The Target Silicon Detector for the FOCUS Spectrometer
We describe a silicon microstrip detector interleaved with segments of a
beryllium oxide target which was used in the FOCUS photoproduction experiment
at Fermilab. The detector was designed to improve the vertex resolution and to
enhance the reconstruction efficiency of short-lived charm particles.Comment: 18 pages, 14 figure

Operations management teaching on European MBA programmes
A comprehensive review of the literature established that several investigations
have been made of operations management teaching in the USA, whereas almost
nothing has been published on European teaching. Therefore, an exploratory
investigation was made of operations management teaching on the MBA courses of
ten leading European business schools. The results show that course content is
similar across schools, but there are large variations on three dimensions: the
time allocated by schools to the subject; the balance between operations
strategy and tools and techniques in teaching; and the level of emphasis given
to service operations. The results also indicate the emerging importance of
integrating operations management with other subjects in the MBA curriculum and
the key challenge facing faculty - the need to raise the perceived importance of
operations management. The comparison of courses will be of interest to all
operations management faculty who teach core courses and particularly those who
are looking for ideas on how to re-design courses
