Some of the global norms, facts and findings on poverty have l ed to two incorrect conclusions: that good progress is being made towards the target of halving global poverty by 2015, and that aggregate economic growth is the best way for reducing it further. The paper questions whether $1 per day is a valid poverty norm, whether poverty trends for China are an enigma; and whether statistical va...

Are We Really Measuring the ρ-Value?

The “normal” analysis of p̄p and pp elastic scattering uses a ‘spinless’ Coulomb amplitude, i.e., a Rutherford amplitude (2 √ πα/t) multiplied by a Coulomb form factor G2(t), an ansatz that pretends that the nucleon does not have any magnetic scattering. In this note, we investigate the role of the anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon, κ ≈ 1.79. Given the method of analysis currently used by...

Pediatric disaster preparedness: are we really prepared?

Pediatric disaster preparedness implies that systems are in place to ensure the rapid triage and emergency management of children as patients in a natural, manmade, or terrorist-initiated disaster. Children are a vulnerable population for a number of reasons that include anatomic, physiologic, immunologic, developmental and psychologic issues that are important for planning for the care of chil...
