Night Flight: Online Literary Journal

Shortly after being inaugurated as President of the United States, Eli Gideon is presented with a book. Though it appears to be a mere book, it possesses the power to alter reality. Eli, believing himself worthy of this power, begins to make changes that, initially small in scope, grow - as do the consequences. The global landscape slowly becomes unrecognizable as Eli's ego pushes to bring order - but will he bring destruction instead?

Prospects For Enriching A Balanced Diet Of Fish Using Proteins And Enzymes From The Fungus Aspergillus Oryzae, Khusan N. Niyozov, Kuchkor O. Dodaev, Zakhro R. Akhmedova, Munavvar A. Yakhyayeva

CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

The aim of the work is to create a technology for producing protein-rich compound feed that improves digestion processes and enriches the composition of balanced fish feed. The prospects for enriching a balanced fish diet are achieved by using proteins and enzymes of Aspergillus Oryzae fungi. The fungi produced an enzyme preparation containing protease, α-amylase. The preparation was tested for converting locally produced fish feed with an increased carbohydrate content of up to 77%, respectively, with a reduced protein content of 14.5-16.5%, while creating, for example, a favorable pH value. It was found that the activity of the α-amylase enzyme, …

X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Investigation Of Surface Changes In Chalcocite And Enargite Minerals Following Oxidation Treatment, Berdakh T. Daniyarov, Miki Hajime, Baxtigul Y. Ruzieva, Shahlo Sh. Daminova

CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Copper sulfide minerals, such as chalcocite (Cu₂S) and enargite (Cu₃AsS₄), are important sources of copper, which has wide applications in electronics, energy, and other industries. These minerals are traditionally processed using flotation methods, which are one of the most effective ways to extract copper from sulfide ores. However, the success of flotation of copper sulfides, such as chalcocite and enargite, strongly depends on changes in their surface properties, such as hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity, which can be modified by various chemical reagents. To further understand the impact of these chemical reagents on chalcocite and enargite minerals, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was …

Influence Of Thermal Cycling On The Resistance Of Bismuth Cuprates Synthesized Using Solar Energy, Dilbara Dj. Gulamova, Sirojiddin Z. Mirzaev, Sirojiddin Kh. Bobokulov, Elyor B. Eshonkulov, Grigor I. Mamniashvili

CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

A bulk superconducting ceramic synthesized using solar technology exhibits a sharp increase in resistance from zero to approximately 160Ω at 250 K. Four thermal cycling tests in the range of 79-360 K revealed a tendency for the temperature transition interval to narrow and a comparatively sharp jump at 290 K, suggesting a superconducting transition. The effect of stress concentration at grain boundaries during four cycles leads to an increase in the superconducting transition temperature due to the cumulative rise in stress and pinning force. The assumption that these effects are caused by superconducting homologous phases is based on the manifestation …

P53 Tumor Suppressor Gene Expression In Ameloblastoma Subtypes: An Immunohistochemical Analysis, Yara Y. Mouselhy, Ahmed Abozekry, Iman M. Abdel Meguid, Raneem F. Obeid, Mai Abdelhalim Hamouda, Hala El-Kammar

Future Dental Journal

Background: Ameloblastoma is the most frequent of the benign epithelial odontogenic tumours. It exhibits a unique biologic behavior which demands meticulous understanding for thorough diagnosis and management. P53 tumor suppressor protein functions as a gatekeeper of cell division, inducing either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. While mutations in the p53 gene are often detected in human cancers; the role of p53 in ameloblastoma remains elusive.

Material and methods: To investigate p53 expression in ameloblastoma, a retrospective study was designed to evaluate and compare immunohistochemical p53 protein expression patterns, in follicular ameloblastoma, plexiform ameloblastoma and unicystic ameloblastoma. Nine paraffin-embedded archival tissue …

African American Male Reluctance In Teacher Education, Michael L. Williams Feb 2025

African American Male Reluctance In Teacher Education, Michael L. Williams

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

There is a shortage of teachers among rapidly expanding populations of culturally diverse students in K-12 education. Minority students enrolled in public schools have been rising while the number of minority teachers has been falling. Twenty percent of teachers are from ethnic and racial backgrounds, however, schools educate majority-minority populations. What is most troubling, is that the most negatively impacted student of K-12 diverse populations is African-American males. This commentary focuses on the fact that there are initiatives and ideas to close the teacher diversity gap by creating pipelines of African American male teachers. However, the effort it takes to …
