Nez Perce College and Career Readiness: Wíiwyeteq’is Growing into an Elder

The Nez Perce Mentoring Project (NPMP) addresses the need for a relationship-based and culturally sustaining/revitalizing approach to prepare Native American boys for college/careers and their overall role in the tribal community. The purpose of this study was to explore the preparation and mentoring supports that are perceived as helpful within the Nez Perce community and that may be further nurtured through the NPMP. Through focus groups utilizing Indigenous methods, participants conveyed the importance of wíiwyeteq’is, someone who is always growing. Wíiwyeteq’is is woven into four themes that guide the NPMP: piˀnit’ipec (reciprocal giving), híitemˀyekin’ (someone who is prepared for life), timmíyuninˀ (someone who is responsible), and qaˀnqaˀán (someone who is respectful). By bolstering cultural strengths, programs such as the NPMP may continue to help young men build meaningful careers and lives

Catching Element Formation In The Act

Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects and phenomena: stars, supernovae, novae, neutron stars, stellar-mass black holes, nucleosynthesis, the interstellar medium, cosmic rays and relativistic-particle acceleration, and the evolution of galaxies. MeV gamma-rays provide a unique probe of nuclear processes in astronomy, directly measuring radioactive decay, nuclear de-excitation, and positron annihilation. The substantial information carried by gamma-ray photons allows us to see deeper into these objects, the bulk of the power is often emitted at gamma-ray energies, and radioactivity provides a natural physical clock that adds unique information. New science will be driven by time-domain population studies at gamma-ray energies. This science is enabled by next-generation gamma-ray instruments with one to two orders of magnitude better sensitivity, larger sky coverage, and faster cadence than all previous gamma-ray instruments. This transformative capability permits: (a) the accurate identification of the gamma-ray emitting objects and correlations with observations taken at other wavelengths and with other messengers; (b) construction of new gamma-ray maps of the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies where extended regions are distinguished from point sources; and (c) considerable serendipitous science of scarce events -- nearby neutron star mergers, for example. Advances in technology push the performance of new gamma-ray instruments to address a wide set of astrophysical questions.Comment: 14 pages including 3 figure

Flexural testing of concrete filled fibre reinforced polymer tubes (CFFT) with and without internal fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement

FRP reinforcement has emerged as an attractive alternate of steel reinforcement due to its higher ultimate tensile strength and weight ratio, and corrosion resistant properties. This study presents the behaviour of Concrete Filled Fibre Reinforced Polymer Tubes (CFFT) with and without longitudinal FRP reinforcing bars under flexural loading. Four circular normal strength CFFT (two carbon FRP tubes and two glass FRP tubes) specimens and a steel reinforced concrete specimen (Reference) of 204 mm and 200 mm diameters respectively were cast and tested. One of the CFFT of each type of CFRP and GFRP CFFT was unreinforced while the other was reinforced. The reinforced CFRP and GFRP CFFT were reinforced with longitudinal 6Ø15 CFRP reinforcing bars and 6Ø15.875 GFRP reinforcing bars, respectively. All the CFFT were tested under increasing flexural load until the fibres at the bottom of the CFFT were ruptured. Significant increases in the ultimate flexural load and ultimate midspan deflections were observed for reinforced CFFT than unreinforced CFFT. GFRP and CFRP reinforced CFFT demonstrated identical flexural behaviour while GFRP CFFT attained even higher ultimate flexural load than the Reference specimen, although both CFFT have similar ultimate midspan deflections
