description: Magnetic Feshbach resonances have allowed great success in the production of ultracold diatomic molecules from bi-alkali mixtures, but have so far eluded observation in mixtures of alkali and alkaline-earth-like atoms. Inelastic collisional properties of ultracold atomic systems exhibit resonant behavior in the vicinity of such resonances, providing a detection signature. We study magnetic field dependent inelastic effects via atom loss spectroscopy in an ultracold heteronuclear mixture of alkali $^6$Li in the ground state and alkaline-earth-like $^{174}$Yb in an excited electronic metastable state ($^3$P$_2$, m$_J$ = -1). We observe a variation of the interspecies inelastic two-body rate coefficient by nearly one order of magnitude over a 100-520G magnetic field range. By comparing to ab-initio calculations we link our observations to interspecies Feshbach resonances arising from anisotropic interactions in this novel collisional system.

description: Cosmic shear is the distortion of images of distant galaxies due to weak gravitational lensing by the large-scale structure in the Universe. Such images are coherently deformed by the tidal field of matter inhomogeneities along the line of sight. By measuring galaxy shape correlations, we can study the properties and evolution of structure on large scales as well as the geometry of the Universe. Thus, cosmic shear has become a powerful probe into the nature of dark matter and the origin of the current accelerated expansion of the Universe. Over the last years, cosmic shear has evolved into a reliable and robust cosmological probe, providing measurements of the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of its structure. We review here the principles of weak gravitational lensing and show how cosmic shear is interpreted in a cosmological context. Then we give an overview of weak-lensing measurements, and present the main observational cosmic-shear results since it was discovered 15 years ago, as well as the implications for cosmology. We then conclude with an outlook on the various future surveys and missions, for which cosmic shear is one of the main science drivers, and discuss promising new weak cosmological lensing techniques for future observations.

description: We have analysed 18 ALMA continuum maps in Bands 6 and 7, with rms down to 7.8$μ$Jy, to derive differential number counts down to 60$μ$Jy and 100$μ$Jy at $λ=$1.3 mm and $λ=$1.1 mm, respectively. The area covered by the combined fields is $\rm 9.5\times10^{-4}deg^2$ at 1.1mm and $\rm 6.6\times10^{-4}deg^{2}$ at 1.3mm. We improved the source extraction method by requiring that the dimension of the detected sources be consistent with the beam size. This method enabled us to remove spurious detections that have plagued the purity of the catalogues in previous studies. We detected 50 faint sources with S/N$>$3.5 down to 60$μ$Jy, hence improving the statistics by a factor of four relative to previous studies. The inferred differential number counts are $\rm dN/d(Log_{10}S)=1\times10^5~deg^2$ at a 1.1 mm flux $S_{λ= 1.1~mm} = 130~μ$Jy, and $\rm dN/d(Log_{10}S)=1.1\times10^5~deg^2$ at a 1.3 mm flux $\rm S_{λ= 1.3~mm} = 60~μ$Jy. At the faintest flux limits, i.e. 30$μ$Jy and 40$μ$Jy, we obtain upper limits on the differential number counts of $\rm dN/d(Log_{10}S) < 7\times10^5~deg^2$ and $\rm dN/d(Log_{10}S)<3\times10^5~deg^2$, respectively. Our results provide a new lower limit to CIB intensity of 17.2${\rm Jy\ deg^{-2}}$ at 1.1mm and of 12.9${\rm Jy\ deg^{-2}}$ at 1.3mm. Moreover, the flattening of the integrated number counts at faint fluxes strongly suggests that we are probably close to the CIB intensity. Our data imply that galaxies with SFR$<40~M_{\odot}/yr$ certainly contribute less than 50% to the CIB while more than 50% of the CIB must be produced by galaxies with $\rm SFR>40~M_{\odot}/yr$. The differential number counts are in nice agreement with recent semi-analytical models of galaxy formation even as low as our faint fluxes. Consequently, this supports the galaxy evolutionary scenarios and assumptions made in these models.

description: We have investigated the strong gravitational lensing for the photons coupled to Weyl tensor in a Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. We find that in the four-dimensional black hole spacetime the equation of motion of the photons depends not only on the coupling between photon and Weyl tensor, but also on the polarization direction of the photons. It is quite different from that in the case of the usual photon without coupling to Weyl tensor in which the equation of motion is independent of the polarization of the photon. Moreover, we find that the coupling and the polarization direction modify the properties of the photon sphere, the deflection angle, the coefficients in strong field lensing, and the observational gravitational lensing variables. Combining with the supermassive central object in our Galaxy, we estimated three observables in the strong gravitational lensing for the photons coupled to Weyl tensor.

description: Inadequate access to treatment for behavioral health disorders has been a long-standing health care challenge in the U.S. This is due in part to disparate barriers to insurance coverage for access to treatment for behavioral health disorders as compared to general medical conditions. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), also known as Parity Act, was implemented nationally in 2010 and requires health plans to achieve parity between behavioral health benefits and medical/surgical benefits. This paper reviews the outcomes of MHPAEA implementation and discusses strategies to continue to improve behavioral health care access beyond parity laws.

description: We present multi-wavelength observations of the hyper-energetic gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130907A, a Swift-discovered burst with early radio observations starting at $\approx 4$ hr after the $γ$-ray trigger. GRB 130907A was also detected by the Fermi/LAT instrument and, at late times, showed a strong spectral evolution in X-rays. We focus on the early-time radio observations, especially at $>10 $ GHz, to attempt identifying reverse shock signatures. While our radio follow-up of GRB 130907A ranks among the earliest observations of a GRB with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), we did not see an unambiguous signature of a reverse shock. While a model with both reverse and forward-shock can correctly describe the observations, the data is not constraining enough to decide upon the presence of the reverse-shock component. We model the broad-band data using a simple forward-shock synchrotron scenario with a transition from a wind environment to a constant density interstellar medium (ISM) in order to account for the observed features. Within the confines of this model, we also derive the underlying physical parameters of the fireball, which are within typical ranges except for the wind density parameter ($A_*$), which is higher than those for bursts with wind-ISM transition, but typical for the general population of bursts. We note the importance of early-time radio observations of the afterglow (and of well sampled light curves) to unambiguously identify the potential contribution of the reverse shock.

description: In this work, we analyze three dominant single SM-like Higgs boson production processes in the left-right twin Higgs model (LRTHM): the Higgs-strahlung (HS) process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow Zh$, the vector boson fusion (VBF) process $e^{+}e^{-}\to ν\barνh$ and the associate production with top pair process $e^{+}e^{-}\to t\bar{t}h$ for three possible energy stages of the International Linear Collider (ILC), and compared our results with the expected experimental accuracies for various accessible Higgs decay channels. The following observations have been obtained: (i) In the reasonable parameter space, the LRTHM can generate moderate contributions to theses processes with polarized beams; (ii) Among various Higgs boson decay channels, the $b\bar{b}$ signal strength is most sensitive to the LRTHM due to the high expected precision. For the $t\bar{t}h$ production process, the absolute value of $μ_{b\bar{b}}$ may deviate from the SM prediction by over $8.7\%$ and thus may be detectable at the future ILC with $\sqrt{s}=1$ TeV; (iii) The future ILC experiments may give strong limit on the scale parameter $f$: for the case of ILC-250 GeV, for example, the lower limit for parameter $f$ of the LRTHM is $f > 1150$ GeV at the $2σ$ level.

description: Artificial Intelligence is an epochal revolution, a real evolutionary leap in humanity, in both the cognitive sphere and that of material and social consequences. In the military, its enormous impact is looming: the Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems introduce changes in the art of war to make the advent of firearms pale between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and in this sense they can be equated only to nuclear weapons. The essay aims to examine the issues and problems inherent in the advent of autonomous weapons, not even remotely piloted by humans, in both the tactical and strategic spheres. We also try to consider the problem from the point of view of both classical war theory and international law. The positive effects of this technological revolution are discussed in the course of the text and do not constitute a separate chapter.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The Georgi-Machacek model adds two SU(2)_L-triplet scalars to the Standard Model in such a way as to preserve custodial SU(2) symmetry. We study the generalizations of the Georgi-Machacek model to SU(2)_L representations larger than triplets. Perturbative unitarity considerations limit the possibilities to models containing only SU(2)_L quartets, quintets, or sextets. These models are phenomenologically interesting because they allow the couplings of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to WW and ZZ to be larger than their values in the Standard Model. We write down the most general custodial SU(2)-preserving scalar potentials for these models and outline their phenomenology. We find that experimental and theoretical constraints on the fermiophobic custodial-fiveplet states present in each of the models lead to absolute upper bounds on the 125 GeV Higgs boson coupling strength to WW and ZZ.

Modeling Kinetically-Limited IEPOX-SOA Uptake via Volatility based and Compositionally defined Glass Transition Temperatures in CMAQ5.3
Creators: name: Farrell, Sara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: A major assumption in air quality models is that the organic and inorganic constituents found in aerosols are internally mixed. In recent years studies have shown that these aerosols can in fact form organic coatings with an inorganic core. This core-shell morphology has implications on human health, cloud condensation nuclei, and secondary organic aerosol formation via . Previous work indicated that both phase separation and phase state can be predicted in the air quality model framework of the Community Multi-Scale Air Quality (CMAQ) model, however, was not able to accurately constrain the impacts of aerosol liquid water (ALW) on phase state.  This study aims to implement the aforementioned phase state determinations and Tg equations into the latest iteration of CMAQ, version 5.3, which contains updates in monoterpene, anthropogenic volatile organic compounds and organic aerosol liquid water. Furthermore, a renaissance of laboratory-based studies on organic aerosol Tg have developed new equations based on oxygen-to-carbon ratios (O:C), saturation concentrations (C0), and the combination of the two. Taking advantage of these new implementations, and new organic aerosol liquid water estimates in CMAQ 5.3, this study evaluates the effect of various Tg parameterizations on phase state and multiphase chemical reactions of IEPOX-derived SOA. Model output for each parameterization will be compared to each other and to observational data. This research aims to support future model development of CMAQ and to inform future experimental work further investigating how oxygenated organic coatings can impact multiphase chemical reactions leading to aerosol formation.

description: Recently, research capability has received an overwhelming and remarkable interest among academics and practitioners. This is timely since the Department of Education had institutionalized research and encouraged teachers to engage in it to support evidence-based practice, decision-making, policy, and program development. On these premises, a study was carried out to assess the research capability of public teachers in Malaybalay City, determine its correlates and determinants. It utilized descriptive, correlational, and explanatory designs. It administered survey questionnaires to 92 participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that teachers were slightly capable of conducting research and having neutral attitudes toward it, motivated to write research, had a high level of difficulties in research processes, and moderately capable of action planning. They also show evidence of potential in mentoring. Further, mentoring and action planning skills, motivation to write research, attitudes toward research, and the number of studies completed by teachers were the correlates of their research capability at different magnitudes of the relationship. Notably, the research capability of teachers had a low, negative but significant relationship with their age and accumulated years of service. Thus, this capability deteriorates as they age and accumulate years of service. The motivation to write research, the number of studies completed, and age were the determinants of research capability. It was concluded that research capability can be determined and predicted by how motivated teachers are to write research, how productive they are in research, and how young they are when they engage in this rigorous endeavor. The study identified and recommended topics for continuing professional development.

description: Verso il 1560, Filippo II di Spagna commissionò la realizzazione di un “monaco meccanico”, un piccolo automa umanoide che aveva l’abilità di muoversi e camminare. Secoli dopo, è stato creato un robot umanoide cattolico. Con l’apparenza di una statua di un santo e alcune abilità interattive, è fatto su misura per utenti cattolici per vari utilizzi. Il robot contiene un sistema di dialogo, che integrato nella comunicazione multimodale composta da visione, tocco, voce e luci, guida l’interazione con gli utenti. La creazione di SanTO offre nuovi spunti sul concetto di sacralità applicato in un robot, e sul ruolo dell’automazione della religione. Se da un lato la religione può essere usata come strumento per rendere i robot più familiari agli utenti, dall’altro questo connubio presenta nuovi quesiti etici e necessita risposte e regolamentazione.

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

Subjects: subject: Microbiology.

description: This thesis reports an autecological study on an apple rotting isolate of Penicillium expansum. The study was concerned with the survival and growth of the fungus in the soil, in the rhizospheres of apple, broad bean, maize and tomato, and in plant litter. P. expansum spores did not germinate in natural soil but could remain viable (68%) for up to one year at least. Spores germinated and developed to form conidia microcyclically in soil sterilized by autoclaving. Spores germinated in natural soil after the addition of nutrients, in the form of malt extract broth, indicating that nutrient deficiency might be one factor determining spore dormancy. Evidence was also obtained to show that non-volatile diffusible inhibitors of spore germination were present in natural soil. Heat treatment of natural soil at 80°C destroyed the inhibitory effect whereas treatment at 60°C had no effect although it destroyed most fungi and bacteria isolatable on Malt extract agar or Modified Hutchinson's agar. If nutrient deficiency were the inhibitory factor the release of nutrients from the micro-organisms killed by treatment at 60°C should have stimulated germination. Thus the activities of other micro-organisms in the soil, probably through the heat labile inhibitors they produced, were the main factors inhibiting germination. Some of the fungi which survived at 60°C for 6h were inhibitory to the growth of P. expansum in culture. The experiments on the survival of spores and of spore germination and growth in the rhizospheres of apple, broad bean, maize and tomato showed that spores could germinate and the fungus could grow in the rhizospheres of all three plant species. P. expansum was observed to grow occasionally closely attached to the root surfaces of broad bean, maize and tomato. It was never observed to invade the internal root tissues of tomato. The other two species were not investigated for the colonization of the internal tissue. The removal of the inhibition of spore germination in the rhizospheres could have been due to the effect of root exudates either serving as nutrients or as inactivators of inhibitory factors. The presence of P. expansum in the rhizospheres of tomato plants can affect plant growth to a limited extent. Inoculum in the rhizosphere slightly reduced stem height and total leaf area but had no effect on total dry matter, the number of leaves or the development of reproductive structures. Colonization by P. expansum of root and leaf litter from apple in the soil in the presence of other soil micro-organisms was very low. However it could survive in apple root tissues if the apple root was colonized before addition to the soil.

description: Gaussian process regression is a popular method for non-parametric probabilistic modeling of functions. The Gaussian process prior is characterized by so-called hyperparameters, which often have a large influence on the posterior model and can be difficult to tune. This work provides a method for numerical marginalization of the hyperparameters, relying on the rigorous framework of sequential Monte Carlo. Our method is well suited for online problems, and we demonstrate its ability to handle real-world problems with several dimensions and compare it to other marginalization methods. We also conclude that our proposed method is a competitive alternative to the commonly used point estimates maximizing the likelihood, both in terms of computational load and its ability to handle multimodal posteriors.

description: In this paper we argue that a firewall is simply a manifestation of an inconsistent truncation of non-perturbative effects that unitarize the semiclassical black hole. Namely, we show that a naive truncation of quantum corrections to the Hawking spectrum at order ${\cal O}(e^{-S})$, inexorably leads to a "localised'' divergent energy density near the black hole horizon. Nevertheless, in the same approximation, a distant observer only sees a discretised spectrum and concludes that unitarity is achieved by ${\cal O}(e^{-S})$ effects. This is due to the fact that instead, the correct quantum corrections to the Hawking spectrum go like ${\cal O}( g^{tt} e^{-S})$. Therefore, while at a distance far away from the horizon, where $g^{tt}\approx 1$, quantum corrections {\it are} perturbative, they {\it do} diverge close to the horizon, where $g^{tt}\rightarrow \infty$. Nevertheless, these "corrections" nicely re-sum so that correlations functions are smooth at the would-be black hole horizon. Thus, we conclude that the appearance of firewalls is just a signal of the breaking of the semiclassical approximation at the Page time, even for large black holes.

description: Investigating school performance and competencies, especially on leadership, received a considerable attention in the past. In fact, there have been multitudes of evidence that leadership can impact school performance, student achievement, or outcome. Also, there was no single measurement of school performance. This study examined the influence of leadership and core behavioral competencies on the school performance of school heads. This was to build a new model of school performance. Using an explanatory research design, it administered a survey questionnaire to 192 randomly chosen school heads from the 37 districts of Department of Education Division of Surigao del Sur. Also, it used data mining for the performance ratings of school heads from the division office. Regression analysis tested three hypothesized models of school performance where leadership and core behavior competencies serve as independent variables. Results showed that leading people was a significant predictor of school performance. Thus, leading people can best explain the school improvement as a proposed model. The results have implications for future research, leadership practice, and theoretical development of school performance model among school heads.

In general, the reduced symmetry of the surrounding splits the $d$ states and aligns the magnetic moment along certain favorable directions. Here, we show that we can reversibly modify the magnetocrystalline anisotropy by manipulating the environment of single iron(II) porphyrin molecules adsorbed on Pb(111) with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope. When we decrease the tip--molecule distance, we first observe a small increase followed by an exponential decrease of the axial anisotropy on the molecules. This is in contrast to the monotonous increase observed earlier for the same molecule with an additional axial Cl ligand. We ascribe the changes in the anisotropy of both species to a deformation of the molecules in the presence of the attractive force of the tip, which leads to a change in the $d$ level alignment. These experiments demonstrate the feasibility of a precise tuning of the magnetic anisotropy of an individual molecule by mechanical control.

description: Individuals with high self-concept will likely have high life satisfaction, they easily get adjusted to life, and they communicate their feeling more appropriately. However, it was not certain whether self-concept would decline or improve as individuals age, or whether self-concept would vary between genders and ethnic groups. To prove, a study was carried out to compare the self-concept of college students in an Asian context. The inquiry utilized the cross-sectional design in finding out significant differences in the self-concept of participants in terms of age, gender, and ethnicity. A 22-item questionnaire was adapted and administered to 222 Bachelor of Public Administration and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration students from the satellite campus of Bukidnon State University in the Philippines. Initially, a sample was randomly drawn from the population. During the actual data collection, the researchers had difficulty getting the responses from the randomly selected individuals due to internet connection and it was done amidst a pandemic. Instead, it took all responses from those who were available, have access to the internet, and could accomplish the google forms. The data were analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation, T-test for independent sample, ANOVA and Post Hoc test. The results revealed that college students at the locale have a high level of self-concept in self-fulfillment, emotional adjustment, and honesty. Yet, they only had a moderate level of self-concept in autonomy. Further, there were significant differences in college students’ autonomy and honesty in terms of age and gender. Furthermore, there were significant differences in their emotional adjustment and self-fulfillment as to their ethnicity. The results have implications for instruction, administration, guidance services, and future research.

Why Is The Neutrino Oscillation Formula Expanded In $Δm_{21}^{2}/Δm_{31}^{2}$ Still Accurate Near The Solar Resonance In Matter?

description: The conventional approximate formula for neutrino oscillation in matter which is obtained from the expansion in terms of the ratio of mass square differences $α=Δm_{21}^{2}/Δm_{31}^{2}\approx0.03$, first proposed by Cervera, et al and Freund, turns out to be an accurate formula for accelerator neutrino experiments. Originally it required the neutrino energy to be well above the solar resonance to validate the expansion but it is found to be still very accurate when the formula is extrapolated to the resonance, which is practically important for the T2K experiment. This paper shows that the accuracy is guaranteed by cancellations of branch cut singularities and also, for the first time, analytically computes the actual error of the formula. The actual error implies that the original requirement can be safely removed in current experiments.

description: The "dark flow" dipole is a statistically significant dipole found at the position of galaxy clusters in filtered maps of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies. The dipole measured in WMAP 3, 5 and 7 yr data releases was 1) mutually consistent, 2) roughly aligned with the all-sky CMB dipole and 3) correlated with clusters' X-ray luminosity. We analyzed WMAP 9 yr and the 1st yr Planck data releases using a catalog of 980 clusters outside the Kp0 mask to test our earlier findings. The dipoles measured on these new data sets are fully compatible with our earlier estimates, being similar in amplitude and direction to our previous results and in disagreement with the results of an earlier study by the Planck Collaboration. Further, in Planck datasets dipoles are found independent of frequency, ruling out the Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich as the source of the effect. Both, in WMAP and Planck, we find a clear correlation between the dipole measured at the cluster location in filtered maps with the average anisotropy on the original maps, further proving that the dipole is associated with clusters. The dipole signal is dominated by the most massive clusters, with a statistical significance better than 99\%, slightly larger than in WMAP. Since both data sets differ in foreground contributions, instrumental noise and other systematics, the agreement between WMAP and Planck dipoles argues against them being due to systematic effects in either of the experiments.

description: Higher education institutions are expected to produce quality and competitive graduates for the job market and nation-building. In realizing this role, the Bukidnon State University needs to ensure that graduates may land a job-relevant and aligned with their education and training. With this, a tracer study was conducted to verify whether the three batches of graduates are employed and are employable. It ascertained their employability based on their work experience from graduation to the present job. It employed a cross-sectional method and data mining for the information of 326 graduates. The results revealed that the majority of graduates had jobs relevant to their education and training; yet, there was a significant difference in the employability of graduates across batches, except in terms of gender. Biological Science, Social Studies, and Math graduates were employable within the first six and twelve months compared to graduates from other curricula. It was claimed that the BukSU had prepared BSE graduates for employment. These results have implications for the strategic options in improving the programs. The study made some recommendations for future tracer initiatives

description: The Next Art will be the art of the Next Society. Sociologist and cultural theorist Dirk Baecker coined the term Next Society (Baecker 2007) in order to describe a society based on the computer and built his argument on the assumption that nothing influences societal
structures and cultural forms as significantly as the respective dominating media technology of their time. In the long run, the introduction of the computer will affect society as dramatically as the introduction of language, writing and the printing press. Art and Art Education will not be unaffected. Drawing upon Baecker’s ideas – and hence in asking for adequate reactions in the field – the invention of a Next Art Education attempts to transfer common approaches in art education to future cultural contexts. To address this ‘terrain vague’, we suggest a serious shift of focus in favour of “the now” and constant consideration of the potentials of the future. The article presents nine fundamental propositions for a NEXT understanding of Art Education and discusses these and the consequences in more detail focusing on two particular aspects: ‘risk’ as a potential of the possible, and ‘shifts’, instead of turns, in knowledge production.
Interaction-Driven Topological Insulator in Fermionic Cold Atoms on an Optical Lattice: A Design with a Density Functional Formalism

description: We design an interaction-driven topological insulator for fermionic cold atoms in an optical lattice, that is, we pose the question of whether we can realize in a continuous space a spontaneous symmetry breaking induced by the inter-atom interaction into a topological Chern insulator. Such a state, sometimes called a "topological Mott insulator", has yet to be realized in solid-state systems, since this requires, in the tight-binding model, large offsite interactions on top of a small onsite interaction. Here we overcome the difficulty by introducing a spin-dependent potential, where a spin-selective occupation of fermions in $A$ and $B$ sublattices makes the onsite interaction Pauli-forbidden, while a sizeable inter-site interaction is achieved by a shallow optical potential with a large overlap between neighboring Wannier orbitals. This puts the system away from the tight-binding model, so that we adopt the density functional theory for cold-atoms, here extended to accommodate non-collinear spin structures emerging in the topological regime, to quantitatively demonstrate the phase transition to the topological Mott insulator.

description: Recently, research capability has received an overwhelming and remarkable interest among academics and practitioners. This is timely since the Department of Education had institutionalized research and encouraged teachers to engage in it to support evidence-based practice, decision-making, policy, and program development. On these premises, a study was carried out to assess the research capability of public teachers in Malaybalay City, determine its correlates and determinants. It utilized descriptive, correlational, and explanatory designs. It administered survey questionnaires to 92 participants. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that teachers were slightly capable of conducting research and having neutral attitudes toward it, motivated to write research, had a high level of difficulties in research processes, and moderately capable of action planning. They also show evidence of potential in mentoring. Further, mentoring and action planning skills, motivation to write research, attitudes toward research, and the number of studies completed by teachers were the correlates of their research capability at different magnitudes of the relationship. Notably, the research capability of teachers had a low, negative but significant relationship with their age and accumulated years of service. Thus, this capability deteriorates as they age and accumulate years of service. The motivation to write research, the number of studies completed, and age were the determinants of research capability. It was concluded that research capability can be determined and predicted by how motivated teachers are to write research, how productive they are in research, and how young they are when they engage in this rigorous endeavor. The study identified and recommended topics for continuing professional development.
