description: Archaeological excavation of a site in the parish of Great Doddington to the south of Wellingborough revealed part of a large Iron Age settlement site, of which approximately 4 hectares was excavated. Evidence indicates that the settlement was founded in the 6th or 5th century BC and continued in use until its abandonment in the 1st century BC. It appears to have been surrounded by a field system, and probably formed part of an extensive Iron Age landscape as evidenced by previous Iron Age discoveries in the vicinity of Wellingborough. Limited evidence for Iron Age ironworking, craftwork and ritual activity, and of localised Neolithic/Early Bronze Age activity, was also recovered

description: The electron-hole exchange interaction is a fundamental mechanism that drives valley depolarization via intervalley exciton hopping in semiconductor multi-valley systems. Here, we report polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy of neutral excitons and negatively charged trions in monolayer MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$ under biaxial strain. We observe a marked enhancement(reduction) on the WSe$_2$ triplet trion valley polarization with compressive(tensile) strain while the trion in MoSe$_2$ is unaffected. The origin of this effect is shown to be a strain dependent tuning of the electron-hole exchange interaction. A combined analysis of the strain dependent polarization degree using ab initio calculations and rate equations shows that strain affects intervalley scattering beyond what is expected from strain dependent bandgap modulations. The results evidence how strain can be used to tune valley physics in energetically degenerate multi-valley systems.

description: Fundamental movement skills (FMS) are frequently referred to as the “building blocks” of movement for children and adolescents in their lifelong physical activity journey. It is critical, however, that FMS are developed within Physical Education learning environments and other sport-related settings, specifically as these building blocks of movement require appropriate teaching and practice opportunities. While FMS are well-established as an “important focus” for children and adolescents, to the authors’ knowledge, there appears to be no standardized FMS development guidelines existent within the literature. This paper will examine whether the frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT) principle could be transferable to interventions focusing on FMS development, and if so, whether sufficient consistency of findings exists to guide practitioners in their session design. Applying the FITT principle in this way may help to facilitate the comparison of FMS-related intervention studies, which may contribute to the future development of practical FMS-related guidelines for children and adolescents.

description: In patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression has been demonstrated to predict response to immunotherapy. It is unclear whether PD-L1 expression measured with currently available validated assays can predict chemotherapy response in patients with non-metastatic TNBC. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies to assess the PD-L1 expression as a predictor of response to chemotherapy in non-metastatic TNBC using validated assays. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR) rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Secondary endpoints included the prevalence of PD-L1 expression in non-metastatic TNBC and its impact on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Moreover, RNA sequence data from the TCGA breast cancer cohort was used to define the relationship between PDCD1 expression and response to chemotherapy and prognosis. Nineteen studies were eligible for the meta-analysis with a total of 2403 patients with non-metastatic TNBC disease. The PD-L1-positive cohort had a significantly higher likelihood of achieving pCR with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (pooled odds ratio = 1.95; 95% CI = 1.39–2.73, p < 0.0001). In studies which reported long-term outcomes, PD-L1 positivity was associated with significantly better DFS and OS compared to PD-L1 negative patients (pooled hazard ratio = 0.51; 95% CI = 0.35–0.74, p < 0.0001 and 0.51; 95% CI = 0.27–0.94, p = 0.031, respectively). Transcriptomic data suggested that PD-L1 expression is a surrogate marker for the upregulation of key immune-related genes that mediate response to chemotherapy in TNBC. This analysis clearly shows that patients with PD-L1 positive TNBC respond better to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and are associated with better survival outcomes compared to patients with PD-L1 negative tumours. The newly distinct quadruple negative breast cancer (QNBC) subtype should be defined as the BC subtype with the poorest outcome in the non-metastatic setting, highlighting the need for more aggressive therapy approaches.

description: The S stars near the Galactic centre and any pulsars that may be on similar orbits, can be modelled in a unified way as clocks orbiting a black hole, and hence are potential probes of relativistic effects, including black hole spin. The high eccentricities of many S stars mean that relativistic effects peak strongly around pericentre; for example, orbit precession is not a smooth effect but almost a kick at pericentre. We argue that concentration around pericentre will be an advantage when analysing redshift or pulse-arrival data to measure relativistic effects, because cumulative precession will be drowned out by Newtonian perturbations from other mass in the Galactic-centre region. Wavelet decomposition may be a way to disentangle relativistic effects from Newton perturbations. Assuming a plausible model for Newtonian perturbations on S2, relativity appears to be strongest in a two-year interval around pericentre, in wavelet modes of timescale approximately 6 months.

description: We present a three dimensional extinction map in $r$ band. The map has a spatial angular resolution, depending on latitude, between 3 -- 9\,arcmin and covers the entire XSTPS-GAC survey area of over 6,000\,$\rm deg^2$ for Galactic longitude $\rm 140 \leq$ $l$ $ \leq 220°$ and latitude $\rm -40\leq$ $b$ $ \leq 40°$. By cross-matching the photometric catalog of the Xuyi Schmidt Telescope Photometric Survey of the Galactic Anticentre (XSTPS-GAC) with those of 2MASS and WISE, we have built a multi-band photometric stellar sample of about 30 million stars and applied spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to the sample. By combining photometric data from the optical to the near-infrared, we are able to break the degeneracy between the intrinsic stellar colours and the amounts of extinction by dust grains for stars with high photometric accuracy, and trace the extinction as a function of distance for low Galactic latitude and thus highly extincted regions. This has allowed us to derive the best-fit extinction and distance information of more than 13 million stars, which are used to construct the three dimensional extinction map. We have also applied a Rayleigh-Jeans colour excess (RJCE) method to the data using the 2MASS and WISE colour $(H-W2)$. The resulting RJCE extinction map is consistent with the integrated two dimensional map deduced using the best-fit SED algorithm. However for individual stars, the amounts of extinction yielded by the RJCE method suffer from larger errors than those given by the best-fit SED algorithm.

description: The Markovian approach, which assumes exponentially distributed interinfection times, is dominant in epidemic modeling. However, this assumption is unrealistic as an individual's infectiousness depends on its viral load and varies over time. In this paper, we present a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Vaccinated-Susceptible epidemic model incorporating non-Markovian infection processes. The model can be easily adapted to accurately capture the generation time distributions of emerging infectious diseases, which is essential for accurate epidemic prediction. We observe noticeable variations in the transient behavior under different infectiousness profiles and the same basic reproduction number R0. The theoretical analyses show that only R0 and the mean immunity period of the vaccinated individuals have an impact on the critical vaccination rate needed to achieve herd immunity. A vaccination level at the critical vaccination rate can ensure a very low incidence among the population in case of future epidemics, regardless of the infectiousness profiles.

description: Against the background of the recent corona pandemic, this article highlights new research on epidemics of the late Middle Ages and the beginning Early Modern Era. What kind of knowledge can be gained for the present by looking back at the epidemics of the past? Two examples are taken into consideration, one is the pandemic known as Black Death, ravaging the Eurasian continent since the middle of the 14th century, the other is the so-called English sweat which killed many Europeans in the 15th and 16th centuries. What recent research has in common is that, beyond a purely disciplinary perspective, it draws on the methods and results of other disciplines. What chances and problems does this trend towards increased interdisciplinary research offer? The article criticizes the uncritical use of the results of the respective other discipline and argues for a critical-constructive cooperation between cultural and natural sciences.

Welches Wissen kann durch den Rückblick auf die Epidemien der Vergangenheit für die Gegenwart gewonnen werden? Zwei Beispiele werden in den Blick genommen, einmal die Pestpandemie, die den eurasischen Kontinent seit der Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts heimsuchte, und einmal der sogenannte Englische Schweiß, der im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert Opfer in Europa forderte. Den jüngeren Forschungen ist gemeinsam, jenseits einer rein disziplinären Perspektive auf die Methoden und Ergebnisse anderer Disziplinen zurückzugreifen. Welche Chancen und Probleme weist dieser Trend zu verstärkter interdisziplinärer Forschung auf? Der Beitrag kritisiert den unkritischen Umgang mit den Ergebnissen der jeweils anderen Disziplin und spricht sich für eine kritisch-konstruktive Zusammenarbeit zwischen Kultur-und Naturwissenschaften aus.

We consider $f(R)$ model as an exotic matter source at wormhole throat. The stability of the respective solutions are analyzed under radial perturbations in the context of $R+δR^2$ model. It is concluded that both stable as well as unstable solutions do exist for different values of $δ$. In the limit $δ{\rightarrow}0$, all our results reduce to general relativity.

description: Strong gravitational lensing of supernovae is exceedingly rare. To date, only a handful of lensed supernovae are known. Despite this, lensed supernovae have emerged as a promising method for measuring the current expansion rate of the Universe and breaking the Hubble tension. We present an extensive search for gravitationally lensed supernovae within the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) public survey, covering 15,215 transients with good light curves discovered during four years of observations. We crossmatch a catalogue of known and candidate lens galaxies with our sample and find three coincident sources, which were due to chance alignment. To search for supernovae magnified by unknown lenses, we test multiple methods suggested in the literature for the first time on real data. This includes selecting objects with extremely red colours, those that appear inconsistent with the host galaxy redshift, and those with bright absolute magnitudes inferred from the host galaxy redshift. We find a few hundred candidates, most of which are due to contamination from activate galactic nuclei, bogus detections, or unlensed supernovae. The false positive rate from these methods presents significant challenges for future surveys. In total, 132 unique transients were identified across all of our selection methods that required detailed manual rejection, which would be infeasible for larger samples. Overall, we do not find any compelling candidates for lensed supernovae, which is broadly consistent with previous estimates for the rate of lensed supernovae from the ZTF public survey alone and the number expected to pass the selection cuts we apply.

description: Heart failure (HF) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by increased morbidity and mortality. This systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 studies was conducted to evaluate the role of copeptin in diagnosis and outcome prediction in HF patients. A systematic literature search for clinical trials reporting copeptin levels in HF patients was performed using EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar. Articles from databases published by 2 January 2022, that met the selection criteria were retrieved and reviewed. The random effects model was used for analyses. Pooled analysis found higher mean copeptin levels in HF vs. non-HF populations (43.6 ± 46.4 vs. 21.4 ± 21.4; MD= 20.48; 95% CI: 9.22 to 31.74; p < 0.001). Pooled analysis of copeptin concentrations stratified by ejection fraction showed higher concentrations in HFrEF vs. HFpEF (17.4 ± 7.1 vs. 10.1 ± 5.5; MD= −4.69; 95% CI: −7.58 to −1.81; p = 0.001). Copeptin level was higher in patients with mortality/acute HF-related hospitalization vs. stable patients (31.3 ± 23.7 vs. 20.4 ± 12.8; MD= −13.06; 95% CI: −25.28 to −0.84; p = 0.04). Higher copeptin concentrations were associated with mortality and observed in all follow-up periods (p < 0.05). The present meta-analysis showed that elevated copeptin plasma concentrations observed in HF patients are associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, thus copeptin may serve as predictor of outcome in HF.

description: Excavations on land of off Lime Street, Irthlingborough ,found activity from the early-middle Iron Age, Roman, Saxo-Norman and medieval periods. Part of an Iron Age settlement comprised some pits and a house ring ditch set within a small enclosure. Roman activity was represented by a scatter of residual pottery, some minor ditch systems and a small pit group. 11th century medieval settlement comprised group of postholes and pits, and a system of boundary ditches was probably of the same date. Through the 12th and 13th centuries activity was still sparse comprising a scatter of small pits and deep quarry pits. A pit containing a primary pottery assemblage of early 13th century date denotes the presence of a house. By the early 14th century a group of three buildings were established: a long malt house/barn, dovecote and a building with mortared walls that might have served as a kitchen/bakehouse These buildings are clearly appropriate to a manorial farm, and probably served a nearby manor house Later documentary evidence indicates that the land was owned by the Battaile manor of Irthlingborough. The scale of the malthouse suggests was used for commercial production. These buiIdings and associated pit groups were abandoned tit the end of the 14th century, after less century of use. After partial robbing the site seems to have been left undeveloped until terracing and further robbing occurred in the 18th century.

Il vise, dans le cadre d’une étude de cas, à identifier ces différences et à formuler des hypothèses sur les éléments susceptibles de les influencer. L’étude a été menée auprès de deux gymnases vaudois dans deux classes qui se distinguent par le profil de formation des élèves. En effet, la première classe 2EC accueille des élèves en deuxième année de filière culture générale et commerce et la deuxième des élèves en 3ème année maturité. Nous avons, à l’aide d’un dictaphone et d’une grille d’observation, relevés les interactions verbales et non verbales entre élèves et enseignants. Notre travail se focalise sur la retranscription de quatre séquences d’enseignement en langues étrangères, à savoir deux d’allemand (classe 2EC) et deux d’anglais (classe 3M). Leurs paramètres commun étant une action didactique axée sur de l’analyse littéraire. Les retranscriptions ont ensuite fait l’objet d’une analyse quantitative et qualitative, reprenant principalement la méthodologie proposée dans la littérature consacrée au genre. La distribution des interactions entre enseignants et élèves ont été codées en fonction du genre de l’élève et du type d’intervention. Notre analyse quantitative a démontré des points de convergences avec les apports théoriques de la littérature, notamment un écart significatif au niveau du sexe de l’élève dans le type et la distribution des interactions. Dans une dimension plus qualitative, nous avons focalisé notre attention sur les types de feedbacks distribués par l’enseignant aux élèves. L’élaboration de ce mémoire a pour objectif de fournir des outils de réflexion pour neutraliser, dans la mesure du possible, une inégalité existante entre filles et garçons.

description: Actively sampled data can have very different characteristics than passively sampled data. Therefore, it's promising to investigate using different inference procedures during AL than are used during passive learning (PL). This general idea is explored in detail for the focused case of AL with cost-weighted SVMs for imbalanced data, a situation that arises for many HLT tasks. The key idea behind the proposed InitPA method for addressing imbalance is to base cost models during AL on an estimate of overall corpus imbalance computed via a small unbiased sample rather than the imbalance in the labeled training data, which is the leading method used during PL.

description: Computation of the Green's function is crucial to study the properties of quantum many-body systems such as strongly correlated systems. Although the high-precision calculation of the Green's function is a notoriously challenging task on classical computers, the development of quantum computers may enable us to compute the Green's function with high accuracy even for classically-intractable large-scale systems. Here, we propose an efficient method to compute the real-time Green's function based on the local variational quantum compilation (LVQC) algorithm, which simulates the time evolution of a large-scale quantum system using a low-depth quantum circuit constructed through optimization on a smaller-size subsystem. Our method requires shallow quantum circuits to calculate the Green's function and can be utilized on both near-term noisy intermediate-scale and long-term fault-tolerant quantum computers depending on the computational resources we have. We perform a numerical simulation of the Green's function for the one- and two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model up to $4\times4$ sites lattice (32 qubits) and demonstrate the validity of our protocol compared to a standard method based on the Trotter decomposition. We finally present a detailed estimation of the gate count for the large-scale Fermi-Hubbard model, which also illustrates the advantage of our method over the Trotter decomposition.

description: Excavation in advance of new housing on the southern street-frontage of Deene End, Weldon examined the remains of late twelfth century post-built structures and quarrying and a medieval stone-built range, including a kitchen and bakehouse, dating to the thirteenth century. In the final phase iron smelting was being carried out within the tenement and the debris was deposited around the building range. The presence of a small quantity imported pottery suggests that the occupants were of above average wealth. Extensive medieval quarrying and post-medieval and recent features were also recorded.
Effects of grain growth on the interstellar polarization curve

description: We apply the time evolution of grain size distributions by accretion and coagulation found in our previous work to the modelling of the wavelength dependence of interstellar linear polarization. We especially focus on the parameters of the Serkowski curve $K$ and $λ_{\max}$ characterizing the width and the maximum wavelength of this curve, respectively. We use aligned silicate and non-aligned carbonaceous spheroidal particles with different aspect ratios $a/b$. The imperfect alignment of grains with sizes larger than a cut-off size $r_{V,\rm cut}$ is considered. We find that the evolutionary effects on the polarization curve are negligible in the original model with commonly used material parameters (hydrogen number density $n_\mathrm{H}=10^3$ cm$^{-3}$, gas temperature $T_\mathrm{gas}=10$~K, and the sticking probability for accretion $S_\mathrm{acc}=0.3$). Therefore, we apply the tuned model where the coagulation threshold of silicate is removed. In this model, $λ_{\max}$ displaces to the longer wavelengths and the polarization curve becomes wider ($K$ reduces) on time-scales $\sim (30 - 50) (n_\mathrm{H}/10^3 \mathrm{cm}^{-3})^{-1}$ Myr. The tuned models at $T < 30 (n_\mathrm{H}/10^3 \mathrm{cm}^{-3})^{-1} $ Myr and different values of the parameters $r_{V,\rm cut}$ can also explain the observed trend between $K$ and $λ_{\max}$. It is significant that the evolutionary effect appears in the perpendicular direction to the effect of $r_{V,\rm cut}$ on the $K$ - $λ_{\max}$ diagram. Very narrow polarization curves can be reproduced if we change the type of particles (prolate/oblate) and/or vary $a/b$.

description: Northamptonshire Archaeology, 31, 125-135
description: Following extensive trial trenching, a small excavation was undertaken ahead of residential development on land west of College Street, Higham Ferrers. A number of shallow ditches and pits indicate that the area was occupied through the twelfth century, and tenement plots had probably been established at this time. By the later thirteenth century several stone buildings had been constructed. The presence of a circular oven base and stone-lined drains suggests that these were ancillary buildings perhaps pertaining to a domestic residence fronting onto Collage Street, although no evidence for this was located. To the west a ditched and later walled boundary, found in the trial trenching appears to divide the frontage from the back plots, which contained only quarry pits and scattered pits and ditches. The buildings appear to have fallen out of use by the end of the fifteenth century when the town is known to have been in decline. The historic map evidence indicates that the southern part of the area was still undeveloped at the end of sixteenth century, and remained an orchard until well into the nineteenth century, despite extensive development to the immediate north from the eighteenth century onward.

description: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health concern characterised by a progressive alteration of renal function, and obesity, diabetes and hypertension are major risk factors. Oxidative stress is commonly observed in CKD patients resulting from an imbalance between overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impairment of defense mechanisms. Therefore, strategies that alleviate oxidative stress may have major clinical implications towards improving vascular health and reducing the burden of CKD. Also, CKD worsens the quality of life of patients, therefore it is fundamental to implement new therapeutic strategies aimed at slowing down its progression. This interventional study is a randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial consisting at the daily oral supplementation with high dosing grape seed flour (GSF ≈ 1 g/kg) for experimental (n = 30) or starch for placebo (n = 10) to patients suffering from CKD of various stages and aetiologies. Blood and urine samples were collected at baseline and after a six-month-long supplementation period to follow up the disease evolution through the determination of renal function biomarkers, as well as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and blood parameters. Supplementation with high dosing GSF was safe and well tolerated during the entire period of investigation. GSF clearly improved the main renal function biomarkers as GFR, proteinuria, blood pressure, oxidative stress and inflammation as well as the overall patient welfare as indicated by several blood parameters. Most importantly high dosing GSF specifically halted and even reversed the progression of diabetic nephropathy a major cause of CKD and end stage renal disease.

description: Information in the sense of aggregated knowledge about concrete transactions, the financial situation, and payment morale of business partners was of decisive importance in the late medieval economy. The creditworthiness of individuals depended largely on their good reputation, and if a credit relationship got into trouble, it was again information that decided on the prospects of legal action. Using Basel as an example, this article examines the circulation of information in a late medieval city and asks what indirect evidence of such, mostly oral, circulation can be found in court records.
description: Information im Sinne von aggregierten Kenntnissen über konkrete Transaktionen, die Finanzkraft und Zahlungsmoral von Geschäftspartner*innen war in der spätmittelalterlichen Wirtschaft von entscheidender Bedeutung und somit handlungsleitend. Die Kreditwürdigkeit von Personen hing weitgehend von ihrer guten Reputation ab, und wenn eine Kreditbeziehung in Schieflage geriet, war es wiederum Information, die über die Aussichten eines gerichtlichen Vorgehens entschied. Dieser Artikel geht am Beispiel von Basel der Zirkulation von Informationen in einer spätmittelalterlichen Stadt nach und stellt sich dabei die Frage, welche indirekten Belege einer solchen, meist mündlichen Zirkulation in Gerichtsakten aufzufinden sind.

description: Wildlife camera trap images are being used extensively to investigate animal abundance, habitat associations, and behavior, which is complicated by the fact that experts must first classify the images manually. Artificial intelligence systems can take over this task but usually need a large number of already-labeled training images to achieve sufficient performance. This requirement necessitates human expert labor and poses a particular challenge for projects with few cameras or short durations. We propose a label-efficient learning strategy that enables researchers with small or medium-sized image databases to leverage the potential of modern machine learning, thus freeing crucial resources for subsequent analyses. Our methodological proposal is two-fold: (1) We improve current strategies of combining object detection and image classification by tuning the hyperparameters of both models. (2) We provide an active learning (AL) system that allows training deep learning models very efficiently in terms of required human-labeled training images. We supply a software package that enables researchers to use these methods directly and thereby ensure the broad applicability of the proposed framework in ecological practice. We show that our tuning strategy improves predictive performance. We demonstrate how the AL pipeline reduces the amount of pre-labeled data needed to achieve a specific predictive performance and that it is especially valuable for improving out-of-sample predictive performance. We conclude that the combination of tuning and AL increases predictive performance substantially. Furthermore, we argue that our work can broadly impact the community through the ready-to-use software package provided. Finally, the publication of our models tailored to European wildlife data enriches existing model bases mostly trained on data from Africa and North America.
Prehistoric palaeochannels and a ring ditch at Stanwick Quarry, Northamptonshire

description: Earlier stages of mineral extraction at Stanwick Quarry had been subject to excavation and survey in the 1980s and early 1990s as part of the Raunds Area Project, which investigated an extensive and long-lived prehistoric landscape, a large area of Iron Age and Roman settlement at Stanwick and the deserted medieval village of West Cotton. In this earlier work areas near the present river channels, where the gravel was overlain by 1.0-3.0m of alluvial clays, had been excluded from extraction. The final phase of working involved the extraction of gravel from these marginal areas so that the mineral resource was fully exploited. Given the quality of the previous results, the three areas involved were subject to an archaeological watching brief between 2002 and 2004 to determine the presence of any unrecognised dry-land sites and to examine the form and development of the palaeochannel system. The work has defined further details of the palaeochannels contemporary with the Neolithic and Bronze Age monument complex. A minor channel defining the eastern edge of Irthlingborough island had silted well before the commencement of monument building in the early fourth millennium, and a number of cut-off channels had silted at various dates during the Neolithic period and the sequence has been radiocarbon dated using waterlogged wood samples. In the early/middle Bronze Age a line of oak posts had been driven into the margins of a silted oxbow channel, and a small undated ring ditch, 10.5m in diameter, has added another monument to the prehistoric landscape.

description: Compelling experimental evidences of neutrino oscillations and their implication that neutrinos are massive particles have given neutrinoless double beta decay a central role in astroparticle physics. In fact, the discovery of this elusive decay would be a major breakthrough, unveiling that neutrino and antineutrino are the same particle and that the lepton number is not conserved. It would also impact our efforts to establish the absolute neutrino mass scale and, ultimately, understand elementary particle interaction unification. All current experimental programs to search for neutrinoless double beta decay are facing with the technical and financial challenge of increasing the experimental mass while maintaining incredibly low levels of spurious background. The new concept described in this paper could be the answer which combines all the features of an ideal experiment: energy resolution, low cost mass scalability, isotope choice flexibility and many powerful handles to make the background negligible. The proposed technology is based on the use of arrays of silicon detectors cooled to 120 K to optimize the collection of the scintillation light emitted by ultra-pure crystals. It is shown that with a 54 kg array of natural CaMoO4 scintillation detectors of this type it is possible to yield a competitive sensitivity on the half-life of the neutrinoless double beta decay of 100Mo as high as ~10E24 years in only one year of data taking. The same array made of 40CaMoO4 scintillation detectors (to get rid of the continuous background coming from the two neutrino double beta decay of 48Ca) will instead be capable of achieving the remarkable sensitivity of ~10E25 years on the half-life of 100Mo neutrinoless double beta decay in only one year of measurement.

description: Avec les mathématiques, la biologie, la chimie et la physique sont les trois disciplines scientifiques enseignées au Secondaire II avec des objectifs généraux et savoir-faire communs. Les professeurs doivent éveiller la curiosité et l’intérêt scientifiques des élèves, les aider à comprendre et acquérir le raisonnement logique des sciences. Le Chimiscope (Genève) propose des ateliers scientifiques (public principalement secondaire I). « L’alchimiste » est un atelier de 3 heures sur la démarche scientifique : les élèves réfléchissent, émettent des hypothèses, proposent des tests pour confirmer ou infirmer leurs hypothèses et tirent leurs conclusions. Ce mémoire propose une adaptation de cet atelier aux classes de gymnase (Travaux Pratiques). Beaucoup de différences entre le Chimiscope et les gymnases rendent l’adaptation difficile. Les participants du Chimiscope sortent du cadre de l’école, ils n’ont pas le même niveau et le temps mis à disposition est différent ainsi que les produits utilisés. Les protocoles de chaque classe (1M à 3M) tiennent compte du niveau, du plan d’études, du temps et des produits à disposition et des règles de sécurité. Les principales difficultés résident dans le choix des objets cuivrés (pièces, lamelles, fil, clous ou centimes d’euros), faire des choix qui ne compliquent pas l’organisation du professeur, avoir un lien direct avec son cours et le plan d’études. Je propose plusieurs variantes de protocoles et laisse le choix à chaque professeur qui connaît les possibilités et budgets de son école. Cette expérience de l’alchimiste permettrait aux élèves de voir le côté ludique de la chimie mais aussi de comprendre que les mathématiques, souvent trop abstraites, sont indispensables pour les autres disciplines. Pour les élèves de 2ème et 3ème années, les protocoles abordent la notion d’oxydoréduction d’une façon différente des TP classiques : les élèves mènent leur enquête pour conclure sur la composition initiale et finale des objets.
