Hot issues on the M&E agenda
This report summarises the discussions and presentations of the Expert Seminar ‘Hot Issues on the M&E Agenda’, which took place in Wageningen on March 23, 2012. The Expert Seminar was organised by the Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation in collaboration with Learning by Design and Context, international cooperation. The report describes the hot issues on the M&E agenda, divided into a global top 10 of hot issues, the politics of evaluation, the battle field of rigour, and the future of evaluative practice
Developmental evaluation : applying complexity concepts to enhance innovation and use
This report summarises the discussions and presentations of the Expert Seminar ‘Developmental Evaluation’, which took place in Wageningen on March 22, 2012. The Expert Seminar was organised by the Wageningen UR Centre for Development Innovation in collaboration with Learning by Design and Context, international cooperation
Conference Report: Measuring what matters in a ‘post-truth’ society : A conference on how to measure what matters, and use what matters, in order to change what should matter?
This report presents the key highlights and contributions from the conference ‘Measuring what matters in a ‘post-truth’ society’. This conference was held on the 6th of April 2017 in Wageningen, the Netherlands. This conference was the 10th annual ‘M&E on the Cutting Edge’ conference. These events are organised by Wageningen University & Research, Wageningen Centre for Development Innovation (CDI) in collaboration with partners, in this case Oxfam GB. The conference focused on understanding how we measure what matters, and use what matters, to change what should matter, in an era of post-truth, whilst aiming towards social inclusion and global development
Improving the Use of Monitoring & Evaluation Processes and Findings : Conference report
This report summarises discussions and presentations of the Conference ‘Improving the Use of Monitoring & Evaluation Processes and Findings’, which took place on March 20 and 21, 2014. This conference is part of our series of yearly ‘M&E on the cutting edge’ events. This conference particularly looked at under what conditions the use of M&E processes and findings can be improved.

Endogenous annexin A1 is a novel protective determinant in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in mice
Macrophage-derived AnxA1 plays a functional role in modulating hepatic inflammation and fibrogenesis during NASH progression, suggesting the possible use of AnxA1 analogs for therapeutic control of this disease
Double Exchange Alone Does Not Explain the Resistivity of
The system with has
traditionally been modelled with a ``double exchange'' Hamiltonian, in which it
is assumed that the only relevant physics is the tendency of carrier hopping to
line up neighboring spins. We present a solution of the double exchange model,
show it is incompatible with many aspects of the resistivity data, and propose
that a strong electron-phonon interaction arising from a Jahn-Teller splitting
of the outer Mn d-level plays a crucial role.Comment: Figure available via concentional mail. Contact

Topological Phase Diagram of a Two-Subband Electron System
We present a phase diagram for a two-dimensional electron system with two
populated subbands. Using a gated GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum well, we have
mapped out the phases of various quantum Hall states in the density-magnetic
filed plane. The experimental phase diagram shows a very different topology
from the conventional Landau fan diagram. We find regions of negative
differential Hall resistance which are interpreted as preliminary evidence of
the long sought reentrant quantum Hall transitions. We discuss the origins of
the anomalous topology and the negative differential Hall resistance in terms
of the Landau level and subband mixing.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Franck-Condon-Broadened Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectra Predicted in LaMnO3
The sudden photohole of least energy created in the photoemission process is
a vibrationally excited state of a small polaron. Therefore the photoemission
spectrum in LaMnO3 is predicted to have multiple Franck-Condon vibrational
sidebands. This generates an intrinsic line broadening approximately 0.5 eV.
The photoemission spectral function has two peaks whose central energies
disperse with band width approximately 1.2 eV. Signatures of these phenomena
are predicted to appear in angle-resolved photoemission spectra.Comment: Revtex file 4 pages and 3 figure
