Zika virus is spread by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes and was first isolated in 1947 in Uganda. It causes mild symptoms like fever, rash, headache, joint pain, conjunctivitis, and muscle pain in many people. There is no specific treatment, but symptoms can be treated with rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medications. The best prevention is avoiding mosquito bites by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and sleeping in screened or air-conditioned rooms. The virus has spread from Africa and Asia to cause outbreaks in Pacific islands in 2007 and the Americas in 2015-2016.
Zika virus is a virus spread by aedes mosquito- the same mosquito that spreads dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. The virus is known to circulate in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. People with Zika virus disease usually have a mild fever, skin rash (exanthema) and conjunctivitis. These symptoms normally last for 2-7 days. There is no specific treatment or vaccine currently available. The best form of prevention is protection against mosquito bites.

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.

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.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
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.

3. Introduction
Zika virus is a member of the virus
family Flaviviridae.It is spread by
daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes, such
as A. aegypti and A. albopictus.Its name
comes from the Ziika Forest of Uganda,
where the virus was first isolated in
1947.
Zika virus shares a genus with the
dengue, yellow fever, Japanese
encephalitis, and West Nile viruses.[6]
Since the 1950s, it has been known to
occur within a narrow equatorial belt
from Africa to Asia. From 2007 to 2016,
the virus spread eastward, across the
Pacific Ocean to the Americas, leading to
the 2015–2016 Zika virus epidemic.
The infection, known as Zika fever or
Zika virus disease, often causes no or
only mild symptoms, similar to a very
mild form of dengue fever.

Colombia, the Dominican
Republic, Puerto Rico,
Ecuador, El Salvador, and
Jamaica advised women to
postpone getting pregnant
until more is known about
the risks.
• Agencies also issued similar

6. History of zika
• The rise in the spread of Zika
virus has been accompanied
by a rise in cases of
microcephaly and Guillain-
Barré syndrome. First
identified in Uganda in 1947
in monkeys, Zika was later
identified in humans in 1952.
• The first large outbreak of
disease caused by Zika
infection was reported from
the Island of Yap in 2007.
There are currently several
countries experiencing Zika
virus outbreaks.
7. History of zika
• 1947: Scientists conducting routine
surveillance for yellow fever in the Zika
forest of Uganda isolate the Zika virus
in samples taken from a captive,
sentinel rhesus monkey.
• 1948: The virus is recovered from the
mosquito Aedes africanus, caught on a
tree platform in the Zika forest.
• 1952: The first human cases are
detected in Uganda and the United
Republic of Tanzania in a study
demonstrating the presence of
neutralizing antibodies to Zika virus in
sera
• 1969–1983: The known geographical
distribution of Zika expands to
equatorial Asia, including India,
Indonesia, Malaysia and Pakistan,
where the virus is detected in
mosquitos. As in Africa, sporadic
human cases occur but no outbreaks
are detected and the disease in humans
continues to be regarded as rare, with
mild symptoms.
8. History of zika
• 2007: Zika spreads from Africa and
Asia to cause the first large
outbreak in humans on the Pacific
island of Yap, in the Federated
States of Micronesia. Prior to this
event, no outbreaks and only 14
cases of human Zika virus disease
had been documented worldwide.
• 2013–2014: The virus causes
outbreaks in four other groups of
Pacific islands: French Polynesia,
Easter Island, the Cook Islands, and
New Caledonia.26,27 The outbreak
in French Polynesia, generating
thousands of suspected infections,
is intensively investigated. The
results of retrospective
investigations are reported to WHO
on 24 November 2015 and 27
January 2016.
9. Symptoms
Many people infected with Zika
virus won’t have symptoms or
will only have mild symptoms.
The most common symptoms of
Zika are
• Fever
• Rash
• Headache
• Joint pain
• Conjunctivitis (red eyes)
• Muscle painSymptoms
10. • Many people infected with
Zika virus are asymptomatic.
Characteristic clinical findings
are acute onset of fever with
maculopapular rash,
arthralgia, or conjunctivitis.
11. Treatment
• There is no specific
treatment available for Zika
virus infection or disease.
• People with symptoms such
as rash, fever or joint pain
should get plenty of rest,
drink fluids, and treat
symptoms with antipyretics
and/or analgesics.
Nonsteroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs should
be avoided until dengue
virus infections are ruled out
because of bleeding risk.
12. Treatment
• If symptoms worsen,
patients should seek medical
care and advice.
• Pregnant women living in
areas with Zika transmission
or who develop symptoms of
Zika virus infection should
seek medical attention for
laboratory testing,
information, counselling and
other clinical care.
13. Prevention
Methods
The best protection from Zika virus
is preventing mosquito bites
indoors and outdoors,
especially from sunrise to
sunset when mosquitos are
most active.
Such measures include:
• Everyone including pregnant
and breastfeeding women,
should take steps to prevent
mosquito bites.
• When used as directed, EPA-
registered insect repellents are
proven safe and effective, even
for pregnant and breastfeeding
women.
14. • Use mosquito repellent in
accordance with the instructions
indicated on the product label.
• Wearing long-sleeved shirts and
long trousers
15. • Sleeping or resting in
screened or air-conditioned
rooms
• Using mosquito nets
