The Obama administration's education department has embraced merit pay; the federal Teacher Incentive Fund, which finances experimental merit-pay programs across the country, rose from $97 million to $400 million this year.
Nonetheless, the city of Denver, Colorado, has just introduced an experimental "merit pay" system with the reluctant co-operation of teachers' unions (see article).In Britain, however, the forces of conservatism are promising fierce resistance.
What likely truly underlies Del Grosso's opposition to this year's application is the backlash he experienced, manifested by a slim reelection margin, after supporting experimental merit pay programs and other changes teacher unions leaders typically oppose.
The promising experimental results merit ZD6474 for further evaluation in the treatment of malignant glioma.
Results of an experimental evaluation demonstrate merits and current limitations of the proposed force-reflecting telepresence approach.
Further, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the available experimental data, the merits of the practical application of the Domínguez's method were evaluated.
Thanking PD Dr. Wolfgang Ahlf on the occasion of his retirement for his outstanding experimental and conceptual merits in the field of sediment ecotoxicology and his personal 65th anniversary this article will present a laudation.
In order to thank Prof. Dr. Hans-Toni Ratte on the occasion of his retirement for his outstanding experimental and modelling merits in the field of ecotoxicology and ecology and his personal 65th anniversary on November 25th this article will present a laudation.
It is conceivable and merits experimental investigation that the peripheral-synaptic centrosome localization results in spatially mixed signaling, in which case its representation in the cell population will be important for the overall degree of signal segregation.
For these reasons, each of the experimental approaches has merits and demerits.
