A heat pipe device has been developed which permits completely passive ice formation and periodic release of ice without requiring the ambient temperature to rise above the melting point of water. This passive design enables the maximum amount of cooling capacity to be stored in the tank.

A novel design of multifunctional metasurface (MFMS) with independent tunability for two polarization components is presented where two functions, full transmission and full reflection, can be independently switched, for each polarization of incident wave. Specifically, the unit-cell of the proposed MFMS is printed on a low-profile substrate that is made of two sets of tunable structures corresponding to two polarization components. A double-layered feeding network is placed at the bottom of the substrate to control the bias voltage of positive–intrinsic–negative (p-i-n) diodes and alternating...

Abstract In English language teaching settings, the type of lecture is important since students should be exposed to instantly recognisable linguistic features in the target language through interaction. This quasi-experimental study was designed to compare the effectiveness of PowerPoint presentations (PPP) and conventional lecture/discussion sessions on the pedagogical content knowledge of the student-teachers of English. PPP were used in the experimental group and conventional lecture/discussion sessions were employed in the control group (CG). The findings revealed that the treatment proce...

The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) has provided a statement as a contribution to the Federal Governments review of the Australian Curriculum. In this edition, Curriculum and Leadership Journal publishes a cover letter to the statement, provided by Professor Barry McGaw AO, Chair ACARA Board. 'The school curriculum expresses a nations aspirations for its next generations. The curriculum must strike a balance between developing young peoples understanding of their national history and culture and preparing them for a future that is increasingly global and large...

A multi-centre epidemiological study of mental health and disturbance in chillhood was carried out in Finland, in cooperation with all five child psychiatric university units in the country, to estimate the frequencies and to describe the spectrum of psychiatric disturbances in the Finnish child population.

Production data of aquaculture production in the Black Sea Region was examined and the production volumes of the provinces were evaluated and a total of 17425 tons of rainbow trout, 2806 tons of sea bass and 5 tons of sturgeon were obtained from the production in this region.

New research shows that a previously identified haplotype of the EPAS1 gene, which allows Tibetans to live at high altitude, was inherited from archaic hominin ancestors.

In the recent times metal complexes with dual mechanisms of action, anti-cancer and anti-angiogenic, have gained substantial interest in the field of medicinal chemistry.

■ ■ ■ ■ 2 — Reflect ■ ■ ■ ■ Au XIXe siècle, la pieuvre est devenue un symbole omniprésent des profondeurs inconnues et insondables de la mer. La peur de cet inconnu se manifeste par sa transformation en une créature monstrueuse dans les œuvres de Victor Hugo, Jules Verne et autres romanciers. Cet article soutient que, parallèlement à ce récit, une interprétation différente de la pieuvre, inaperçue jusqu’à présent, émerge. Dans le cas des intérieurs et objets Art nouveau, le céphalopode incarne constamment le sens du toucher, longtemps négligé dans la théorie de l’art. La physiologie et la biol...
