Structure Function Measurements and Kinematic Reconstruction at HERA
The procedure used for structure function measurements at HERA is briefly
described and related to the properties of kinematic reconstruction. The
reconstruction methods of the inclusive deep inelastic scattering variables are
reviewed and their sensitivity to the energy and angle miscalibrations are
discussed in detail. New prescriptions are introduced and related to the
standard methods in order to optimize the F_2 structure function measurement
over the widest kinematic range, both in the low x, low Q^2 and in the high x,
high Q^2 regions. The prospects for the future high Q^2 studies are briefly
discussed.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures. Submitted to N.I.
Organic broilers in floorless pens on pasture
This thesis investigates different aspects of rearing broilers organically in floorless pens on pasture. The birds and pens were moved daily to fresh pasture. The interdisciplinary studies comprise the birds' growth performance and carcass quality, health, behaviour, leg condition and the birdsâ effect on pasture. In the final study, on-farm diets were tested in a feeding experiment indoors. The data are based on four experiments carried out during 2000 to 2003. In 2000 and 2002, restricted-fed conventional broilers (ROSS 208) were reared in floorless pens on pasture and in control groups outdoors on straw. In 2001, two genotypes, ROSS 208 and the slow-growing ISA 657 were reared on three ground types, pasture, outdoors on straw and indoors on wood shavings with either an ad libitum or restricted feeding level. In 2003, a feeding experiment with slow-growing broilers fed on-farm diets in a choice feeding system was conducted indoors. Most birds were reared to 12 weeks of age, but ad libitum-fed ROSS birds were reared to 6 weeks. The experimental phase was from ca. 3 weeks to slaughter. The experiments indicate that under the given conditions - access to pasture does not offer sufficient protein and metabolizable energy to allow considerable feed savings in the farm enterprise (Paper I) - moving the floorless pens daily provides favourable conditions to prevent infections with Campylobacter and Eimeria in outdoor broilers (Paper II) - access to pasture as such appears to play no major role for the broilers' physical activity (Paper III) or leg condition (Paper IV) - broiler chickens on pasture can sustain white clover in a mixed grass/white clover pasture (Paper V) - with access to high-quality protein during the first three weeks there is a good potential to produce organic broiler meat with feed produced on-farm in northwestern Europe (Paper VI)
Top Pair Production cross-section at the Tevatron
An overview of latest top quark pair production cross-sections measured at
the Tevatron is given. These measurements have been carried out in the
dilepton, lepton+jets and all-jets channels with an integrated luminosity of
about 1fb-1. The measurements are consistent with NNLO calculations.Comment: Proceedings of the IVIIth Rencontres de Moriond - QCD and High Energy

Fearless Friday: Emma Murphy
Emma Murphy is truly fearless for her persistence and strength in working to change attitudes and stereotypes towards people with learning disabilities both on campus and in the wider community. This semester, Emma started a new club on campus called Great ADDitudes, which aims to raise awareness about ADD/ADHD and provide support for students who feel alone due to their own learning challenges. At 11, she was diagnosed and has wanted to start a club for students with learning disabilities ever since. [excerpt
Fearless Friday: Fergan Imbert
This week, SURGE is showcasing the fabulous Fergan Imbert â16 for Fearless Friday!
Fergan is a senior at Gettysburg studying Biology with a pre-med concentration.
Fergan and his bright smile can be found all over campus. Heâs currently the residence coordinator for Patrick Hall and the new senior admissions intern for the admissions office. He also works in the campus bookstore, is part of the senior class gift committee, and shows off his dance skills through B.O.M.B. squad. [excerpt
Fearless Friday: Justina Molokwu
Justina Molokwu â17 has been fearlessly involved on campus in her first two years at Gettysburg contributing to the Collegeâs goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion. A Psychology and Organization and Management Studies double major and a writing minor, the list of Molokwuâs extracurricular involvement is impressive: Diaspora House house leader, Diversity Peer Educator, Vice President of GASA, and Career Development Liaison for BSU. In addition, she works at the Den, with Residence Life, for the Psychology Department, with the Womenâs Center, and is a member of the Gettysburg Cheerleading squad. [excerpt
Fearless Friday: Jennifer McCary
As we conclude Diversity Peer Educators Week, we honor Jennifer McCary, the fearless advisor. In addition to her roles with DPE, she is the Assistant Dean of College Life and Director of Student Rights and Responsibilities as well as the Director of the Womenâs Center. The Diversity Peer Educators, or DPEs, are a group of students dedicated to facilitating conversations among the student body about various issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. [excerpt
Fearless: Maihan Wali
Maihan Wali describes herself as âone of those kids that always wanted to help.â
So when she noticed that many of her peers in her class struggled with reading and writing, she started a peer to peer literacy program with the help of her sister and a few friends. She was only 8 years old. [excerpt
