Questions determine our fate as individuals and societies. Asking the right questions at time in amount makes choices decisions meaningful. As human beings we all experience this from an early age. In education, order to evaluate, learn inform growth of students, professional development teachers overall efficiency system, become integral element complex, non-linear social system different leve...

Energy geostructures (EGs) represent an innovative technology in the sustainable energy agenda and are useful for satisfying needs of built environment. They usually involving such as piles, walls, tunnels, shafts, sewers. The application to infrastructure projects may have considerable thermal potential because large surfaces that can be thermally activated. This study focuses on thermo-active...

Geoscientists from the Coso Operating Company, EGI-Utah, GeoMechanics International, and the U.S. Geological Survey are cooperating in a multi-year study to develop an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) in the Coso Geothermal Field. Key to the creation of an EGS is an understanding of the relationship among natural fracture distribution, fluid flow, and the ambient tectonic stresses that exist wi...

We investigate the luminous X-ray sources in the Lockman Hole (LH) and the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) detected at 24μm using MIPS and also with IRAC on board Spitzer. We assemble optical/infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 45 X-ray/24μm sources in the EGS and LH. Only about 1/4 of the hard X-ray/24μm sources show pure type 1 AGN SEDs. More than half of the X-ray/24μm sources have ...

Floral scent has been extensively investigated in plants of the South American genus Petunia. Flowers of Petunia integrifolia emit mostly benzaldehyde, while flowers of Petunia axillaris subsp. axillaris emit a mixture of volatile benzenoid and phenylpropanoid compounds that include isoeugenol and eugenol. Flowers of the artificial hybrid Petunia hybrida, a cross between P. integrifolia and P. ...

This paper is an update of an earlier supply analysis, He, et al., (2013), of low-temperature utilization of geothermal resources using geothermal district heating and cooling systems. Along with the use of identified hydrothermal resources, it updates the supply curve for direct-use utilization using undiscovered hydrothermal resources and near-hydrothermal EGS resources. It also incorporates ...

BACKGROUND Moyamoya disease is an idiopathic progressive cerebrovascular steno-occlusive disorder characterized by the formation of numerous collaterals called moyamoya vessels. Accurate evaluation of vascular status and CBF is needed for prompt treatment to prevent ischemic and/or hemorrhagic events. The pathogenesis of the ivy sign on fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images of moya...

Abstract Various studies show that sustainability and education are closely interdependent. Design implementation of the right performance assessment for students’ skills acquisition achievements is, therefore, critical achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article presents an in-depth analysis Qatar system (K-12 level), focusing on current approaches remaining challenges hinder ...
