Infusing epistemic perspectives on scientific practices in science teacher education by Erduran, S, Saribas, D, Kaya, E

“…The depiction of scientific practices relies on a theoretical model called the Benzene Ring Heuristic (BRH) which consolidates the epistemic, cognitive and social aspects of scientific practices into a holistic and visual representation. …”

Mean square consensus of multi-agent systems over fading networks with directed graphs by Xu, Liang, Zheng, Jianying, Xiao, Niao, Xie, Lihua

“…It is then shown that the mean square consensusability is solely determined by the edge state dynamics on a directed spanning tree. As a result, sufficient conditions are provided for mean square consensus over fading networks with directed graphs in terms of fading parameters, the network topology and the agent dynamics. …”

Data-driven methods to predict the stability metrics of catalytic nanoparticles by Prabhu, Asmee M., Choksi, Tej S.

“…Ab initio methods can calculate these metrics but are computationally intensive due to the large configurational space that these nanostructures span. Moreover, sub-nanometer nanoparticles are structurally flexibile under reaction conditions. …”

NeuroTribes : The legacy of autism and how to think smarter about people who think differently / by Silberman, Steve, author 656044, Allen & Unwin (Online service) 656043

“…The perpetrators in Silberman’s telling are scientists, political leaders, and clinicians whose fixation on their interpretation of “normal” led to acts of deep cruelty and inhumanity against autistic people, deeds that span the spectrum from superficial to sadistic. The narrative arc is roughly chronological, stretching across time and highlighting some of the Big Non-autistic Names in autism’s long, strange and often terrible trip: Hans Asperger, Leo Kanner, Bruno Bettelheim, Bernard Rimland, Ole Ivar Lovaas, Lorna Wing. …”

Towards a Prime Factorization of Proteins by Radev, Simeon

“…This is particularly the case in the richly complex field of protein analysis, whereby unique and novel insights into the structural organization of proteins can help illuminate their functional space, and in particular lead toward a factorization of the structural space into a set of motif building blocks, which completely span this universe. This thesis creates a new inference interface for performing such analysis, by leveraging the sequential learning process of a neural autoencoder to construct a decomposition of proteins as a hierarchical sequence of embedded representation vectors. …”

Emotikon : audio production of the interpretation of human emotion through soundscape and music by De Cotta, Timothy Alexander, Long, Lyndsey Liting

“…We wanted to appeal to the various feelings of the listener in five songs that spanned a range of musical genres, and more ambitiously, try to manipulate how the listener was feeling in a short period of time.…”

Survival of mammoths (Mammuthus sp.) into the Late Pleistocene in Southwestern British Columbia (Vancouver Island), Canada by Termes, L, Keddie, G, Hebda, R, Trask, P, Arbour, V, Speller, C, Paskulin, L, Ramsey, C, Richards, MR

“…We undertook radiocarbon dating on all specimens and were able to obtain dates (due to preservation) on 16 of these remains, including re-dating a previously dated mammoth using newer radiocarbon extraction methods. The mammoth dates span a wide range, from >47,500 to 18,000 radiocarbon years BP (uncalibrated). …”

The Viking Great Army north of the Tyne: A Viking camp in Northumberland? by Kershaw, J, Jarman, C, Weber, H, Horton, M

“…We argue that the site was strategically situated and long-lived, with evidence for occupation spanning the Roman to later medieval periods. We note, in particular, indications of high-status early medieval activity, which stand out in a Northumbrian context. …”

On the higher-order edge toughness of a graph by Chen, C.C., Koh, K.M., Peng, Y.H.

“…Besides giving the of the cth-order edge toughness τc(G) of a graph G, we prove that 'τc(G)≥k if and only if G has k edge-disjoint spanning forests with exactly c components'. We also study the 'balancity' of a graph G of order p and size q, which is defined as the smallest positive integer c such that τc(G) = p/(p-c). © 1993.…”

Chiral Modes at Exceptional Points in Exciton-Polariton Quantum Fluids by Gao, T., Li, G., Estrecho, E., Liew, Timothy Chi Hin, Comber-Todd, D., Nalitov, A., Steger, M., West, K., Pfeiffer, L., Snoke, D. W., Kavokin, A. V., Truscott, A. G., Ostrovskaya, E. A.

“…In particular, a vortex is generated by driving two dipole modes of the non-Hermitian ring resonator into degeneracy. Transition through the exceptional point in the space of the system’s parameters is enabled by precise manipulation of real and imaginary parts of the closed-wall potential forming the resonator. …”
