IN SEARCH OF WORK/LIFE BALANCE: TRAINEE PERSPECTIVES ON PART-TIME OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY SPECIALIST TRAINING

In search of work/life balance: trainee perspectives on part-time obstetrics and gynaecology specialist training

Abstract Background Part-time training (PTT) is accessed by approximately 10% of Australian obstetrics and gynaecology trainees, a small but increasing minority which reflects the growing demand for improved work/life balance amongst the Australian medical workforce.This survey reports the attitudes and experiences of both full-time and part-time t

Observation of a single protein by ultrafast X-ray diffraction

Abstract The idea of using ultrashort X-ray pulses to obtain images of single proteins frozen in time has fascinated and inspired many.It was one of the arguments for building X-ray free-electron lasers.According to theory, the extremely intense pulses provide sufficient signal to dispense with using crystals as an amplifier, and the ultrashort pul

Balanced labellings of affine permutations

133x4 We study the $ extit{diagrams}$ of affine permutations and their $ extit{balanced}$ labellings.As in the finite case, which was investigated by Fomin, Greene, Reiner, and Shimozono, the balanced labellings give a natural encoding of reduced decompositions of affine permutations.In fact, we show that the sum of weight monomials of the $ extit{
