TL;DR: The StarLogo modeling language is designed as a medium for students to build models of multi-leveled phenomena and through these constructions explore the concept of levels as discussed by the authors, which is fundamental to scientific theory.
Abstract: The concept of emergent "levels" (i.e., levels that arise from interactions of objects at lower levels) is fundamental to scientific theory. In this paper, we argue for an expanded role for this concept of levels in science education. We show confusion of levels (and "slippage" between levels) as the source of many of people's deep misunderstandings about patterns and phenomena in the world. These misunderstandings are evidenced not only in students' difficulties in the formal study of science but also in their misconceptions about experiences in their everyday lives. The StarLogo modeling language is designed as a medium for students to build models of multi-leveled phenomena and through these constructions explore the concept of levels. We describe several case studies of students working in StarLogo. The cases illustrate students' difficulties with the concept of levels, and how they can begin to develop richer understandings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the spin and parity quantum numbers of the Higgs boson were studied based on the collision data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, and the results showed that the standard model spin-parity J(...

TL;DR: Data from two experiments examined the nature of access, storage, and comprehension of idiomatic phrases and support a Lexical Representation Hypothesis for the processing of idioms.

TL;DR: The results have identified PDK-1 as the kinase that phosphorylates and activates PKC zeta in the PI 3-kinase signaling pathway, and shows that a membrane-targeted PKCZeta is constitutively active in the absence of agonist stimulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the strength of the electromagnetic fields produced due to the electroweak phase transition in the early universe and show that the resulting electromagnetic fields can also produce magnetic fields of other unbroken gauge symmetries such as SU(3)c.
