Troubling Vulnerability: Designing with LGBT Young People's Ambivalence Towards Hate Crime Reporting
HCI is increasingly working with ?vulnerable? people yet there is a danger that the label of vulnerability can alienate and stigmatize the people such work aims to support. We report our study investigating the application of interaction design to increase rates of hate crime reporting amongst Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender young people. During design-led workshops participants expressed ambivalence towards reporting. While recognizing their exposure to hate crime they simultaneously rejected ascription as victim as implied in the act of reporting. We used visual communication design to depict the young people?s ambivalent identities and contribute insights on how these fail and succeed to account for the intersectional, fluid and emergent nature of LGBT identities through the design research process. We argue that by producing ambiguous designed texts, alongside conventional qualitative data, we ?trouble? our design research narratives as a tactic to disrupt static and reductive understandings of vulnerability within HCI
Archaeology unearthing the invisible people: European women and children and Aboriginal people at South Australian shore-based whaling stations
Archaeological fieldwork in South Australia (the Archaeology of Whaling in South Australia or AWSA project) under the direction of Mark Staniforth, commenced in April 1997, involving the recording and subsequently the excavation of whaling station sites on the Eyre Peninsula, Kangaroo Island, and at Cape Jervis. The aim of this research is to investigate the activities of whalers in South Australia, especially those involved in whaling activity who have been previously neglected, namely women, children and Indigenous peoples. Funding of more than $40,000 for this project and the development of a website has come from a Flinders University URB establishment grant, the Ian Potter Foundation, the Australian National Center for Excellence in Maritime Archaeology (WA Maritime Museum) and a Small ARC grant
Time Dependent Clustering Analysis of the Second BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog
A time dependent two-point correlation-function analysis of the BATSE 2B
catalog finds no evidence of burst repetition. As part of this analysis, we
discuss the effects of sky exposure on the observability of burst repetition
and present the equation describing the signature of burst repetition in the
data. For a model of all burst repetition from a source occurring in less than
five days we derive upper limits on the number of bursts in the catalog from
repeaters and model-dependent upper limits on the fraction of burst sources
that produce multiple outbursts.Comment: To appear in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, uuencoded compressed

Entangled Wavefunctions from Classical Oscillator Amplitudes
In the first days of quantum mechanics Dirac pointed out an analogy between
the time-dependent coefficients of an expansion of the Schr\"odinger equation
and the classical position and momentum variables solving Hamilton's equations.
Here it is shown that the analogy can be made an equivalence in that, in
principle, systems of classical oscillators can be constructed whose position
and momenta variables form time-dependent amplitudes which are identical to the
complex quantum amplitudes of the coupled wavefunction of an N-level quantum
system with real coupling matrix elements. Hence classical motion can reproduce
quantum coherence.Comment: extended versio
