"The Psychological Resilience of Spousal Caregivers of Multiple Scleros" by Marisa Diane Diaz Abstract The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine an under-researched topic: the relationship between psychological resilience and personal growth with spousal caregivers of patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Chronic illnesses contribute to potentially stressful changes (i.e., lifestyle, quality of life, financial wellbeing, and interpersonal relationships) for the caregiver.

The 5th Conference - Duval Union Academy The 5th Conference In 1912 the Belgian industrialist Ernest Solvay founded “The Solvay Conference”. Located in Brussels, the conferences were devoted to outstanding preeminent open problems in both physics and chemistry. It was considered a turning point in the world of physics. The most famous conference was the October 1927 “Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons”. The world’s most notable physicists met to discuss the newly formulated quantum theory. THE 5TH CONFERENCE by Duval Union Academy is a new Belgian based large-scale industry event that creates a much-needed dialogue focused on evolutive and disruptive innovation across the ecosystem. It provides a forum to discuss the latest advancements in a specific industry that have the potential to improve outcomes, decrease costs, and reimagine this industry.

Gömböc Convex shape with one stable and one unstable position The gömböc (Hungarian: [ˈɡømbøt͡s] GUHM-buhts) is the first known physical example of a class of convex three-dimensional homogeneous bodies, called mono-monostatic, which, when resting on a flat surface have just one stable and one unstable point of equilibrium. The existence of this class was conjectured by the Russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold in 1995 and proven in 2006 by the Hungarian scientists Gábor Domokos and Péter Várkonyi by constructing at first a mathematical example and subsequently a physical example. Mono-monostatic shapes exist in countless varieties, most of which are close to a sphere, with a stringent shape tolerance (about one part in a thousand). The gömböc is the first mono-monostatic shape which has been constructed physically. Name[edit] If analyzed quantitatively in terms of flatness and thickness, the discovered mono-monostatic bodies are the most sphere-like, apart from the sphere itself. History[edit]

The birth of electromagnetism (1820) | Skulls in the Stars It is oddly fitting that the birth of electromagnetism, and an entirely new direction in physics, started with the tiniest twitch of a compass needle. In the year 1820, Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) observed the twitch of said compass needle in the presence of an electric current, providing the first definite evidence of a link between electricity and magnetism that would set the tone for much of modern physics. The story of Oersted’s experiment is the stuff of physics legend, but like most legends it is often misremembered and exaggerated. The early 1800s were an exciting time to be studying electricity. Evidence was piling up that many seemingly disparate phenomena in nature were connected. A number of isolated observations also suggested a connection between electricity and magnetism. Oersted’s philosophical training would play a crucial role in his discovery of electromagnetism. “Naturphilosophie” would be considered a very alien concept to modern scientists.
ED530059 - Charter School Autonomy: A Half-Broken Promise, Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2010-May For nearly two decades, charter founders have opened schools across the land on the basis of a distinctive education bargain: operational autonomy--freedom from restrictions typically placed on public schools--in exchange for strong results-based accountability. During that time, many have studied the "results" and "accountability" side of this arrangement, yet to everyone's knowledge there has never before been a systematic national appraisal of the autonomy side. Despite the importance of autonomy to the charter concept--and notwithstanding innumerable anecdotes about various infringements on these freedoms--amazingly little is known about how free (or hamstrung) charter schools really are. Yet such information is fundamental to examining the state of the charter school movement in America and to appraising its value and its potential to advance American education. This study begins to fill that vexing information gap via a national review of charter school autonomy. Thomas B.
Thin-skinned solar panels printed with inkjet | KAUST Discovery Solar cells can now be made so thin, light and flexible that they can rest on a soap bubble. The new cells, which efficiently capture energy from light, could offer an alternative way to power novel electronic devices, such as medical skin patches, where conventional energy sources are unsuitable. “The tremendous developments in electronic skin for robots, sensors for flying devices and biosensors to detect illness are all limited in terms of energy sources,” says Eloïse Bihar, a postdoc in the team of Derya Baran, who led the research. “Rather than bulky batteries or a connection to an electrical grid, we thought of using lightweight, ultrathin organic solar cells to harvest energy from light, whether indoors or outdoors.” Until now, ultrathin organic solar cells were typically made by spin-coating or thermal evaporation, which are not scalable and which limit device geometry.
Reforming Our Schools: Nonacademic Support for Students is Essential And then there's the no excuses crowd -- KIPP schools being one high profile example -- versus, for lack of a better term, the all excuses crowd. In other words, those who don't accept that poverty is an excuse for poor academic performance versus those who think that it dooms a child or school to low performance. The Kipp Schools Model Us versus them debates are always concerning in general; they both ignore and hide the large field of gray between two very opposing positions, and they can often prevent us from having fruitful conversations in which real progress in education reform could be made. The no excuses debate has been particularly concerning recently. Why the concern? The secret? People at KIPP know that to ensure the continued success of students after KIPP, given the often limited capacities of the communities they serve, they must provide extra support.

This Scientist Says He’s Built a Jet Engine That Turns Electricity Directly Into Thrust This past autumn, a professor at Wuhan University named Jau Tang was hard at work piecing together a thruster prototype that, at first, sounds too good to be true. The basic idea, he said in an interview, is that his device turns electricity directly into thrust — no fossil fuels required — by using microwaves to energize compressed air into a plasma state and shooting it out like a jet. Tang suggested, without a hint of self-aggrandizement, that it could likely be scaled up enough to fly large commercial passenger planes. Eventually, he says, it might even power spaceships. Needless to say, these are grandiose claims. But in Tang’s telling, his invention — let’s just call it a Tang Jet, which he worked on with Wuhan University collaborators Dan Ye and Jun Li — could have civilization-shifting potential here in the non-fictional world. “Essentially, the goal of this technology is to try and use electricity and air to replace gasoline,” he said. He anticipates this happening fast.
