Gamification is defined as the use of game design elements in a non-game context. In higher education, gamification methodology intending to motivate students acquire academical knowledge and soft skills, while keeping them engaged pleased with learning process. This study reports application gamified class concerning electric resistors, first 12-topic discipline offered 2nd-year physics engineering. Adopting Flipped Classroom narrative based on household power consumption, traditional...

The most common way to perform succussions is place a liquid preparation inside glass vessel and beat it vigorously against hard elastic surface, either manually or using mechanical apparatus. This procedure has been assumed able transfer energy the molecular level, where becomes available chemical work. Such interpretation enforced by observed changes in electrical conductivity (EC) of High Dilutions (HD) due succussion. In order address this question, we compared HD prepared from...

We have compared the recently introduced generalized simulated annealing (GSA) with conventional (CSA). GSA was tested as a tool to obtain ground-state geometry of molecules. used selected silicon clusters $({\mathrm{Si}}_{n},$ $n=4--7,10)$ test cases. Total energies were calculated through tight-binding molecular dynamics. found that replacement Boltzmann statistics (CSA) by Tsallis's has potential speed up optimizations no loss accuracy. Next, we applied method study 20-atom cluster. an...

Background: although Hahnemann described the fifty-milesimal (LM) method in 6th edition of Organon Medical Art, very little research has been carried out on physical chemical properties these homeopathic preparations. Furthermore, there is still no evidence allowing for correlation between alleged and biological effects high dilutions. Aims: to evaluate characteristics LM preparations including electrical conductivity, pH refraction index, their effect experimental models. Materials methods:...

Some pertinent questions in the practice of science is to know what one researching, with whom and where. These are even more crucial for those involved High Dilution studies, an emergent multidisciplinary scientific field, where concepts, methods models still be validated. In this research such can addressed through networks because communication between peers accelerates process conceiving refining methodologies standards that give consistency knowledge. A thematic network effective...

Whenever we achieve the satisfaction of our expectations and anxiety dissolves, feel as if were in a comfort zone – safe, complete, free from risks peace with ourselves. We might even have little taste heaven when that fulfilled duty. And fact, scientists are entitled to this kind reward… but not for too long! In science, enter can be pleasant dangerous. On one hand may safe ground available develop new modes reasoning, protocols theories. on other, stay stuck...

This article introduces an efficient method to generate structural models for medium-sized silicon clusters. Geometrical information obtained from previous investigations of small clusters is initially sorted and then introduced into our predictor algorithm in order large The predicts geometries whose binding energies are close (95%) the corresponding value ground-state with very low computational cost. These predictions can be used as a good initial guess any global optimization algorithm....

Peer-review journals and indexation agencies have an important role in the society as they certify scientific common sense. However, represent edge-of-the-iceberg of all produced knowledge. Within “underwater production” there are many ideas, incomplete theoretical proposals suggestions for new experimental models, some them interesting, others more limited a further group untenable. In left aside hidden from most people, including scientists. This article...
