Measuring strangeness matrix elements of the nucleon

Experiments are proposed to measure various strangeness matrix elements of the nucleon. Examples are electro- and neutrino- production of phi mesons and the difference between neutrino and antineutrino scattering from isospin zero targets, e.g., deuterons

Raman spectroscopy at simultaneous pressure and temperature: Phase relations and lattice dynamics of CaCo sub 3

Raman spectra of oriented single crystals of calcite were measured at simultaneous high pressures and temperatures up to 40 kbar and 350{degrees}C. The fluorescence frequency shift of Sm:YAG was utilized for accurate pressure determination at elevated temperature, which exhibits negligible temperature shift in this temperature range. With increasing pressure the calcite-CaCO{sub 3}(II) and CaCO{sub 3}(II)-CaCO{sub 3}(III) transformations are observed at 14.5 and 18.5 kbar, respectively, and CaCO{sub 3}(III) remains the stable phase beyond 40 kbar. At elevated temperature and pressure, the width of the CaCO{sub 3}(II) stability field decreases and, at temperatures greater than 200{degrees}C, CaCO{sub 3}(III) transforms to aragonite. The CaCO{sub 3}(III)-aragonite phase boundary is insensitive to pressure over the 20 to 40 kbar interval. Calcite-CaCO{sub 3}(II) phase transition is first order and reversible, the CaCO{sub 3}(II)-CaCO{sub 3}(III) transition exhibits kinetic irreversibility, and the CaCo{sub 3}(III)-aragonite transition is sluggish and irreversible. Lattice dynamical calculations along T to F direction in calcite indicate an unstable phonon mode. The atomic displacements associated with this mode are consistent with those required for a continuous, displacive calcite-CaCO{sub 3}(II) phase transition. 29 refs., 3 figs

"Physical education", "health and physical education", "physical literacy" and "health literacy": Global nomenclature confusion.

The title “physical education” (PE) is the traditional taxonomy used to represent the education discipline. Health and physical education (HPE) is regarded to be an all-encompassing health-dimensional title that has been recently embraced by various education systems around the world. Hence, it can be argued that PE and HPE are often used interchangeably by educationalists, portraying a similar meaning and understanding. This can be regarded as internationally confusing, as historically PE and HPE have represented different and at times paradoxical discourses and ideologies. Amongst the ambiguity of which title to use, PE or HPE, new terms of branding such as “physical literacy” and “health literacy” have re/emerged. The purpose of this interpretivist study is to identify if associated terms used for the original PE label are a help or hindrance to practitioners? Participants were asked an open-ended question relating to PE nomenclatures. The data gathered were analysed and findings confirmed that practitioner confusion does exist. It is suggested that children are first and foremost “physically educated”; therefore a strong, clear and comprehensive grounding in quality PE is essential for teachers and students

A proposal to study inelastic diffractive processes by observing coherent production of multipion final states from He nuclei

We propose to study the diffraction dissociation of pions into multi-pion final states, by obtaining the missing mass spectra from the reaction: {pi}{sup -} + He {yields} n{pi}{sup -} + (n - 1){pi}{sup +} + He. The missing mass is calculated from a measurement of the he recoil which is observed in a streamer chamber. In this first exploratory experiment we propose to count the outgoing fast particles, and to measure in a very crude fashion their momenta

The GLAST Background Model

In order to estimate the ability of the GLAST/LAT to reject unwanted background of charged particles, optimize the on-board processing, size the required telemetry and optimize the GLAST orbit, we developed a detailed model of the background particles that would affect the LAT. In addition to the well-known components of the cosmic radiation, we included splash and reentrant components of protons, electrons (e+ and e-) from 10 MeV and beyond as well as the albedo gamma rays produced by cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere. We made estimates of the irreducible background components produced by positrons and hadrons interacting in the multilayered micrometeorite shield and spacecraft surrounding the LAT and note that because the orbital debris has increased, the shielding required and hence the background are larger than were present in EGRET. Improvements to the model are currently being made to include the east-west effect
