Photon Structure, as seen at HERA
At HERA, the electron-proton collider at DESY, Hamburg, the large flux of
almost on-shell photons accompanying the lepton beam is being used to shed new
light on the structure of the photon. Recent results are reviewed and
discussed, with emphasis on those aspects of the photon's nature which should
be understandable using perturbative QCD.Comment: 20 pages, latex, 10 figures appended as uuencoded file. Full

The CEDAR Project
We describe the plans and objectives of the CEDAR project (Combined e-Science
Data Analysis Resource for High Energy Physics) newly funded by the PPARC
e-Science programme in the UK. CEDAR will combine the strengths of the well
established and widely used HEPDATA database of HEP data and the innovative
JetWeb data/Monte Carlo comparison facility, built on the HZTOOL package, and
will exploit developing grid technology. The current status and future plans of
both of these individual sub-projects within the CEDAR framework are described,
showing how they will cohesively provide (a) an extensive archive of Reaction
Data, (b) validation and tuning of Monte Carlo programs against these reaction
data sets, and (c) a validated code repository for a wide range of HEP code
such as parton distribution functions and other calculation codes used by
particle physicists. Once established it is envisaged CEDAR will become an
important Grid tool used by LHC experimentalists in their analyses and may well
serve as a model in other branches of science where there is a need to compare
data and complex simulations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 postscript figures, uses CHEP2004.cls. Presented at

How has welfare to work reform affected the mental health of single parents in Australia?
Concerns raised about the inadequacy of income support payments in Australia have chiefly centred on the increased poverty experienced by highly vulnerable recipients, such as single parents. This poverty not
only increases the risk of social exclusion, but has broader implications for health and wellbeing.This research was funded through a grant - ARC Grant #DP120101887
Troubling Trends in Terrorism and Attacks on Surface Transportation: The Outlook Is Grim, but People Still Have a Great Deal of Control
This Transportation Security Perspective is the seventh in a continuing series produced by the National Transportation Safety and Security Center of the Mineta Transportation Institute. These examine major terrorist attacks and trends in terrorists targeting surface transportation
A Terrorism Analysis of the April 14, 2014, Bus Terminal Bombing in Abuja, Nigeria
This Transportation Security Perspective is the fourth in a continuing series produced by the National Transportation Safety and Security Center of the Mineta Transportation Institute. These examine major terrorist attacks and trends in terrorists targeting surface transportation. Previous perspectives include the terrorist bombings in Volgograd, Russia; the assault on passengers at the Kunming train station in China; and the reported plot against the Metro in Los Angeles
