    The development and testing of a multiple-choice programme to teach systematic fault finding in electronic equipment. Fault finding and the repair of faults, in electronic equipment used by the Royal Navy, are presenting problems which have become more and 1nore difficult in recent years. This is due to two main factors; the first being that the increasing, complexity of equipment is producing a requirement for higher levels of training, and the second factor being the difficulties surrounding the recruiting and retention of men with high levels of education and training. Maintaining equipment in a ship at sea also presents special problems due to the measure of self-reliance which is necessitated by the ship being away from home ports for long periods. In an attempt to overcome these problems, an investigation was commissioned to examine new methods of fault finding. The aim was to discover a new generalised method of fault finding which could be applied to all electrical and electronic equipments, and to devise a training course which would instruct men in this new method, if it improved performance. Such a method was found, and on testing was discovered to work extremely well. Having found the method, investigation then took place as to the best way to disseminating this information. In order that training in the new method could take place in the field, without the necessity of bringing men back to training establishments, a teaching programme of the multiple choice style was written covering the fault finding method. This thesis covers the development and testing of the method of fault finding chosen, and the rigorous development and testing of the teaching programme. Both the method of finding, and the testing programme, have been accepted as standard for the electrical branch of the Royal Navy, the acceptance being based on the successful outcome of the investigation

    A lattice calculation of B -> K(*) form factors

    Full text link
    Lattice QCD can contribute to the search for new physics in b -> s decays by providing first-principle calculations of B -> K(*) form factors. Preliminary results are presented here which complement sum rule determinations by being done at large q^2 and which improve upon previous lattice calculations by working directly in the physical b sector on unquenched gauge field configurations.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, Proceedings of CKM2010, the 6th International Workshop on the CKM Unitarity Triangle, University of Warwick, UK, 6-10 September 201

    Heavy-Light Meson Semileptonic Decays with Staggered Light Quarks

    Get PDF
    We report on exploratory studies of heavy-light meson semileptonic decays using Asqtad light quarks, NRQCD heavy quarks and Symanzik improved glue on coarse quenched lattices. Oscillatory contributions to three-point correlators coming from the staggered light quarks are found to be handled well by Bayesian fitting methods. B meson decays to both the Goldstone pion and to one of the point-split non-Goldstone pions are investigated. One-loop perturbative matching of NRQCD/Asqtad heavy-light currents is incorporated.Comment: 3 pages, 3 postscript figures, Lattice2003(heavy
