Escape Room didattiche

description: Questo lavoro di diploma valuta l’impatto dell’utilizzo di Escape Room didattiche come approccio per lo sviluppo della competenza trasversale della collaborazione, la competenza di problem solving e migliorare la percezione dell’errore nel contesto della matematica. L’approccio utilizzato ha un design quasi-sperimentale in cui sono coinvolte due classi di seconda media della sede di Acquarossa: una sperimentale, sottoposta all’intervento prendendo parte a tre Escape Room didattiche di tipologie diverse; e una di controllo, soggetta unicamente a questionari e osservazioni. I dati vengono raccolti prima e dopo l’intervento in entrambe le classi e con le medesime modalità, e combinano approcci quantitativi e qualitativi. I risultati evidenziano un impatto significativo delle Escape Room nello sviluppo delle competenze collaborative e nella percezione dell’errore. Rispetto alle capacità di problem solving emerge un miglioramento limitato in alcune delle sue fasi: ciononostante si osserva un significativo avanzamento nella dimensione dello svolgimento, attribuito alle capacità di pensiero più aperto e più divergente sviluppato grazie all’ambiente enigmatico e creativo che caratterizza le Escape Room. Questi dati permettono di concludere che le Escape Room didattiche risultano essere un approccio efficace per lo sviluppo di tutti gli aspetti considerati nella ricerca. Materia: Matematica.

description: We report results of initial work done on selected candidate Cepheids to be observed with the Kepler space telescope. Prior to the launch 40 candidates were selected from previous surveys and databases. The analysis of the first 322 days of Kepler photometry, and recent ground-based follow-up multicolour photometry and spectroscopy allowed us to confirm that one of these stars, V1154 Cyg (KIC 7548061), is indeed a 4.9-d Cepheid. Using the phase lag method we show that this star pulsates in the fundamental mode. New radial velocity data are consistent with previous measurements, suggesting that a long-period binary component is unlikely. No evidence is seen in the ultra-precise, nearly uninterrupted Kepler photometry for nonradial or stochastically excited modes at the micromagnitude level. The other candidates are not Cepheids but an interesting mix of possible spotted stars, eclipsing systems and flare stars.

description: We consider the Rankin-Selberg L-functions associated with a fixed modular form of full level and holomorphic cuspidal newforms of large even weight, fixed level and fixed primitive nebentypus. We compute the second moment of this family in fairly general ranges, and obtain an asymptotic formula with a power saving error term. A special case treats the fourth moment of L-functions associated with holomorphic cusp forms.

description: L’acquisizione graduale dei linguaggi specifici della disciplina, attraverso esperienze in aula, chiacchierate informali e scrittura di protocolli hanno condotto gli allievi alla consapevolezza e alla formalizzazione del pensiero. L’approccio è stato il “fare”. Le attività proposte sono caratterizzate dalla “costruzione” del proprio bagaglio di conoscenze e abilità attraverso l’azione pratica, iconica e linguistica, azioni accompagnate dal dialogo dalle riflessioni condivise, soprattutto nei momenti in cui si formulano delle ipotesi, si sperimenta e si ricercano soluzioni. Le conclusioni di questa ricerca suggeriscono che l’uso abituale di diversi registri semiotici e le loro trasformazioni favoriscono gli apprendimenti concettuali e strategici.

Neutron-Inelastic-Scattering Peak by Dissipationless Mechanism in the s++ -wave State in Iron-based Superconductors
Creators: name: Onari, Seiichiro

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the neutron scattering spectrum in iron pnictides based on the random-phase approximation in the five-orbital model with a realistic superconducting (SC) gap, Delta=5meV. In the normal state, the neutron spectrum is suppressed by large inelastic quasi-particle (QP) scattering rate gamma* ~ Delta. In the fully-gapped s-wave state without sign reversal (s++), a hump-shaped enhancement appears in the neutron spectrum just above 2Delta, since the inelastic QP scattering is prohibited by the SC gap. That is, the hump structure is produced by the dissipationless QPs for Ek<3Delta. The obtained result is more consistent with experimental spectra, compared to the results of our previous paper with Delta=50meV. On the other hand, both height and weight of the resonance peak in the fully-gapped s-wave states with sign reversal (s+-) are much larger than those observed in experiments. We conclude that experimentally observed broad spectral peak in iron pnictides is created by the present "dissipationless mechanism" in the s++ -wave state.

description: Music can often convey a powerful story. Within the genre of rock music, those stories can be told through concept albums. However, the structure of this modern form has connections to centuries-old forms like epic poetry and song cycles. Within rock music, concept albums are popular within progressive rock; however other sub-genres such as classic rock have used this structure as well. A great example of a concept album is The Rising by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. This album was released in 2002 to reflect on the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Through motives, lyrics, and orchestration, Springsteen unifies the album with a narrative of great tragedy tempered by longing and hope for a better future. Throughout his career, Springsteen has written music that is rich in narrative and imagery, two unifying factors in The Rising. Much of Springsteen’s lyrical imagery and inspiration for songwriting, from his early experiences in New Jersey, particularly from his family and religion. The Rising uses imagery of Mary and resurrection as a connective thread unifying its songs. Just as song cycles create unity through narrative, motives, and orchestration so too do concept albums such as The Rising. The advancement of recording technology throughout the twentieth century helped transform the modern structure of a concept album we see today in the twenty-first century. In my analysis, The Rising can be seen as a unified concept album and example of the evolution of musical storytelling in rock.

description: Here we report the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of Fe doped La0.7Ca0.3Mn1-xFexO3 with x = 0.0 to 1.0 prepared by conventional solid state reaction method. Simulated data on XRD shows an increase in volume with an increase in Fe ion concentration. XPS supports that Fe3+ ions directly substitute Mn3+ ions. Shifting towards lower wave-number and symmetric IR band structure confirms increase in volume and homogeneous distribution of Fe ions. Fe ion doesn't contribute in double-exchange (DE) conduction mechanism due to its stable half filled 3d orbital. The presence of Fe3+ ions encourages anti-ferromagnetism (AFM) generated by super-exchange interaction and suppress insulator-metal transition temperature (TIM). Magnetic measurements show the existence of magnetic polarons supported by increase in volume of unit cell and deviation from Curie-Weiss law.

description: This study examines social and demographic factors that influence Black student outcomes while attending a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). Specifically, this research describes the likelihood of Black students’ favorably rating their educational experience and their likelihood of reattending California State University Fullerton (CSUF). Data from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) for CSUF (2020 – 2022) is used to explore how race, interactions with campus personnel, and students’ sense of belonging influence student’s satisfaction of their educational experience and their likelihood of reattending CSUF. A set of nested models generated with RStudio are used to first see the effects of demographic variables. Then variables measuring the quality of interactions between respondents, students, advisors, and faculty were incorporated to understand the effects of social interactions on the dependent variables. Lastly, variables measuring students’ sense of belonging were incorporated to illustrate the effects of students’ sense of belonging on the dependent variables. The results suggests that while controlling for race, the quality of social interactions, and students’ sense of belonging, Black students are less likely to be satisfied with their educational experience and less likely to reattend CSUF. Although they are adequately serving their target populations, CSUF may be underserving Black students. This study may help CSUF to better serve the racial and ethnic minorities currently in attendance, and work to diversify its student body.

Per un approccio didattico alla storia sociale e di genere: l’infanzia in Europa fra Sette e Ottocento
Creators: name: Rusconi, Andrea
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2014

description: Il presente lavoro di diploma è costituito da due parti principali: la ricognizione e l’itinerario didattico. Il lavoro di ricognizione è lo strumento preparatorio all’intervento didattico in ambito di storia sociale e di genere in due classi di seconda della Scuola cantonale di commercio di Bellinzona. Attraverso l’analisi qualitativa dei dati ottenuti dalla somministrazione di un questionario anonimo, si è tracciata un’immagine più precisa delle rappresentazioni e delle preconoscenze degli studenti sul tema degli esclusi e i dimenticati dalla storia, in particolare dei bambini fra Sette e Ottocento. Per quanto riguarda l’itinerario didattico l’obbiettivo generale è quello di rendere maggiormente consapevoli gli studenti sulla condizione dell’infanzia in Europa fra Sette e Ottocento, e di portarli a riflettere sulla nozione di diritti specifici dei minori. Si è dunque insistito sulle differenze fra immagine, idea e realtà storica dell’infanzia, al fine di smontare il concetto di storia come vetrina per le élite sociali a dispetto della maggioranza della popolazione. Si è voluto soprattutto mostrare come, delle categorie sociali che apparentemente sono ai margini della società, abbiano in realtà avuto un ruolo rilevante nella costruzione della società moderna. L’ottimo riscontro espresso dagli studenti in fase di bilancio conclusivo, ha dimostrato che questo genere di tematiche interessa e favorisce un proficuo dibattito in classe sull’infanzia di ieri e di oggi, così da rendere gli studenti maggiormente consapevoli dell’utilità della storia per la comprensione del presente.

description: This article is about the experience of telephone supervision from the perspective of practitioners. It is set in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, which changed and challenged the nature of probation supervision and required service users and supervisors to communicate remotely, using the telephone, rather than by meeting face-to-face. The article explores some of the impacts and consequences of telephone contact and examines the extent to which this approach has a part to play in future, post-pandemic, ways of working. The article draws on findings from a research project examining remote supervision practice during the pandemic. Fieldwork (comprising an online survey and a series of semi-structured interviews) was conducted between July and September 2020 in three divisions within an English community rehabilitation company. The article reinforces the importance of face-to-face work in probation practice but suggests that there is scope to retain some use of telephone supervision as part of a future blended practice model. Further thinking about telephone supervision might consider these three themes identified in the research: remote working limits the sensory dimension of supervision, relationships remain at the heart of practice, and good practice requires professional discretion.

Geology, geochronology and geochemistry of the El Alacrán Deposit, San Matías District, Cordoba-Colombia
Creators: name: Manco, Julián David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The El Alacrán Deposit is located in the San Matías District (SMD) in the Northern Western Cordillera of Colombia and is associated with a Late Cretaceous pre-accretional island arc environment of the Calima Terrane. The El Alacrán Deposit comprises a replacement style of mineralization that trends northerly for about 1 km and has a vertical extent of >200 m. Ore is primarily hosted within a calcareous volcanoclastic sequence (Unit 2), which was intruded by a series of andesitic sills and tonalites (e.g. the El Alacrán Oeste Tonalite). The El Alacrán Deposit contains total resources of 82.15 Mt of 0.73-0.49% CuEq which represents ~ 87% of the total mineral resources of the SMD (94.9 Mt@ 0.71% Eq. Cu, Cordoba Minerals Corp., 2019b). The genesis and evolution of the El Alacrán Deposit had not been properly established, thus making it challenging to explore for similar deposits in the SMD. This thesis presents the results of petrographic, geochronologic (U-Pb, Ar-Ar, Re-Os), and isotopic (Pb, S) characterization of the El Alacrán Deposit ores and related representative units and prospects of the SMD. The hydrothermal alteration assemblages of the El Alacrán Deposit are zoned from early high-temperature calc-silicate alteration to a subsequent calc-potassic, sericitic, and carbonate base metal (CBM) alteration. The mineral paragenesis indicates at least three different gold precipitation events: 1) associated with pyrite – mushketovite in the calc-silicate alteration; 2) precipitation of Au electrum with chalcopyrite, traces of the pyrrhotite and molybdenite in the calc-potassic and sericitic alteration; and 3) as visible grains in the carbonate base metal-related alteration. The mineral paragenesis, Ar-Ar dates, Pb and S isotopic composition (δ34S ~ 11‰) from the El Alacrán Deposit can be explained by two different magmatic fluids with a marked interaction with seawater. The magmatic fluids might have been sourced from the El Alacrán Oeste Tonalite and a concealed intrusion (Px2) that is possibly associated with the Montiel E porphyry event (~68-70 Ma). The results suggest a hybrid model between iron oxide copper gold (IOCG)-style and a carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) that is associated with a porphyry source can best explain the El Alacrán Deposit mineralizations.

description: The Rapid Temporal Survey (RATS) explores the faint, variable sky. Our observations search a parameter space which, until now, has never been exploited from the ground. Our strategy involves observing the sky close to the Galactic plane with wide-field CCD cameras. An exposure is obtained approximately every minute with the total observation of each field lasting around 2 hours. In this paper we present the first 6 epochs of observations which were taken over 5 years from 2003--2008 and cover over 31 square degrees of which 16.2 is within 10° of the Galactic plane. The number of stars contained in these data is over 3.0 x10^6. We have developed a method of combining the output of two variability tests in order to detect variability on time-scales ranging from a few minutes to a few hours. Using this technique we find 1.2 x 10^5 variables -- equal to 4.1 per cent of stars in our data. Follow-up spectroscopic observations have allowed us to identify the nature of a fraction of these sources. These include a pulsating white dwarf which appears to have a hot companion, a number of stars with A-type spectra that vary on a period in the range 20--35 min. Our primary goal is the discovery of new AM CVn systems: we find 66 sources which appear to show periodic modulation on a time-scales less than 40 min and a colour consistent with the known AM CVn systems. Of those sources for which we have spectra of, none appears to be an AM CVn system, although we have 12 candidate AM CVn systems with periods less than 25 min for which spectra are still required. Although our numbers are not strongly constraining, they are consistent with the predictions of Nelemans et al.

description: We present here findings for C18O depletion in eight starless cores in Taurus: TMC-2, L1498, L1512, L1489, L1517B, L1521E, L1495A-S, and L1544. We compare observations of the C18O J=2-1 transition taken with the ALMA prototype receiver on the Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope to results of radiative transfer modeling using RATRAN. We use temperature and density profiles calculated from dust continuum radiative transfer models to model the C18O emission. We present modeling of three cores, TMC-2, L1489, and L1495A-S, which have not been modeled before and compare our results for the five cores with published models. We find that all of the cores but one, L1521E, are substantially depleted. We also find that varying the temperature profiles of these model cores has a discernable effect, and varying the central density has an even larger effect. We find no trends with depletion radius or depletion fraction with the density or temperature of these cores, suggesting that the physical structure alone is insufficient to fully constrain evolutionary state. We are able to place tighter constraints on the radius at which C18O is depleted than the absolute fraction of depletion. As the timeline of chemical depletion depends sensitively on the fraction of depletion, this difficulty in constraining depletion fraction makes comparison with other timescales, such as the free-fall timescale, very difficult.

description: We study spatial self-organisation and dynamical phase-space compression of a dilute cold gas of laser-illuminated polarisable particles in an optical resonator. Deriving a non-linear Fokker--Planck equation for the particles' phase-space density allows us to treat arbitrarily large ensembles in the far-detuning limit and explicitly calculate friction forces, momentum diffusion and steady-state temperatures. In addition, we calculate the self-organisation threshold in a self-consistent analytic form. For a homogeneous ensemble below threshold the cooling rate for fixed laser power is largely independent of the particle number. Cooling leads to a $q$-Gaussian velocity distribution with a steady-state temperature determined by the cavity linewidth. Numerical simulations using large ensembles of particles confirm the analytical threshold condition for the appearance of an ordered state, where the particles are trapped in a periodic pattern and can be cooled to temperatures close to a single vibrational excitation.

description: This article builds on previous work that has sought to link assemblage theory with the study of disaster risk. Specifically, we propose that the existing idea of a ‘disaster risk management assemblage’ can be used in two ways. The first is an overall approach to analysing disaster risk. The second is to conceptualise disaster risk management assemblages as objects of study. These are the assemblages, or apparatuses, that seek to manage – but also create – disasters-in-the-making. We go on to explore how these ideas can be used in empirical research and how they can help us to imagine doing research differently.

description: The most accepted scenario for the origin of fossil groups (FGs) is that they are galaxy associations in which the merging rate was fast and efficient. These systems have assembled half of their mass at early epoch of the Universe, subsequently growing by minor mergers. They could contain a fossil record of the galaxy structure formation. We have started a project in order to characterize a large sample of FGs. In this paper we present the analysis of the fossil system RX J105453.3+552102. Optical deep images were used for studying the properties of the brightest group galaxy and for computing the photometric luminosity function of the group. We have also performed a detail dynamical analysis of the system based on redshift data for 116 galaxies. This galaxy system is located at z=0.47, and shows a quite large line-of-sight velocity dispersion σ_{v}~1000 km/s. Assuming the dynamical equilibrium, we estimated a virial mass of M ~ 10^{15} h_{70} M_{\odot}. No evidence of substructure was found within 1.4 Mpc radius. We found a statistically significant departure from Gaussianity of the group members velocities in the most external regions of the group. This could indicate the presence of galaxies in radial orbits in the external region of the group. We also found that the photometrical luminosity function is bimodal, showing a lack of M_{r} ~ -19.5 galaxies. The brightest group galaxy shows low Sersic parameter (n~2) and a small peculiar velocity. Indeed, our accurate photometry shows that the difference between the brightest and the second brightest galaxies is 1.9 mag in the r-band, while the classical definition of FGs is based on a magnitude gap of 2. We conclude that this fossil system does not follow the empirical definition of FGs. Nevertheless, it is a massive, old and undisturbed galaxy system with little infall of L^{*} galaxies since its initial collapse.

description: This article develops a wider ontology of infrastructure. It argues that infrastructures not only hasten the flow of materials but produce non-human mobilities and immobilities that radically alter the dynamics of life. Infrastructures become a medium of life as natural and infrastructural ecologies meld, reorienting notions of design, architecture, planning and governance. Non-human life itself can be cast as infrastructure, with biopolitical implications for anticipating and managing the future. An infrastructural ontology moving beyond anthropocentric familiars generates new analytics and critical openings for the politics of governing human and non-human life.
The roles of affect and sustainability education in increasing pro-environmental behaviour in a botanical garden
Creators: name: Byfuglien, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Generating behaviour change for transformation toward sustainability is a significant challenge of our time. In order to reach local and global sustainability goals, behaviour change at a large scale is not only necessary but crucial. A key question is how to promote pro-environmental behaviour. Multiple factors have been found to influence pro-environmental behaviour, including affect, environmental concerns, and environmental education. To date, the relationship between these factors is still unclear. In this thesis, I conducted a field experiment at University of British Columbia Botanical Garden to determine how a sustainability education program and affect influence pro-environmental behaviour. Of particular interest is the arousal dimension of affect, the state of being physiologically alert and attentive. In the experiment, participants were randomly assigned to spend time in the garden (ground walk condition), spend time in the garden and receive sustainability education (ground walk + education condition), go on a tree-top canopy walk (arousal condition), go on a tree-top canopy walk and receive sustainability education (arousal + education condition), or a control condition where they did not go on any walk or receive education. In the education condition, participants received verbal and interactive education from instructors on the Sustainable Development Goals. I measured participants’ arousal level as well as positive and negative affect at the end of the experiment. In addition, I also measured pro-environmental behaviour, which included donations, signing up to receive newsletters from UBC Botanical Garden, signing up to receive volunteering opportunities from the Garden, and signing four petitions. I found that participants in the canopy walk conditions reported higher levels of arousal than the ground walk conditions, but they did not perform more pro-environmental behaviours. The results indicated no significant effect of either arousal or education on pro-environmental behaviour. The study contributes to the currently limited experimental evidence to understand affect, education, and pro-environmental behaviours, and highlights the complicated relationship between these factors. It calls for further research to better understand how we can leverage affective experiences and design education programs to foster pro-environmental behaviour.
Enterpreneurs’ Characteristics as a Determinant of MSE Growth in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

description: The study evaluated owner manager characteristics as a determinant of MSE growth. Utilizing a self administered questionnaire, data were collected from two sub-cities of Addis Ababa (Addis ketema an Arada sub-city) where large number of MSEs are located and 99 MSE owner/managers were proportionally selected. Analysis of variance was carried out and hypothesis tested to examine the variation in the growth of MSEs with respect to the variation in each of the independent variables. As two dependent variables were used to measure growth in this study, the result shows different statistical value for both of them. The ANOVA and t-test result indicates, there was a significant variation on the growth of MSEs in relation to the variations of gender, work experience and family back ground if growth is measured using asset growth. If growth is measured using employment growth, the difference in experience and family back ground brings difference in growth. But the study showed no significant difference between MSE growth with respect to the variation in the level of education of the owner/ managers whether growth is measured using asset and employment growth. The study found no evidence to support a common perception linking formal higher education with higher incidence of business success and growth.

description: Objective: To offer a quantitative risk–benefit analysis of two doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among adolescents in England. Setting: England. Design: Following the risk–benefit analysis methodology carried out by the US Centers for Disease Control, we calculated historical rates of hospital admission, Intensive Care Unit admission and death for ascertained SARS-CoV-2 cases in children aged 12–17 in England. We then used these rates alongside a range of estimates for incidence of long COVID, vaccine efficacy and vaccine-induced myocarditis, to estimate hospital and Intensive Care Unit admissions, deaths and cases of long COVID over a period of 16 weeks under assumptions of high and low case incidence. Participants: All 12–17 year olds with a record of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in England between 1 July 2020 and 31 March 2021 using national linked electronic health records, accessed through the British Heart Foundation Data Science Centre. Main outcome measures: Hospitalisations, Intensive Care Unit admissions, deaths and cases of long COVID averted by vaccinating all 12–17 year olds in England over a 16-week period under different estimates of future case incidence. Results: At high future case incidence of 1000/100,000 population/week over 16 weeks, vaccination could avert 4430 hospital admissions and 36 deaths over 16 weeks. At the low incidence of 50/100,000/week, vaccination could avert 70 hospital admissions and two deaths over 16 weeks. The benefit of vaccination in terms of hospitalisations in adolescents outweighs risks unless case rates are sustainably very low (below 30/100,000 teenagers/week). Benefit of vaccination exists at any case rate for the outcomes of death and long COVID, since neither have been associated with vaccination to date. Conclusions: Given the current (as at 15 September 2021) high case rates (680/100,000 population/week in 10–19 year olds) in England, our findings support vaccination of adolescents against SARS-CoV2.

description: A possibility of amplification of the 7.6 eV $γ$-radiation by the stimulated $γ$-emission of the ensemble of the $^{229m}$Th isomeric nuclei in a host dielectric crystal is proved theoretically. This amplification is a result of: 1) the excitation of a large number of the $^{229m}$Th isomers by laser radiation; 2) the creation of the inverse population of nuclear levels in a cooled sample owing to the interaction of thorium nuclei with the crystal electric field or with an external magnetic field; 3) the emissions/absorption of the optical photons by thorium nuclei in the crystal without recoil; 4) the nuclear spin relaxation through the conduction electrons of the metallic covering.

description: Objectives: To help people make decisions about the most effective mitigation measures against SARS-CoV-2 transmission in different scenarios, the likelihoods of transmission by different routes need to be quantified to some degree (however uncertain). These likelihoods need to be communicated in an appropriate way to illustrate the relative importance of different routes in different scenarios, the likely effectiveness of different mitigation measures along those routes, and the level of uncertainty in those estimates. In this study, a pragmatic expert elicitation was undertaken to supply the underlying quantitative values to produce such a communication tool. Participants: Twenty-seven individual experts from five countries and many scientific disciplines provided estimates. Outcome measures: Estimates of transmission parameters, assessments of the quality of the evidence, references to relevant literature, rationales for their estimates and sources of uncertainty. Results and conclusion: The participants’ responses showed that there is still considerable disagreement among experts about the relative importance of different transmission pathways and the effectiveness of different mitigation measures due to a lack of empirical evidence. Despite these disagreements, when pooled, the majority views on each parameter formed an internally consistent set of estimates (for example, that transmission was more likely indoors than outdoors, and at closer range), which formed the basis of a visualisation to help individuals and organisations understand the factors that influence transmission and the potential benefits of different mitigation measures.

description: Soil fertility decline is a major constraint to sustain higher agricultural production and productivity in tropical soils due to removal of crop residues from crop fields, low inherent soil fertility and the repeated suboptimal fertilization. A field experiment was conducted at Ambo University research farm, Ethiopia to investigate the effect of different levels of poultry manure (PM) and NP fertilizer rates on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of maize (Zea mays L.). The experiment consisted of eight treatments: control, 15 t ha-1 PM, 30 t ha -1 PM, 15 t ha-1 PM + 25% rec. NP, 15 t ha-1 PM + 50% rec. NP, 30 t ha-1 PM + 25% rec.NP, 30 t ha-1 PM + 50 % rec.NP and 100% recommended dose of NP fertilizer rates which were laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results showed significantly (P<0.001) higher values of plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, leaf area index, number of cobs per plant, cob girth, cob length, number of grains per cob, 1000-grain weight, dry biomass yield, harvest index and grain yield with the application of 30 t ha-1 PM plus 50% recommended NP fertilizer compared to both the absolute and standard controls. The highest maize grain yield (132.7q ha-1) was recorded for the treatment that received 30 t ha-1 PM combined with 50% recommended NP fertilizer. The lowest values of growth parameters, yield and yield components were recorded from the absolute control where no PM and chemical NP fertilizer were applied. Higher total N and P uptake was recorded with the application of 30 t ha-1 PM plus 50% recommended NP fertilizer. Correlation analysis indicated a positive relationship between grain yields and all growth and yield parameters. Moreover, the economic analysis showed higher net benefits from the application of 30 t ha-1 PM plus 50% rec. NP fertilizer rates. The integrated use of organic manure along with inorganic fertilizer improved the total nitrogen and phosphorus uptake.
