High-resolution isotope-shift spectroscopy of Cd I

We present absolute frequency measurements of the 1P1←1S0 (229nm) and 3P1←1S0 (326nm) transitions for all naturally occurring isotopes of cadmium. The isotope shifts and hyperfine intervals of the fermionic isotopes are determined with an accuracy of 3.3MHz. We find that quantum interference in the laser-induced fluorescence spectra of the 1P1←1S0 transition causes an error of up to 29(5)MHz in determining the hyperfine splitting, when not accounted for with an appropriate model. Using a King-plot analysis, we extract the field- and mass-shift parameters and determine nuclear charge radius differences for the fermions. The lifetime of the 1P1 state is determined to be 1.60(5)ns by measuring the natural linewidth of the 1P1←1S0 transition. These results resolve significant discrepancies among previous measurements

Critical Loop Gases and the Worm Algorithm

The loop gas approach to lattice field theory provides an alternative, geometrical description in terms of fluctuating loops. Statistical ensembles of random loops can be efficiently generated by Monte Carlo simulations using the worm update algorithm. In this paper, concepts from percolation theory and the theory of self-avoiding random walks are used to describe estimators of physical observables that utilize the nature of the worm algorithm. The fractal structure of the random loops as well as their scaling properties are studied. To support this approach, the O(1) loop model, or high-temperature series expansion of the Ising model, is simulated on a honeycomb lattice, with its known exact results providing valuable benchmarks.Comment: 34 pages, 12 figures; v2: 2 figures and 1 table added; v3: typo's correcte

Responding to student diversity : tutor's manual

The handbook was conceived during a meeting in Malta in 2003 among an international group of teacher educators spanning from Sweden to Malta and Greece and to the U.S. The concept was then worked out as a Comenius 2.1 Project DTMp (Differentiated Teaching Module – primary) over three years from 2004 to 2007 (see Box 1, p. viii, and www.dtmp.org). The DTMp Project team consisted of an even wider and more diverse group coming from seven EU countries, namely Malta (Coordinator), Czech Republic, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, Sweden, and United Kingdom. The background of each partner varied as well: one from an inclusive education concern, one from differentiated teaching, two from issues of disability and one from issues of disaffected students, one from socio-emotional development concerns, and one each from the pedagogy of language and mathematics. We also listened to teachers from the seven countries who were trying to reach out to the diversity of their children in the classroom, and you will find the text peppered with the experiences they related to us. We felt that this diversity enriched our teamwork and our products.peer-reviewe

"Mehr Lehrende für eine mediengestützte Lehre qualifizieren.“ Interview mit Thomas Hofsäss

In dem Interview spricht der Prorektor für Bildung und Internationales über die mediengestützte Lehre im akademischen Weiterbildungsbereich. Er skizziert kurz die konzeptionellen Entwicklungen, welche sich durch die zunehmende Digitalisierung im Postgraduiertenstudium beobachten lassen, sowie die sich daraus ergebenden Konsequenzen.
