Red crystals of Na4TiSe4 were obtained by reacting an intimate mixture of Na2Se, Ti and Se at 750°C. Na4TiSe4 is monoclinic, space group I2/a with a = 24.027(6), b = 7.346(4), c = 21.572(6) A, (3 = 104.52(2)°, Z = 16. Its crystal structure was determined from diffractometer data (AgKa-radiation) and refined to a conventional R of 0.036 for 2673 F0's and 158 variables. The crystal structure is o...

During development, retinal ganglion cell axons grow from the eye through the ventral diencephalon, where axons from each eye intersect, forming the optic chiasm. The optic chiasm is associated with the formation of a bilateral projection of axons from each retina to major visual relay nuclei (Guillery et al., 1995; Mason and Sretavan, 1997). In rodents, axons from the ventral temporal retina t...

Research findings indicate a decline in students’ motivation towards science learning through grade levels. However, there is lack of studies investigating comparing between subjects and at different school Using self-determination theory as framework, this study compares perceived changes intrinsic student opinions on the relevance themes among students grades 6 9 (the end compulsory schooling...
