New Diffraction Results from the Tevatron

We present new results from studies on diffractive dijet production and exclusive production of dijet and diphoton obtained by the CDF Collaboration in proton-antiproton collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron.Comment: 4 pages, To be submitted to the proceedings of the 41st Rencontres de Moriond - QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions, La Thuile, Italy, 18-25 March 200

Systemwide Livestock Research Programme A Proposal Submitted to TAC

Original proposal to set up a System Wide Livestock Research Programm

3D Printing Provides a Precise Approach in the Treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot, Pulmonary Atresia with Major Aortopulmonary Collateral Arteries.

Patients with tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, and multiple aortopulmonary collateral arteries (Tet PA MAPCAs) have a wide spectrum of anatomy and disease severity. Management of these patients can be challenging and often require multiple high-risk surgical and interventional catheterization procedures. These interventions are made challenging by complex anatomy that require the proceduralist to mentally reconstruct three-dimensional anatomic relationships from two-dimensional images. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging medical technology that provides added benefits in the management of patients with Tet PA MAPCAs. When used in combination with current diagnostic modalities and procedures, 3D printing provides a precise approach to the management of these challenging, high-risk patients. Specifically, 3D printing enables detailed surgical and interventional planning prior to the procedure, which may improve procedural outcomes, decrease complications, and reduce procedure-related radiation dose and contrast load

Systemwide Livestock Research Programme: A Proposal Submitted to TAC

One of four documents submitted to the CGIAR at ICW94 by the Rockefeller Foundation, as convener of the ILRI Strategic Planning Task Force. This one contains the proposed work plan and budget for a Systemwide Livestock Research Program 1994-1998. It was considered by TAC with other systemwide proposals in August 1994, at a special meeting for which no report is available, with results reported in TAC's Review of Proposals for Systemwide and Ecoregional Initiatives, September 1994. The program was further discussed at TAC 65 in October 1994.Agenda document TAC 65, and CGIAR International Centers Week, October 1994

An Indicative Medium Term Plan for ILRI

One of four documents submitted to the CGIAR at ICW94 by the Rockefeller Foundation, as convener of the ILRI Strategic Planning Task Force. This document sets out the preliminary objectives, strategies, and resource requirements of ILRI's first four years of operations. Earlier versions were shared with TAC, directors of other centers, a broad range of administrators and experts, members of an ILRI Implementing Advisory Group, and revisions made in the light of comments. The plan was considered "indicative" pending more interaction with other centers and national systems and consideration by the Director General and Board of ILRI following the formal opening of the new center in January 1995.The main headings were: animal health, animal genetics, integrated production systems, ecoregional research in mixed livestock production systems (in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and West Asia and North Africa), socioeconomics and livestock policy, institution building and technology transfer, management, administration and operations.Agenda document at TAC 64 and CGIAR International Centers Week, October 1994
