A point model for the free cyclic submodules over ternions

We show that the set of all (unimodular and non-unimodular) free cyclic submodules of T^2, where T is the ring of ternions over a commutative field, admits a point model in terms of a smooth algebraic variety

Double Gene Knockout of PDX-1 and HNF1β Leads to Possible Novel Gene Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease characterized by uncontrolled and elevated blood glucose which is the effect of inadequate levels of plasma insulin. Type I diabetes (T1D) ultimately stems from the autoimmune destruction of beta cells because of defects in the PDX-1 and possibly HNF1B. If both of these genes knocked out together increase the detriment effect of T1D, then a gene therapy can be created using the AAV vectors that not only targets one gene but both at the same time, increasing the strength of the gene therapy and the quality of life for the T1D patient

Civic Councils for Education. Critical discourse analysis

The aim of this article is to describe the genesis and activities of the Civic Council for Education project and to present it as an activity leading to the development and possible changes in the socialisation of Polish educational policy. The undertaken analysis concerns the reconstruction of knowledge of the society about the professional situation of teachers and their attitude towards current educational reality. The considerations were presented using critical discourse analysis.The aim of this article is to describe the genesis and activities of the Civic Council for Education project and to present it as an activity leading to the development and possible changes in the socialisation of Polish educational policy.

Spatial distribution of Gaussian fluctuations of the molecular field and magnetization in the pyramid-like Ising nanoscopic system interacting with the substrate

We study thermodynamic properties of an Ising model of a ferromagnetic nanoscopic pyramid deposited onto a ferromagnetic bulk substrate. The influence of the interaction between the pyramid and the substrate is calculated in terms of the equilibrium reduced-state (density) operator used for description of thermodynamic properties of nanoscopic systems. The spatial distribution of the fluctuations of molecular field and magnetization in the nanoscopic pyramid is obtained in the Gaussian fluctuations approximation. Experimental consequences for the magnetic force measurements are briefly discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure

An axiom system for full 33-dimensional Euclidean geometry

summary:We present an axiom system for class of full Euclidean spaces (i.e. of projective closures of Euclidean spaces) and prove the representation theorem for our system, using connections between Euclidean spaces and elliptic planes

Flexible, Physical Learning Environment Design Elements: How Do They Impact K-12 Stakeholders?

The purpose of this qualitative study, using a phenomenological design, was to examine the perspectives of seven K-12 stakeholders and to examine their understanding and experience with flexible learning environmental designs and how the stakeholders helped to support students’ sense of place. Data were collected using semi-structured one-on-one interviews. Three key findings emerged from this study. First, fluidity and connectedness allow teachers and students to transition from big more easily to medium to small spaces within a flexible instructional model. Second, flexible learning space does a better job inclusively engaging multiple student learning preferences, and third, teachers need to become champions for a change to flexible, physical learning environments. This study provided the following recommendations for research, K-12 school district and building leaders, teachers, boards of education, and state policy makers: First, K-12 school district and building leaders must provide a district-wide mission of fluidity and connectedness for inclusivity that is grounded in a sense of place to address multiple student learning preferences. Next, by using student-centered learning approaches in flexible, physical learning environments that do a better a job of reaching more students, teachers can be change agents for greater inclusivity. Lastly, boards of education need to act on administrator recommendations for physical space that promotes equitable opportunities for greater engagement, and state policy makers must welcome design solutions from architects that safely break down barriers, preventing collaboration by increasing a variety of space adjacency, fluidity, and connectedness
