Testing Anomalous Couplings in Collisions
We analyze the influence of anomalous gauge couplings in the reaction at a 500 GeV linear collider. The
limits imposed by this process on deviations from the standard model of
electro-weak interaction, are competitive with those inferred from other high
energy experiments. Furthermore, the allowed domain in the parameter space is
quite different, and hence such an experiment would more than complement the
other direct searches.Comment: LaTex, 9 pages + 5 figures (not included) Full postscript version

Production of Mesons in the Reaction at 3.67 GeV/c
The ratio of the total exclusive production cross sections for
and mesons has been measured in the reaction at
GeV/c. The observed ratio is
from which the exclusive
meson production cross section is determined to be
. Differential cross section
distributions have been measured. Their shape is consistent with isotropic
meson production.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, accepted by Phys.Lett.
Occupational stress, work-home interference and burnout among Belgian veterinary practitioners
There have been few formal studies on stress in veterinary surgeons and, in the rare studies available, stress is not examined jointly through the levels of job strain and job engagement, the sources of stress in the issue of work environment and the work-home interference. The authors' goal in this study was to analyse job engagement, job strain, burnout, work-home interference and job stress factors among 216 Belgian veterinary surgeons. Rural practice was compared to small animal and mixed activity. The mean job strain and job engagement level in veterinary surgeons was not higher than what we found in other working populations. However, 15.6% of the group were found to be suffering from high burnout. Rural practitioners had a lower level of job engagement than small animal veterinary surgeons. These small animal practitioners had a lower level of job strain than the mixed practitioners. The level of burnout did not differ significantly across the three types of activity. In comparison to other Belgian and Dutch workers, veterinary surgeons perceived more negative work-home interference. Bovine and mixed practitioners were the most concerned with this problem. The two most important sources of stress reported by bovine practitioners were relations to farmers and working time management (including emergencies and availability)
