    've recently come across a fantastic resource, that I wish I had've known about several months ago, but hope you all can still find it useful. It is a Journal for Multicultural Education by a university in the States. The best part is, it's free! Here's the link: http://www.wtamu.edu/journal/multiculturalism-in-education.aspx Another good one that I use is the International Journal of Multicultural Education: http://ijme-journal.org/index.php/ijme/index Hope they are useful for you!

L'avventura delle due Lune così si spiega la faccia "ruvida" - Repubblica.it - 0 views

  • Un giorno molto lontano la Terra aveva due lune. Poi una impattò sull'altra molto dolcemente, quasi planando su di essa e plasmò metà della sua superficie. Questo quadro della storia del nostro satellite ha il pregio di spiegare perché la Luna, quella che oggi splende nei nostri cieli, ha due facce così diverse. Quella che è rivolta a noi infatti, è molto più ricca di pianure rispetto a quella che non si mostra mai e che è molto più ricca di altopiani.
  • Spiega Francis Nimmo della University of California di Santa Cruz che ha pubblicato la sua ricerca su Nature: "Quando i due corpi arrivarono a una distanza di circa un terzo di quella che oggi possiede la Luna, cioè circa 10 milioni di anni dopo la loro formazione, iniziò a farsi sentire su di loro la gravità del Sole che agì su i due oggetti in modo diverso, in quanto differenti erano le loro masse. Questo ebbe come risultato lo scontro tra i due oggetti. L'impatto però avvenne molto dolcemente perché in due corpi si trovavano sulla medesima orbita".
  • Una spiegazione "interessante e provocatoria", l'ha definita Peter Schultz, planetologo alla Brown University di Providence (Rhode Island), perché potrebbe spiegare l'anomalia della struttura lunare, ma al momento essa va presa come un'ipotesi e solo quando avremo dati più sicuri e certi potremo avere una conferma o meno di questa tesi.

  • Buzzing quietly beneath the planet we inhabit is an unseen world of numbers, patterns and geometry. Mathematics is the code that makes sense of our universe.
  • But every 13 years, the banjos and basses get drowned out for six weeks by the chorus of an insect that has fascinated me ever since I became a mathematician. Only found in the eastern areas of North America, this cicadas survival depends on exploiting the strange properties of some of the most fundamental numbers in mathematics - the primes, numbers that are only divisible by themselves and one.
  • This choice of a 13-year cycle doesn't seem too arbitrary. There are another two broods across north America that also have this 13-year life cycle, appearing in different regions and different years. In addition there are another 12 broods that appear every 17 years.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • You could just dismiss these numbers as random. But it's very curious that there are no cicadas with 12, 14, 15, 16 or 18-year life cycles. However look at these cicadas through the mathematician's eyes and a pattern begins to emerge. Because 13 and 17 are both indivisible this gives the cicadas an evolutionary advantage as primes are helpful in avoiding other animals with periodic behaviour. Suppose for example that a predator appears every six years in the forest. Then a cicada with an eight or nine-year life cycle will coincide with the predator much more often than a cicada with a seven-year prime life cycle.
  • The cryptography that keeps our credit cards secure when we shop online exploits the same numbers that protect the cicadas in North America - the primes.
  • The reason this is so secure is that although it is easy to multiply two prime numbers together it is almost impossible to pull them apart.
  • The primes are the atoms of the arithmetic. The hydrogen and oxygen of the world of numbers.
  • We know primes go on for ever but finding a pattern in the primes is one of the biggest mysteries in mathematics. A million-dollar prize has been offered to anyone who can reveal the secret of these numbers.
