The document describes the water cycle, which is the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface. Water can exist in three states - liquid, solid (ice), and gas (water vapor). Heat from the sun causes evaporation of water from oceans, rivers, and lakes into water vapor in the air. The water vapor condenses to form clouds and precipitation falls as rain, snow, sleet or hail. Precipitation collects and runs off into bodies of water, where it can evaporate again and continue the cycle. The water cycle ensures a constant supply of freshwater on Earth.

Get a glass of water, fill it up, and sip. Did you know that the water you just ingested was the same water that King Tutankhamun, wooly mammoths, and the earliest humans drank? This is due to Earth recycling water

Slide 1: Title Slide
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Slide 2: Introduction to Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Definition: Extrachromosomal inheritance refers to the transmission of genetic material that is not found within the nucleus.
Key Components: Involves genes located in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and plasmids.
Slide 3: Mitochondrial Inheritance
Mitochondria: Organelles responsible for energy production.
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA): Circular DNA molecule found in mitochondria.
Inheritance Pattern: Maternally inherited, meaning it is passed from mothers to all their offspring.

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.
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.
Professional air quality monitoring systems provide immediate, on-site data for analysis, compliance, and decision-making.

(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.
2. • Water is found in three forms, or states, on Earth - solid,
liquid, and gas
• Ice is water in its solid state
• Ice forms when liquid water hits the freezing point of 32°F or
0°C.
• When heat is added to ice, it melts and changes to liquid
water.
• Water in gas form is called water vapor.
• Water vapor forms when heat is added to liquid water to a
temperature of 212°F or 100°C.
3. • The water cycle is the movement of
water into the air as water vapor
and back to Earth’s surface as
precipitation.
• The water on Earth is constantly
changing from one form to another
in a continuous cycle that occurs
over and over again.
4. • Evaporation is the change of state from a
liquid to a gas (water vapor).
• Evaporation occurs when heat is added to
a liquid.
• Water vapor is in the air, but you cannot
see it.
• In the water cycle, heat is added to water
(lakes, oceans, rivers, streams) from the
sun.
6. • When the water droplets in clouds get heavy,
they fall back to Earth as precipitation.
• Precipitation is any form of water that falls
from clouds to Earth.
• Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are all forms of
precipitation.
7. rain • Most common form of precipitation
• When drops of water fall through air that
is above freezing
snow • Falls when the temperature in a cloud is
below freezing
• Water vapor forms ice crystals called
snowflakes
sleet • Rain that freezes as it falls to Earth
hail • Forms when drops of rain freeze and
strong winds carry them higher into a cloud
8. • Collection occurs when the
precipitation falls to Earth and
collects in lakes, oceans, rivers, and
streams.
• This allows for the water cycle to
begin all over again with
evaporation.
9. •When precipitation occurs, not all
water makes it back to oceans,
lakes, streams, and rivers.
•Some water soaks into the Earth.
•This process is called infiltration.
10. •Some precipitation flows downhill
on Earth’s surface.
•This water is called runoff.
•Runoff water flows toward
streams, rivers, lakes, and
oceans.
12. •All living things need water to survive.
•The water cycle allows water to be
recycled over and over again.
•By going through the different forms of
water, it allows for us to always have
water as a natural resource on Earth.
