Tom Hunter in conversation with Robert Elms to discuss the notion of 'Home' in relation to location and means of representation in photography and art. The discussion spans Hunter's work during the past twenty years, from his graduation from the London College of Printing in 1994 to the present day, focusing on his new book 'Le Crowbar' and the accompanying exhibition 'Life in the Road', which was shown in the London College of Communication Upper Street Gallery from February 2014

Survey of the Demands of End Users in Europe for Organic Market Data

Few European countries produce complete coverage of important market data, standardization is missing, and data are seldom comparable within one country over time and between countries. Furthermore, detailed information on specific commodities is missing. Many different data collection methods are currently used and the variety of agencies collecting data in the various European countries mean that gaining a European level overview of the quality of existing data is difficult. As part of the EU research project “OrganicDataNetwork”, a survey was carried out in 2012 to identify the needs and demands of end users of organic market data, and to find areas of information asymmetry. A further goal of the survey was to undertake an appraisal of the quality of the existing available data that is used. This contribution presents some of the highlights of the results, which will be published in full during 2013

Quantum Zeno effect in the decay onto an unstable level

Under certain assumptions it is shown that the decay of level 2 of a three-level system onto level 1 is slowed down because of the further decay of level 1 onto level 0. It is argued that this phenomenon may be interpreted as a consequence of the quantum Zeno effect. The reason why this may be possible is that the second decay (or accompanying photon radiation) may be considered as a sign of the transition 2 -> 1 so that during the first transition the system is under continuous observation.Comment: 9 pages, LATE
