Can poorly performing doctors blame their assessment tools?
In the health services of the Western world, a search is under way to find effective and practical methods for assessing the performance of doctors. Regulators want to identify those doctors with unacceptable performance, educators want methods to guide their various interventions, and managers want information for monitoring and appraisal. Use of multisource feedback (sometimes called 360° fee...
متن کاملShould Bad Workmen Always Blame Their Tools?
In this issue of Neuron, differentiated brain regions in humans that are selectively responsive to viewing motion: (1) of humans, (2) of tools/utensils, and (3) in general. Active regions were the superior temporal sulcus, middle temporal gyrus, and MT/V5, respectively. This study provides impetus for future work in motion perception and its relationship to apraxia.
متن کاملCan Heavy WIMPs Be Captured by the Earth?
If weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in bound solar orbits are systematically driven into the Sun by solar-system resonances (as Farinella et al. have shown is the case for many Earth-crossing asteroids), then the capture of high-mass WIMPs by the Earth would be affected dramatically because high-mass WIMPs are captured primarily from bound orbits. WIMP capture would be eliminated fo...
متن کاملGenes in their environment: how can we read the riddles?
Once upon a time, as all the best children’s stories begin, a lot of clever geneticists began a huge hunt for the “asthma gene.” At first they thought they had found it, but then more andmore of the hunters found different “asthma genes,” and sometimes some gene hunters could not find the gene that previous hunters thoughtwas thekeyone. Life becamemore and more confusing, and the root causes, w...
متن کاملDirect Detection of WIMPs
In the next chapters we are going to give an overview of the main WIMP search strategies, which fall in three big categories: • Direct searches probe the scattering cross section of WIMPs with nuclei, by looking for nuclear recoils in some target material in a low background environment. When a WIMP of the galactic halo passes through the target, it may scatter off a nucleus, whose recoil will ...
