Non-perturbative Renormalisation with Domain Wall Fermions

We present results from a study of the renormalisation of both quark bilinear and four-quark operators for the domain wall fermion action, using the non-perturbative renormalisation technique of the Rome-Southampton group. These results are from a quenched simulation, on a 16^3 x 32 lattice, with beta=6.0 and L_s=16.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, Lattice 2000 (Improvement and Renormalisation), RBC collaboration, Typos correcte

Non-Perturbative Renormalisation using Domain Wall Fermions

The viability of the Non-Perturbative Renormalisation (NPR) method of the Rome/Southampton group is studied, for the first time, in the context of domain wall fermions. The procedure is used to extract the renormalisation coefficients of the various quark bilinears, as well as the four-fermion operators relevant to the $\Delta S=2$ effective Hamiltonian. The renormalisation of the $\Delta S=1$ Hamiltonian is also discussed.Comment: LATTICE99(Improvement and Renormalization),3 pages, LaTeX2e; minor typos correcte

Modeling and Control of the Automated Radiator Inspection Device

Many of the operations performed at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) are dangerous and repetitive tasks which make them ideal candidates for robotic applications. For one specific application, KSC is currently in the process of designing and constructing a robot called the Automated Radiator Inspection Device (ARID), to inspect the radiator panels on the orbiter. The following aspects of the ARID project are discussed: modeling of the ARID; design of control algorithms; and nonlinear based simulation of the ARID. Recommendations to assist KSC personnel in the successful completion of the ARID project are given

Physics in 2006

Any consideration of future physics facilities must be made in the context of the Tevatron and the LHC. I discuss some examples of physics results which could emerge from these machines and the resulting questions which would remain for a high energy $e^+e^-$ collider. Particular attention is paid to the electroweak symmetry breaking sector. If a light Higgs boson exists, it will be observed at the LHC and the role of any later accelerator will be to map out the Higg's boson mass and couplings and then determine the space of possible models. If there is no light Higgs boson, then some effects of a strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector will be observed at the LHC and I discuss the role of a high energy linear collider in exploring this scenario.Comment: Invited talk given at Workshop on Studies on Colliders and Collider Physics at the Highest Energies: Muon Colliders at 10 TeV to 100 TeV, Montauk, New York, Sept. 27- Oct. 1, 199

Reframing social exclusion from science communication: Moving away from 'barriers' towards a more complex perspective

Science communication is an increasingly important field of activity,research and policy. It should not be assumed however, that science communication practices provide equitable and empowering opportunities for everyone. Social exclusion, inclusion and equity are key challenges for practitioners, researchers, policy makers and funders involved with science communication. In this com-mentary I reflect on the limitations of the ‘barriers approach to understandingsocial inclusion and exclusion from science communication and argue instead that a more complex perspective is needed. I conclude that placing equity at theheart of science communication is crucial for developing more inclusive sciencecommunication practice
