at the
center of the Earth and tilted at an angle of about 10° with respect
to the rotational axis of the Earth. The dipole is roughly equivalent
10. Page 9 of 19
to a powerful bar magnet, with its South Pole pointing towards the
geomagnetic North Pole. The north pole of a magnet is so defined
because, if allowed to rotate freely, it points roughly northward (in
the geographic sense). Since the north pole of a magnet attracts the
south poles of other magnets and repels the north poles, it must be
attracted to the south pole

ABOUT THE TOPIC
Tangent Galvanometer
A tangent galvanometer is an early measuring instrument used for
the measurement of electric current. It works by using
a compass needle to compare a magnetic field generated by the
unknown current to the magnetic field of the Earth. It gets its name
from its operating principle, the tangent law of magnetism, which
states that the tangent of the angle a compass needle makes is
proportional to the ratio of the strengths of the two perpendicular
magnetic fields. It was first described by Claude Pouillet in 1837.
A tangent galvanometer consists of a coil of insulated copper wire
wound on a circular non-magnetic frame. The frame is mounted
vertically on a horizontal base provided with leveling screws. The
coil can be rotated on a vertical axis passing through its centre. A
compass box is mounted horizontally at the centre of a circular
scale. It consists of a tiny, powerful magnetic needle pivoted at the
centre of the coil. The magnetic needle is free to rotate in the
horizontal plane. The circular scale is divided into four quadrants.
Each quadrant is graduated from 0° to 90°. A long thin aluminium
pointer is attached to the needle at its centre and at right angle to it.
To avoid errors due to parallax, a plane mirror is mounted below
the compass needle.
In operation, the instrument is first rotated until the magnetic field
of the Earth, indicated by the compass needle, is parallel with the
12. Page 11 of 19
plane of the coil. Then the unknown current is applied to the coil.
This creates a second magnetic field on the axis of the coil,
perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field. The compass needle
responds to the vector sum of the two fields, and deflects to an
angle equal to the tangent of the ratio of the two fields. From the
angle read from the compass's scale, the current could be found
from a table.[2] The current supply wires have to be wound in a
small helix, like a pig's tail, otherwise the field due to the wire will
affect the compass needle and an incorrect reading will be obtained.
A tangent galvanometer can also be used to measure the magnitude
of the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field. When used
in this way, a low-voltage power source, such as a battery, is
connected in series with a rheostat, the galvanometer, and ammeter.
The galvanometer is first aligned so that the coil is parallel to the
geomagnetic field, whose direction is indicated by the compass
when there is no current through the coils. The battery is then
connected and the rheostat is adjusted until the compass needle
deflects 45 degrees from the geomagnetic field, indicating that the
magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the coil is the same
as that of the horizontal component of the geomagnetic field. This
field strength can be calculated from the current as measured by the
ammeter, the number of turns of the coil, and the radius of the coils.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
When a bar magnet is suspended in two magnetic fields B and Bh, it
comes to rest making an angle θ with the direction of Bh.
14. Page 13 of 19
From Figure B = Bh tanθ. This is known as tangent law of magnetism.
If θ is the deflection of the needle, then according to tangent law,
B = Bh tanθ (1)
Let I be the current passing through the coil of radius a with n turns, then the
magnetic field generated by the current carrying coil is,
B = µ0nI/2a (2) (a is the radius of the coil)
Equating (1) and (2), we get,
Bh tanθ = µ0nI/2a (3)
2aBh/µ0n = I/tanθ (4)
The left hand side of equation (4) is a constant and is called the reduction
factor K of the given Tangent Galvanometer.
K = I/tanθ (5)
Now from the equation (3) & (5), the horizontal intensity of Earth’s
magnetic field Bh is,
Bh = µ0nK/2a (6)
APPLICATIONS
Tangent Galvanometer can be used to measure the magnitude of the
horizontal component of the geomagnetic field.
The principle can be used to compare the galvanometer constants.

Apparatus

Principle&Formulae
The reduction factor of T.G is K=I/tanθ, where I is the current
flowing through the T.G which produces the deflection θ.
The horizontal intensity of Earth’s magnetic field at a place. Bh
= µ0nK/2r, where n is the number of turns of the coil, µ0 =
4π×10-7 NA-2 is the permeability of free space, K is the reduction
factor of the T.G and r is the radius of the coil of the T.G.
16. Page 15 of 19
Procedure
The circuit is made as shown in the diagram. The
plane of the coil is made vertical by adjusting the leveling screws.
The plane of the coil is made by adjusting the leveling screws. The
plane of the coil is made parallel to (90-90) in the compass box. The
whole T.G is rotated to read (0-0) at the ends of the aluminum
pointer. Now the plane of the coil is in the magnetic meridian.
The Commutator keys are put. The rheostat
should be adjusted for deflection in T.G between 10 and 60. For a
current I, the deflections of the pointer θ1 & θ2 are noted. The
Commutator is reversed. The deflections of the pointer θ3 & θ4 are
noted. The average of the four readings is the deflection θ. From the
theory of the T.G, I=K tanθ.
By varying the current the experiment is repeated.
Using a string the circumference of the coil is measured. Hence its
radius r is found. Let n be the number of turns of the coil. The
horizontal intensity at the place is given by, Bh = µ0nK/2r
