Authors:   The Table and Food Coordinate Society of Korea, Shin Jin-Ho , Hong Sung-Hwa , Shin Dong-Jin
Published: November 2024

This study examined how learners' perceived quality of educational service affected their learning flow and satisfaction in specialty coffee training institutions. This study established a model based on six research hypotheses derived from theoretical review to achieve the research objectives. Data, collected from 400 students who experience in a coffee training institution located in Busan, were used to test the hypotheses and research model. First, the quality of educational service had a positive and significant effect on learning flow, while the quality of administrative service did not. Second, facility service among the dimensions of educational service quality had insignificant effect on learning flow. Third, learning flow had a positive and significant effect on learning satisfaction. Fourth, learning flow had an indirect positive effect on learning satisfaction. The exception to this was in the role of administrative services in the relationship between educational service quality and learning satisfaction. Fifth, SCA image did not have moderating effect on the relationship between educational service quality and learning flow. Sixth, SCA image had a significant moderating effect on quality of facility services. For specific examination of the influence of educational service quality on learners in coffee training institutions, these findings provide practical suggestions on the relationship between learning flow, learning satisfaction, and SCA image. The findings also contributes to the development of the service field.

This study aims to investigate the effect of consumer environmental consciousness on consumption efficacy and additional payment intention. Environmental consciousness consists of environmental knowledge and environmental concerns, while consumption efficacy and additional payment intention are composed of uni-dimension. A questionnaire made by using Google Forms was distributed to foodservice consumers who are selected by utilizing the snow sampling method. The online link was distributed between April 3, 2024 and April 19, 2024. Two hundred sixty-seven questionnaires were collected and used for empirical analysis. The results of this study found that (1) environmental knowledge and environmental concerns had a positive effect on consumption efficacy; (2) consumption efficacy had a positive effect on the additional payment intention; and (3) environmental knowledge and concerns had a positive effect on additional payment intention. Therefore, all hypotheses were supported. The results of this study can be used in the development of environmental foodservice marketing strategies.

The scope of the reaction has been explored on polyfunctionalized alkenes (including sensitive cyclobutenes, steroids and glycals), aryls and heteroaryls.
Integrating Self-initialized Local Thermalizing Lindblad Operators for Variational Quantum Algorithm with Quantum Jump: Implementation and Performance
Authors: LAN ZHIHAO , Liang Wanzhen
Published: November 2024

Quantum computing holds great potential for simulating quantum systems, such as molecular systems, due to its inherent ability to represent and manipulate quantum states. However, simulating nonunitary dynamics of open quantum systems on a quantum computer is still challenging. Here, we present a scheme denoted as VQS-QJ-LTLME, which adopts the trajectory average of quantum jump Monte Carlo wave function variational evolution to evolve the system's density matrix and local thermalizing Lindblad operators to describe the system-environment interactions. This combination allows the quantum circuit to be initialized after a period of evolution, thereby eliminating the accumulation of errors. The VQS-QJ-LTLME algorithm requires only log_2 qubits for system size $n$ and holds a time complexity of O(Tn^3), making it particularly suitable for operation on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. To accelerate the Monte Carlo sampling process in VQS-QJ-LTLME, we introduce an efficient sampling method, named No-evolution sampling (NES). The VQS-QJ-LTLME aided by NES requires simulating only (n^3+1) trajectories on quantum computers, and then makes 10^6 ~ 10^7 samplings on classical computers in a few seconds. To demonstrate the performance of the VQS-QJ-LTLME algorithm, we simulate the dynamics of a two-level spin-boson model and a four-level reduced Fenna-Matthews-Olson system with real superconducting quantum computers and classical simulators. It is shown that the simulations produced by VQS-QJ-LTLME algorithm align closely with those obtained from the purely classical methods.
Exploring the Synthesis and Properties of Fluorinated Cationic Triangulenes and Their Precursors
Authors: Kaur Ramandeep , Moutet Jules , Gianetti Thomas L.
Published: November 2024

Fluorination of tris(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-methylium ((DMP)3C+) was achieved through the partial defluorination of the methyl 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoate via nucleophilic aromatic substitution. Using the fluorinated 2F((DMP)3C+) as a precursor, fluorinated tetramethoxy- and dimethoxyquin- acridinium salts (2F4 and 2F5 respectively) and trioxo-, azadioxo-, and diazaoxo- triangulenium salts (2F6, 2F7 and 2F8 respectively) were synthesized successfully in good to moderate yields. Fluorination induced significant red shifts in absorption (16 to 29 nm) and emission (13 to 41 nm) maxima, and increased electrophilicity as evidenced by lower reduction potentials. X-ray structural analysis showed distinct packing patterns compared to the non-fluorinated analogues, indicating the presence of molecular dipoles.
Deep Learning Assisted Proton Pure Shift NMR Spectroscopy
Authors: Kakita Veera Mohana Rao , Hansen D. Flemming
Published: November 2024

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) plays a key role for the analysis of a plethora of molecules, including natural products and drug-like organic molecules. For such cases 1H NMR spectra have proven imperative because of their high sensitivity. However, these spectra are complicated by complex multiplet patterns that, although important for the analysis, lead to substantial overlap. Here we show a deep-learning approach, which transforms spin-echo modulated 1H NMR spectra into highly sensitive and high-resolution singlet NMR spectra, that is, virtual homonuclear decoupled pure shift spectra. The approach was evaluated on experimental NMR spectra of complex organic compounds, where it outperforms current methods. The method also predicts uncertainties of the transformation and therefore allows for quantifications. We believe that our approach will provide significant advantages when characterizing low sensitivity samples, where no signals are observed in traditional pure-shift spectra and strong overlaps are hampering analysis from conventional spectra.
Quantum Tunneling of 7Li Spins in Argyrodite-Type Solids
Authors: Wilkening H. Martin R.
Published: November 2024

The irregular movement of atoms or ions, known as self-diffusion, is a widespread phenom-enon in solids. In crystalline Li6.6P0.4Ge0.6S5I, the triplet arrangements within the Li-rich cag-es allow for ultrafast localized Li+ exchange processes. This feature leads us to consider whether, in addition to classical over-barrier hopping, quantum effects — commonly ob-served for electrons, protons, and deuterons — should also be taken into account for the heavier 7Li nuclei. To explore this hypothesis, we investigated 7Li spin fluctuations using nu-clear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation (SLR) measurements at cryogenic temperatures, down to T = 9 K. Our findings reveal signatures in the SLR NMR data that we attribute to (coherent) quantum tunneling of the Li spins within the triplet arrangement. These insights not only enhance our understanding of atomic jump processes but also sug-gest potential future quantum applications involving 7(6)Li+ tunneling.
Revisiting the Enhanced Chemical Reactivity in Water Microdroplets: The Case of a Diels-Alder Reaction
Authors: Gong Ke , Nandy Abhijit , Song Zhexuan , Li Quan-Song , Hassanali Ali , Cassone Giuseppe , Banerjee Shibdas , Xie Jing
Published: November 2024

Often, chemical reactions are markedly accelerated in microdroplets compared to the corresponding bulk-phase. While identifying the precise causative factors remains challenging, the interfacial electric field (IEF) and partial solvation are the two widely proposed factors, accounting for the acceleration or turning on many reactions in microdroplets. In sharp contrast, this combined computational and experimental study demonstrates that these two critical factors have negligible effect on promoting a model Diels-Alder (DA) reaction between cyclopentadiene and acrylonitrile in water microdroplets. Instead, the acceleration of the DA reaction appears to be driven by the effect of confinement and the concentration increase caused by evaporation. Quantum chemical calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations coupled with enhanced sampling techniques predict that the air-water interface exhibits a higher free-energy barrier of this reaction than the bulk, while external electric fields marginally reduce the barrier. Remarkably, the catalytic capability of the IEF at the water microdroplet surface is largely hampered by its fluctuating character. Mass spectrometric assessment of the microdroplet reaction corroborate these findings, suggesting that the DA reaction is not facilitated by the IEF as increasing the spray potential suppresses the DA products by promoting substrate oxidation. While the DA reaction exhibits a surface preference in water microdroplets, the same reaction tends to occur mainly within the core of the acetonitrile microdroplet, suggesting the partial solvation is not necessarily a critical factor for accelerating this reaction in microdroplets. Moreover, experiments indicate that the rapid evaporation of microdroplets and the subsequent reagent enrichment within the accessible confined volume of microdroplets caused the observed acceleration of the DA reaction in water microdroplets.

Authors: Gulati Harsh , Rana Sarita
Published: November 2024

In this study, we investigated various nest characteristics and breeding success of Indian Sarus Crane Antigone antigone (Linnaeus) in three different habitats at Dhanauri wetland, Uttar Pradesh, from June 2018 to October 2019. Fourteen nests were studied from nest building to hatching during the study period. The average nest height was 144.99Â±4.40 cm (mean Â± standard error), 104.38Â±2.86 cm, and 112.93Â±2.44 cm in the perennial wetland (n=7), agricultural marshland (n=4), and village pond (n=3). Nests height from the ground level was positively correlated (R2=0.81) to water depth. The breeding success was maximum in the nests of village pond (50.0%), followed by agricultural marshland (25.0%) and perennial wetland (15.3%). However, the level of disturbance was also more in the village pond compared to the agricultural marshland and perennial wetland. Our study suggested that Sarus Crane is able to tolerate human disturbance and breed successfully in such habitats.

Authors: Naskar Anindya , Alam Imran , Majumder Amitava , Maheswaran Gopinathan
Published: November 2024

Of the 271 species of birds recorded previously from the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKW), only 162 species have been sighted continually during the last decade and 109 species become locally extinct, majority of which are water birds. Surveys were conducted in and around EKW to assess the impact of developmental activities on the avian diversity, especially on the recently rediscovered Blue-breasted Quail population. We used Land Use Land Cover analyses to ascertain the recent changes that have happened to the areas around Baruipur wetlands where the quails have been recorded recently and found Build-up areas have increased since 2009 resulting in land use changes for human related activities by potentially threatening whole population of Blue-breasted Quail, which is the largest recorded breeding population of this species from India in recent time. Hence, the study is important for the conservation of the species.

Authors: Ganesh S. R. , Channakeshava Murthy B. H.
Published: November 2024

The systematics of the shield tail snake genus Teretrurus is reassessed, involving a range-wide sampling, from Wayanad to Agasthyamalai in the Western Ghats. Based on published genetic differences, geographical-correlation, differences in scalation and subtle colour characters that are consistent in the freshly studied/collected specimens and in historical literature (by Boulenger), two subjective junior synonyms Teretrurus hewstoni and T. travancoricus are herein revived from T. sanguineus (which is re-appraised in a strict sense). Re-examination of the holotype of Plectrurus scabricauda confirms its synonymy with T. sanguineus. Drawing on published phylogenetic position and previous taxonomic treatment (by Smith), Brachyophidium rhodogaster is allocated to the genus Teretrurus. A revised key to the genus Teretrurus is presented.

Improving Student’s Creative Thinking Skills using the Case Based Learning (CBL) Model assisted by Virtual Laboratory Media on Optical Materials
Authors: Muhyi Abdul , Windrawan I Gede , Astra I Made
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The research aimed to assess the improvement of students' creative thinking skills through the implementation of the Case Based Learning (CBL) model, supported by a Virtual Laboratory, in the topic of Optics. The method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) involving 41 students from class XI MIPA 6 at SMA Negeri 6, Kabupaten Tangerang. The research was designed in three cycles, each consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The results indicated that the application of the CBL model, assisted by the Virtual Laboratory, significantly enhanced students' creative thinking abilities. The average percentage of students categorized as "Highly Creative" increased from 12.1% in the first cycle, to 29.2% in the second cycle, and reached 58.04% in the third cycle. Meanwhile, the percentage of students in the "Not Creative" category decreased from 24.3% in the first cycle, to 9.7% in the second cycle, and dropped to 0% in the third cycle. These findings suggest that integrating the CBL model with a virtual laboratory is not only effective in boosting creative thinking skills but also in deepening students' understanding of physics concepts visually. The implications of this research indicate that the use of Virtual Laboratory within the CBL model provides a strong framework for innovative teaching practices in physics education, which can enhance the effectiveness of learning and student motivation.

This research aims to provide an overview and determine the influence of ISLE (Investigative Science Learning Environment) based STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) physics learning on students' understanding of physics concepts. This research is a quantitative descriptive study using the one group pretest-posttest method. The population in this study were students of class XI Science at MAN Ende for the 2024/2025 academic year and the sample was students of class. Sampling in this research used purposive sampling technique. The data collection method consists of administering tests and LKPD. The data obtained from the research sample was in the form of test scores on students' understanding of physics concepts on global warming materials. Normality test and t-test are the data analysis techniques used. From the results of data analysis, it is known that ISLE based STEM physics learning has an effect on students' ability to understand physics concepts according to the One-Sample Test carried out with sig. (One-Sided p) is 0.001 < 0.05. Students' ability to understand physics concepts increased after implementing ISLE-based STEM physics learning with an average pretest score of 57.119 and an average posttest of 89.381 with the difference between the posttest and pretest scores being 32.252 points. While working on the LKPD students are more active in working with their team in solving problems and students are trained to understand the procedures for working on them. Apart from that, by implementing this learning, it can encourage students to hone their own thinking patterns so that they are able to explain the students' own understanding of physics concepts based on what they have observed and understood.
