Adam and his tuba
\"Everyone in the circus loves to perform--except for Adam, the very youngest member of the Von Trapeze family. Wherever Adam Von Trapeze's family circus performs they inspire audiences with their breathtaking feats. Grandma Antonia breathes fire, Uncle Artem builds dizzying human pyramids, and Papa Alexei and Mama Anastasia dance blindfolded on the tightrope. Only Adam, the youngest of the family, doesn't show an interest in circus tricks and loud applause. The family is concerned. Where did they go wrong? But one day they are enchanted by the sound of a tuba. And from that day forward, the famous Von Trapeze family circus features a new performer--the one they never expected to be part of the family tradition\"-- Provided by publisher

A comprehensive anatomical and phylogenetic evaluation of Dilophosaurus wetherilli (Dinosauria, Theropoda) with descriptions of new specimens from the Kayenta Formation of northern Arizona
Dilophosaurus wetherilli was the largest animal known to have lived on land in North America during the Early Jurassic. Despite its charismatic presence in pop culture and dinosaurian phylogenetic analyses, major aspects of the skeletal anatomy, taxonomy, ontogeny, and evolutionary relationships of this dinosaur remain unknown. Skeletons of this species were collected from the middle and lower part of the Kayenta Formation in the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. Redescription of the holotype, referred, and previously undescribed specimens of Dilophosaurus wetherilli supports the existence of a single species of crested, large-bodied theropod in the Kayenta Formation. The parasagittal nasolacrimal crests are uniquely constructed by a small ridge on the nasal process of the premaxilla, dorsoventrally expanded nasal, and tall lacrimal that includes a posterior process behind the eye. The cervical vertebrae exhibit serial variation within the posterior centrodiapophyseal lamina, which bifurcates and reunites down the neck. Iterative specimen-based phylogenetic analyses result in each of the additional specimens recovered as the sister taxon to the holotype. When all five specimens are included in an analysis, they form a monophyletic clade that supports the monotypy of the genus. Dilophosaurus wetherilli is not recovered as a ceratosaur or coelophysoid, but is instead a non-averostran neotheropod in a grade with other stem-averostrans such as Cryolophosaurus ellioti and Zupaysaurus rougieri. We did not recover a monophyletic ‘Dilophosauridae.’ Instead of being apomorphic for a small clade of early theropods, it is more likely that elaboration of the nasals and lacrimals of stem-averostrans is plesiomorphically present in early ceratosaurs and tetanurans that share those features. Many characters of the axial skeleton of Dilophosaurus wetherilli are derived compared to Late Triassic theropods and may be associated with macropredation and an increase in body size in Theropoda across the Triassic-Jurassic boundary.

A THOMSONIAN ARGUMENT AGAINST MEDICAL MANDATES
This paper explores the parallel between Judith Jarvis Thomson's argument for abortion rights based on bodily autonomy and the contentious issue of vaccine refusal. Drawing on Thomson's famous thought experiment involving a violinist, I present analogous scenarios involving medical decisions. I argue that if Thomson's reasoning holds, individuals also possess the right to refuse vaccines, even if it entails serious risk to others. The paper underscores the importance of recognizing that medical decisions, including vaccine refusal, should be evaluated within the framework of bodily autonomy and individual rights, challenging the prevailing opinion on this complex issue.

Including Horn Players Authentically into Your School Rock/Popular Music Group: Fitting the Music to the Ensemble
In this article, the author uses first-hand experiences to help readers understand how to include horn players in their popular music groups in authentic ways. He explores informal learning, learning by ear, relinquishing control, finding music to fit the ensemble, learner choice, and other ways to present rich learning experiences. He also gives suggestions for scales to focus on that are not typically considered to be \"horn scales\" and also gives attention to how to explore theory without getting bogged down with \"right\" and \"wrong.\" Songwriting in this type of a setting, focusing on the role of the horn player specifically, is also discussed.

Applications and advancements of CRISPR-Cas in the treatment of lung cancer
Lung cancer is one of the most malignant diseases and a major contributor to cancer-related deaths worldwide due to the deficiency of early diagnosis and effective therapy that are of great importance for patient prognosis and quality of life. Over the past decade, the advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR associated protein (CRISPR/Cas) system has significantly propelled the progress of both fundamental research and clinical trials of lung cancer. In this review, we review the current applications of the CRISPR/Cas system in diagnosis, target identification, and treatment resistance of lung cancer. Furthermore, we summarize the development of lung cancer animal models and delivery methods based on CRISPR system, providing novel insights into clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies of lung cancer.

A Design of Solar-Powered Temperature Control System for Tuba Distillery
Temperature management has a big effect on how well the condensation process works, which in turn has a big effect on the quality and quantity of coconut wine production. A coconut wine company in Tayabas City is experiencing quality issues with its products and a decrease in output because it lacks a dedicated temperature controller for its condenser unit. This capstone project aimed to create a long-term solution: a solar-powered temperature control system for the condenser. In the design process, we looked at the thermal needs of the condensation process and came up with a control system that used temperature sensors driven by the Arduino Uno. A solar photovoltaic (PV) system was made to power the controller, motor, motor control system, Arduino, and battery storage system. This work was done to make sure that the system could run on its own and be good for the environment. The results show that the temperature control system correctly monitors the water temperature of the condenser. The relay goes off about 5 ms after the actual value changes to the set value (55°C > 45°C) and stops when the actual value is less than the set value (29°C < 45°C). The solar photovoltaic system produces enough voltage, with a peak of 14.6 V and an on-site test showing 14.2 V, to show that there is enough sunlight in the area to power the system. The water pump sends 40 liters of water per minute (LPM) to an 8-liter condenser for 5 seconds. This mimics the process of keeping the condensation going that is needed to make lambanog. The worker evaluations got a lot of positive feedback, with a mean score of 4.39. This result shows that people were very happy with how well the system worked and how quickly it worked. The proposed design is expected to greatly improve the consistency and quality of the coconut wine by keeping the condensation temperatures at their best levels and reducing output losses. Also, adding solar PV technology to the temperature control system makes it a long-lasting and cheap way to get energy. This reduces the system’s dependence on the electrical grid and encourages environmentally friendly production methods in the local coconut wine business.
