Does not compute: social dissonance in England's computing education policy by Larke, L

“…</p> <p>Using teacher interviews, student writing and drawings, student interviews, extensive classroom observations, and policy analysis, this ethnographic case study of four primary school classrooms in the South of England will examine how the addition of computing to England’s National Curriculum came to pass and why it is not meeting its stated goals, before discussing what this means about past assumptions and future possibilities for young people’s engagement with and understanding of modern digital technologies in formal education settings. …”

Investigation of the reliability of nano-nickel/niobium oxide-based multilayer thin films deposited on polymer substrates for flexible electronic applications by Sahay, Rahul, Tu, Yen-Cheng, Aziz, Izzat, Budiman, Arief S., Tan, Cher Ming, Lee, Pooi See, Thomas, Olivier, Raghavan, Nagarajan

“…However, the reliability of such devices, both mechanical and electrical, is a bottleneck for their widespread application across different use-case scenarios. Here, we report the reliability of nickel-niobium oxide (crystalline-amorphous) sandwich nanolayers on a PI substrate (Ni-Nb2O5-PI) compared to pure nickel (Ni) nanolayers on a PI substrate (Ni-PI) as a potential candidate for electrodes or interconnects for flexible electronic or energy devices. …”

Doodles and Blobs on a Ruled Page: Convex Quasi-envelops of Traversing Flows on Surfaces by Katz, Gabriel

“…We compute the bordisms of regular embeddings and construct many invariants that distinguish between the bordisms of immersions and embeddings. In the case of oriented doodles on $$A= {\mathbb {R}} \times I$$ A = R × I , our computations of 2-moderate immersion bordisms $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) are near complete: we show that they can be described by an exact sequence of abelian groups $$\begin{aligned} 0 \rightarrow {\textbf{K}} \rightarrow \textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)\big /\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) {\mathop {\longrightarrow }\limits ^{{\mathcal {I}} \rho }} {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}} \rightarrow 0, \end{aligned}$$ 0 → K → OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) / OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ⟶ I ρ Z × Z → 0 , where $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) \approx {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}}$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ≈ Z × Z , the epimorphism $${\mathcal {I}} \rho $$ I ρ counts different types of crossings of immersed doodles, and the kernel $${\textbf{K}}$$ K contains the group $$({\mathbb {Z}})^\infty $$ ( Z ) ∞ whose generators are described explicitly.…”

Near-zero environmental impact aircraft by Prashanth, Prakash, Elmourad, Jad, Grobler, Carla, Isaacs, Stewart, Zahid, Syed Shayan, Abel, James, Falter, Christoph, Fritz, Thibaud, Allroggen, Florian, Sabnis, Jayant S., Eastham, Sebastian D., Speth, Raymond L., Barrett, Steven R. H.

“…The proposed aircraft-energy systems reduce combined climate and air quality impacts by 99%, with fuel costs increasing by 40% for hydrogen and 70% for power-to-liquid fueled aircraft relative to today's fleet (i.e., within the range of historical jet fuel price variation). Beyond the specific case presented here, this work presents a framework for holistic analysis of future aviation systems that considers both climate and air quality impacts.…”
