Effect of isospin dependence of cross section on symmetric and neutron rich systems

We aim to explore the effect of isospin dependence of cross section on symmetric and neutron rich system. We also aim to explore whether the analysis is affacted if one discusses in terms of "$E_{bal}$ as a function of N/Z or N/A" of the system.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figs, DAE BRNS Symposium on Nuclear Physics Dec 26-30, (2011), Visakhapatnam A.P.

Mass dependence of balance energy for different N/Z ratio

We present the study for the mass dependence of E$_{bal}$ for various N/Z ratios covering pure symmetric systems to highly neutron-rich ones.Comment: 2 pages, 2 figs, DAE BRNS Symposium on Nuclear Physics Dec 26-30, (2011), Visakhapatnam A.P. INDI

Role of asymmetry of the reaction and momentum dependent interactions on the balance energy for neutron rich nuclei

We present a systematic study of disappearance of flow i.e. balance energy $E_{bal}$ for an isotopic series of Ca with N/Z varying from 1 to 2 for different density dependences of symmetry energies. We also extend this study for asymmetric reactions having radioactive projectile and stable target.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figs, DAE BRNS Symposium on Nuclear Physics Dec 26-30, (2011), Visakhapatnam A.P.

Effect of isospin degree of freedom on the counterbalancing of collective transverse in-plane flow

Here we aim to understand the effect of isospin dependence of cross section and Coulomb repulsion on the counterbalancing of collective flowComment: 3 pages, 2 figs, DAE BRNS Symposium on Nuclear Physics Dec 26-30, (2011), Visakhapatnam A.P. INDI

Observable to explore high density behaviour of symmetry energy

We aim to see the sensitivity of collective transverse in-plane flow to symmetry energy at low as well as high densities and also to see the effect of different density dependencies of symmetry energy on the same.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figs, DAE BRNS Symposium on Nuclear Physics Dec 26-30, (2011), Visakhapatnam A.P.

Why are there still so few men within Early Years in primary schools: views from male trainee teachers and male leaders?

One of the challenges facing the Early Years (EY) sector is how to encourage more male practitioners to counterbalance a largely feminised workforce. Using case studies of male trainees at different stages of their primary undergraduate Initial Teacher Training course at one university, we attempt to consider data why there is underrepresentation of men within the leadership strata in EY settings. Questionnaires and interviews were conducted with the male sample groups and male leaders in primary schools to gain an overview regarding gender stereotyping. Our findings suggest that male trainees enjoy working in the EY sector, but they need mentoring by strong leaders to help them overcome the perceived contextual barriers of male stereotypes in that setting. In conclusion, we consider some of these barriers of stereotypes, attitudes, values, beliefs existing and the actions needed in addressing such stereotypes if a long-lasting change is to happen
