The question of how to make higher education more inclusive has been a central concern in South Africa and elsewhere over the past two decades. However, in South Africa there remains a disjuncture between policy aimed at promoting inclusivity and the experiences of students and staff in the higher education sector. In this article, the relationship between equity of access and equity of outcome...

Possible interference phenomena between parity doublets are discussed. In particular, the decay particle distributions of Z+ and A' produced in E +p capture and in x +p collision are analyzed. These distributions may have interference terms with odd parity. Experimental detection of such terms would constitute an unambiguous proof of the existence of parity doublets. It is further pointed out t...

Constraints for stop production in R-parity violating supersymmetry at Tevatron have been evaluated using the D0 limits for first generation leptoquarks. Such limits have been converted in constraints for the λ′131 R-parity violating coupling as a function of the stop mass for different Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) scenarios and compared with Atomic Parity Violation and HERA res...

The n-variable PARITY function is computable (by a well-known recursive construction) by AC0 formulas of depth d+ 1 and leafsize n·2dn . These formulas are seen to possess a certain symmetry: they are syntactically invariant under the subspace P of even-weight elements in {0, 1}, which acts (as a group) on formulas by toggling negations on input literals. In this paper, we prove a 2d(n−1) lower...

background: mammographic density has been recognized as a risk factor for breast cancer,  but  the  association between  potential  effective factors and  mammographic density has not been fully studied in asian women. we conducted a study to investigate the association of mammographic breast   density with several menstrual and reproductive characteristics. m ethods: screening  mammography  wa...
