Discussing the Relationship Between Venue and Learning in the Education of Health Professionals

Objectives: To discuss the relationship between the education of health professionals and the off-campus venues where their practicums or internships are served, in order to modify and implement innovations in the curriculum to meet identified needs

Hunting for asymptotia at LHC

We discuss whether the behaviour of some hadronic quantities, such as the total cross-section, the ratio of the elastic to the total cross-section, are presently exhibiting the asymptotic behaviour expected at very large energies. We find phenomenological evidence that at LHC7 there is still space for further evolution.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, talk given by G.

An Infinite Number of Closed FLRW Universes for Any Value of the Spatial Curvature

The Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological models are based on the assumptions of large-scale homogeneity and isotropy of the distribution of matter and energy. They are usually taken to have spatial sections that are simply connected; they have finite volume in the positive curvature case, and infinite volume in the null and negative curvature ones. I want to call the attention to the existence of an infinite number of models, which are based on these same metrics, but have compact, finite volume, multiply connected spatial sections. Some observational implications are briefly mentioned.Comment: 4 pages.

Simposio Jayme Tiomno (Brasilia, DF, Brazil, October 27-28, 2011). In version 2: a few minor corrections; two new references added.
