Learning from secularism

The Uniting Church lives within a world-wide fellowship of Churches in which it will learn to sharpen its understanding of the will and purpose of God by contact with contemporary thought. Within that fellowship the Uniting Church also stands in relation to contemporary societies in ways which will help it to understand its own nature and mission. Arguably the most immediate context in which the Uniting Church lives, together with all other Churches in Australia, is the secular society. However, as far as I am aware, there is not much serious engagement with this-indeed, one hears all sorts of statements made about the secular or 'postmodern' society in Church circles, at presbyteries and synods, board and commission meetings and in everyday talk among Church people. Usually these are woefully ill-informed and rarely rise above the cliche

Amplifier for signal from thin film transducer

Electronic circuitry is devised to raise low level signal from platinum film type transducer to sufficient amplitude to trigger oscilloscope or time interval counter. Circuit can be used wherever it is necessary to raise level of low amplitude, low impedance positive polarity pulse source to a 5 or 6 volt level

Homology of holomorphs of free groups

The holomorph of a free group $F_n$ is the semidirect product $F_n \rtimes Aut(F_n)$. Using the methods of Hatcher and Vogtmann, we derive stability results and calculate the mod-$p$ homology of these holomorphs for odd primes $p$ in dimensions 1 and 2, and their rational homology in dimensions 1 through 5. Calculations of the twisted (where $Aut(F_n)$ acts by first projecting to $Gl_n(\Z)$ and then including in Gl_n(\Q)) homology H_*(Aut(F_n); \Q^n) follow in corresponding dimensions.Comment: Revised using helpful comments of referee.
