This document defines the competencies that a trainee should acquire during the training period, and subsequently maintain and enhance throughout their professional life. It lists how the competencies may be taught, learnt and assessed in training. It is a statement of the minimum level of competency expected on entering core training and at the end of training.

This paper looks at different rules in dissolving a common value partnership when one partner holds proprietary information. In winner’s bid auction (WBA) and loser’s bid auction (LBA), there exists unique mixed strategy equilibrium. “Payoff equivalence” is established in the sense that partners’ expected payoffs are the same under the two auction formats. The informed partner benefits from an ...

When the Akebono (EXOS-D) satellite passed through the plasmasphere, a series of lightning whistlers was observed by its analog wideband receiver (WBA). Recently, we developed an intelligent algorithm to detect lightning whistlers from WBA data. In this study, we analyzed two typical events representing the clear dispersion characteristics of lightning whistlers along the trajectory of Akebono....

Abstract. We perform a Why-Because Analysis (WBA) starting from the information in the Executive Summary of the U.S. DoD Aircraft Accident Investigation Board report on the shootdown of two U.S. Army Black Hawk transport helicopters by U.S.A.F. F-15 fighter aircraft over Northern Iraq on 14 April 1994, during Operation Provide Comfort. We compare with the effort of Snook to perform a similar an...

Business needs in many corporations call for learning outcomes that involve problem solutions, and creating and sharing new knowledge within workplace situations that may involve collaboration among members of a team. We argue that work-based activities (WBA) and computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) are appropriate components for courses in such learning situations. Via this approac...
