Shaping Attitudes Toward Science in an Introductory Astronomy Class
, 2009 At many universities, astronomy is a popular way for non-science majors to fulfill a general education requirement. Because general-education astronomy may be the only college-level science course taken by these students, it is the last chance to shape ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study explores a crystal‐symmetry‐based approach to optimize mechanical properties in laser powder bed fused AISI 316L with predominant {110}<100> Goss textures. By varying the build orientation, the microstructure can be tailored and the tensile properties optimized. The tilted build (T110) achieved the highest strength while preserving ductility,

Digital Astronomy in Education
International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE), 2007 What causes seasons? Why day and night durations are so different with seasons? Why the position of the full moon seems directed to the south in summer while it seems directed to the north in winter? It is the purpose of this computer simulation to provide an interactive application, programmed in Java language to explore the issues related to the ...

THE ROLE OF ASTRONOMY IN ROMANIAN EDUCATION [PDF]
Romanian Review of Geographical Education, 2018 Despite the interest, curiosity and the enthusiasm of the large public for Astronomy as a scientific discipline, it is absent from the current Romanian curriculum. We present here the results of two surveys that involve parents and teachers and show the necessity, the relevance and the usefulness of including astronomy as a discipline in the curriculum,

High‐Entropy Magnetism of Murunskite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The study of murunskite (K2FeCu3S4) reveals that its magnetic and orbital order emerges in a simple I4/mmm crystal structure with complete disorder in the transition metal positions. Mixed‐valence Fe ions randomly occupy 1/4 of the tetrahedral sites, with the remaining 3/4 being filled by non‐magnetic Cu+ ions.
