Authors: Sirwa . A. Qadir  , C. N. Fathulla  
Published: February 2024

Nickel is an essential nutrient for plant growth with low concentrations, its excessive amounts in soil above threshold values could be cause in toxicity. The main objectives of the present research were to determine the effects of nickel nanoparticles foliar spray with 20, 40 and 70 nm diameter on the physiological characters and anatomical aspects of Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants. Lowest reduction significantly (P < 0.01) in root and shoot biomass was recorded due to in 70 nm; the measurements 0.08 and 0.05 g per plant and highest root: shoot; 0.65 as compared with control treatment. As well as the lowest conserved water content; 40% was observed in size 70 nm. While in size 40 nm Nickle nanoparticles increased chlorophyll a, b, total and carotenoids pigment contents. When the nickel nanoparticles size increased, the shoot and root tissue Ni concentrations also increased. However, the rate of Ni in root was greater than that observed in the shoot. While the Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn levels decreased due to applying nickel nanoparticles. The size of nanoparticles effects on the anatomical characteristics or structures such as stem, and leaf, also effects on the size of stomata.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of silver zeolite (SZ) on hematological parameters and survival rate in common carp, Cyprinus carpio infected with Saprolegnia spp. A total of 120 fish (weight 100 g) were divided into six treated groups in duplicate (10 fish/tank) as follows: T1, T2, T3 and T4 that infected with Saprolegnia spp. (2×104 zoospore/ml) and treated with SZ at (100,200 and 300 mg/l) while T4 infected with Saprolegnia spp. and treated with copper sulfate )5g/100 L(; C+ group, fish were infected with Saprolegnia without treatment and C- served as control negative group. Following 14 days from infection with Saprolegnia spp. and treatment with SZ, considerable changes were observed in blood indices. In pre-treatment, results showed a significant increased (P≤0.05) in WBC count in all infected fish (C+, T1, T2,T3 and T4) in comparison to C- group. RBC, Hb content and PCV% registered a significantly decreased (P≤0.05) in all infected fish (C+,T1, T2,T3 and T4) relative to the control group (C-). Post treatment, WBC registered significantly decreased in treated groups (T1,T2,T3 and T4) compared to C+ in WBC count. The best survival was recorded in T3 (85%) followed by T2 and T1 (65%, and 60%) respectively. In conclusion Silver zeolite seems to be a valuable disinfectant agent against Saprolegnia spp.; at the dose of 300 mg/l.

La natura ci parla della bellezza, di un mondo che esiste e vive sotto il segno della complessità. Ma sebbene la natura sia diventata un totem ideologico davanti al quale immolare le nostre ansie e paure più profonde, è assente l’idea che il degrado ambientale sia in qualche modo legato al degrado della nostra anima.

Systemic reviews: Financing of higher education internationalisation
Authors: Liu Ti , Hassan Aminuddin , Mohd Anuar Mohd Ashraff Bin 
Published: February 2024

The global higher education landscape has witnessed an increasing trend towards internationalisation in recent years; hence the demand for funding such endeavours has grown significantly. However, funding internationalisation efforts can be a challenging task for institutions. This review discusses various funding models for higher education internationalisation and the challenges posed by insufficient funding. This will be followed by a discussion on the following models: government funding, private philanthropy, corporate sponsorship, and partnerships with foreign universities, the role of tuition fees in funding internationalisation, and the challenges posed. Ultimately, this paper will propose a framework for funding that is based on an analysis of successful internationalisation strategies from around the world and intends to guide various funding bodies on how to best allocate resources for this purpose. By implementing this framework, countries shall overcome financial constraints that limit the extent to which internationalisation can be pursued, while also ensuring that the benefits of such efforts are shared equitably across their populations. This paper also explores the challenges facing the higher education internationalisation and the hurdles present in the funding process. A successful example in China has been studied thoroughly. This paper argues that while there is no one-size-fits-all approach to funding internationalisation efforts, a diversified funding approach that leverages various funding models can help institutions overcome funding challenges and achieve their internationalisation goals.
Model Spectrum of Ultrahigh-energy Cosmic Rays Accelerated in FR-I Radio Galaxy Jets
Authors: Seo Jeongbhin , Ryu Dongsu , Kang Hyesung 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Nearby radio galaxies (RGs) of Fanaroff–Riley Class I (FR-I) are considered possible sites for the production of observed ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Among those, some exhibit blazar-like inner jets, while others display plume-like structures. We reproduce the flow dynamics of FR-I jets using relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. Subsequently, we track the transport and energization of cosmic ray (CR) particles within the simulated jet flows using Monte Carlo simulations. The key determinant of flow dynamics is the mean Lorentz factor of the jet-spine flow, 〈Γ〉spine. When 〈Γ〉spine ≳ 6, the jet spine remains almost unimpeded, but for 〈Γ〉spine ≲ 3, substantial jet deceleration occurs. CRs gain energy mainly through diffusive shock acceleration for E ≲ 1 EeV and shear acceleration for E ≳ 1 EeV. The time-asymptotic energy spectrum of CRs escaping from the jet can be modeled by a double power law, transitioning from ∼E
−0.6 to ∼E

break is limited either by the Hillas confinement condition or by particle escape from the cocoon via fast spatial diffusion. The spectral slopes primarily arise from multiple episodes of shock and relativistic shear acceleration, and the confinement–escape processes within the cocoon.

Tracing the Origins of Mass Segregation in M35: Evidence for Primordially Segregated Binaries
Authors: Motherway Erin , Geller Aaron M. , Childs Anna C. , Zwicker Claire , von Hippel Ted 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
M35 is a young open cluster and home to an extensive binary population. Using Gaia Data Release 3, Pan-STARRS, and Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry with the Bayesian statistical software, BASE-9, we derive precise cluster parameters, identify single and binary cluster members, and extract their masses. We identify 571 binaries down to Gaia G = 20.3 and a lower limit on the binary frequency of f

b
= 0.41 ± 0.02. We extend the binary demographics by many magnitudes faint-ward of previous (radial-velocity) studies of this cluster and further away from the cluster center (1.°78, roughly 10 core radii). We find the binary stars to be more centrally concentrated than the single stars in the cluster. Furthermore, we find strong evidence for mass segregation within the binary population itself, with progressively more-massive binary samples becoming more and more centrally concentrated. For the single stars, we find weaker evidence for mass segregation; only the most massive single stars (>2.5M
⊙) appear more centrally concentrated. Given the cluster age of ∼200 Myr, and our derived half-mass relaxation time for the cluster of 230 ± 84 Myr, we estimate ∼47% of the binary stars and ∼12% of single stars in the cluster have had time to become dynamically mass segregated. Importantly, when we investigate only stars with mass segregation timescales greater than the cluster age, we still find the binaries to be more centrally concentrated than the singles, suggesting the binaries may have formed with a primordially different spatial distribution from that of the single stars.
Delayed and Fast-rising Radio Flares from an Optical and X-Ray-detected Tidal Disruption Event in the Center of a Dwarf Galaxy

Published: February 2024

Abstract
AT 2018cqh is a unique tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered in a dwarf galaxy. Both the light-curve fitting and galaxy scaling relationships suggest a central black hole mass in the range of 5.9 < logM
BH/M
☉ < 6.4. The r-band peak luminosity is ∼ 1043 erg s−1, making AT 2018cqh relatively faint among known optical TDEs. A delayed X-ray brightening was found around 590 days after the optical discovery but shows an unusually long time rising to peak over at least 558 days, which could be coming from delayed accretion of a newly forming debris disk. We report the discovery of delayed radio flares around 1105 days since its discovery, characterized by an initial steep rise of ≳175 days, a flattening lasting about 544 days, and a phase with another steep rise. The rapid rise in radio flux coupled with the slow decay in the X-ray emission points to a delayed launching of outflow, perhaps due to a transition in the accretion state. However, known accretion models can hardly explain the origins of the secondary radio flare that is rising even more rapidly in comparison with the initial one. If confirmed, AT 2018cqh would be a rare faint TDE in a dwarf galaxy exhibiting optical, X-ray, and radio flares. We call for continued multifrequency radio observations to monitor its spectral and temporal evolution, which may help to reveal new physical processes that are not included in standard TDE models.
H i, FRB, What’s Your z: The First FRB Host Galaxy Redshift from Radio Observations

Abstract
Identification and follow-up observations of the host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) not only help us understand the environments in which the FRB progenitors reside, but also provide a unique way of probing the cosmological parameters using the dispersion measures (DMs) of FRBs and distances to their origin. A fundamental requirement is an accurate distance measurement to the FRB host galaxy, but for some sources viewed through the Galactic plane, optical/near-infrared spectroscopic redshifts are extremely difficult to obtain due to dust extinction. Here we report the first radio-based spectroscopic redshift measurement for an FRB host galaxy, through detection of its neutral hydrogen (H i) 21 cm emission using MeerKAT observations. We obtain an H i–based redshift of z = 0.0357 ± 0.0001 for the host galaxy of FRB 20230718A, an apparently nonrepeating FRB detected in the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients survey and localized at a Galactic latitude of –0.°367. Our observations also reveal that the FRB host galaxy is interacting with a nearby companion, which is evident from the detection of an H i bridge connecting the two galaxies. A subsequent optical spectroscopic observation confirmed an FRB host galaxy redshift of 0.0359 ± 0.0004. This result demonstrates the value of H i to obtain redshifts of FRBs at low Galactic latitudes and redshifts. Such nearby FRBs whose DMs are dominated by the Milky Way can be used to characterize these components and thus better calibrate the remaining cosmological contribution to dispersion for more distant FRBs that provide a strong lever arm to examine the Macquart relation between cosmological DM and redshift.
Effects of Nonzero-frequency Fluctuations on Turbulence Spectral Observations
Authors: Zhao L.-L. , Zank G. P. , Li H. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In situ observations of turbulence spectra in space plasmas are usually interpreted as wavenumber spectra, assuming that the fluctuation frequency is negligible in the plasma flow frame. We explore the effects of nonzero frequency in the plasma flow frame on turbulence spectral observations. The finite frequency can be caused by either propagating waves or nonlinear broadening of nonpropagating structures. We show that the observed frequency spectrum can be modified by the nonzero frequency of turbulent fluctuations in several ways. Specifically, (i) frequency broadening results in a minor modification to the observed spectrum, primarily acting as a smoothing kernel of the spectrum near the spectral break, while the asymptotic spectral index remains unchanged; (ii) wave propagation can affect the observed spectral index for anisotropic turbulence. The effect is significant at low frequencies and weaker at high frequencies, leading to a “concave” shape of the observed perpendicular spectrum; (iii) the Doppler shift for forward- and backward-propagating Elsasser modes can result in a nonzero cross helicity for critical-balanced turbulence since the effect of the Doppler shift favors outward-propagating waves systematically, resulting in an observed imbalance. These results may have important implications for the interpretation of solar wind flows observed by Parker Solar Probe.

Clues to the Origin of Jovian Outer Irregular Satellites from Reflectance Spectra
Authors: Vilas Faith , Hendrix Amanda R. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Visible/near-infrared narrowband spectroscopy (dispersion per element ∼ 6 Å) was obtained of the Jovian irregular satellites JVI Himalia, JVII Elara, JVIII Pasiphae, JIX Sinope, JX Lysithea, JXI Carme, JXII Ananke, and JXVII Callirrhoe in 2006, 2009, and 2010 using the MMT Observatory Red Channel spectrograph. These spectra sample three prograde (i = 28°), four retrograde (i = 149° and 165°), and one independent satellite. Our results suggest that the prograde cluster satellites represent fragments probing the cluster’s original parent body, with the largest satellite, Himalia, being the core of the parent body, while Elara preserves the geochemical/mineralogical transition between the core and an outer layer of the body, and Lysithea formed farther from the center of the parent body. The spectral signatures suggest that the prograde parent body fragmented in the early stages of aqueous alteration. This supports the change from more organic-rich material at Lysithea to more carbonized material at Himalia, consistent with weathering/processing of a carbon-bearing material at Himalia. At twice the distance from Jupiter, the retrograde cluster anchored by Pasiphae also suggests that Ananke preserves the transition between the core and an outer layer of a parent body. Both Sinope and Carme are similar to D-class asteroids. Bluing/flattening near 0.4–0.5 μm in Carme’s spectrum suggests a carbonized component to Carme’s surface material, consistent with greater levels of weathering/processing. Sinope’s red spectrum is consistent with broadband photometry and does not confirm or negate the proposal that it had a common parent body with the Pasiphae cluster.

Abstract
Laboratory-derived optical constants are essential for identifying ices and measuring their relative abundances on solar system objects. Almost all optical constants of ices important to planetary science come from experiments with transmission geometries. Here we describe our new experimental setup and the modification of an iterative algorithm in the literature to measure the optical constants of ices from experiments with reflectance geometries. We apply our techniques to CH4 ice and H2O ice samples and find good agreement between our values and those in the literature, except for one CH4 band in the literature that likely suffers from saturation. The work we present here demonstrates that labs with reflectance geometries can generate optical constants essential for the proper analysis of near- and mid-infrared spectra of outer solar system objects such as those obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope.
