What we cannot learn from analogue experiments

Animal models of psychogenic cardiovascular disorders: what we can learn from them and what we cannot.

1. Epidemiological and clinical studies from the past 50 years provide unequivocal evidence for a close association and causative links between psychological stresses and cardiovascular dysfunction in humans. Not surprisingly, numerous animal experiments have been undertaken in an attempt to clarify underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The present review focuses on animal models that provi...

Merger Policy: What can we learn from experiments?

This paper surveys experimental literature relating to mergers. We put particular emphasis on discussing whether this literature addresses the issues that are relevant for competition policy. We also include some suggestions as to how the fit between the experiments and the requirements of competition policy research might be improved. ––––––––––––––––––––– Affiliations: *Lorenz Götte, Institut...

WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM (e,e ′ p) EXPERIMENTS

What can we learn from neutrinoless double beta decay experiments?

We assess how well next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay and normal neutrino beta decay experiments can answer four fundamental questions. ~1! If neutrinoless double beta decay searches do not detect a signal, and if the spectrum is known to be inverted hierarchy, can we conclude that neutrinos are Dirac particles? ~2! If neutrinoless double beta decay searches are negative and a next-...

What can we learn from Accretion Disc Eclipse Mapping experiments?

The accretion disc eclipse mapping method is an astrotomographic inversion technique that makes use of the information contained in eclipse light curves to probe the structure, the spectrum and the time evolution of accretion discs in cataclysmic variables. This paper presents examples of eclipse mapping results that have been key to improve our understanding of accretion physics.
