Leptoquark Production and Identification at High Energy Lepton Colliders

Leptoquarks can be produced in substantial numbers for masses very close to the collider centre of mass energy in $e^+e^-$, $e\gamma$, and $\mu^+\mu^-$ collisions due to the quark content of the photon resulting in equivalently high discovery limits. Using polarization asymmetries in an $e\gamma$ collider the ten different types of leptoquarks listed by Buchm\"uller, R\"uckl and Wyler can be distinquished from one another for leptoquark masses essentially up to the kinematic limit. Thus, if a leptoquark were discovered, an $e\gamma$ collider could play a crucial role in determining its origins.Comment: LaTex file uses aipproc.sty, epsfig, and rotating. 9 pages with 8 postscript figures.

The Academic Versus Athletic Experience for Intercollegiate Football Athletes

The continued focus on the collegiate careers of student athletes continues its presence within the community of higher education As this focus has been historically centered on academic performance we are beginning to see a growing concern for the overall experience obtained in a higher education setting especially concerning athletes participating in the sport of football Research in student athlete experiences has demonstrated that participation in athletics enhances learning character development leadership skills social self-esteem and motivation Astin 1993 Childs 1987 Hirko 2009 Miracle Rees 1994 Pascarella Smart 1991 Shulman and Bowen 2002 While this experience has traditionally been examined through a comparative lens between traditional non-athlete students and the student athlete population the athlete experience needs to be further investigated through a qualitative lens to assess the true phenomenological environmen

College Football Players: The New Nontraditional Student

The focus on the collegiate careers of student athletes continues to grow within the community of higher education. As the focus has been centered on academic performance, a growing concern is evolving for the overall experience student athletes obtain in a higher education setting. As the focus on college experience gains momentum, higher education professionals must investigate why traditional stereotypes maintain their strength and the appropriateness of the expectations placed upon student athletes. The purpose of the study is to gain understanding and insight into the relationship between athletics and academics for Division I football players in higher education. To examine this purpose, the researcher asks: What is the meaning of the relationship between intercollegiate athletics and academics for football student athletes in higher education? To answer the research questions, the researcher selected a phenomenological qualitative method to gain an essence of the student athlete experience in higher education. Results indicate that the college experience for student athletes differs from that of the general student population. The thematic development of this study indicates the student athlete reality differs across the normative, regulative and cultural-cognitive aspects of the institution and argues the appropriateness of viewing intercollegiate football athletes as traditional undergraduate students

An unusual case of intertrigo in an adult caused by purely cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis

We report a case of persistent intertrigo in an adult, eventually diagnosed as cutaneous Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). It is known that LCH has a predilection for intertriginous areas, however purely cutaneous disease as in our case, is uncommon and usually other systems are affected. Following the report, literature of similar cases is reviewed to determine possible outcomes and to decide on the best possible treatment options.peer-reviewe
