Stimulated sulfate‐reduction is a bioremediation technique utilized for the sequestration of heavy metals in subsurface. We performed laboratory column experiments to investigate geoelectrical response iron sulfide transformations by Desulfovibrio vulgaris . Two methods, (1) spectral induced polarization (SIP), and (2) electrodic potential measurements, were investigated. Aqueous geochemistry (sulfate, lactate, sulfide, acetate), observations precipitates (identified from electron microscopy...
In recent years, flipped classrooms have become increasingly popular in higher education environments. tandem, there is an increasing interest engagement analytics and educational data mining to identify how students directly engage with content resources. The Flipped Learning Network (FLN) defines learning as a pedagogical approach which direct instruction moves from the group space individual space. resulting transformed into dynamic, interactive environment where instructors guide they...
The development of students’ entrepreneurial confidence, aptitude and self−efficacy, irrespective their discipline, is strongly advocated by researchers, policy makers the media as an important societal institution, indispensable for economic growth development, social cohesion, job creation indeed changing world work. This study reinforces view that entrepreneurship education (EE) a core, vital research space warrants continued consistent investigation given its significant role in...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report the experiences redress seeking and organisational responses for targets bullying. Design/methodology/approach A phenomenological research design was adopted. In total, 22 primary teachers (seven males, 15 females) in Ireland were self-selected interview, following an advertisement detailing study a national teacher union magazine. Data analysed utilising interpretative analysis framework. Findings All those interviewed had made official...
This study explores the viewing patterns of 17 instructional videos in both a traditional and flipped classroom environment by 732 business students taking an IT-related module. While previous work has concentrated mainly on outputs(e.g. student satisfaction/results), this focuses how nature students’ interactions with can be determined through deep analysis analytics data. The main findings show that there were less compared to environment, used more as revision aid prior exams (in...
Today, entrepreneurship is seen as a major driver for innovation, economic growth and job creation, with entrepreneurial competencies highly sought after by practitioners policy-makers alike. Competencies considered include knowledge about how entrepreneurs create value; skills in marketing, resource acquisition opportunity identification; attitudes such passion, self-efficacy, proactiveness tenacity. There widespread consensus the literature that can be developed through learning. This...
Abstract The software comprehension process has been conceptualized as being either ‘top‐down’ or ‘bottom‐up’ in nature. We formally distinguish between two processes that have previously grouped together ‘top‐down’. first is ‘expectation‐based’ comprehension, where the programmer pre‐generated expectations of code's meaning. second ‘inference‐based’ derives meaning from clichéd implementations code. identify distinguishing features variants, and use these characteristics basis for an...
This paper formally distinguishes between two variants of top-down comprehension (as originally described by Brooks (1983) and Soloway (1984)). The first is inference-based comprehension, where the programmer derives meaning from cliched implementations in code. second expectation-based has pre-generated expectations code's meaning. describes distinguishing features variants, uses these characteristics as basis for an empirical study. study establishes their existence, identifies...
Rapid construction projects and processes will become increasingly important as customers demand better project management performance globally, countries plan for respond to the aftermath of natural and/or unnatural disasters. For use in expedited (as well traditional projects), a rapid universal safety health system (RUSH) was designed, developed, deployed, evaluated. its inaugural application, RUSH applied 106-hour project. Results from an initial application included safe build...
There is growing interest in the development of new monitoring strategies for obtaining spatially extensive data diagnostic microbial processes occurring earth. Open-circuit potentials arising from variable redox conditions fluid local-to-electrode surfaces (electrodic potentials) were recorded a pair silver-silver chloride electrodes column experiment, whereby natural wetland soil containing known community sulfate reducers was continuously fed with sulfate-rich nutrient medium....
We recorded bulk electrical conductivity ( σ b ) along a soil column during microbially‐mediated selenite oxyanion reduction. Effluent fluid and early time were modeled according to classic advective‐dispersive transport of the nutrient medium. However, exhibited strongly bimodal breakthrough which cannot be explained by changes in pore fluid. model anomalous adding conduction path parallel with phase, dependence described microbial population‐dynamics model. incorporate delay show that...
It is the view of many computer scientists that standard empirical software engineering research leaves scope for improvement. However, there also an increasing awareness in community studies are a vital aspect process improving methods and tools, development maintenance. This paper presents review work carried out to date area program comprehension illustrates most evidence from these derives lab-based experiments, thus implying degree artificial control. The argues that, order address...
Information seeking has been recognised as a core subtask in software maintenance. This paper reviews, merges, and adapts existing information models for different domains to propose nonlinear information-seeking model programmers involved Talk-aloud data from two empirical studies of industrial carrying out real maintenance tasks is presented, illustrate validate (in part) this model.
This paper examines how sustainability education can be effectively integrated into game-based learning (GBL) to enhance environmental consciousness. As global ecological challenges intensify, instilling sustainable practices in future generations becomes crucial. GBL offers an engaging platform embed concepts through immersive and interactive virtual environments. The study explores the theoretical underpinnings of GBL, highlighting their synergy raising awareness fostering behaviours. By...
Abstract Aim Soil microorganisms are essential for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Although soil microbial communities and functions may be linked to tree species composition diversity forests, there has been no comprehensive study how general potential relationships if these context-dependent. A global network experiments (TreeDivNet) allows a first examination diversity-soil function across environmental gradients. Location Global Major Taxa Studied Methods samples collected...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain the Securities and Exchange Commission's recently proposed amendments Rule 10b‐18 under Act 1934 that are intended modernize reflect changes in market since Rule's adoption. Design/methodology/approach provides an overview 10b‐18, which issuer buying its own stock a safe harbor from liability for manipulation if satisfies purchase, timing, price volume conditions defined 10b‐18. It outlines timing condition, limitation on disqualification, time...
The Flow Decomposition problem, which asks for the smallest set of weighted paths that "covers" a flow on DAG, has recently been used as an important computational step in transcript assembly. We prove problem is FPT when parameterized by number giving practical linear fpt algorithm. Further, we implement and engineer solver based this algorithm, evaluate its performance RNA-sequence data. Crucially, our finds exact solutions while achieving runtimes competitive with state-of-the-art...
