Science with a Small Two-Band UV-Photometry Mission III: Active Galactic Nuclei and Nuclear Transients by Zajaček, M., Czerny, B., Jaiswal, V. K., Štolc, M., Karas, V., Pandey, A., Pasham, D. R., Śniegowska, M., Witzany, V., Suková, P., Münz, F., Werner, N., Řípa, J., Merc, J., Labaj, M., Kurfürst, P., Krtička, J.

“…For tidal disruption events (TDEs), high-cadence UV monitoring is crucial for distinguishing among different scenarios for the origin of the UV emission. The small two-band UV space telescope will also provide information about the near- and far-UV continuum variability for rare transients, such as repetitive partial TDEs and jetted TDEs. …”

Boosting hydrogen evolution reaction via electronic coupling of cerium phosphate with molybdenum phosphide nanobelts by Zhang, Luyao, Hu, Minghao, Li, Huan, Cao, Bo, Jing, Peng, Liu, Baocang, Gao, Rui, Zhang, Jun, Liu, Bin

“…In this work, it is found that by anchoring a rare earth compound, cerium phosphate (CePO4 ) on MoP (CePO4 /MoP), the stabilized Ce3+ in CePO4 can significantly boost the formation of oxygen vacancies in ceria (CeO2 ) in situ formed on CePO4 surface during HER, which effectively regulates the d-band electronic density-of-states of MoP, increases the numbers of active sites, and promotes the vectorial electron transfer, therefore greatly enhancing the HER performance of MoP. …”

8 Ways to Boost Students Engagement During Asynchronous English Language Learning by Nurkarimah, Yusof

“…For some students, asynchronous learning is the ultimate game-changer, as it offers flexibilities and new learning opportunities such as self-paced learning. On the other hand, some students may face challenges, particularly in maintaining their motivation and self-discipline to learn, for example in language courses such as English, without direct face-to-face interactions during this learning mode.…”
