Helping Students Develop Global Understanding Through Situated Learning: A Religion Course Example
Creators: name: Bond, Susan
name: Campbell, Susan
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2015
Subjects: global education; teaching online; student writing; experiential learning; collaborative learning; situated learning

description: The first online course produced and taught in Mason's Department of Religious Studies, "The Human Religious Experience," applies the situated learning approach where students "co-construct knowledge" through a 'social process' (Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger, 1991) to meet the Mason Core "global understanding" requirement.
The course covers the beliefs, practices, festivals, and history of the major world religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. Several instructional strategies (e.g., online discussions, field trips) are used to allow students to experience other cultures and their religious practices.
Student interaction is a large component of the course with discussion prompts carefully crafted around real-life situations to engage students in high-order thinking. Some of the discussions evolve around videos where guests representing different religions (selected by the faculty member) talk about religion and culture from their perspectives.

Field trips to places of worship, interviewing congregants or religious leaders, and exchanging and discussing reports of these experiences are other examples of applications of situated learning.

By the end of the course, students are able to articulate their own worldview (religious or otherwise) based on their own culture and backgrounds and their experiences in the course.

description: The large number of sensors and actuators that make up the Internet of Things obliges these systems to use diverse technologies and protocols. This means that IoT networks are more heterogeneous than traditional networks. This gives rise to new challenges in cybersecurity to protect these systems and devices which are characterized by being connected continuously to the Internet. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are used to protect IoT systems from the various anomalies and attacks at the network level. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) can be improved through machine learning techniques. Our work focuses on creating classification models that can feed an IDS using a dataset containing frames under attacks of an IoT system that uses the MQTT protocol. We have addressed two types of method for classifying the attacks, ensemble methods and deep learning models, more specifically recurrent networks with very satisfactory results.

description: The Smithsonian-Mason Semester for Conservation Studies is the cornerstone of an innovative partnership between George Mason University and the Smithsonian Institution, established to educate future conservation practitioners in an experiential framework. This 16-credit residential program addresses complex conservation imperatives within diverse disciplines, including the biological, physical, and social sciences. We aim to teach conservation as conservation is practiced, engaging students in real-world experiences. The semester is rooted in an integrative teaching design, focusing on dialogue and problem-solving using case studies in immersive field and laboratory experiences. Students learn from a large number of conservation practitioners and professionals, often up to 50 in one semester, enabling a collaborative atmosphere in which students develop a professional network. Class sizes are kept deliberately small so that students may engage in intensive mentoring with faculty. Since the beginning of the program in 2008, faculty have been using a pre- and post-semester learning gains assessment, including quantitative and qualitative questions, to gauge student understanding of the academic subject matter and their proficiency with professional skills. Data from these assessments will be compiled and reviewed to evaluate student learning gains of complex skills within the field of conservation and investigate long-term career development outcomes of alumni.

description: University teaching and learning of vitamins and minerals has been limited to a nutrient by nutrient approach. However, most vitamins and minerals play extensive roles in and interact with multiple body systems. Researchers from Virginia Tech, James Madison, and George Mason Universities are developing a Reusable Learning Object (RLO) for the study of micronutrients needed by the skeletal system. The RLO will be a freely accessible platform and be designed as a layered human body to highlight different micronutrient actions in target systems. Links to scientific research articles, government Dietary Reference Intakes, and other web-based factual information will be provided. Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in vitamins and minerals courses across the three institutions will serve as the control group (no exposure to RLO) in 2014 and treatment group (exposure to RLO) in 2015. This presentation will address the design of the RLO and provide results from year one regarding type of student learners as well as interest and perceived utility of digital objects. As the RLO can be applied to teach various concepts, this session will be of interest to faculty across the university, particularly science instructors and those who teach online courses.

description: Gardens are at the limits between nature and culture, a product of the cumulatively acquired technical skills through which humans materially engaged with nature; a place where different civilizations conversed with their environment and expressed the symbolisms and ideologies underlying their engagement with it. They have reflected varied and sometimes contradictory ideas; man’s fall from grace, Epicureans frugality and contentment, Zen’s experiential merger with the flux of nature as well as royal absolutism and its illusions of control over the chaos of a misbehaving nature. From political disengagement to expressions of authoritarianism; the Garden’s complexities reflect those of the civilizations that produced it, expressing their coherences and incoherencies, their search for beauty, meaning and even their practices of coercion. Such conflicting ideas are found in comparing writings of Louis the XIVth regarding the gardens of Versailles and those of the Monk Zoen regarding Japanese gardens. The ideas underlying these two texts are still urgently debated today as they structure the conflictual discourses between industrial modernity and environmentalism.

description: We interpret the observed radial-velocity curve of the optical star in the low-mass X-ray binary 2S 0921-630 using a Roche model, taking into account the X-ray heating of the optical star and screening of X-rays coming from the relativistic object by the accretion disk. Consequences of possible anisotropy of the X-ray radiation are considered.We obtain relations between the masses of the optical and compact (X-ray) components, mv and mx, for orbital inclinations i=60, 75, 90 degrees. Including X-ray heating enabled us to reduce the compact object's mass by near 0.5-1Msun, compared to the case with no heating. Based on the K0III spectral type of the optical component (with a probable mass of mv=2.9Msun, we concluded that mx=2.45-2.55Msun (for i=75-90 degrees). If the K0III star has lost a substantial part of its mass as a result of mass exchange, as in the V404 Cyg and GRS 1905+105 systems, and its mass is $m_v=0.65-0.75Msun, the compact object's mass is close to the standard mass of a neutron star, mx=1.4Msun (for i=75-90 degrees). Thus, it is probable that the X-ray source in the 2S 0921-630 binary is an accreting neutron star.

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2015
Subjects: learning strategies; problem-based learning; active learning

description: The Association of College and Research Libraries recently adopted the Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education, consisting of six core concepts: (1) authority is constructed and contextual, (2) information creation as a process, (3) information has value, (4) research as inquiry, (5) scholarship as conversation, and (6) searching as strategic exploration. A dramatic shift away from the competencies previously used to define information literacy, these core concepts encourage librarians to provide learner-centered, discipline-specific information literacy instruction that asks the learner to examine all information critically.

This poster provides an examination of what these core concepts mean in different academic disciplines and how this is reflected in teaching practice. Specific examples of active learning and partnerships between discipline faculty and librarians at Mason will be showcased, focusing on the methods for information literacy instruction and assessment include traditional face to face teaching, extended learning, and eLearning.

description: In the context of a determined commitment with the EU consumer protection law, on last 9 December 2015, the Commission has issued a proposal on certain aspects concerning contracts for the online and other distance sales of goods and a proposal on certain aspects concerning contracts for the supply of digital content. Both instruments are aimed at removing obstacles to consumers and businesses with regard to the exercise of fundamental freedoms, which result from differences between national mandatory contract law rules. The proposals intend to fully harmonise key contract law sectors such as conformity, remedies for lack of conformity and conditions or modalities of the exercise of the rights deriving from the Directives. The proposal on the supply of digital content is additionally meant to fill the current legal gap in the European Union consumer law acquis, as far as such specific content is concerned.

description: We have selected three nova-like variables at the long period extreme of nova-like orbital periods: V363 Aur, RZ Gru and AC Cnc, all with IUE archival far ultraviolet spectra. All are UX UMa type nova-like variables and all have $P_{orb} > 7$h. V363 Aur is a bona fide SW Sex star, and AC Cnc is a probable one, while RZ Gru has not proven to be a member of the SW Sex subclass. We have carried out the first synthetic spectral analysis of far ultraviolet spectra of the three systems using state-of-the-art models both of accretion disks and white dwarf photospheres. We find that the FUV spectral energy distribution of both V363 Aur and RZ Gru are in agreement with optically thick steady state accretion disk models in which the luminous disk accounts for 100% of the FUV light. We present accretion rates and model-derived distances for V363 Aur and RZ Gru. For AC Cnc, we find that a hot accreting white dwarf accounts for $\sim$ 60% of the FUV light with an accretion disk providing the rest. We compare our accretion rates and model-derived distances with estimates in the literature.

description: In this paper we find explicit formulas for: (1) Green's function for a system of one-dimensional bosons interacting via a delta-function potential with particles confined to the positive half-line; and (2) the transition probability for the one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) with particles confined to the nonnegative integers. These are both for systems with a finite number of particles. The formulas are analogous to ones obtained earlier for the Bose gas and ASEP on the line and integers, respectively. We use coordinate Bethe Ansatz appropriately modified to account for confinement of the particles to the half-line. As in the earlier work, the proof for the ASEP is less straightforward than for the Bose gas.

description: This research aims to establish a better knowledge of the bowing of match-cast segments. A transient thermo-mechanical finite element model was developed to simulate the segment production. Numerical simulations of two real segmental bridges were conducted to show the impact of using bow shaped segments on the serviceability and the load bearing capacity of structures. A simple method to estimate the size of the bowing was developed.

description: In this work, we focus on the analysis of a CME-driven shock observed by SOHO/LASCO. We show that white-light coronagraphic images can be employed to estimate the compression ratio X = rho_d / rho_u all along the front of CME-driven shocks. X increases from the shock flanks (where X ~ 1.2) to the shock center (where X ~ 3.0 is maximum). From the estimated X values, we infer the Alfvén Mach number for the general case of an oblique shock. It turns out that only a small region around the shock center is supercritical at earlier times, while higher up in the corona the whole shock becomes subcritical. This suggests that CME-driven shocks could be efficient particle accelerators at the initiation phases of the event, while at later times they progressively loose energy, also losing their capability to accelerate high energy particles. This result has important implications on the localization of particle acceleration sites and in the context of predictive space weather studies.

This is Sanctuary Land: Chicago's Homeless Shelters and Uptown Tent City

Subjects: subject: Uptown Tent City
subject: homelessness
subject: shelters
subject: diversity & inclusion

description: This thesis builds off of interviews with former members of Chicago’s Uptown Tent City to add to our understanding of the homeless community’s relationship with the shelter system. It finds that many individuals were either barred or alienated from shelters due to often-necessary rules and restrictions stemming from concerns about residents’ safety and shelters’ limited resources. Tent City grew as a response to shelters’ inadequacy by a community in search of more autonomy and agency. The community was quickly forced to adopt many similarly restrictive rules to protect residents and ensure the encampment’s continued existence; however it also provided its members with potent political agency to advocate for their needs. Some recommendations are made on making shelters more accessible, but the necessary nature of many of the shelters’ exclusionary regulations reveals the need for cities to recognize homeless encampments as inevitable and to harness their political potential by collaborating with residents to respond to their needs.

Search for a heavy particle decaying to a top quark and a light quark in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV
Creators: name: CDF Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We present a search for a new heavy particle $M$ produced in association with a top quark, $p\bar{p}\rightarrow t(M \rightarrow \bar{t}q)$ or $p\bar{p}\rightarrow \bar{t}(\bar{M}\rightarrow t\bar{q})$, where $q$ stands for up quarks and down quarks. Such a particle may explain the recent anomalous measurements of top-quark forward-backward asymmetry. If the light-flavor quark ($q$) is reconstructed as a jet ($j$), this gives a $\bar{t}+j$ or $t+j$ resonance in $t\bar{t}$+jet events, a previously unexplored experimental signature. In a sample of events with exactly one lepton, missing transverse momentum and at least five jets, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CDF II detector, we find the data to be consistent with the standard model. We set cross-section upper limits on the production ($p\bar{p}\rightarrow Mt$ or $\bar{M}\bar{t}$) at 95% confidence level from 0.61 pb to 0.02 pb for $M$ masses ranging from 200 GeV$/c^2$ to 800 GeV$/c^2$, respectively.

description: This qualitative case study explored stakeholders’ subjective goals and outcome expectations for a community college welder training program in southern California to improve alignment for student success and employer benefit, thereby mitigating the shortage of skilled welding professionals. This study builds on the historical foundation for career technical education (CTE), the philosophical concept of pragmatism, and the theoretical framework of experiential learning theory to explore the higher education environment related to CTE and the research site. Twelve welding students participated in focus groups, and four welding faculty, two employer representatives, and one senior administrator participated in individual interviews. Additionally, institutional documentation was explored. Due to the distinct lack of scholarly literature on community college skilled trades training programs, this inaugural study contributes significantly to the body of knowledge available to policy makers and practitioners in higher education. Global findings included welder (anti)culture and stigma. General findings included the importance of developing a variety of soft and hard skills, welder identity, and workplace roles. These findings reveal many important implications for policy, practice, and future research and a conclusion that education leaders must listen to welding students. College administrators and faculty should increase agency for welding students to create their own destinies, work to reduce the deficit mindset in academia toward career-oriented subjects, increase collaboration between colleges and employers, effectively facilitate student employment in the field, and support research in community college skilled trades training programs.

description: Gauge-Higgs unification is the fascinating scenario solving the hierarchy problem without supersymmetry. In this scenario, the Standard Model (SM) Higgs doublet is identified with extra component of the gauge field in higher dimensions and its mass becomes finite and stable under quantum corrections due to the higher dimensional gauge symmetry. On the other hand, Yukawa coupling is provided by the gauge coupling, which seems to mean that the flavor mixing and CP violation do not arise at it stands. In this talk, we discuss that the flavor mixing is originated from simultaneously non-diagonalizable bulk and brane mass matrices. Then, this mechanism is applied to various flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes via Kaluza-Klein (KK) gauge boson exchange at tree level and constraints for compactification scale are obtained.

The Variability of Particulate Atmospheres
Creators: name: Bennett, Ian
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1990

description: Inhalation Toxicologists accept that there will be variations in the physical nature of test aerosols which cannot be readily attributed to any single cause. The performance of a chamber suitable for the containment of a particulate atmosphere has been assessed across a range of inlet designs and operating conditions. Different inlet designs allowed different stable ventilation patterns to be developed, however, these patterns remained constant and were not considered to be sources of aerosol instability. The largest sources of instability were associated with the methods of generation. Several methods of generation capable of dispersing either liquids or from finely divided solids have been evaluated. Many such methods are used to generate atmospheres outside their intended operating range. As a result such devices are often considered to be inefficient and subject to uncontrolled variation in output. This work has shown that it is essential that the chosen method of generation is capable of exceeding the target concentration or particle size distribution in order to achieve a stable aerosol. The need for adequate electrostatic conditioning of the test aerosols prior to entry into the chamber has been demonstrated, although the significance of electrostatic charge may not yet be fully appreciated by those engaged in industrial inhalation toxicology. When operating at mass concentrations in excess of 5000 mg.m-3 the choice of sampling duration has been shown to be critical. An acceptable range of sampling periods is defined. In order to achieve a sufficiently stable particulate atmosphere it is necessary to meet certain criteria: The performance of the chamber to be used must be adequately characterized and it ’s limitations defined; the choice of generation system must allow for the adequate generation of an aerosol in excess of that required; the physical evaluation of the aerosol should include an assessment of the electrostatic charge state of the aerosol, especially at concentrations in excess of 1000mg.m-3; the aerosol sampling practices should be appropriate to the mass concentration of the aerosol; the sampling period should not be so long as to overload the sampling device, nor should it be so short as to cause losses of efficiency due to the short periods of flow instability at the beginning and end of the sampling period.

description: "In this work is presented the Unified 5D/6D Entropic Spacetime Theory (UEST), which geometrizes matter, dark energy, and quantum gravity through the entropy of six-dimensional vacuum. The framework's key components include:

PID-regulated cosmic expansion

Calabi-Yau compactification calibrating the Standard Model

Emergent dark energy from 6D entropy gradients (ρ_Λ = γS_6D)

The theory proposes testable predictions at both collider (10.3 TeV resonances) and cosmological scales (CMB bispectrum anomalies)."

"UEST explains dark energy and particle masses via 6D entropy. Numerical simulations (DeepSeek-optimized) predict collider signatures at 10.3 TeV and CMB anomalies. Testable within 5 years at FCC-hh/CMB-S4."

 

10 Fundamental Laws of UEST 4.0:

1. Law of Entropic Gradient 

"Time flows faster where entropy grows slower."

2. Law of Entropic Action

"Every spacetime deformation quantizes entropy.

3. Law of Entropic-Gravitational Resonance

"Gravity is the shadow of entropic curvature.

4. Law of Conscious Information

"Mind is a topological knot in I₃."

5. Law of Reciprocal Entropy

"Observation exchanges entropy with the system."

6. Law of Fractal Energy Decomposition 

"Energy flows along fractal paths of least resistance."

7. Law of Möbius Time Closure

"Time loops are non-orientable."

8. Law of Entropic Occlusion

"Hidden dimensions cast entropic shadows."

9. Law of Quantum Dimensionality

"Dimensions emerge from entropy potential."

10. Law of Order-Chaos Balance

"The universe breathes between memory and forgetting."

Why 10?

- Matches 10 independent components of 7D Einstein equations.  

- Mirrors M-theory’s 10D → 7D+3 compactification. 

- Covers all scales: quantum (Laws 2,5) → cosmic (Laws 6,9) → conscious (Laws 4,10).

description: In this work we present a highly efficient and accurate analytical approximation for the Green's function of a polaron: the momentum average (MA) approximation. It is obtained by summing all of the self-energy diagrams, but with each diagram averaged over the momenta of its free propagators. The result becomes exact for both zero bandwidth and for zero electron-phonon coupling, and is accurate everywhere in the parameter space. The approximation is first used to investigate the Holstein model. A detailed analysis of its accuracy is provided through diagrammatics and spectral weight sum rules. It is shown that the resulting Green's function satisfies exactly the first six spectral weight sum rules, and all higher order sum rules are satisfied with great accuracy. Comparison with numerical data also confirms this accuracy. We then show how to improve the MA approximation by systematically improving the accuracy of the self-energy diagrams in such a way that they can still all be summed efficiently. This allows us to fix some of the problems of the zeroth-order MA approximation. The quantitative agreement with numerical data is also improved. Next, we generalize the MA approximation to study the properties of models with momentum-dependent electron-phonon coupling, and then show that further improvements can be obtained based on variational considerations, using the 1D breathing-mode Hamiltonian as a specific example. For example, by using this variational MA, we obtain ground state energies within at most 0.3% error of the numerical data. Finally, we study the effects of a nearby surface on the spectral weight of a Holstein polaron. The broken translational symmetry is accounted for without any additional approximations, and the resulting inhomogeneous MA approximation continues to be accurate for all coupling strengths. We show that the surface changes properties significantly, with bulk values being recovered only very far away from it. We find that the electron-phonon coupling gives rise to an additional surface potential which is responsible for binding surface states even when they are not normally expected. These results demonstrate that interpretation in terms of bulk properties of spectroscopic data sensitive only to a few surface layers is not straightforward.

description: Currently, stroke is a common and devastating condition, which is sometimes associated with permanent cerebral damages. Although in early time after stroke, the related treatments are mainly focused on the restoration of cerebral blood flow (CBF), at the same time, some changes are commencing that continue for a long time and need to be specially noticed. Previous studies have proposed several molecular mechanisms in these post-stroke events. Exosomes are a type of vesicle, which are formed and secreted by most cells as a mean to transfer cellular constituents such as proteins, DNA and/or RNA to distant cells. Therefore, they are considered as a novel mechanism of cellular communication. Herein, we reviewed the current knowledge on cascades, which are activated after stroke and consequently lead to the reorganization and/or continuance of tissue damage and development of other disorders such as Neurodegenerative diseases (ND). Thereafter, we summarized the latest proofs about the possible participation of exosomes in transferring some components such as proteins and micro-RNAs (miRs), from the affected areas to other parts of the brain and eventually cause the above-mentioned post-stroke events.

research outcomes

description: Research funders and research organisations both require feedback on the progress, productivity and quality of the research they support. This information originates with researchers, but may be captured in a variety of systems including University CRIS/IR and funder systems. In 2014 all 7 national Research Councils (collectively referred to as RCUK) implemented a harmonised approach to the collection of research output data, currently supported by Researchfish Ltd (referred to as the Researchfish® system). In 2016 this process is gathering feedback from over 60,000 researchers in all UK Universities, and for funders in the USA, Canada, Denmark and the Netherlands, tracking more than £40billion of public and charity research investment and is adding to a dataset of more than 1.5 million outputs. Researchers, research managers and funders want to find ways to capture this data once and achieve wide re-use of the information. Working together University and Research Council officers, Researchfish Ltd. and Jisc have highlighted that it is important for the “interoperability” between research information systems to be improved. These organisations have started a programme of work to improve the bi-directional flow of information between University and funder systems.

description: Seismology of stars is strongly developing. To address this question we have formed an international collaboration OPAC to perform specific experimental measurements, compare opacity calculations and improve the opacity calculations in the stellar codes [1]. We consider the following opacity codes: SCO, CASSANDRA, STA, OPAS, LEDCOP, OP, SCO-RCG. Their comparison has shown large differences for Fe and Ni in equivalent conditions of envelopes of type II supernova precursors, temperatures between 15 and 40 eV and densities of a few mg/cm3 [2, 3, 4]. LEDCOP, OPAS, SCO-RCG structure codes and STA give similar results and differ from OP ones for the lower temperatures and for spectral interval values [3]. In this work we discuss the role of Configuration Interaction (CI) and the influence of the number of used configurations. We present and include in the opacity code comparisons new HULLAC-v9 calculations [5, 6] that include full CI. To illustrate the importance of this effect we compare different CI approximations (modes) available in HULLAC-v9 [7]. These results are compared to previous predictions and to experimental data. Differences with OP results are discussed.

TDM
barriers

description: The poster describes the FutureTDM project. Aims of the project are the identification of current barriers through policy analysis and consultation with researchers, developers, publishers, and SMEs and the description of recommendations that address and reduce the barriers on a legal, policy and organisational level. In this way, the uptake of TDM will be increased through the provision of advice and guidance on legal issues and best practices for TDM and an increased awareness of the availability of tools, services, and content. Moreover, FutureTDM will increase the engagement of stakeholders via a live web platform (www.futureTDM.eu) that will host the variety of monitoring tools, reports, practices on the co‐creation of knowledge and via a series of workshops that will increase the dialogue and act to showcase the innovative potential of TDM.

description: Der Peregrine Breather, eine analytische Lösung der Nichtlinearen Schroedingergleichung, wird modifiziert, um punkt- und zeitgenau eine zuvor in Form, Höhe und Steilheit definierte nichtlineare Extremwelle in einen beliebigen gerichteten Seegang zu induzieren. Dazu wird zunächst eine Parameterstudie des Störungsterms der instabilen Peregrine Modulation zur Formgebung der Extremwelle durchgeführt. Dabei wird die Phasenmodulation als die entscheidende Störung für die nichtlineare, wachsende Breather-Instabilität identifiziert. Mit diesem Erkenntnisstand wird das Induzieren einer vorbestimmten Extremwelle in nicht uniforme Trägerwellen und sogar irreguläre, gerichtete Seegänge dargestellt, die Grenzen ermittelt und die Dynamiken mittels Phasen- und Spektralanalyse über Zeit und Raum analysiert. Die Ergebnisse werden mit einer realen, auf der Nordsee gemessenen Monsterwelle verglichen und zudem wird sowohl ein Reverse Engineering als auch eine Vorhersagemethode solcher nichtlinearer Extremwellen skizziert.
description: The Peregrine Breather, an analytical solution of the Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation, is modified to induce locally and temporally accurate, predefined extreme wave events in an arbitrary directed sea state. To this end, a parameter study of the distortion term of the unstable Peregrine modulation is performed to enforce form, height, and steepness of the rogue wave. In addition, the phase modulation is identified to be the crucial perturbation for the nonlinear Breather dynamic. With this knowledge, the inducing of a predefined rogue wave in non-uniform carrier waves and even in irregular, directed sea states is presented, its limits determined, and the Breather dynamics analyzed by spectral and phase evolution analysis in time and space. The results are compared to the dynamics of real occurred extreme waves and a reverse engineering as well as a forecast model for nonlinear real rogue waves are depicted briefly.

description: Magnetization has been measured for polycrystalline samples of LaCo1-xRhxO3 (0 {\leq} x {\leq} 0.9) in order to investigate magnetism induced in the solid solution of two nonmagnetic end phases of LaCoO3 and LaRhO3. It is found that a ferromagnetic transition is observed below 15 K in the range of x from 0.1 to 0.4. The effective Bohr magnetic moment evaluated from the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility at around room temperature is independent of x for 0 < x < 0.5 (approximately 3 μB per formula unit), and rapidly decreases above x = 0.5. On the basis of detailed magnetization measurements, the spin state and magnetic ordering of LaCo1-xRhxO3 are discussed.
