Abstract Large parabolic antennas used in radio astronomy are mechanically vulnerable to high wind loads, which can compromise both structural integrity and pointing calibration. We present the design, implementation, and validation of an automated safety control system for the 4.5 m Jocelyn Bell Burnell radio telescope at the Public University of ...

Abstract We present the results of the first geological mapping of the western half of the Eminescu Quadrangle (H09) on Mercury. Multiple data sets from the NASA MESSENGER Mercury Dual Imaging System instrument were used to produce a geological map covering the area between 72°E and 108°E longitude and 22.5°N and 22.5°S latitude.

Abstract This study presents a systematic, reproductive and comparative review of research on students' interest, motivation and attitude (I/M/A) towards science and technology (S&T) at K‐12 levels, covering the period 2013–2024. As a follow‐up to a previous systematic review (2000–2012), it describes and synthesizes findings from 170 peer‐reviewed ...

Animals that live in a wide range of environments possess plastic traits such as colour change, but most research has only looked at this within single populations. In this study, we tested four populations of the Arabian killifish from marine and freshwater ecosystems, examining how well they change colour against different backgrounds.

ABSTRACT Colour polytypism represents an example of phenotypic diversification shaped by genetic divergence and ecological pressures. Poison frogs of the genus Oophaga (Dendrobatidae) are highly polytypic in coloration, making them an ideal system for investigating the genetic and physiological basis of colour variation.

Math on a sphere: Making use of public displays in mathematics and programming education
Science on a Sphere (SoS) is a compelling educational display installed at numerous museums and planetariums around the world; essentially the SoS display is a large spherical surface on which multicolor high-resolution depictions of (e.g.) planetary ...

Heavy metal pollution is known to negatively affect numerous traits in birds, including foraging, metabolism, immunity, and reproductive success. In this study, our primary aim was to assess the impact of metal pollution exposure on the visual appearance of the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuca eggs.

Designing a framework for teachers' integration of computational thinking into elementary science
Abstract As professional science becomes increasingly computational, researchers and educators are advocating for the integration of computational thinking (CT) into science education. Researchers and policymakers have argued that CT learning opportunities should begin in elementary school and span across the K‐12 grades.
