We evaluate theoretical uncertainties to the method of Pais and Treiman to measure the ππ phase shifts in Ke4 decays. We find that they are very small, below 1%.

The European Economic Community (EEC) has made slow progress towards achieving a unified position on the labelling of foods with nutrition information. The Nutrition Labelling Rules Directive (90/496/EEC) was adopted in September 1990, and will take 5 years to become fully implemented. Nutrition labelling will remain voluntary unless a nutrition claim is made, when detailed declarations must be...

Elastic pion–pion and pion–nucleon scattering are reviewed in the context of chiral perturbation theory. Theoretical results from systematic low–energy expansions to O(p) for ππ and to O(p) for πN are compared with experimental data. Possible future developments are outlined. Talk given at the Workshop on Chiral Dynamics 1997 Mainz, Germany, Sept. 1 5, 1997 To appear in the Proceedings * Work s...

Over two thousand books and articles make a very good point: Charles de Gaulle based his domestic and foreign policies on a fundamental, unchanging vision of France’s geopolitical position in the world. Andrew Moravcsik summarily dismisses this literature for its “tendency to engage in imaginative biographical reconstruction” and argues instead that “the overwhelming preponderance of direct evi...

Few Londoners could have missed the headline on the front of the Evening Standard on 10 July 2017: “Cancer patients in Brexit scare.” The headline arose from a warning by the Royal College of Radiologists that the UK’s proposed withdrawal from Euratom (the European Atomic Energy Community) threatened the supply of some widely used medical radioisotopes. Government ministers dismissed it, descri...
