Sonar behaviour in non-terrestrial ocean exploration
A goal for a future Europan payload is to determine the extent of the postulated sea, aspects of acoustic remote sensing are discussed with a view to operating a sonar in such an subsurface ocean

A miniature UV-VIS spectrometer for the surface of Mars
A miniature spectrometer is in the process of development for a future Mars mission, to measure the UV-VIS spectrum encountered at the martian surface. With an intended mass of ~100 g, the spectrometer is planned as part of the ESA ExoMars mission

Surface Profiling of Natural Dust Devils
We present results from the first high-resolution near-surface profiles conducted on dust devil wind fields. These results are integrated with extensive geologic mapping to understand the factors that influence vortex generation and erosive efficacy

A close encounter with a terrestrial dust devil
We report on an extremely well characterised encounter with a terrestrial dust devil, and its comparison with martian dust devils

Constraints on the Huygens landing site topography from the Surface Science Package Acoustic Properties Instrument
We present analysis of the results from the Huygens acoustic sounder instrument. The sounder sees a relatively smooth terrain, with specular reflectance characteristics
VLA Survey of Dense Gas in Extended Green Objects: Prevalence of 25 GHz Methanol Masers
We present resolution Very Large Array (VLA) observations of four
CHOH - 25~GHz transitions (=3, 5, 8, 10) along with 1.3~cm
continuum toward 20 regions of active massive star formation containing
Extended Green Objects (EGOs), 14 of which we have previously studied with the
VLA in the Class~I 44~GHz and Class~II 6.7~GHz maser lines (Cyganowski et al.
2009). Sixteen regions are detected in at least one 25~GHz line (=5), with
13 of 16 exhibiting maser emission. In total, we report 34 new sites of
CHOH maser emission and ten new sites of thermal CHOH emission,
significantly increasing the number of 25~GHz Class I CHOH masers observed
at high angular resolution. We identify probable or likely maser counterparts
at 44~GHz for all 15 of the 25~GHz masers for which we have complementary data,
providing further evidence that these masers trace similar physical conditions
despite uncorrelated flux densities. The sites of thermal and maser emission of
CHOH are both predominantly associated with the 4.5 m emission from
the EGO, and the presence of thermal CHOH emission is accompanied by 1.3~cm
continuum emission in 9 out of 10 cases. Of the 19 regions that exhibit 1.3~cm
continuum emission, it is associated with the EGO in 16 cases (out of a total
of 20 sites), 13 of which are new detections at 1.3~cm. Twelve of the 1.3~cm
continuum sources are associated with 6.7~GHz maser emission and likely trace

Isospin-mixing corrections for fp-shell Fermi transitions
Isospin-mixing corrections for superallowed Fermi transitions in {\it
fp}-shell nuclei are computed within the framework of the shell model. The
study includes three nuclei that are part of the set of nine accurately
measured transitions as well as five cases that are expected to be measured in
the future at radioactive-beam facilities. We also include some new
calculations for C. With the isospin-mixing corrections applied to the
nine accurately measured values, the conserved-vector-current hypothesis
and the unitarity condition of the Cabbibo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix are
tested.Comment: 13 pages plus five tables. revtex macro
An Outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium at a teaching hospital
An outbreak of Salmonella typhimurium infection in December 1996 affected 52 patients, relatives, and staff of a large teaching hospital in southeast Queensland. Assorted sandwiches were identified as the vehicle of transmission. This article describes the outbreak investigation and demonstrates the importance of food hygiene and timely public health interventions
