3. Results The investigated minerals show Raman bands between 375 and 50 cm-1 (Figs. 1-4, Table 1), where the cut-off value of the employed Raman notch and edge filters determine the low-energy limit. The Raman bands in the boulangerite spectra occur in the vibrational region between 375 and 50 cm–1 (Fig. 1, Table 1), with no additional bands in higher or lower wavenumber regions. Boulangerite spectra are characterized by a very strong band at 335 cm–1 and reveal thirteen strong, medium, weak to

Multiplicative thinking, fractions and decimals are important aspects of mathematics required for a deep conceptual understanding. The following portfolio will discuss the key ideas of each and the strategies to enable positive teaching. It will highlight certain difficulties and misconceptions that children face and discuss resources and activities to help alleviate these. It will also acknowledge the connections between the areas of mathematics and discuss the need for succinct teaching instead
This paper will look at Ridley Scott’s use of distinctive characteristics from both science fiction and film noir, in the multi-generic film Blade Runner.

Peter Weir’s film, The Truman Show, allows readers the opportunity to make connections between his work and Plato’s The Allegory of the Cave. This opportunity fosters the kind of investigation into the truths of reality that make for interesting fodder for conversation.
