description: This study aims to explore students preferences across various dimensions such as demographic diversity, teaching and learning methods, and interaction preferences to achieve the objective of this paper, which is to gather insights on ideal professors from the students’ perspectives, by providing measurable and valuable data for talent acquisition professionals to be able to cater students and institutional needs to meet strategic visions and long-term manpower planning and recruitment strategies.Methodology: To gather the targeted insights from students, a survey has been circulated to 150 students from different levels, majors, and educational sectors using random sampling technique within the Kingdom of Bahrain. The data was analyzed using excel analytical tools like frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.Findings: The findings of this paper give a great emphasis on the demographic preferences of professors from student’s perspective, where substantial majority prefer having professors with industry experiences as a profession, engaged and creative teaching and learning methods were also preferred by majority of participants in consideration of their generations. Communication skills, clear accent and language, availability of professors outside classroom hours are all factors that contribute to students’ satisfaction and their perception towards an ideal professor.Practical Limitation: The ideal professor topic is subjective in nature, it changes as generations / students / technologies / and industry changes, and accordingly it required frequent updates for effective implementation and achievement of this research objective.Recommendation: This study found that students prefer having diverse professors from difference backgrounds, nationalities, and practical experiences, core focus on faculty diversity should be at the top of recruitment strategies across different institutions withing the Kingdom of Bahrain. Industrial experience of faculty members needs to be prioritized during screening process and shall be kept as a standing requirement to enhance the students learning journey. Existing and future faculty members need to be trained and institutions should heavily invest in keeping them up to date with teaching and learning trends that contribute to the overall student’s satisfaction and experience. Student-faculty relationship can be strengthened through the implementation of student-engagement hour as an adjusted hour from the faculty workload allocation.
A Comprehensive Framework and Call for Collaborative Validation: Hemp-Derived Carbon Nanosheets (HDCNS), HDCNS-Composites, 100%Organic "Diamond Composites" made from 100%Hemp (HDCNS, Hemp Oil and Hemp Lignin), and Potential Applications

description: This paper details the scientific basis and potential of Hemp-Derived Carbon Nanosheets (HDCNS), introduces HDCNS composite materials, and introduces "Diamond Composites," a conceptual 100% hemp-derived material (HDCNS + Hemp Oil Epoxy + Hemp Lignin Resin) originated by the author, M. S. Landry [5]. Building upon the foundational work demonstrating HDCNS synthesis from hemp biomass and their high specific surface area for supercapacitor applications (e.g.,Wang, Mitlin et al., ACS Nano, 2013 [1]), we propose a theoretical framework extending their use to advanced composites [4]. Potential applications explored herein include defense (lightweight armor, stealth), aerospace (structures, radiation shielding), energy storage, potentially quantum computing elements (HDCNS as qubits), waste sequestration capabilities (incorporating byproducts/processed waste), and materials for sustainable interplanetary colonization (ISRU). The core purpose of this document is to issue a call for collaborative, open-source experimental validation of these concepts. We present 54 specific, testable hypotheses organized into three tiers: Tier 1 (Foundational Validation), Tier 2 (Core Properties & Benchmarks), andTier 3 (Advanced/Exploratory). These hypotheses cover material synthesis, mechanical, thermal, electrical, barrier, and environmental properties, military/armor/stealth characteristics, biological interactions, comparative performance benchmarks, processability, and ISRU potential. For each hypothesis, significantly detailed experimental approaches, characterization techniques, and validation metrics are outlined. Relevant theoretical background, including predictive models (e.g., Rule of Mixtures, Halpin-Tsai), is provided. This document invites the global scientific community—research institutions, universities,industry labs, and citizen scientists—to participate in generating the crucial foundational empirical data needed to assess the viability of these proposed sustainable materials. Submission guidelines and contact information (feedback@marielandryceo.com) are provided to foster this collaborative effort. The core original concepts presented by M. S. Landry are detailed in the cited Zenodo preprints [4, 5] and potentially forthcoming publications.
Theory of rapid (nonadiabatic) rotation of nonspherical nuclei

description: On the basis of the concept of the growing role of nonadiabatic effects of the non-conservation of the quantum number $K,$ a theory has been developed of the phenomenon which has been given the name of backbending. Above the transition point, for $J\geq J_c$, all the values $-J\leq K\leq J$ are equally probable. An investigation is made of the singularities possessed by the ordering parameter (proportional to the spectroscopic quadrupole moment of a nonspherical nucleus), the rotational angular velocity and the moment of inertia of a nucleus at the Curie point. Formulas have been derived for the intensity of quadrupole radiation in the more symmetric $n$-phase $J> J_c$. By analyzing the experimental values of the moments of inertia belonging to the $n$-phase, the radius of the mass distribution in the nucleus was determined. It agrees with the radius of the proton distribution derived from data on the scattering of electrons by nuclei. On the basis of the simplest form of the singularity of the parametric derivative of the Hamiltonian of the system a general theory of zero-temperature second-order phase transitions is developed in the Appendix.

description: Quesnel Forks is a gold-mining ghost town, valued for its place in the Cariboo gold rush and signified the erased history of early immigrant presence and the contribution of Chinese Canadians. In a time of mass extinction, this project embraces a position that seeks to find potential for the revitalization of this forgotten space, inspires renewed attention to local stories, stimulates interest, and reconstructs lost memory. The end goal is to develop a relevant strategy that makes Quesnel Forks accessible and attractive by inviting entry, creating spaces, and providing an engaging experience. The design delves into unseen layers and forgotten relationships that distinguish Quesnel Forks from other spaces by redesigning four objects, gates, fences, benches, and signs, added to the space to support the marketing and promotion of the Gold Rush Circle Tour tourism experience in Quesnel Forks.
The discrete energy method in numerical relativity: Towards long-term stability

description: The energy method can be used to identify well-posed initial boundary value problems for quasi-linear, symmetric hyperbolic partial differential equations with maximally dissipative boundary conditions. A similar analysis of the discrete system can be used to construct stable finite difference equations for these problems at the linear level. In this paper we apply these techniques to some test problems commonly used in numerical relativity and observe that while we obtain convergent schemes, fast growing modes, or ``artificial instabilities,'' contaminate the solution. We find that these growing modes can partially arise from the lack of a Leibnitz rule for discrete derivatives and discuss ways to limit this spurious growth.

 Type:— NEW ZEALAND. Auckland, Dr. Sinclair s.n. ex herb. Mitt. (lectotype fide Grolle (1982): NY, isolectotypes: MPN, WELT!).
 The name Lejeunea tumida has been misapplied to a range of Australian Lejeunea species, including L. cuspidistipula (Stephani 1896: 88) Stephani ex Watts (1902: 493), L. drummondii Taylor (1846: 400), L. sinclairii Spruce non Mitt. auct. and L. sordida. The presence of L. tumida in Australia was considered dubious by Renner et al. (2010), but the species was not explicitly rejected because all material forming the basis of early records had not been investigated. Recent examination shows that early identifications of Australian material as Lejeunea tumida by Rodway and Stephani in the herbaria FH, BM and G are all referable to other species. Lejeunea tumida can therefore be rejected from the Australian flora with confidence. It, and all other members of the species group formerly included within it [L. colensoana (Stephani 1896: 132) Renner in Renner et al. (2010: 455), L. oracola Renner in Renner et al. (2010: 448), and L. rhigophila Renner in Renner et al. (2010: 453)] are endemic to the New Zealand Botanical Region.

description: Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the exposure to Cobalt (Co) and Tungsten (W) in a group of hard metal tool sharpeners through a combined approach of air and biological monitoring, and to evaluate the effectiveness of a control and improvement intervention carried out in collaboration with the medical officers of the local Health Protection Agency, by biomonitoring. Methods: We enrolled 132 workers from 17 companies of the province of Brescia, northern Italy. The study was performed in two phases: (1) an environmental and biomonitoring survey to assess the workers’ exposure to Co and W at their usual working conditions; (2) a further biomonitoring survey 3 months after the enforcement of a control and improvement intervention, to assess its effectiveness. Results: Workers were found to be exposed to low concentration of airborne dust containing Co and W but after the intervention we recorded a significant decrease of the urinary concentrations of both Co and W. The extent of the decrease was correlated to the number of preventive industrial hygiene interventions that were carried out. Conclusions: Biological monitoring of Co and W in the hard metal tools manufacturing industry is a sensitive and effective method to evaluate the effectiveness of prevention practices.

description: We present a detailed high-resolution weak-lensing (WL) study of SPT-CL J2106-5844 at z=1.132, claimed to be the most massive system discovered at z > 1 in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey. Based on the deep imaging data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3 on-board the Hubble Space Telescope, we find that the cluster mass distribution is asymmetric, composed of a main clump and a subclump ~640 kpc west thereof. The central clump is further resolved into two smaller northwestern and southeastern substructures separated by ~150 kpc. We show that this rather complex mass distribution is more consistent with the cluster galaxy distribution than a unimodal distribution as previously presented. The northwestern substructure coincides with the BCG and X-ray peak while the southeastern one agrees with the location of the number density peak. These morphological features and the comparison with the X-ray emission suggest that the cluster might be a merging system. We estimate the virial mass of the cluster to be $M_{200c} = (10.4^{+3.3}_{-3.0}\pm1.0)~\times~10^{14}~M_{\odot}$, where the second error bar is the systematic uncertainty. Our result confirms that the cluster SPT-CL J2106-5844 is indeed the most massive cluster at z>1 known to date. We demonstrate the robustness of this mass estimate by performing a number of tests with different assumptions on the centroids, mass-concentration relations, and sample variance.

description: Fermion masses and mixing matrices can be described in terms of spontaneously broken (global or gauge) flavor symmetries. We propose a little-Higgs inspired scenario in which an SU(2)xU(1) gauge flavor symmetry is spontaneously (and completely) broken by the vacuum of the dynamically induced potential for two scalar doublets (the flavons) which are pseudo-Goldstone bosons remaining after the spontaneous breaking--at a scale between 10 and 100 TeV--of an approximate SU(6) global symmetry. The vacuum expectation values of the flavons give rise to the texture in the fermion mass matrices. We discuss in detail the case of leptons. Light-neutrino masses arise by means of a see-saw-like mechanism that takes place at the same scale at which the SU(6) global symmetry is broken. We show that without any fine tuning of the parameters the experimental values of the charged-lepton masses,the neutrino square mass differences and the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing matrix are reproduced.

description: In this paper, we develop a method to model and estimate several, _dependent_ count processes, using granular data. Specifically, we develop a multivariate Cox process with shot noise intensities to jointly model the arrival process of counts (e.g. insurance claims). The dependency structure is introduced via multivariate shot noise _intensity_ processes which are connected with the help of Lévy copulas. In aggregate, our approach allows for (i) over-dispersion and auto-correlation within each line of business; (ii) realistic features involving time-varying, known covariates; and (iii) parsimonious dependence between processes without requiring simultaneous primary (e.g. accidents) events. The explicit incorporation of time-varying, known covariates can accommodate characteristics of real data and hence facilitate implementation in practice. In an insurance context, these could be changes in policy volumes over time, as well as seasonality patterns and trends, which may explain some of the relationship (dependence) between multiple claims processes, or at least help tease out those relationships. Finally, we develop a filtering algorithm based on the reversible-jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) method to estimate the latent stochastic intensities and illustrate model calibration using real data from the AUSI data set.

description: Data sharing and the tracking of geospatial and other geographic datasets can reveal conversations and patterns of digital attention around vital societal issues, and help inform future strategies around publishing datasets that can potentially impact social justice efforts. By fostering collaboration among data repositories and those tasked with tracking and managing metrics assessment, we can better understand the rich narratives that emerge around sharing geographic data. This presentation will include data visualizations, explorations of data across subject areas, and geographic regions, and discuss the need for a critical lens that addresses privacy concerns, illustrating these themes via two case studies. One featured dataset maps patterns of implicit racial bias across Europe, exhibiting how open data can support social science research necessary to tackle crucial, difficult-to-discuss social justice issues. In the second example, highlighted in a collection of widely used and impactful datasets, geographic data and visualizations of U.S. urban commuting reveal incredible insight around economic megaregions. By charting the dataset's path from curation through publication to its broad circulation and influence via usage and altmetrics, a rich narrative emerges around this data, illuminating the broad downstream impact potential associated with sharing data for the social good.

description: In December 2015, the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission released their final report, as well as 94 calls to action, urging all Canadians to work together to repair the harm caused by residential schools and move towards reconciliation. The calls to action provide data and map experts with the opportunity to build relationships, collaborate, and participate in the reconciliation process as well as advance the cause of social justice of indigenous peoples in Canada and abroad. This presentation will discuss several calls to actions that are of particular relevance to individuals in the map and data services community, specifically the actions that refer to microdata, aggregate data, and cartographic information about residential schools and their legacy for Indigenous people in Canada. This presentation will highlight datasets that require better access, as well as priority data and cartographic resources that need to be rescued. These data and resources are essential so that: the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation can fulfill their mandate; educators can provide enriched curricular materials for students; academic researchers have access to quality data, and Indigenous Canadians can tell their own stories in richer detail.

description: Identifications of transcription start sites (TSSs) and promoter regions are first step to understand the regulation mechanisms of gene expression and association with genetic variations in the regions. This analysis was conducted with the objectives to identify TSSs, determine the promoter regions, identify common candidate motifs and transcription factors (TFs), and search for CpG islands (CGIs) in cattle olfactory receptors (ORs) genes promoter regions. In the analysis, TSSs of cattle olfactory genes were first identified. The locations for 60% of the TSSs were below –500 bp relative to the start codon and five candidate motifs (MOR1, MOR2, MOR3, MOR4, and MOR5) were identified that are shared by at least 50% of the cattle ORs promoter input sequences from both strands. Among the five candidate motifs, MOR4 was revealed as the common promoter motif for 85.71% of cattle ORs genes that serves as binding sites for TFs involved in the expression regulation of these genes. MOR4 was also compared to registered motifs in publically available databases to see if they are similar to known regulatory motifs for TF by using the TOMTOM web application. Hence, it was revealed that MOR4 may serve as the binding site mainly for the Zinc finger (ZNF) TF gene family to regulate expression of cattle ORs genes. Further gene ontology analysis for MOR4 demonstrated ORs belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily and MOR4 tend to be located near the genes involved in the detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception and in innate immune responses such as cytokine-mediated signaling. In silico digestion of cattle OR sequences was performed using restriction enzyme MspI. CGIs from OR10K1 and OR2L13 gene was found. In the present analysis, the poor CGIs observed might suggest their gene expression regulation pattern is in tissue specific manner.

description: Determining an estimate of the elasticity of derived demand for irrigation water is a crucial step in analyzing water policy alternatives for most regions in the West. Previous research indicates that water usage in western agricultural regions is relatively insensitive to changes in water prices. More recently these findings have been challenged on the basis that the modeling approaches that have been employed provide results that are biased toward inelasticity. This paper analyzes the implications of assumptions commonly used in regional models and identifies sources of potential bias. The significance for empirical research is discussed.

description: This study x-rays the criminal justice system, and crime control and prevention in Nigeria. The objectives of the study are to assess the impact of institutional reforms on the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, evaluate the influence of socio-economic factors on crime rates and patterns in Nigeria, investigate the role of corruption in undermining the integrity and efficiency of the criminal justice system in Nigeria, examine the effectiveness of community oriented policing initiatives in enhancing collaboration between law enforcement agencies and local communities, and analyze the challenges and opportunities for addressing transnational crimes in Nigeria through international cooperation. The adopted theory was the Social Disorganization Theory. This theory provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the social and environmental factors that contribute to crime rates and patterns in Nigeria. The study employs a qualitative research method to capture the complexity of criminal justice system, and crime control and prevention in Nigeria. The results of this study highlight the importance of institutional reforms in enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, the findings underscore the significant influence of socioeconomic factors on crime rates and patterns in Nigeria, moreover, the pervasive issue of corruption poses a significant threat to the integrity and efficiency of the criminal justice system in Nigeria. The study recommends that; comprehensive institutional reforms should be implemented within law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, and correctional facilities to enhance professionalism, accountability, and efficiency, and investments in education, job creation, and social welfare programs should be prioritized to address underlying socioeconomic disparities and reduce the risk factors associated with crime.

description: This paper suggests that the study of resource allocation problems has been narrowly focused on either non durable assets divisible in use and acquisition or on durables lumpy in acquisition and use. A new theorem is presented in this paper which provides a tool needed to analyze a much broader set of problems, including the analysis of durable:s lumpy in acquisition but divisible in use. It also allows analysts to examine changes in the value of durables resulting from changes in variable input prices, etc.

description: Within Australia the gender wage gap presents a broad social problem under the management of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). This agency is tasked with measuring and reporting on wage inequality across employers at a national level. Now in its fifth year of reporting, in 2016 the WGEA underwent a data management assessment that recommended improvements to the metadata management and governance within the agency. This presentation covers a joint project of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Workplace Gender Equality Agency and Aristotle Metadata Enterprises exploring the technical and organisational challenges in the development of a national registry for gender equality indicators. During the talk we cover methods for searching and rebuilding metadata standards from recent legislation, data collection instruments and collected data sources. We also explore methods for recording and publishing governance processes, as well as looking at metadata structures for recording key national performance indicators. The result is a system that accurately describes the provenance of data from collection, transformation, and data analysis to final reporting. Lastly, we look at how this has been packaged within a public facing metadata registry and used to augment existing data analysis tools using modern application programming interface design.

description: The Administration's proposed federal income tax program will result in an improved after-tax cash flow position for cotton-sorghum farms,on the Southern High Plains. The effect of the proposed tax change on farm structure in the area will essentially be neutral. These results were obtained by simulating a typical farm over the 1981-1990 planning horizon, using both the current and proposed income tax schedules.

description: Production of electron-positron pairs from vacuum in strong bichromatic electric fields, oscillating in time with a fundamental frequency and its second harmonic, is studied. Strong-field processes occuring in such field configurations are generally known to be sensitive to the relative phase between the field modes. Phase-of-the-phase spectroscopy has recently been introduced in the context of strong-field photoionization as a systematic means to analyze these coherence effects. We apply this method to field-induced pair production by calculating the phase dependence of the momentum-resolved particle yields. We show that asymmetric checkerboard patterns arise in the phase-of-the-phase spectra, similarly to those found in strong-field photoionization. The physical origin of these characteristic structures, which differ between the created electron and positron, are discussed.

Agro-Elderly Matrix : An Elderly-friendly, Inclusive, and Participatory Community Garden System in Chinatown

description: The city of Vancouver's senior immigrant population has grown rapidly, especially in the neighborhood of Chinatown (Immigrant Demographics Vancouver, 2018). Specifically, it is predicted that the senior Chinese immigrant population will continue growing in Chinatown in the future (chinatownconcerngroup, 2016). Unfortunately, gentrification has resulted in the isolation of senior immigrants from their communities. To address this issue, community gardens have been recognized as an effective tool for promoting integration (Hanna and Oh, 2000). The project draws inspiration from the 24 Solar Terms, a traditional East Asian system that divides the solar cycle into 24 periods based on natural phenomena and agricultural activities. The project aims to establish an elderly-friendly, inclusive, and participatory community garden system in Chinatown that prioritizes the creation of a productive landscape, elderly-friendly streets, and all-season activities.

description: The proto-planetary nebula Hen 3-1475 shows a remarkable highly collimated optical jet with an S-shaped string of three pairs of knots and extremely high velocities. We present here a detailed analysis of the overall morphology, kinematic structure and the excitation conditions of these knots based on deep ground-based high dispersion spectroscopy complemented with high spatial resolution spectroscopy obtained with STIS onboard HST, and WFPC2 [N II] images. The spectra obtained show double-peaked, extremely wide emission line profiles, and a decrease of the radial velocities with distance to the source in a step-like fashion. We find that the emission line ratios observed in the intermediate knots are consistent with a spectrum arising from the recombination region of a shock wave with shock velocities ranging from 100 to 150 km/s. We propose that the ejection velocity is varying as a function of time with a quasi-periodic variability (with timescale of the order of 100 years) and the direction of ejection is also varying with a precession period of the order of 1500 years.

description: In a model with a gauge group $SU(3)_H\otimes G_{SM}$, where $SU(3)_H$ is a horizontal symmetry and $G_{SM}=SU(3)_C\otimes SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y$ is the standard model, we propose a radiative mechanism of mass generation mediated by the $SU(3)_H$ gauge bosons for the light fermions, meanwhile the masses of the heaviest family are generated by the implementation of see-saw mechanisms with the introduction of vectorial fermions.

description: This study investigated factors influencing teachers’ intention and willingness to teach about cancer in the context of the theory of planned behaviour. Because teaching about cancer is mandatory in Germany, we compared n=355 teachers’ intention to teach about cancer under mandatory conditions and their willingness to teach about cancer if they had free choice. Teachers signalled strong intention and a strong willingness to teach about cancer. Teachers did not perceive teaching about cancer to be a burden and strongly considered it to be necessary. Structural equation modelling showed that perceived autonomy was the only significant predictor of teachers’ intention, whereas attitude towards the perceived necessity to teach about cancer, attitude towards the perceived burden of teaching about cancer and social norm were significant predictors of willingness. We attributed these differences to the observation of a ceiling effect for intention but not for willingness. There were systematic differences among the variables predicting teachers’ intention and willingness depending on whether the teachers had personal experience with cancer. Indirect measures yielded insights into which teacher beliefs affected the direct measures. We discuss implications for professional development, such as reducing the burden of teaching about cancer by adequately addressing emotionally-charged classroom situations.

description: We describe the implementation of a robotic SLODAR instrument at the Cerro Paranal observatory. The instrument measures the vertical profile of the optical atmospheric turbulence strength, in 8 resolution elements, to a maximum altitude ranging between 100 m and 500 m. We present statistical results of measurements of the turbulence profile on a total of 875 nights between 2014 and 2018. The vertical profile of the ground layer of turbulence is very varied, but in the median case most of the turbulence strength in the ground layer is concentrated within the first 50 m altitude, with relatively weak turbulence at higher altitudes up to 500 m. We find good agreement between measurements of the seeing angle from the SLODAR and from the Paranal DIMM seeing monitor, and also for seeing values extracted from the Shack-Hartmann active optics sensor of VLT UT1, adjusting for the height of each instrument above ground level. The SLODAR data suggest that a median improvement in the seeing angle from 0.689 arcsec to 0.481 arcsec at wavelength 500 nm would be obtained by fully correcting the ground-layer turbulence between the height of the UTs (taken as 10 m) and altitude 500 m.
