This review on weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter direct detection focuses on experimental approaches and the corresponding physics basics. The presentation is intended to provide a quick and concise introduction for non-specialists to this fast evolving topic of astroparticle physics.

Thus, when there is a large variation in the number of specialists, it may be more difficult to achieve a harmonization of the content of the speciality and specialist training. Given the free movement and automatic recognition of medical specialists in the EU, it would be important to develop a programme for the recognition of quality and for quality assurance of the specialist training. So fa...

1. Introduction. Modern applied statistics typically involves elements of computation, probability theory, statistical theory and collaboration with specialists in the subject matter of some substantive field. In this article I shall describe part of a continuing experience of collaboration with two neurophysiologists from U. In formal terms, the problem considered is one of measuring the degre...
