Memories from the W Boson Discovery

The fascinating story of a major discovery at CERN is outlined. The bold decision to convert its most powerful, and only recently inaugurated, proton accelerator to a proton-antiproton collider led to the discovery of the W and Z bosons -- mediators of the weak interaction -- in a record time, at the experiments UA1 and UA2. The decisive roles of Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer, who received the 1984 Nobel Prize for physics, are underlined.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures.

Teaching Methods Utilizing a Field Theory Viewpoint in the Elementary Reading Program

The trend in reading instruction during the past few years, has strongly focused on the whole child, his individuality, his feelings, beliefs, and goals as well as his cognitive abilities. All of these constitute the child\u27s life space and are the parts of the whole that teachers must deal with. Consistent with this learning theory, the teacher\u27s role has changed. Teaching now consists of the promotion and enrichment of the interactive learning process between the child and his environment. The teaching environment of the reading program is most important to the young reader\u27s success. The acceleration of the reading process depends on the ability of the teacher to create an environment that both challenges and facilitates this interaction

The Kansas Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, 1968-1970

The feminist movement in the United States began with a refusal by women to allow their traditional secondary status to remain acceptable. Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the United States, once admonished that "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent."1 In most cultures around the world, including the United States, women have consented to inferiority throughout much of their history. But no longer. The women's rights movement has led to "enormous and mundane, subtle and not-so-subtle, delightful, painful, immediate, far-reaching, paradoxical, inexorable and probably irreversible changes in women's lives, and men's."

Voiles diaphanes : la photographie comme enfermement, enfouissement, disparition du sujet

Par le portrait photographique, nous tentons de questionner les notions de présentation, représentation, d’enfermement, d’enfouissement et de perte d’identification du référent. Pour cela nous prenons en compte l’action de la lumière, le temps et le support, qui sont les principales notions que l’on retrouve en photographie. Ces notions peuvent être mises au regard des classes de quatrième, de seconde et de première concernant les processus de création. Au travers différents dispositifs de prise de vue et de présentation, nous cherchons à perdre l’identification du sujet allant jusqu’à son annulation. Le spectateur se trouve face à des photographies, presque abstraites, lui présentant plus un sujet devenu matière qu’un sujet réel. Cela étant dû au travail des différentes strates de la photographie aussi bien argentique que numérique. Nous abordons cette perte d’identification selon trois axes : l’enfermement, l’enfouissement et l’altération
