Show moreAlthough space radiation is a known risk for space travel and eventual colonization of Moon or Mars, relatively few data exist on radiation effects on potential crop plants. We studied 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘢 to assess the tolerance of seeds and seedlings to radiation by exposing dry and hydrated 𝘉. 𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘢 seeds to 1, 2 and 3 MeV proton ions of various fluences and examined the effect on germination and root growth. Modeling penetration depth with SRIM code indicated that the applied energy was insufficient to penetrate the seeds; therefore, all energy was deposited into the tissue. Subsequent germination varied based on the incident ion energy and fluence (dose). Dry and hydrated seeds germinate after ion fluence (10¹³ ions cm⁻²) irradiation, but the germination percentage decreased with increasing fluence for ions that could penetrate the seed coat (> 1 MeV). Despite their greater volume and mass, hydrated seeds were more sensitive to irradiation than dry seeds. Damage of the seed coat after irradiation led to faster germination and initial seedling growth. Our results suggest that the seed coat represents a valuable natural radiation protection and that low energy protons, the prevailing solar radiation, are suitable for studying radiation effects in seeds and plants.

Show moreElectrostatic accelerators have been at the forefront of modern technology since 1932, when Sir John Cockroft and Ernest Walton developed the first accelerator. Although the electrostatic accelerator field is over 90 years old, the field and the number of accelerators is growing more rapidly than ever. This book provides a collection of the basic science and technology that underlies the electrostatic accelerator field so it can serve as a handbook, reference guide, and textbook for accelerator engineers, students, and researchers in the field.

Show moreIt is important for all members of a culture or community (including school community) to “encourage children to understand cultural differences, to take pride in individual differences and use this understanding to develop uniqueness versus awkwardness in society” (Cox & Wallis, 1982, 264). If young children are supported within the visualization of how they reflectively see their fit within the world, there are possibilities to embrace the leadership benefits of heritage and belonging, and eventually gain the understanding of how to use their cultural authenticity as a strength of character development. Authors explored regional libraries for diverse books, specifically for preservice teachers to use as an emerging model of English Language Arts (ELA) and Social Studies curriculum planning with children’s literature. There was a lack of authentic cultural connections in these libraries to support multicultural populations in their historical and current diverse literature sections. The authors contend that developmentally, children must see themselves in picture books and other literature to make genuine connections for a cultural identity, language, and self-identification in children’s literature. Portrayal of all cultures accurately is important to reduce bias and misconceptions of others who might be different than the reader. We uncovered missing voices in Cajun, Creole and Native American in children’s literature.
