Collision times in pi-pi and pi-K scattering and spectroscopy of meson resonances

Using the concept of collision time (time delay) introduced by Eisenbud and Wigner and its connection to on-shell intermediate unstable states, we study mesonic resonances in pi-pi and pi-K scattering. The time-delay method proves its usefulness by revealing the spectrum of the well-known rho- and K*-mesons and by supporting some speculations on rho-mesons in the 1200 MeV region. We use this method further to shed some light on more speculative meson resonances, among others the enigmatic scalars. We confirm the existence of chiralons below 1 GeV in the unflavoured and strange meson sector.Comment: 22 pages LaTex, 8 figure

ICT in Food Technology In-service Training

This article is an abridged version of an assignment submitted for an MA Module in ICT in Education in 1998. As part of a drive to introduce and make ICT an intrinsic element of classroom teaching in food technology, three in-service sessions were organised and delivered in collaboration with any inspector for design and technology in a Local Education Authority (LEA). The rationale for the in-service was to address key issues identified on inspections concerning the use, or apparent lack of ICT, in many material areas of design and technology. These included computer anxiety, resistance to ICT and making ICT relevant to the curriculum area
