Combined high leaf hydraulic safety and efficiency provides drought tolerance in Caragana species adapted to low mean annual precipitation

Summary Clarifying the coordination of leaf hydraulic traits with gas exchange across closely‐related species adapted to varying rainfall can provide insights into plant habitat distribution and drought adaptation. The leaf hydraulic conductance (K leaf), stomatal conductance (g s), net assimilation (A), vein embolism and abscisic acid (ABA) concentration during dehydration were quantified, as well as pressure–volume curve traits and vein anatomy in 10 Caragana species adapted to a range of mean annual precipitation (MAP) conditions and growing in a common garden. We found a positive correlation between Ψleaf at 50% loss of K leaf (K leaf P 50) and maximum K leaf (K leaf‐max) across species. Species from low‐MAP environments exhibited more negative K leaf P 50 and turgor loss point, and higher K leaf‐max and leaf‐specific capacity at full turgor, along with higher vein density and midrib xylem per leaf area, and a higher ratio of K leaf‐max : maximum g s. Tighter stomatal control mediated by higher ABA accumulation during dehydration in these species resulted in an increase in hydraulic safety and intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) during drought. Our results suggest that high hydraulic safety and efficiency combined with greater stomatal sensitivity triggered by ABA production and leading to greater WUEi provides drought tolerance in Caragana species adapted to low‐MAP environments.

Chemical defects control the exciton lifetime in CVD grown, few-layer MoTe2

The dominant exciton decay mechanisms of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown, few-layer MoTe2 are investigated by measuring and statistically analyzing its ultrafast, optical transient reflectivity dynamics under different pump excitation energies, fluences and temperatures. Defect interaction controls the ultrafast exciton decay pathways. Weak intralayer bonding in few-layer, CVD MoTe2 causes it to have a greater defect density than in other mechanically exfoliated 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. Direct charge carrier occupation of trap states is thought to cause an additional transient feature on the A′ exciton which is not present in the absorption spectrum. Additionally, long-term ambient air exposure does not significantly affect few-layer MoTe2 exciton decay time and absorption peak shape, increasing this material’s suitability for many technological applications.
UPPER-SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ APPROACHES TO SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS IN AN EXAMINATION DRIVEN CURRICULUM CONTEXT

This research explored upper-secondary school students’ approaches when they engage in planning and conducting science experiments. Approaches to science experiments are important because they provide insight into students’ scientific reasoning and their enactment of scientific methods. An explanatory mixed-methods design was employed to determine and explain students’ approaches to science experiments. Data were generated by administering a 15-item Approaches to Science Experiments Questionnaire (ASEQ) on 211 participants and interviewing a smaller sample of 33. The linear approach was predominant while the divergent approach was least adopted by the participants. The teaching-learning context, substantive and procedural knowledge lead to specific approaches and the emergence of subcategories of the three broad approaches. Capable students engaged in a self-directed iterative approach while external help resulted in an assisted iterative approach. Rigid and contrived linear approaches were a result of time constraints, substantive and procedural shortcomings. Scattergun and blanking divergent approaches emerged from extreme weaknesses in substantive and procedural knowledge. Assessing practical skills through long-term projects is recommended to focus more on developing students’ scientific reasoning and process skills. Research with the ASEQ in other teaching-learning cultures, observing students in action and analysing their write-ups could provide deeper insights into approaches to science experiments. Keywords: science experiments, divergent approach, iterative approach, linear approach, mixed methods.

The effect of the flipped classroom approach and self-efficacy on a guided inquiry on students' creative thinking skills

This study aims to look at the effect of the flipped classroom approach on the guided inquiry model and student's self-efficacy on creative thinking skills on the reaction rate material. The study was conducted in class XI MIA SMA N 3 Jambi City with a 2 x 2 factorial design and the sample consisted of 2 classes chosen randomly. Data collection using test techniques, namely essay tests, includes indicators of creative thinking and non-tests, namely self-efficacy questionnaire data and field notes during the study. Analysis of the data used is 2-way ANOVA. The results showed that guided inquiry learning with the flipped classroom approach and high self-efficacy categories had high creative thinking abilities, but there is no interaction between learning models with self-efficacy towards creative thinking abilities on the reaction rate material because learning models and self-efficacy affect the results of students' creative thinking abilities independently. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded: (1) There is an influence of the flipped classroom approach on the guided inquiry model of students 'creative thinking abilities on the reaction rate material (2) There is an effect of students' self-efficacy on the ability to think creatively on the material reaction rate (3) There was no interaction between the learning model and students' self-efficacy.

The Use of Rice Husk Silica in Modified Zinc Oxide Photocatalysts to Reduce Chromium Concentration

Rice husk ash contains approximately 90-98% dry weight of silica and they have been reported to have several advantages compared to mineral silica. One of these is its application as a filler in ZnO photocatalysts using the sol-gel method. This study was, therefore, conducted to determine the effect of adding rice husk silica to increase the ability of ZnO/SiO 2 photocatalyst to reduce chromium concentration. Meanwhile, a previous effort has been made to degrade methylene blue dyes by 89%. This current research involved preparing rice husk charcoal using pyrolysis tubes after which they were extracted to produce silica while ZnO/SiO 2 composites were made at a 95/5, 90/10, and 85/15 (w/w) ratio and composite activity test was conducted to determine its ability to reduce chromium concentration from practicum discharge. The SEM-EDS results showed the formation of SiO 2 composites in ZnO while 82.6% decrease in total chromium concentration from waste was obtained after 2 hours irradiation with 95/5 composites using ultraviolet radiation.
Temporal stability of cavity‐nesting bee and wasp communities in different types of reforestation in southeastern Amazonia

Global initiatives to recover degraded areas have intensified in recent years. However, the effectiveness of different reforestation practices in restoring habitat stability and essential resources for species over time is poorly known. We tested the degree of temporal stability of bee and wasp communities reestablishiment in different types of forest regeneration compared to intact primary forest in southern Amazonia. Using trap‐nest sampling, we collected, during 12 months, information about the nesting species in six different types of treatments: pastures, teak reforestation, fig and mixed native species, natural regeneration forest, and forest primary. We observed that in all reforested treatments, the abundance and richness of both bees and wasps were greater than in pasture sites. However, not all reforestation strategies had the same degree of effectiveness in maintaining the stability of bee and wasp communities over time than observed in primary forest communities. The high temporal variation in teak structure promoted high instability in bee and wasp communities over time. In contrast, reforestation using perennial species, such as fig or mixed species, resulted in a greater temporal stability of bee and wasp communities, although dissimilarity to primary forest remained high. Communities in natural regeneration were the most similar to primary forest, with high similarity of species composition and high temporal stability across seasons. Our findings suggest that reforestation strategies that promote increased complexity of vegetation structure, and better resemble “natural” forests in the provision of habitat resources throughout the year, will better restore and maintain communities through time.

Coupling wavelet transform with multivariate adaptive regression spline for simulating suspended sediment load: Independent testing approach

ABSTRACT Accurate prediction of suspended sediment load (SSL) of a river is very important as it directly affects the performance of the corresponding hydraulic structures. SSL can give valuable information on the catchment erodibility and deposition of the sediment being produced through scouring phenomenon. Despite the hydraulic approaches for studying the scouring/sedimentation processes in streams, hydrologic approaches may provide valuable information about SSL deposition magnitudes as well as its temporal distribution in relation with the streamflow power. A hydrologic-based approach through coupling the wavelet-based processed signals and multi adaptive regression spline (WMARS) methodology is suggested in the present paper for the first time to predict SSL values of rivers using the simultaneous streamflow and SSL records. The developed models were assessed through the most powerful k-fold testing data scanning procedure. The obtained results showed the superiority of the proposed hybrid WMARS models over the single MARS and traditional sediment rating curve techniques. Due to the presence of hysteresis effects during the study periods, adaptation of k-fold testing assessment approach is very necessary to get better insight about the models performances.

Our study revealed that Problematic use of mobile phone (PUMP) was more in males compare to females. And students aged 20 years belonging to the 3 rd year were the once who had the highest PUMP score, lowest PUMP score was seen in the students in 4 th year. Mobile phone use habits like mobile phone screen time ≥ 3 hours and whats app and Youtube users had the highest significant score of problematic mobile phone usage. The study also shows that Problematic mobile phone usage has an association with adverse effect on Physical and Mental health, Depression and Anxiety. So, we conclude that awareness should be spread about Problematic mobile phone usage so that its adverse effects on Physical and mental health can be prevented.
Influence of ontogenetic stages and seasonality on the diet of the longtail knifefish Sternopygus macrurus (Gymnotiformes, Sternopygidae) in a large Neotropical river

ABSTRACT The longtail knifefish Sternopygus macrurus is widely distributed in Neotropical regions, but because of its activity pattern, low recruitment, and ability to hide make it difficult to capture. Records of this species are rarely included in natural history and ecology studies. We studied the influence of both ontogenetic stages and seasonality on the diet of S. macrurus in the São Francisco River, using structure and proprieties trophic webs analysis. A total of 11 items were identified in the diet of 62 S. macrurus specimens: eight in juveniles, 10 in adults, 10 in the dry season, and eight in the rainy season. The trophic webs produced for adults and for the rainy season were more complex, showing a greater number of nodes, links, and link densities in relation to juveniles and for the dry season. However, Decapoda (i.e. freshwater shrimp) was the most important food item regardless of ontogenetic stage or season. This contrasts with previous reports of a predominantly piscivorous diet in S. macrurus. We have identified food plasticity for S. macrurus, suggesting that this species is opportunistic.

Tectonics of the Asela‐Langano Margin, Main Ethiopian Rift (East Africa)

We provide insights into the tectonics of the Asela‐Langano margin, at the eastern boundary of the central Main Ethiopian Rift, East Africa, by combining field structural data, remote sensing, analysis of the distribution of faults, new dating of faulted material, and analysis of seismicity. The area is characterized by the occurrence of two fault sets: boundary and axial (Wonji) faults, oriented NE‐SW and NNE‐SSW, respectively. Boundary faults show a complex arrangement in the lake Langano area where they display a rhomboidal pattern, due to the presence of NW‐SE‐trending structures, likely related to preexisting transverse fabrics (the so‐called Langano Rhomboidal Fault System). Overall, our analysis supports a structure of the margin characterized by a monocline affected by a series of minor horsts and grabens; this confirms a marked asymmetry of the central Main Ethiopian Rift, with a master fault system on the opposite, western margin. Cumulative paleostress analysis indicates an overall N115°E extension across the Asela‐Langano margin; however, a local variation of the extension direction from axial (Wonji) faults (∼N90°E) to the boundary faults (∼N115°E) can be observed, pointing to a stress reorientation at rift margins. New 14C dating of faulted material and seismicity analysis indicate Late Pleistocene–Holocene and current activity on several normal faults affecting the margin. This suggests that extensional deformation in the central Main Ethiopian Rift is accommodated at the rift margins, with subordinate activity on axial faults, supporting that this rift sector reflects an intermediate stage of rift evolution.
NEGATING THE ROLE OF INSTITUTIONS IN THE LONG RUN GROWTH OF AN OIL PRODUCING COUNTRY

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a dominant oil sector. It is assumed that enormous oil revenues put a curse of poor economic growth in predominantly natural resource based economy and the country becomes a rentier state. The study attempts to estimate the relationship between economic growth, oil rents and institutional quality. The study finds a cointegrating relationship between the variables. The study argues that the country is not experiencing the phenomenon of resource curse as oil rents are not negatively impacting economic growth in the long run. Using non linear ARDL method the study reports a higher rate of growth to a positive shock in oil rents as compare to negative shocks in oil rents. This hints at the resilience of the country as the country’s growth rate is less effected with the fall in oil rents. It is also assumed that mere rent seeking economies tend to have poor quality of institutions. The study finds no significant relationship between institutional quality and the rate of growth for the country. Finally, the study recommends increasing the level of economic diversification and developing the quality of institutions.
