Abstract:
This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the presentation of scientific literacy aspects in the scientific literacy assessment instrument for the seventh grade science material. This study uses qualitative descriptive analysis. The object of research in this study is the scientific literacy assessment instrument from the researcher Muftianah and Wahono (2018), and the researcher Arfianti (2015). The data collection technique used is literature study. The data analysis technique in this research uses content analysis. The results of the study indicate that aspects of scientific literacy have been presented well, although there is one aspect that has not been included in the scientific literacy instrument, namely the scientific process aspect. In the scientific literacy instrument for the two researchers, the aspect of scientific literacy that often appears is the aspect of science content. Thus, in measuring scientific literacy skills, all aspects of scientific literacy must be contained in scientific literacy instruments. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the aspect of scientific literacy, the two instruments that have been analyzed there is one aspect that has not been included in the scientific literacy instrument, namely the scientific process aspect. In the scientific literacy instrument of the two researchers, the aspect of scientific literacy that often appears is the aspect of science content. Thus, in measuring the ability of scientific literacy, all aspects of scientific literacy must be contained in scientific literacy instruments.

AbstractThe United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) community have joined hands to deploy arrays of small, inexpensive instruments such as magnetometers, radio telescopes, GPS receivers, all-sky cameras, and particle detectors around the world to provide global measurements of ionospheric, magnetospheric and heliospheric phenomena. The small instrument programme is envisioned as a partnership between instrument providers, and instrument hosts in developing countries as one of United Nations Basic Space Science (UNBSS) activity. The lead scientist will provide the instruments (or fabrication plans for instruments) in the array; the host country will provide manpower, facilities, and operational support to obtain data with the instrument, located typically at a local university. This paper provides an overview of the IHY/UNBSS programme, its achievements and future plans.

Abstract:
Teachers should develop effective assessment instruments to measure student learning outcomes well. Assessment instruments must also improve students' thinking abilities (HOTS). However, teachers need help compiling assessment instruments based on Revised Bloom's KKO Taxonomy, and the assessment instruments prepared are still LOTS-oriented. So far, research has yet to discuss the preparation of HOTS-based science learning outcomes assessment instruments. Therefore, this research aims to develop a HOTS-oriented assessment instrument for science content. This research is development research with a 4-D model. The subjects of this research were 69 students and involved two expert lecturers/science experts. Data collection in this study used the multiple-choice test method. The data analysis techniques in this research are validity, reliability, distinguishability, level of difficulty, and quality of distractors. The results of the research show that the assessment instrument developed is declared valid, has high reliability (reliable), and the level of difficulty is in the very good category; in terms of different power, it is stated that the instrument has good different power, and the quality of the distractor functions well. The test results show that the HOTS-oriented science learning outcomes assessment instrument is suitable for measuring student learning outcomes. This research implies that continuously using the HOTS standard assessment instrument will improve students' thinking.

Abstract:
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a 6.5m diameter, segmented, deployable telescope for cryogenic IR space astronomy (similar to 40K). The JWST Observatory architecture includes the Optical Telescope Element (OTE) and the Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) element that contains four science instruments (SI), including a guider. OSIM is a full field, cryogenic, optical simulator of the JWST OTE. It is the "Master Tool" for verifying the cryogenic alignment and optical performance of ISIM by providing simulated point source/star images to each of the four Science Instruments in ISIM. Included in OSIM is a Pupil Imaging Module (PIM) - a large format CCD used for measuring pupil alignment. Located at a virtual stop location within OSIM, the PIM records superimposed shadow images of pupil alignment reference (PAR) targets located in the OSIM and SI pupils. The OSIM Pupil Imaging Module was described by Brent Bos, et al, at SPIE in 2011 prior to ISIM testing. We have recently completed the third and final ISIM cryogenic performance verification test before ISIM was integrated with the OTE. In this paper, we describe PIM implementation, performance, and measurement results.

Abstract:
Virtual reality is a technology rapidly gaining interest from research and commercial groups around the world, but it's introduction into New Zealand has been slow. The majority of the general public have no concept of virtual reality, and only a few research institutes have begun virtual reality programmes of any sort. Partially this is due to the high cost of 'off the shelf' virtual reality systems, which is usually beyond the range of many organisations. Also the complexity of the software and the knowledge required to create and manipulate this software makes it a daunting prospect for many. This work describes the development of an economical system for the demonstration of virtual reality and some of its concepts and applications to the general public, in the form of an educational science centre exhibit. The system creates virtual musical instruments, overlayed onto the real world, and the user experiences these instruments as if they were in physical existence.

Abstract:
This dissertation describes the development of an instrument to assess students' attitudes toward science. The rationale for developing a new instrument is presented in the context of a review of existing instruments. As discussed in the literature review, many existing instruments are based on ill-defined theoretical constructs, and include statements that do not appear to be assessing the single construct of attitude toward science. In addition, existing instruments do not distinguish between biological and physical science. Thus, the purpose of this study was to carefully define the construct, attitude toward science, and develop an attitude instrument to reflect that construct and to distinguish between biological and physical science. For this study, biological science was defined as any of the branches of science dealing with living things, such as genetics, entomology, or anatomy. Physical science was defined as any of the branches of science dealing with non-living things, such as physics, geology, chemistry, or earth science. Once the Likert-scale instrument was developed, it was piloted on a sample population of students in science classes at a suburban, southwestern high school. Their responses were used to do item analyses and to calculate validity and reliability. Principal-component analysis was also performed to try to identify sub-scales. The results of the data analysis were used to select items for a final scale. The final instrument consists of two parallel forms of 20 items each. For each form, 12 items refer to science in general, four to biological science, and four to physical science. The test-retest reliability coefficients of the final instruments are 0.768 for Form A and 0.788 for Form B. The parallel-forms reliability coefficient of the instrument is 0.93. The construct validity coefficients of the final instruments, compared to Germann's Attitude Toward Science in School Assessment, is 0.82 for Form A and 0.85 for Form B. Inter-item consistency, measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, is 0.91 for Form A and 0.89 for Form B.

Abstract:
LISA, the Laser Interferometry Space Antenna, is the 3rd large mission (L3) of the ESA program Cosmic Vision with a junior partnership from NASA planned to be launched around 2034. Space-based gravitational wave observatories such as LISA have been developed for observation of sources that produce gravitational wave (GW) signals with frequencies in the mHz regime. The frequency band is achievable by having a longer-baseline interferometer compared to ground-based detectors. In addition, the significant size of the LISA arms-length guarantees the detection of many astrophysical sources. The absence of Newtonian noise in space, which is the dominant source of noise below few hertz for ground-based detectors, allows LISA to be sensitive to lower frequency compared to the former. Thus, going to space allows studying different sources with respect to the ones of interest for ground-based detectors such as supermassive black holes. Although having very long baselines between the satellites generally increases the sensitivity to gravitational waves, it also implies many technical challenges, such that a balance must be found between scientific performance and technical feasibility.In the actual proposal LISA is designed to be a constellation of three identical spacecraft in a triangular formation with six active laser links connecting the three spacecraft, which are separated by 2.5 million km. To fulfil the observatory program every spacecraft has a minimum requirement of two free-falling test masses, two telescopes, and two lasers. The detector’s center-of-mass follows a circular, heliocentric trajectory, trailing 20 degrees behind the Earth and the plane of the detector is tilted by 60 degrees with respect to the ecliptic.The goal of LISA is to detect GWs which manifest themselves as a tiny fluctuation in the frequency of the laser beam measured at the phase-meter. Thus, to detect GW you need to compete with many sources of disturbance that simulate the effect of a GW frequency modulation. Laser noise is an example of those. Therefore, one key element in the LISA data production chain is the post-processing technique called Time Delay Interferometry aimed at suppressing the intense laser frequency noise that would completely cover the astrophysical signal. Data from the six independent inter-satellite links, connecting the three spacecraft, are properly time-shifted and combined to form the final scientific signal. This post-processing technique circumvents the impossibility of physically building in space an equal arm interferometer, which would intrinsically beat the frequency noise by comparing light generated at the same time.The following work is focused on revisiting the Time-Delay-Interferometry (TDI) for LISA and studying the usage of all the possible TDI combinations we can build for the LISA instrument characterisation and science extraction. Many possible TDI combinations that suppress the frequency noise have been identified in the past and this thesis revisits the TDI technique focusing on the physical interpretation of it, that is a virtual interference of photons that have been travelling through the constellation via different paths but performing the same total distance. We illustrate all possible TDI configurations that suppress the laser noise contribution to the level required by the mission to understand how TDI channels can be best used for the diagnostic of the instrument and LISA science. With this philosophy, we develop an algorithm to search for all possible combinations that suppress laser noise at the same level as the classical TDI X, Y, and Z combinations presented in the TDI literature. This algorithm finds new combinations that fulfill the noise suppression requirement as accurately as X, Y, and Z.The LISA mission has been also advertised to probe the early Universe by detecting a stochastic GW background. Once the laser frequency noise has been subtracted, the stochastic signal, both cosmological and astrophysical, is itself going to contribute to the noise curve. Therefore it is necessary to have a good estimate of the noise of the instrument to discriminate between the stochastic background signal and the LISA noise.The strategy that has been suggested in the literature is to use the TDI T, insensitive (up to a certain order) to GW signals to estimate the pure instrumental noise in order to distinguish between the LISA background noise and the GW stochastic signal. Following this idea, as instrument noise is expected to have multiple, independent sources, this thesis explores combinations that could allow discriminating among those sources of noise, and between them and the GW signal, with the purpose of understanding how we can characterise our instrument using TDI. We illustrate special TDI combination signals in LISA, in addition to TDI T, that we call null-channels, which are ideally insensitive to gravitational waves and only carry information about instrumental noise. Studying the noise properties that can be extracted by monitoring these interferometric signals, we state that individual acceleration noise parameters are not well constrained. All null-channels behave as an ideal Sagnac interferometer, sensitive just to a particular linear combination of the six test masses acceleration that resembles a rotational acceleration signal of the entire constellation. Moreover, all null-channels show approximately the same signal to noise ratio remarkably suppressed relative to that of the TDI X. In support and application of our theoretical studies, we also give an introduction on calibrating the LISA instrument by injecting spurious signals in a LISA link and see how these propagates through a TDI channel. Indeed, this will be useful to calibrate the instrument during operations and also to build the basis for the data analysis to discriminate spurious signals from gravitational waves. My contribution to the results we present in this thesis can be summarised as the following. I supported the studies and the realisation of the search TDI algorithm whose results are published in the article. In particular, I took care of cataloging the new TDI combinations and consolidating the results we found. I have updated the TDI combinations reported in the above-mentioned work, the final version of it is reported in this thesis. I worked on the characterisation of these combinations concerning secondary noises such as clock noise, readout noise, residual laser frequency noise, and acceleration noise. In particular, I studied how these noises are transferred through the various TDI and I derive the correspondent analytical models. I then realize a software with Wolfram Mathematica, design to load and combines phase data produced by an external simulator to build the final TDI outputs, besides I also did the noise models’ validation. The basis of this program was then used to implement these TDI combinations in LISANode. Finally, I developed the algorithm to study how disturbances in force, such as glitches, and simple GW signals, such as monochromatic GW binaries, propagate through TDI and null-channels. Moreover, I tested through simulations the validity of these TDI and null-channels to distinguish instrumental artefact from GW signals and to characterise the instrumental noise.

In this work I describe a new software based musical instrument called Seq1 that was developed at the RFMedia laboratory in Ylivieska. Design choices for Seq1 came from findings in literature into similar phenomena. Research literature also unveiled the fact that although there are frameworks for describing different aspects of software based musical instruments there is no general model for classifying software based musical instruments. There are systems for classifying musical instruments such as the most prominent of these, the Hornbostel-Sachs system which is meant as a way to classify every type of musical instrument. It was originally created in 1914 and has since then been updated several times. The last update has been in 2011 which added tens of new subcategories for electrophones (electronic instruments). The subcategories meant for classifying software based musical instruments seem to be inadequate. This work introduces a sketch of a new model for classifying specifically software based musical instruments and introduces Seq1 as an example for the usage of the new classification system.

Abstract:
Le télescope spatial James Webb (JWST) est le successeur du télescope spatial Hubble (HST). Il est développé en collaboration par les agences spatiales NASA, ESA et CSA. Le spectrographe proche infrarouge NIRSpec est un instrument du JWST. Le Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon (CRAL) a développé le logiciel de simulation des performances (IPS) de NIRSpec en vue de l’étude de ses performances et de la préparation de poses synthétiques réalistes. Dans cette thèse, nous vérifions certains algorithmes de l’IPS, en particulier ceux traitant des transformations de coordonnées et de la propagation en optique de Fourier. Nous présentons ensuite une interface simplifiée pour la préparation de « scènes » d’observation et un logiciel de traitement de données permettant d’extraire des spectres à partir de poses synthétiques afin de faciliter l’exploitation des simulations. Nous décrivons comment nous avons construit et validé le modèle de l’instrument par comparaison avec les données de calibration. Pour les transformations de coordonnées, le modèle final est capable de reproduire les mesures avec une précision 3 à 5 fois meilleure que celle requise pour la calibration spectrale. Pour la transmission globale notre précision est de 0–10% dans l’absolu et meilleure que 5% en relatif. Finalement, nous présentons la première simulation d’une observation de type « champ profond spectrographique » et nous explorons comment NIRSpec pourra être utilisé pour observer le transit de planètes extra-solaires. Nous déterminons en particulier la luminosité maximale des étoiles hôtes pouvant être observées et quels peuvent être les rapports signal sur bruit attendus
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a joint project by NASA, ESA, and CSA, is the successor mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. One of the four science instruments on board is the near-infrared spectrograph NIRSpec. To study the instrument performance and to create realistic science exposures, the Centre de Recherche Astrophysique de Lyon (CRAL) developed the Instrument Performance Simulator (IPS) software. Validating the IPS functionality, creating an accurate model of the instrument, and facilitating the preparation and analysis of simulations are key elements for the success of the IPS. In this context, we verified parts of the IPS algorithms, specifically the coordinate transform formalism, and the Fourier propagation module. We also developed additional software tools to simplify the scientific usage, as a target interface to construct observation scenes, and a dedicated data reduction pipeline to extract spectra from exposures. Another part of the PhD work dealt with the assembly of an as-built instrument model, and its verification with measurements from a ground calibration campaign. For coordinate transforms inside the instrument, we achieved an accuracy of 3–5 times better than the required absolute spectral calibration, and we could reproduce the total instrument throughput with an absolute error of 0–10% and a relative error of less than 5%. Finally, we show first realistic on-sky simulations of a deep field spectroscopy scene, and we explored the capabilities of NIRSpec to study exoplanetary transit events. We determined upper brightness limits of observable host stars, and give noise estimations of exemplary transit spectra

Abstract:
Teylers Museum was founded in 1784 and soon thereafter became one of the most important centres of Dutch science. The Museum’s first director, Martinus van Marum, famously had the world’s largest electrostatic generator built and set up in Haarlem. This subsequently became the most prominent item in the Museum’s world-class, publicly accessible, and constantly growing collections. These comprised scientific instruments, mineralogical and palaeontological specimens, prints, drawings, paintings, and coins. Van Marum’s successors continued to uphold the institution’s prestige and use the collections for research purposes, while it was increasingly perceived as an art museum by the public. In the early twentieth century, the Nobel Prize laureate Hendrik Antoon Lorentz was appointed head of the scientific instrument collection and conducted experiments on the Museum’s premises. Showcasing Science: A History of Teylers Museum in the Nineteenth Century charts the history of Teylers Museum from its inception until Lorentz’ tenure. From the vantage point of the Museum’s scientific instrument collection, this book gives an analysis of the changing public role of Teylers Museum over the course of the nineteenth century.

Abstract:
This paper presents a new instrument for measuring roundness profiles of axially symmetric micro shafts with diameters below 250 micrometers. The instrument will measure form error in cutting tools used for micro machining, small-hole metrology probes, and other high aspect ratio micro structures. This instrument operates on the same physical principle as scanning tunneling microscopes, which measure surface topography using fluctuations in tunneling of electrons between probe and sample. The instrument will measure roundness profiles using a fixed-sensitive-direction arrangement of the detector, similar to macro scale metrology instruments. Challenges resulting from dimensional scaling necessitate an entirely new instrument compared to conventional instruments. We describe the need for this instrument, its working principle, architecture, the design of the traction drive mechanism, and the design of the nano positioning stages.

Full text
Abstract:
Integrity assessment of pipelines is vital to ensure that oil and gas pipes have adequate strength to prevent leaks and ruptures. Regular inspections are conducted to confirm safe operation conditions of pipelines. The industry's principle method for assessing pipelines is in-line inspection (ILI), involving the passing of a device along the inside of a pipe to assess the condition of the pipeline. ILI devices can be fitted with a number of sensors allowing various measurement parameters to be obtained simultaneously. Not all pipelines are suited to ILI for reasons such as small diameter, obstructions within the pipe, or insufficient access to deploy or retrieve the ILI tools. These pipelines are sometimes referred to as 'difficult to inspect'. Alternative methods for examining pipeline condition are required, with a range of technologies collectively known as Large Standoff Magnetometry (LSM) offering a promising solution for detection of pipe defects from a distance, reducing the need for excavation. LSM utilises the coupling between defects and changes in the magnetic properties of the pipeline material as a method for evaluation of pipe walls to identify the location of areas that require repair or further monitoring. Trials of existing commercial instruments by the pipeline industry have shown sufficient promise to investigate the technologies further. However, vendors have supplied limited information on the underpinning physics of both the materials being tested and the instrument technology. The purpose of the project is to establish the ability of LSM to detect corrosion in API 5L pipe grades B to X70. The aim of Work Package 02 is to review the physics of the agreed pipeline defects and fluxgate type magnetic sensors. The properties of pipeline-specific soft magnetic materials are investigated to understand corrosion, how this alters the material properties and how this can affect the associated magnetic fields surrounding the material. The physics of fluxgate magnetometers and gradiometers are also reviewed to assess the ability of LSM to detect these two features.

Full text
Abstract:
Science provides convincing evidence that greenhouse gas emissions generated across the plastics life cycle are estimated to be between 3.8 and 4.5 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. This is set to grow with a projected increase in primary plastic production. This report presents the synthesis of an extensive literature review of the plastics life cycle. It analyses the countries’ submissions to the UNFCCC, the Paris Agreement, and the Intergovernmental Committee on plastic pollution. It also suggests measures that co-benefit addressing plastic pollution and achieving the global climate goals. This report reveals critical gaps in the current reporting practice for accounting plastics impacts on climate under the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement and points out the role of the international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment, (the instrument) in stemming climate change. The report argues that the development and the implementation of the plastics instrument provides a unique opportunity to strengthen global efforts in addressing climate change across the plastics life cycle, complementing the broader decarbonisation activities of the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement. To combat climate change alongside the plastics life cycle, the primary focus must be on reducing the production of plastics and focusing on low-carbon design as well as improving waste management and remediation. Additionally, the report draws attention to the lack of internationally agreed definitions used for the assessment of the impacts of plastics on climate, which would guide research, national reporting, and policy interventions in the future.

HORIZON 2020 was the European Commission’s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation between 2014 and 2020. With a budget of nearly €80 billion, it was the largest financial instrument for research and innovation ever in the European Union. Its predecessor, the 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7), for the period 2007–2013, had a budget of just over €50 billion. The political goal behind Horizon 2020 was to ensure that Europe produces world-class science and technology that drives economic growth. The framework programme was built around three main programme sections, known as Pillars, complemented by other work programmes, including the Joint Research Centre, the Euratom Programme and the Public-Private Partnerships.
