Recent Results of non-accelarator-based neutrino experiments
Recent results of non-accelerator-based experiments, including those of
solar, atmospheric, and reactor neutrinos oscillations, neutrinoless
double-beta decays, and neutrino magnetic moments, are reviewed. Future
projects and their respective prospects are summarized.Comment: V.2, minor changes with one more reference added. Plenary talk given

Subbarrier fusion reactions with dissipative couplings
Using the random matrix model, we discuss the effect of couplings to
non-collective states on the penetrability of a one dimensional potential
barrier. We show that these non-collective excitations hinder the penetrability
and thus smear the barrier distribution at energies above the barrier, while
they do not affect significantly the penetrability at deep subbarrier energies.
The energy dependence of the Q-value distribution obtained with this model is
also discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. A talk given at the 10th international conference

Expeditionary warfare in the age of global terrorism: a critical assessment of Britain's war against Al Qaeda
The war against Al Qaeda and its allies may well become the defining conflict of our age. Certainly it is cited as evidence of a transformation of war that is sweeping away older modes of warfare. This paper seeks to explain the reasons for the failure of the military campaign so far, but looks at this debate from the perspective of the British rather than the American experience of the war on terror.
This paper was presented as part of Rethinking the Postcolonial in the Age of the War on Terror joint symposium, by the MnM Centre in conjunction with the UNESCO Chair in Transnational Diasporas and Reconciliation Studies, at the University of South Australia, on 16 and 17 September 2010. The aim of the symposium was to explore the postcolonial condition in the era of the \u27war on terror\u27 and to rethink postcolonialism in order to reformulate or reinforce its critical insights.
