Interpreting iron studies

Interpreting iron studies.

A 63 year old woman visits her doctor with a three month history of fatigue and generalised joint pains. Her medical history is unremarkable and she reports no recent stress, infection, or weight loss. There are no abnormalities on clinical examination. Haemoglobin, creatinine, and electrolytes, liver enzymes, glucose, inflammatory markers, and thyroid function tests are normal. Ferritin, iron,...

Studies of highly charged iron ions using electron beam ion traps for interpreting astrophysical spectra

For over a decade, the x-ray astrophysics community has enjoyed a fruitful epoch of discovery largely as a result of the successful launch and operation of the high resolution, high sensitivity spectrometers on board the Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku x-ray observatories. With the launch of the x-ray calorimeter spectrometer on the Astro-H x-ray observatory in 2014, the diagnostic power of high...

Interpreting Gentrification Case Studies: A Perspective

Efficiency versus Effectiveness: Interpreting Education Production Studies

To gain analytical insight into whether input resources matter in public education, a Becker/Peltzman/Stigler model of the determination of local educational budgets and outputs by political authorities is constructed. The model results are consistent with empirical findings that resources don’t matter, even when all schools are efficient, if errors in measurement and specification occur. When ...

A Software Studies Approach to Interpreting Passage

The following paper argues for the value of critically analyzing game code, demonstrating two potential methodologies. These draw from literary theory and software studies to reach hermeneutic readings of procedures. We use Jason Rohrer’s Passage as a case study to demonstrate these methods. Passage is one of the most frequently studied, discussed and taught works in game studies. However, many...
