Growth Toxic Effects of Metal Nanoparticles on Bacillus subtilis and Vibrio parahaemolyticus by Shiyu CHEN, Bin XIA, Lin ZHU, Shuang LI, Qiufen LI, Xuemei SUN, Wei DAI

“…The obtained response values are proportional to the concentration and mobility of the ionic current in culture mediums. Since the uncharged or weakly charged substrate will be converted into highly charged small-molecule substances during the growth and proliferation of bacteria—thus increasing the culture medium conductivity—the bacterial growth process can be recorded quickly and accurately by detecting the change in the conductivity of the culture medium. …”

A predictive analysis of STEM vocation through students’ attitudes to school science classes by María-Antonia Manassero-Mas, Ángel Vázquez-Alonso

“…Six school science class items significantly predicted the students’ degree of STEM vocation by sharing 46.1% of their common variance. In decreasing order of prediction power, the six significant predictors are “liking school science better than most other subjects,” “helping to understand sustainability solutions,” “becoming more critical and skeptical,” “importance of science for our way of life,” “difficulty of school science,” and “opening my eyes to new and exciting jobs.”DiscusionThe implications of this study for promoting STEM vocations suggest that teachers carefully cultivate those relevant characteristics of school science classes through appropriate pedagogies and inclusive and equitable contexts for all, especially for girls.…”
