Rethinking Tutoring Activities in the New Normal: New Ways of Tutoring and Evolution of The Tutor’s Profile

This paper investigates the evolving profile of university tutors at a traditional public university in response to the complex and uncertain context created by the COVID-19 pandemic. As evidenced in existing literature, there is a dearth of research on tutors [1], a gap that continues to exist today [2]. In order to fulfil this gap, the main contribution of this paper is to analyse whether the changes described in recent scientific literature (such as the evolving role of tutors, the types o...

Ab Initio Study of the Conductivities of B2 FeSi Under Core‐Mantle Boundary Conditions

On the effectiveness of electrical characterization of mature Staphylococcal Biofilm

In this paper, the authors describe an experimental study carried out on biological samples consisting of a 96-h mature Methicillin-Resistant-Staphylococcus-Aureus biofilm. The initial objective was to electrically characterize the biofilm using impedance spectroscopy, by scanning a wide range of frequencies [1 Hz ÷ 10 MHz]. Concurrently, confocal microscopy observations, XTT assays, crystal violet staining method and colony-forming unit assay were performed to characterize the biol...

Impurity study in the dimensionless and dimensional isotope identity experiment between JET Deuterium and Tritium L-mode plasmas

The behaviour of impurities in fusion plasmas is of crucial importance for achieving sustained fusion reactions, and understanding similarities and differences between Deuterium (D) and Tritium (T) plasmas is needed to assess potential changes from DD to DT in ITER and future reactors. The first dimensionless and dimensional isotope identity experiments between Deuterium (D) and Tritium (T) L-mode plasmas were conducted at the JET W/Be wall. In the first approach, the discharges with matched ...
