Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2022

description: Biomolecular structure and function is emphasized as a core concept in a variety of community determined educational standards for biology and chemistry. Most curricula introduce students to the building blocks and principles of biomolecular structures, in introductory chapters of biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and chemistry courses, but very few engage students in actively visualizing and exploring biomolecular structures throughout the course. Conversations with faculty teaching introductory courses, and/or developing and piloting molecular case studies, helped uncover the need for new resources, and professional development to support introduction of biomolecular exploration. To address this need, a group of faculty participating in a Faculty Mentoring Network in Spring 2022, gathered together resources and lessons that they had independently developed and collaboratively developed additional ones. An overview of the lessons will be presented here. Interested users are invited to pilot the lessons in Fall 2022.
Requirement for Maximum Intermodulation-Produced RFI
Creators: name: D'Addario, Larry R.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: analog signal processing

description: The LWA is subject to strong RFI outside our desired observing band of 20-85 MHz, including FM radio at 88-108 MHz and HF radio at 3-20 MHz. FM radio signals are primarily local and nearly line-of-sight; the power level is stable. The HF radio signals are primarily distant and arrive by reflections from the ionosphere; the power level is highly variable. The out-of-band signals are suppressed by filtering in the analog signal path so that by the time the entire signal is digitized it is well within the dynamic range of the digitizer. This memo proposes a design criterion to achieve an acceptable level.

Analog Signal Path Analysis for Fiber-Connected Antennas of LWA352
Creators: name: D'Addario, Larry R.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: analog signal processing

description: The OVRO LWA is subject to strong RFI at frequencies outside the nominal observing band, 20-85 MHz. This includes FM radio (88-108 MHz) and HF communication (<20 MHz). Intermodulation among these RFI signals can produce undesired signals in the observing band. This memo provides a quantitative analysis of the trade-off between intermodulation and noise temperature. It concentrates on the fiber-connected antennas. The coax-connected antennas have a similar issue, but whereas the coax cable can be considered completely linear there is less intermodulation and the ARX has sufficient gain to keep the noise impact small, even for the longest cables.

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2024
Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: China is one of the countries with the richest Animal genetic resources (AnGR) in the world, and also the largest producer and consumer of pigs.The pig industry is huge, but more than 90% of pork consumption relies on imports, while local pig breeds are neglected, and many of them are even on the verge of extinction.In order to study the utilization status of local pig breeds and promote the protection、development, and utilization, this study conducted an in-depth analysis of the utilization status of local pigs by combing the utilization status and cost-benefit analysis.The results showed that the overall population of Min pig has increased and has been extensively used in production. However, due to the high input cost and low output income, the income is negative and production efficiency is low. Therefore, the pigs have not been fully and effectively utilized by the people.The study further observed that in the general commercialization environment over the years, a range of incentives and protection measures have achieved a balance. This has resulted in a certain level of balance between policy implementation and commercial development, leading to an increase in the number of pigs and improving the situation of endangered varieties. The findings of this study provide a theoretical foundation for the preservation, development, and sustainable utilization of local pig genetic resources.

description: This paper explores the relationship between agriculture, dietary diversity, and market access in Nepal, testing the complex causal chains involved, and the nuanced connections between production diversity and dietary diversity among smallholder farmers. While diversifying farm production could enhance dietary diversity, the case of Nepal indicates a varied and context specific relationship. Market access emerges as a crucial factor, often exerting a more significant impact on smallholder farm households than production diversity. Access to markets not only influences economic viability but also contributes directly to food and nutrition security, offering a practical solution to address dietary needs. Focusing on Nepal's diverse terrain, the study analyzes the interplay of remoteness, market access, irrigation availability, and complementary inputs in shaping farmers' decisions, providing valuable insights into sustainable agricultural strategies for improved dietary outcomes in low- and middle-income countries.

description: Between the age span of 3 to 6 years the foundation for children’s mathematical learning (i.e., numerical abilities and cognition) are laid. However, the developing relations between mathematical skills, language, and working memory starting at preschool age and evolving into primary school age are not well understood. Adopting an empirically validated analysis model, the present study examines in detail longitudinal interdependencies between mathematical skills, a wide range of language skills, and working memory components underlying the mathematical learning process of 41 German preschool children (41.5% female) spanning ages 4 to 6. Phonological processing skills and expressive grammar skills emerged as the most significant language skills for the process of children’s mathematical learning across the investigated age span. Within the latter, children’s phonological processing skills and expressive grammar skills were supported by children’s word expression abilities. The phonological loop emerged as the most important working memory component for children’s early mathematical learning between ages 4 to 6. Furthermore, a wide array of language skills were associated with complex information and storage processes within this mathematical learning process. In conclusion, the present findings provide a more detailed and deeper insight into the learning process of children’s number concept, emphasizing the influence of phonological and particularly grammatical skills.

description: Different scholars have modelled the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) with a goal of improving farmer’s adaptive capacity to climate change. Nonetheless, through the conventional way of defining adoption decisions as one-time survey decisions, many scholars have failed to understand inconsistencies in adoption decisions and dis-adoption of such practices. Through a survey of 2100 maize farming households, the current study employed multivariate probit models to understand and compare one-time survey season adoption decisions and sustained (consistent) adoption decisions. The study notes that dis-adoption rates of SAPs range from 20 to 27 percent. As such, the determinants of dis-adoption were estimated to build a case for going beyond one-time adoption survey decisions. Furthermore, the study employed a Cox Proportional hazard model to understand the relative risk to adoption of Sustainable Agricultural Practices over time. The findings reveal the need for a modelling paradigm shift in understanding adoption decisions for sustainable benefits. Lastly, the findings reveal the need for intensifying knowledge and information dissemination on SAPs through field demonstrations, extension visits, trainings and radio programs in order to reduce dis-adoption and ensure sustained adoption.

description: Many highway and hydraulic structures in North America have been reported to be affected by alkali aggregate reaction (ASR). It is anticipated that most of these structures will be demolished as they approach the end of their service lives. Recycling demolished concrete as aggregates in new concrete is an option that not only reduces the amount of construction demolition waste (CDW) disposed in landfills but also lessens the consumption of non-renewable resources such as natural aggregates. However, the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in new concrete requires detailed research to make sure that the durability of the recycled material is not compromised, especially if the RCA had been previously affected by ASR. In this research project, coarse recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is reclaimed and processed from distinct members (i.e. foundation blocks, bridge deck and columns) of an ASR-affected overpass after nearly 50 years of service. RCA concrete mixtures incorporating 50 and 100% replacement are manufactured and stored in conditions enabling further ASR development. Mechanical (i.e. Stiffness Damage Test - SDT) and microscopic (Damage Rating Index - DRI) analyses are performed at a fixed “secondary” induced expansion of 0.12%. Results show that the overall performance of the ASR-affected recycled mixtures depends upon the “past” condition of the RCA particles. Moreover, the DRI was able to capture the “past” and “secondary” induced expansion and damage of affected RCA while the SDT only detected the “secondary” distress development. Lastly, an adapted version of the DRI was proposed to further evaluate the overall damage of recycled concrete along with properly displaying “past” and “secondary” induced distress.
An approach towards comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for surface transport automotive fuels

subject: Environmentally sustainable engineering

description: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of fuel is commonly known as ‘Well to Wheel’ (WTW) analysis, which is divided into two stages, viz. the ‘Well to Tank’ (WTT) or fuel stage, and the ‘Tank to Wheel’ (TTW) or vehicle stage. In both these stages, the physico-chemical of the fuel as well as the technical attributes of the vehicle are taken into consideration to assess the environmental impacts of an automotive fuel. There are also several factors that are exclusive of the internal fuel characteristics and the vehicle propulsion system that influence the emissions. These factors can be either natural or environmental (e.g., local topography, wind parameters, and average ambient temperature etc.) or man-made (health of the road network, traffic density and traffic management system, and customer attitude etc.). These factors along with the vehicle design-based attributes impact the rolling resistance, the aerodynamic drag resistance, and the inertial resistance. The power supplied to the wheels needs to be manifested into the distance covered by a wheel depending upon these independent external factors. Therefore, the WTW approach has been extended to have the complete LCA of a fuel and this extension is named as ‘Wheel to Miles’ (WHTM). In the TTW part, the quantity of the fuel consumed is assessed, whereas, in the WHTM part, the quality of the consumed fuel is analyzed in terms of the mileage realized. All three major resistances (rolling, air drag, and inertial) are impacted by natural, man-made, and vehicle design-based factors and in turn, they impact the vehicle fuel economy. A change in rolling resistance has a high impact on the fuel economy among all the three resistances analyzed. The fuel economy of a freight vehicle is majorly impacted by a change in the coefficient of rolling resistance, while that of a passenger vehicle is more sensitive towards a change in the drag coefficient.

description: Mutations in the Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (Lrrk2) gene are associated with familial and sporadic cases of Parkinson’s disease but are also found in inflammatory-related disorders such as Crohn’s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, tuberculosis and leprosy. There is also evidence that LRRK2 is highly expressed in immune cells, particularly in macrophages, and has been functionally linked to pathways pertinent to immune cell function such as modulating the course of infections, cytokine release, autophagy and phagocytosis. Indeed, G2019S mutation in Lrrk2 is the most common mutation in Parkinson’s disease. Accordingly, we hypothesized that G2019S mutation in Lrrk2 might enhance the activation of the innate immune system. We tested our hypothesis by performing challenge experiments in a mouse model of Listeria monocytogenes, and by measuring the activation of bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) following in vitro infection with the bacterium. We found that Lrrk2G2019S mutant mice controlled L. monocytogenes better than WT mice. The mechanism behind the better control of L. monocytogenes by the G2019S mutation of Lrrk2 was investigated in BMDMs following in vitro infection with L. monocytogenes. Interestingly, we found that Lrrk2G2019S mutation enhances the production of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 by infected BMDMs. The impact on TNF-α and IL-1β was specifically due to the G2019S mutation of Lrrk2 since there was no impact on the expression of these cytokines in Lrrk2 knockout macrophages. Western blotting experiments revealed that the G2019S mutation of Lrrk2 enhances MAPK signaling (TAK1, p38 and ERK). Modulation of the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1β by G2019S mutation of Lrrk2 occurred via p38 MAPK activation. The impact on IL-10 expression occurred through increased ERK activation by the G2019S mutation of Lrrk2. We did not observe any impact of G2019S mutation of Lrrk2 on the activation of NF-κB and JNK MAPK pathways. Increased expression of IL-1β by G2019S mutation of Lrrk2 revealed increased inflammasome signaling. Inflammasome signaling in response to L. monocytogenes was mainly mediated by the AIM2- and partly by NLRP3- inflammasome and was dependent on activation of caspase-1. We found that Lrrk2G2019S mutation enhanced the expression of NLRP3 and caspase-1. Finally, we found that the expression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) following infection with L. monocytogenes was augmented by G2019S mutation of Lrrk2, and this can be an important mechanism that promotes the enhanced clearance of the bacterium in vivo. Overall, these results present new insights into the signaling mechanisms through which the G2019S mutation of Lrrk2 augments innate immune response which leads to better control of infection.

Reverse Genetic Study of Four Medicago Truncatula Defence Genes to Elucidate Involvement in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

description: The arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is a mutualistic relationship between plants and AM fungi that increases global plant nutrition. Although the benefits of forming the AM symbiosis is significant for around 80% of terrestrial plants, little is known about the molecular pathways involved in facilitating the interaction. In this thesis, we sought to understand the involvement of plant defence-associated genes in regulating the beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. Based on GeneChip and RNA sequencing data, we identified four genes in the model legume Medicago truncatula with increased expression during AM symbiosis that are predicted to encode proteins associated with host defence pathways. We hypothesized that these proteins are involved in regulating AM symbiosis, either by: a) mediating the suppression of defence pathways to enable fungal colonization of root cells, or alternatively: b) by restricting the growth of the symbiont to prevent over-proliferation in host tissues. Two of the four genes encode putative Toll/inkerleukin-1 nucleotide-binding leucine rich repeat (TIR-NB-LRR) receptors, a group of intracellular receptors that allow plants to identify non-self-microorganisms (Zhai et al., 2011). One gene encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor kinase, a transmembrane receptor that activates signal transduction pathways upon perception of microbe associated antigens (Torii, 2004). The fourth gene encodes an enhanced disease susceptibility-like (EDS1-like) defence protein that mediates signals involved in resistance (Wang et al., 2014). To screen the involvement of these defence genes of interest, we used a reverse genetics approach to compare the mean root length colonized of mutant knockout Medicago truncatula plants inoculated with Rhizophagus irregularis to wildtype plants. Results showed that the TIR-NB-LRRs had no consistent role in the AM symbiosis, while the the EDS1-like gene and the LRR-kinase displayed promising preliminary results for a potential role in regulating the mutualism
Understanding Perceived Access Barriers to Contraception Through an African Feminist Lens: A Qualitative Study in Luweero, Uganda

description: Gender equality and ensuring the equal rights of women and girls is the fifth United Nations Sustainable Development Goal set for 2030. Access to quality reproductive healthcare and information is a critical aspect of gender equality, including access to information about family planning and contraceptives. However, there are many barriers that impact a woman’s access to contraception in rural sub-Saharan Africa, such as financial constraints, supply shortages, stigma, and misconceptions. Through and African Feminist lens, this study examines how these perceived barriers intersect with each other, and how they negatively impact women’s access to family planning and their perceived value of contraceptives in Luweero, Uganda. This qualitative study analyzed data collected from healthcare workers at one private clinic and one public clinic that offer family planning services in four focus group discussions in Luweero, Central Region, Uganda. Two focus group discussions were held in each clinic. Coded transcripts were analyzed using a reflexive methodology through an African Feminist lens. Most of the responses indicated that financial constraints experienced either by the clinic or the women significantly impact access family planning. Healthcare workers and Village Health Teams (VHTs) reported that funding constraints impact their ability to reach the clients with the resources they need in the rural areas, and clients in rural areas are often not able to afford the cost of family planning methods, especially when considered with the hidden costs of contraception. Social barriers were also discussed, and the participants explained that barriers such as stigma, misconceptions, lack of knowledge, religiosity and cultural values impact women’s motivation or ability to access contraceptive methods. Side effects also have a significant role to play in women’s ability or motivation to navigate through these perceived social barriers. Participants determined that increased funding for transportation for VHTs, consistent funding for free contraception, and expanded sensitization efforts that particularly target men would be some of the most impactful methods they can adapt to address some of these barriers. This study demonstrates that increasing women’ access to contraception in rural Uganda requires increased state funding for sensitization efforts and subsidized contraceptive methods. Social barriers can be more deeply understood and addressed by the international development community through an African Feminist lens, which explores modern contraceptives in the Ugandan context in a more culturally, socially and historically conscientious way.

description: The research presents a comprehensive analysis of the intricate dynamics between fodder and milk production within the dairy industry of Tamil Nadu, India by employing a robust System Dynamics modelling. This approach harmonizes qualitative and quantitative data to construct an elaborate model that intricately portrays the interconnections among diverse facets of the fodder and dairy system, with a primary focus on the value chain. System Dynamics facilitates the simulation of dynamic feedback loops, temporal delays, and the intricate web of causal relationships that influence the dairy industry's performance. Through this study, we address pivotal leverage points for enhancing the efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of Indian dairy value chain. The findings underscore the strategic importance of interventions in fodder dairy production systems by exploring different scenarios to evaluate the potential complexes of policy shifts and evolving market dynamics. It offers insights to policymakers, dairy industry stakeholders, and researchers interested in optimizing the performance of dynamic dairy ecosystem. It accentuates the imperative of embracing a holistic, system-oriented approach to effectively navigate the intricate challenges and capitalize on the opportunities within fodder and dairy landscape.

Forschendes Lernen In Schulpraktischen Studien Von Lehrkräften An Berufsbildenden Schulen
Creators: name: Weiner, Andreas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017
Subjects: Berufsschule; Forschendes Lernen; Lehrerbildung;

description: In das Curriculum des Masterstudienganges Lehramt an berufsbildenden Schulen an der Leibniz Universität Hannover ist das Fachpraktikum integriert. Die Dauer des Praktikums beträgt derzeit vier Wochen. Innerhalb des Praktikums entwickeln und erproben die Studierenden eine Lernsituation für den Unterricht in einer berufsbildenden Schule, die den Rahmenbedingungen des Unterrichts an berufsbildenden Schulen entspricht (Handlungsorientierung, Lernfeldorientierung).

Die Studierenden arbeiten in Teams; sie werden vom Mentor / der Mentorin und vom Dozenten angeleitet und betreut. Sie bearbeiten idealiter solche Themenstellungen, die Arbeiten, die in der Schule von Lehrkräften bereits geleistet wurden, weiterführen.

Um die Lernsituation zu entwickeln, wenden die Studierenden Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung an. Sie erheben den Lernerfolg der Schülerinnen und Schüler, um einerseits besonderen Förderbedarf, andererseits solche Stellen in der Unterrichtsplanung zu identifizieren, die einer Verbesserung bedürfen.

Mit diesem Konzept erwerben die Studierende Kenntnisse zur Evaluation und Erforschung von Lernsituationen, wenden Ihre Kenntnisse im Zusammenhang der Fachpraktika an. Sie verwenden die erhobenen Daten zur reflektierten Weiterentwicklung der von Ihnen entwickelten oder weiterentwickelten Lernsituationen.

Das Konzept konnte bereits auf Tagungen vorgestellt werden, zuletzt Weiner (2009); es wurde seitdem kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt.

Das Konzept wurde einer Evaluation unterzogen; entsprechende Ergebnisse liegen vor.

Innerhalb des Posztervortrags wurde das Konzept erläutert, begründet und an einem Beispiel erläutert. Erste Evaluationsergebnisse wurden vorgestellt.
