Rotational sensitivity of the "G-Pisa" gyrolaser
, 2010 G-Pisa is an experiment investigating the possibility to operate a high sensitivity laser gyroscope with area less than $1 \rm m^2$ for improving the performances of the mirrors suspensions of the gravitational wave antenna Virgo. The experimental set-up

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Fear of failure is damaging in a host of ways yet is rife in many schools. Drawing on self‐worth theory, we explore whether fear of academic failure is higher in education systems with features that increase students' experiences of competition. To do this, we compare two very different education systems: England, where, for instance, national

, 2013 In the United States, people generally view education through the lens of their own children and their own schools. Many Americans think a serious need for better educational performance is largely restricted to low-income children and families -- and ...

The spin content of the proton in quenched QCD
, 1994 We present preliminary results on the proton spin structure function at zero momentum, in the quenched approximation. Our calculation makes use of a nonperturbative means of determining the multiplicative renormalization of the topological charge density.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Recruiting and retaining school leaders is a challenge in many systems worldwide. Previous research has identified three distinct ways in which succession planning can be conceptualised and approached: a ‘pipeline’ approach seeks to match supply and demand for the posts that need filling; a ‘pool’ strategy involves proactively identifying and ...

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Education policy changes are believed to influence teachers' continuing professional learning (CPL) needs, but there is limited empirical evidence to support these claims. This lack of deep understanding has significant practical implications. This study used a new circular conceptual framework to analyse teachers' CPL needs. Leveraging public
