New Rotation Periods from the Kepler Bonus Background Light Curves by Zachary R. Claytor, Jamie Tayar

“…However, due to Kepler’s large 4″ pixels, many of its light curves are at high risk of contamination from background sources. The new Kepler Bonus Background light curves are deblended using a point-spread function algorithm, providing light curves of over 400,000 new background sources in addition to over 200,000 reanalyzed Kepler prime targets. …”

THE USING OF DIGITAL TOOLS IN THE PROJECT ACTIVITIES OF STUDENTS OF PEDAGOGICAL SPECIALTIES OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS by Liudmyla Nezhyva, Svitlana Palamar, Nataliia Semenii

“…The main criteria for selecting digital tools were: simple interface (so students can master its functionality faster); compliance to the State Standard for Primary Education; didactic value; accessibility (the age of pupils and the ability to comprehend tasks developed with the help of the proposed digital tools were taken into account); technical and methodological support (present on all proposed digital resources, which facilitates understanding of their interface); very important criterion is the wide functionality on a free basis; the ability to adapt in various modern conditions during offline and online learning.  …”

Molecular organization of the nanoscale surface structures of the dragonfly Hemianax papuensis wing epicuticle. by Elena P Ivanova, Song Ha Nguyen, Hayden K Webb, Jafar Hasan, Vi Khanh Truong, Robert N Lamb, Xiaofei Duan, Mark J Tobin, Peter J Mahon, Russell J Crawford

“…The molecular organization of the epicuticle (the outermost layer) of insect wings is vital in the formation of the nanoscale surface patterns that are responsible for bestowing remarkable functional properties. Using a combination of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, including Synchrotron-sourced Fourier-transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), we have identified the chemical components that constitute the nanoscale structures on the surface of the wings of the dragonfly, Hemianax papuensis. …”
