Coming to Terms Will Do It: Students Engaging with Climate Change Through Sensemaking and Collective Efficacy Perceptions

Within climate change instruction, effective instructional crisis communication is necessary to attain cognitive, affective, and behavioral learning outcomes so students comprehensively learn the reality and implications of this planetary crisis. I locate this learning as coming to terms with climate change. This study explores how students affectively and cognitively learned to come to terms with the immense threat of the climate crisis outside their initial exposure to climate change fear appeals communicated in their classrooms. Drawing from interviews and focus groups with college students, I found students came to terms with climate change outside their classrooms by coping with the immense threat while enacting sensemaking with their peers. These findings suggest coping and sensemaking are crucial for students to come to terms with climate change after instructor-delivered fear appeals to access the efficacy needed to face this planetary threat. Ultimately, this study advances instructional crisis communication by providing insight into student to student out-of-classroom communication and how it affects cognitive and affective learning outcomes concerning climate change.
FLAT HISTOGRAM METHOD OF WANG–LANDAU AND N-FOLD WAY

We present a method for estimating the density of states of a classical statistical model. The algorithm successfully combines the Wang–Landau flat histogram method with the N-fold way in order to improve the efficiency of the original single-spin-flip version. We test our implementation of the Wang–Landau method with the two-dimensional nearest neighbor Ising model for which we determine the tunneling time and the density of states on lattices with sizes up to 50 × 50. Furthermore, we show that our new algorithm performs correctly at right edges of an energy interval over which the density of states is computed. This removes a disadvantage of the original single-spin-flip Wang–Landau method where results showed systematically higher errors in the density of states at right boundaries. In order to demonstrate the improvements made, we compare our data with the detailed numerical tests presented in a study by Wang and Swendsen where the original Wang–Landau method was tested against various other methods, especially the transition matrix Monte Carlo method (TMMC). Finally, we apply our method to a thin Ising film of size 32 × 32 × 6 with antiparallel surface fields. With the density of states obtained from the simulations we calculate canonical averages related to the energy such as internal energy, Gibbs free energy and entropy, but we also sample microcanonical averages during simulations in order to determine canonical averages of the susceptibility, the order parameter and its fourth order cumulant. We compare our results with simulational data obtained from a conventional Monte Carlo algorithm.
Spectroscopy of Stellar‐like Objects Contained in the Second Byurakan Survey. I.

The results of spectroscopic observations of 363 starlike objects from the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) are reported. This SBS subsample has proved to be a rich source of newly identified quasars, Seyfert‐type galaxies, degenerate stars, and hot subdwarfs. In the subsample studied here, we identified 35 new QSOs, 142 white dwarfs (the majority of which, 114, are of DA type), 55 subdwarfs (29 of which are sdB‐type stars), 10 horizontal‐branch blue stars, 16 normal or horizontal‐branch stars, 54 G‐type and 25 F‐type stars, two objects with composite spectra, four cataclysmic variables, two peculiar emission‐line stars, 17 objects with continuous spectra, as well as one planetary nebula. Among the 35 QSOs, we have found two broad absorption line (BAL) QSOs, namely, SBS 1423+500 and SBS 1435+500A. Magnitudes, redshifts, and slit spectra for all QSOs, and also some typical spectra of the peculiar stars, are presented. We estimate the minimum surface density of bright QSOs in the redshift range 0.3
Comparison between Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy and Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin as an adjunct to Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial with Microbiological Assessment)

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of injectable form of PRF to antimicrobial photo dynamic therapy as an adjunctive treatment to non-surgical periodontal therapy in patients with stage III grade B periodontitis in terms of clinical improvement and antimicrobial ability. Subjects and Methods: 39 patients of each gender with age vary from 30 to 60 years diagnosed with stage III grade B periodontitis. The patients were divided randomly into three groups. (Group I) 13 patients treated by SRP (scaling and root planning) with application of i-PRF, (Group II) 13 patients treated by SRP with application of 940 nm diode laser and Indocyanine green (ICG), (Group III) treated by SRP alone as a control group. Clinical parameters such as GI (gingival index), PI (plaque index), CAL (clinical attachment level) and PD (probing depth) were recorded preoperatively and 3 months post operatively. Site-specific measure of bactericidal effect against Pg (Porphyromonas gingivalis) preoperative, 1 week postoperative and 1 month postoperative for all groups. Results: group I who receiving i-PRF resulted in a significant decrease in the percentage of Pg at the end of 1 month when compared to the other groups. Comparison of clinical parameters revealed significant differences in patients treated with aPDT in relation to GI, and CAL while i-PRF group , was better in PD at the end of the study period. Conclusion: i-PRF and aPDT may enhance the potential benefits of SRP in periodontitis patients and can be used as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
Perspectives on Reproducibility and Sustainability of Open-Source Scientific Software from Seven Years of the Dedalus Project

As the Science Mission Directorate contemplates establishing an open code policy, we consider it timely to share our experiences as the developers of the open-source partial differential equation solver Dedalus. Dedalus is a flexible framework for solving partial differential equations. Its development team primarily uses it for studying stellar and planetary astrophysics. Dedalus was developed originally for astrophysical fluid dynamics (AFD), though it has found a much broader user base, including applied mathematicians, plasma physicists, and oceanographers. Here, we will focus on issues related to open-source software from the perspective of AFD. We use the term AFD with the understanding that astrophysics simulations are inherently multi-physics: fluid dynamics coupled with some combination of gravitational dynamics, radiation transfer, relativity, and magnetic fields. In practice, a few well-known open-source simulation packages represent a large fraction of published work in the field. However, we will argue that an open-code policy should encompass not just these large simulation codes, but also the input files and analysis scripts. It is our interest that NASA adopt an open-code policy because without it, reproducibility in computational science is needlessly hampered.
Effect of potassium, microelements and seaweed extract spraying on yield and fruit quality of Balady mandarin (Citrus reticulate Blanco)

This study was carried out during three successive seasons of 2019, 2020 and 2021 on 25 years old Balady mandarin trees budded on sour orange root stock and planted at 5 x 5 m apart. The selected trees grown at the experimental orchard of Faculty of Agriculture, Assiut University Egypt. Where the soil has a clay texture and well-draining, surface irrigation was used. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of seaweed extract, potassium and micronutrients on yield and fruit quality of Balady Mandarin trees. Forty-eight healthy trees, uniform in vigor as possible were chosen. The chosen trees were divided into eight different treatments including the control. The selected trees received four sprays from each treatment at full bloom, just after fruit setting, first week of July and September. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications per treatment, two trees each. All the studied treatments significantly increased yield, fruit physical and chemical properties and decreased total acidity %. The best treatments during the three study seasons were spraying with potassium at 2% + micronutrients at 3% + seaweed extracts at 2%. According to the previous results, it could be concluded that spraying Balady mandarin trees with liquid potassium 2% + micronutrients 3% + seaweed extracts 2% four sprays at full bloom, just after fruit set, first week of July and September to measure yield and improve fruit quality.

A High‐End Estimate of Sea Level Rise for Practitioners

Sea level rise (SLR) is a long‐lasting consequence of climate change because global anthropogenic warming takes centuries to millennia to equilibrate for the deep ocean and ice sheets. SLR projections based on climate models support policy analysis, risk assessment and adaptation planning today, despite their large uncertainties. The central range of the SLR distribution is estimated by process‐based models. However, risk‐averse practitioners often require information about plausible future conditions that lie in the tails of the SLR distribution, which are poorly defined by existing models. Here, a community effort combining scientists and practitioners builds on a framework of discussing physical evidence to quantify high‐end global SLR for practitioners. The approach is complementary to the IPCC AR6 report and provides further physically plausible high‐end scenarios. High‐end estimates for the different SLR components are developed for two climate scenarios at two timescales. For global warming of +2°C in 2100 (RCP2.6/SSP1‐2.6) relative to pre‐industrial values our high‐end global SLR estimates are up to 0.9 m in 2100 and 2.5 m in 2300. Similarly, for a (RCP8.5/SSP5‐8.5), we estimate up to 1.6 m in 2100 and up to 10.4 m in 2300. The large and growing differences between the scenarios beyond 2100 emphasize the long‐term benefits of mitigation. However, even a modest 2°C warming may cause multi‐meter SLR on centennial time scales with profound consequences for coastal areas. Earlier high‐end assessments focused on instability mechanisms in Antarctica, while here we emphasize the importance of the timing of ice shelf collapse around Antarctica. This is highly uncertain due to low understanding of the driving processes. Hence both process understanding and emission scenario control high‐end SLR.
Induced instability for boson-fermion mixed condensates of alkali-metal atoms due to the attractive boson-fermion interaction

Instabilities for boson-fermion mixed condensates of trapped alkali-metal atoms due to the boson-fermion attractive interaction are studied using a variational method. A stable, metastable, and unstable region as a function of the boson-fermion interaction exists. The stability condition is obtained analytically from the asymptotic expansion of the variational total energy. The lifetime of metastable states is discussed for tunneling decay and is estimated to be very long. It suggests that, except near the instability border, metastable mixed condensate should be almost stable against tunneling decay. The critical border between metastable and unstable phases is calculated numerically and is shown to be consistent with the M\o{}lmer scaling condition.
Slater-Pauling rule and Curie temperature of Co2-based Heusler compounds

A concept is presented serving to guide in the search for materials with high spin polarization. It is shown that the magnetic moment of half-metallic ferromagnets can be calculated from the generalized Slater-Pauling rule. Furthermore, it was found empirically that the Curie temperature of Co2-based Heusler compounds can be estimated from a seemingly linear dependence on the magnetic moment. As a successful application of these simple rules, it was found that Co2FeSi is, actually, the half-metallic ferromagnet exhibiting the highest magnetic moment and the highest Curie temperature measured for a Heusler compound.
Observational signatures of microlensing in gravitational waves at LIGO/Virgo frequencies

Microlenses with typical stellar masses (a few M⊙) have traditionally been disregarded as potential sources of gravitational lensing effects at LIGO/Virgo frequencies, since the time delays are often much smaller than the inverse of the frequencies probed by LIGO/Virgo, resulting in negligible interference effects at LIGO/Virgo frequencies. While this is true for isolated microlenses in this mass regime, we show how, under certain circumstances and for realistic scenarios, a population of microlenses (for instance stars and remnants from a galaxy halo or from the intracluster medium) embedded in a macromodel potential (galaxy or cluster) can conspire together to produce time delays of order one millisecond, which would produce significant interference distortions in the observed strains. At sufficiently large magnification factors (of several hundred), microlensing effects should be common in gravitationally lensed gravitational waves. We explored the regime where the predicted signal falls in the frequency range probed by LIGO/Virgo. We find that stellar mass microlenses, permeating the lens plane, and near critical curves, can introduce interference distortions in strongly lensed gravitational waves. Lensed events with negative parity, or saddle points (which have never before been studied in the context of gravitational waves), and that take place near caustics of macromodels, are more likely to produce measurable interference effects at LIGO/Virgo frequencies. This is the first study that explores the effect of a realistic population of microlenses, including a macromodel, on strongly lensed gravitational waves.
Direct visualization of sign-reversal

 superconducting gaps in 
FeTe0.55Se0.45

In many unconventional superconductors, the pairing of electrons is driven by the repulsive interaction, which leads to the sign reversal of superconducting gaps along the Fermi surfaces (FS) or between them. However, to measure this sign change is not easy and straightforward. It is known that, in superconductors with sign reversal gaps, non-magnetic impurities can break Cooper pairs leading to the quasiparticle density of states in the superconducting state. The standing waves of these quasiparticles will interfere each other leading to the quasiparticle interference (QPI) pattern which carries the phase message reflecting also the superconducting gap structure. Based on the recently proposed defect-bound-state QPI technique, we explore the applicability of this technique to a typical iron based superconductor FeTe$_{0.55}$Se$_{0.45}$ with roughly equivalent gap values on the electron and hole pockets connected by the wave vector q_2=(0,\pi). It is found that, on the negative energy side, with the energy slightly below the gap value, the phase reference quantity $|g(q,-E)|\cos(\theta_{q,+E}-\theta_{q,-E}) becomes negative and the amplitude is strongly enhanced with the scattering vector q_2, but that corresponding to the scattering between the electron-electron pockets, namely q_3=(\pi,\pi), keeps all positive. This is well consistent with the theoretical expectation of the s^+- pairing gap and thus serves as a direct visualization of the sign reversal gaps. This experimental observation is also supported by the theoretical calculations with the Fermi surface structure and s^+- pairing gap.
EFFECT OF INCLUSION DRIED YELLOW EARTHWORM MEAL (TENEBRIO MOLITOR) ON PRODUCTIVE AND REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF JAPANESE QUAIL 1-REPLACEMENT OF BASAL DIET DURING THE GROWING PERIOD

: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of partially replacement the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio Molitor, YMW) of Japanese quail basal diet on productive performance during 1-42 days of age. Three hundred and fifty unsexed one-day-old chicks were randomly assigned to one of five food treatments (7 pens per treatment, 10 birds per pen) and reared on battery brooders in wire cages (55×50×35 cm) with individual feeders and drinks. A basal control diet (24 % crude protein, CP; 2970 Kcal/kg) was fed to the first group. The 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th treatments were supplied with YMW (2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0%, respectively), replacing the basal diet. Throughout the experimental period quails were provided feed and water ad-libitum . The results indicated that the dry matter of YMW continued 61.5% CP and 21.19 % ether exact (EE). The content of essential amino and fatty acids of YMW as a percentage of CP and EE was higher than that content on the fish and soybean meal. Replacement with 10.0% of YMW maximized both of body weight and gain and improvement the feed conversion ratio compared with control group. Increasing the replacement percentage of YMW significantly increased the carcass, meat quality, and the content of some amino acids and saturated fatty acids. The inclusion of YMW, significantly decreased total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations and the high lipoprotein concentration, biochemical and immunity statues were significantly improved. In conclusion, replacing YMW up to 10.0% of the Japanese quail diet is acceptable and has no adverse effect on growth and productive performance and immunity states.

h t t p s : / / b f s z u . j o u r n a l s . e k b . e g / j o u r n a l ABSTRACT : Essential oils are natural products with various biological characteristics caused by monoterpenes which have a high probability of producing new drugs. Carvone, monoterpenes have hypolipidemic, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and antioxidant effects. Aim: The aim of this research is to show that carvone has medicinal potential in the treatment of diabetes and hyperlipidemia in alloxan-induced diabetic rats, as well as its effect on insulin activity. Material and methods: Four groups of male albino rats were formed, each with eight rats. In Group 1, healthy rats were provided a standard chow diet and were not given any medications. To develop diabetes, the rats in the other three groups were given a single intraperitoneal administration of alloxan (120 mg/kg), followed by a two-week feeding of an atherogenic hypercholesterolemic diet. The diabetic hyperlipidemic control (DHC) group received no treatment, while the other two groups received carvone (50 mg/kg) daily for one month and a combination drug (atorvastatin 10 mg/kg and metformin100 mg/kg) daily for one month, respectively. Results: our findings show a reduction in the levels of blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, fatty acid desaturase -1(FADS-1), glucose-6-phosphate catalase -1(G6PC-1). In contrast, There was an increase in the level of insulin and Acyle-co-A oxidase-1(ACOX-1) upon administration of carvone. Immunohistochemical investigation and other results agree with biochemical indicators to a great extent. Conclusion : Carvone has anti-diabetic and anti-hyperlipidemia properties in diabetic hyperlipidemic rats by controlling essential proteins involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation (ACOX-1) incubation
TAXONOMIC REVISIONAND ANATOMICAL STUDIES OF THE GENUS AEGILOPS L. (POACEAE) WITH SECTIONAL CONFIRMATION

: Aegilops L. is a large genus of the tribe Triticeae , allied to the family Poaceae . It spreads in almost all temperate regions, mainly in the Mediterranean basin, Southwest and Central Asia. The goal of this study was to use morphometric and anatomical methodologies to reappraise the taxonomy of the genus Aegilops in Egypt. Clustering was applied to determine the relationship between seven studied species based on sectional delimitation. Results generated from principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation revealed the significance of morphometric and anatomical descriptors traits in the characterization and identification of Aegilops species. Heatmap analyses of combining morphological and anatomical data confirmed the sectional classification of the seven species.

In the n+(p+) − p(n) crystalline InP-junction solar cells, by basing on a same treatment method, and for a same heavy (low) doping effect, as those investigate in our recent papers [1, 2], but using now a new expression, obtained for the static relative dielectric constant ε rd a , determined exactly in the effective Bohr model, as that given in Eq.

Algebraic theory of linear viscoelastic nematodynamics Part 1: Algebra of nematic operators

This first part of the paper develops algebraic theory of linear anisotropic, six-parametric nematic "N-operators" build up on the additive group of traceless second rank 3D tensors. These operators have been implicitly used in continual theories of nematic liquid crystals and weakly elastic nematic elastomers. It is shown that there exists a noncommutative, multiplicative group N6 of N-operators build up on a manifold in 6D space of parameters. Positive N-operators, which in physical applications holds thermodynamic stability constraints, form a subgroup of group N6 on a more complicated manifold in parametric space. A three-parametric, commutative transversal-isotropic subgroup S3 < N6 of positive symmetric nematic operators is also briefly discussed. The special case of singular, non-negative symmetric N-operators reveals the algebraic structure of nematic soft deformation modes.
Security of two-way quantum key distribution

Quantum key distribution protocols typically make use of a one-way quantum channel to distribute a shared secret string to two distant users. However, protocols exploiting a two-way quantum channel have been proposed as an alternative route to the same goal, with the potential advantage of outperforming one-way protocols. Here we provide a strategy to prove security for two-way quantum key distribution protocols against the most general quantum attack possible by an eavesdropper. We utilize an entropic uncertainty relation, and only a few assumptions need to be made about the devices used in the protocol. We also show that a two-way protocol can outperform comparable one-way protocols.
