DESENVOLVIMENTO INICIAL DO MILHO PIPOCA CULTIVADO SOB DIFERENTES RELAÇÕES NH4 +:NO3-

The culture of the popcorn comes as a promising culture for region of the Brazilian northeast, however they are still scarce studies to make possible the expansion of this culture, especially as the fertilization. This experiment was accomp...

Non-equilibrium finite temperature dynamics of magnetic quantum systems: applications to spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy

We calculated the real-time non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum spin systems at finite temperatures. The mathematical framework originates from the C *-approach to quantum statistical mechanics and was applied to the samples investigated by...

Effect of Different Downward Loads and Rotational Speeds on the Removal of Gutta-Percha and Root Canal Sealer Using a Nickel-Titanium Rotary Gutta-Percha Removal System: An Ex Vivo Study

Effective gutta-percha/sealer removal is essential for predictable nonsurgical endodontic retreatment, but the effects of key operational parameters on nickel–titanium rotary removal instruments remain insufficiently understood. This study ...

Ott-Antonsen ansatz truncation of a circular cumulant series

The cumulant representation is common in classical statistical physics for variables on the real line and the issue of closures of cumulant expansions is well elaborated. The case of phase variables significantly differs from the case of li...

Topologically protected loop flows in high voltage AC power grids

Geographical features such as mountain ranges or big lakes and inland seas often result in large closed loops in high voltage AC power grids. Sizable circulating power flows have been recorded around such loops, which take up transmission l...

Time-domain image processing using photonic reservoir computing

Photonic computing has attracted much attention due to its great potential to accelerate artificial neural network operations. However, the processing of a large amount of data, such as image data, basically requires large-scale photonic ci...

Floristic diversity and structural parameters on the forest tree population in the Luki biosphere reserve, Democratic Republic of Congo

Tropical rainforests play an important role in the global Eco-climatic balance and its sustainable management is a major concern that has attracted the attention of researchers. The Luki biosphere reserve, while under a status of protected ...

El trabajador universitario: entre el malestar y la lucha Professors: between discomfort and fight

Las modificaciones en el mundo del trabajo producidas por la crisis de acumulación capitalista han transformado así mismo las condiciones de desarrollo de la labor docente. En un mundo cada vez más complejo y competitivo, la institución uni...

Assessing the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Vaccination Practices Towards COVID-19 Vaccination Among Mainland Chinese Nursing Students and Interns: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study

Effectiveness of guided group work in graduate level quantum mechanics

We investigate the effects of guided group work sessions on graduate student performance on a quantum mechanics assessment. Data from a single large Midwestern university were taken over a five-year period, during which guided group work se...

Self-Concept and Self-Esteem: Relevant Variables in the Life Satisfaction of Teachers

Over the last two decades, the number of people who practice activities in the natural environment has increased and the demand for teachers for these activities has grown. It is necessary to analyze the impact of different psychosocial and...

METHOD OF CONVERSATION IN PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS BY PROJECTIVE METHODS IN WORKING WITH STUDENTS OF NAUTICAL SPECIALTIES

From Mental Health Crisis to Existential Human Suffering: The Role of Self-Transcendence in Contemporary Mindfulness

Our paper addresses the so-called college mental health crisis and the adoption of the strategy of mindfulness-based interventions. We offer a critique of their underlying medical–therapeutic paradigm by engaging the notion of self-transcen...

Buddhism, Copying, and the Art of the Imagination in Thailand

This article theorizes new urban religio-scapes in metropolitan Bangkok, a city space of contradictory modernities. Here, I look at two contrasting Buddhist monastic spaces of sanctity from periods of fieldwork between 1998 and 2002. Firstl...

Mystical Experience: Its Nature Features

No doubt mysticism is the essence of religious experience and this experience for both those who have religious beliefs and those who have not such beliefs typically causes changes in life. Regardless of the difficulty of describing the mys...

Does Practice Make Perfect? The Effects of an Eight-Week Manualized Deliberate Practice Course With Peer Feedback on Patient-Rated Working Alliance in Adults: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

[Background] Deliberate Practice (DP), which underscores the importance of expert mentorship, personalized learning objectives, feedback, and repetition, has been suggested as a method to enhance the effectiveness of therapists. [Method] Th...

Children’s memory “in the wild”: examining the temporal organization of free recall from a week-long camp at a local zoo

Abstract Free-recall paradigms have greatly influenced our understanding of memory. The majority of this research involves laboratory-based events (e.g., word lists) that are studied and tested within minutes. This literature shows that adu...

Prodigiosin as an Algicidal Agent: Inhibition of Pigment Accumulation and Photosynthetic Efficiency of Cyanobacteria Involved in Algal Blooms

Eutrophication facilitates the proliferation of cyanobacteria, ultimately leading to the formation of harmful cyanobacterial blooms. Prodigiosin, known for its algicidal properties, presents significant potential for application in water po...

RCS reduction of wide-band, high-gain antenna array based on asymmetric transmission metasurfaces

Abstract In this paper, an ultra-wideband stealth antenna with high gain on the basis of asymmetric transmission metasurface (ATMS) is proposed. ATMS can convert an incident y-polarised sphere wave into an x-polarised plane wave at the fron...

Characterization of low-nitrogen quantum diamond for pulsed magnetometry applications

Ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are versatile quantum sensors with broad applications in the physical and life sciences. The concentration of neutral substitutional nitrogen ([Ns0]) strongly influences NV electronic sp...
