Teacher Education: what we can learn from experienced teachers

What Can We Learn from 21 Years of School Poisonings in New Zealand?

Background: Childhood poisoning is a significant international health concern. Very little is known about trends in exposures within schools and preschools. The objectives of this study were to investigate the data recorded by the New Zealand National Poisons Centre (NPC) on these types of exposures over a 21 year period (1989 to 2009) and to determine trends and propose strategies to reduce th...

What we can learn from atmospheric neutrinos

Physics potential of future measurements of atmospheric neutrinos is explored. Observation of ∆m221 driven sub-dominant effects and θ13 driven large matter effects in atmospheric neutrinos can be used to study the deviation of θ23 from maximality and its octant. Neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined extremely well due to the large matter effects. New physics can be constrained both in stand...

What can we learn from Europe?

The European Society of Cardiology has produced guidelines for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction as well as for chronic heart failure and for the use of beta blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. These documents provide clear evidence and strength of recommendations for the secondary prevention of complications after a myocardial infarction. The identification of hea...

What can we learn from b → sγ ?

We review some recent theoretical progress in the understanding of weak radiative B meson decay, and discuss the implications of present and improved measurements of b → sγ for supersymmetric models. Talk presented at Beauty ’97, Fifth International Workshop on B-Physics at Hadron Machines, Los Angeles, CA, October 13-17, 1997. To be published in Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Resea...
