Educating student to respond Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) calls for teaching and learning where students are at the centre of their own learning. Sustainability questions ‘wicked problems’, no single, correct answer exists, but answers depend on values those who answer, require innovative pedagogy active, action-oriented allowing learners think critically engage in exploring sustainable...

Boron is required for fiber growth and development in cotton ovules cultured in vitro. Incorporation of [(14)C]glucose by such fiber from supplied UDP-[(14)C]glucose into the hot alkali-insoluble fraction is rapid and linear for about 30 minutes. Incorporation of [(14)C]glucose from such substrate by fibers grown in boron-deficient ovule cultures is much less than in the case with fibers from o...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(14)N(4)·2H(2)O consists of two half-mol-ecules of the main mol-ecule, each situated on an inversion center, and two mol-ecules of water. One-dimensional chains of water mol-ecules are built up by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds which are then linked with the main mol-ecule via O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional supra-molecular network in the a...

 Developments research have made culturing human embryos beyond the 14-day limit seem technologically feasible. In article “Emerging Human Embryo Research Technologies, Rule, and Special Status of Embryo,” authors examine a proposal for new embryo embryoid guidelines by reviewing history emerging areas that are impacted these...

Current models of the peopling of the higher-elevation zones of the Tibetan Plateau postulate that permanent occupation could only have been facilitated by an agricultural lifeway at ~3.6 thousand calibrated carbon-14 years before present. Here we report a reanalysis of the chronology of the Chusang site, located on the central Tibetan Plateau at an elevation of ~4270 meters above sea level. Th...

The Great Australian Bight south of Australia is an important link for the flow of surface, intermediate and deep water between the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Carbon-14 is a tracer of this flow and for the first time, water samples for subsequent carbon-14 analysis were collected at several locations within the Bight. We report and discuss the observed carbon-14 distribution in relation to the g...

Determining the spatiotemporal water quality patterns and their corresponding driving factors is crucial for lake water quality managements. This study analyzed hydrological data and concentrations of 11 water quality parameters, including total nitrogen, total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen and chlorophyll–a (Chl–a), for water samples collected from 15 sampling sites between 2009 and 2014. The w...
