BRS Operators and Covariant Derivatives in Loop Space for P-Branes Coupled to Yang-Mills
Canonical forms are given for the nilpotent BRS operator \d and the
covariant `loop space' derivative {\cal D}_{\m} for the p-brane fields for
all odd p. The defining characteristic of {\cal D}_{\m} is that it is a
functional derivative operator which generalizes the ordinary functional
derivative and also commutes with \d. Methods of construction for the
canonical forms are discussed.Comment: 21 pages, CTP-TAMU-50/9
Octonion X,Y-Product Variants
The automorphism group of the octonions changes when octonion
X,Y-product variants are used. I present here a general solution for how to go
from to its X,Y-product variant.Comment: 5 pages, latex, no figure
Higher Spin BRS Cohomology of Supersymmetric Chiral Matter in D=4
We examine the BRS cohomology of chiral matter in , supersymmetry
to determine a general form of composite superfield operators which can suffer
from supersymmetry anomalies. Composite superfield operators \Y_{(a,b)} are
products of the elementary chiral superfields and \ov S and the
derivative operators D_\a, \ov D_{\dot \b} and \pa_{\a \dot \b}. Such
superfields \Y_{(a,b)} can be chosen to have `' symmetrized undotted
indices \a_i and `' symmetrized dotted indices \dot \b_j. The result
derived here is that each composite superfield \Y_{(a,b)} is subject to
potential supersymmetry anomalies if is an odd number, which means that
\Y_{(a,b)} is a fermionic superfield.Comment: 15 pages, CPT-TAMU-20/9

Ethics systems in the New Zealand psychological society
It is important to remember that the Psychological Society does not exist in isolation. It is part of a wider society and must be accountable to and responsive to the needs of the public, its clients and changes occurring in the community. Ethics largely arise out of the public’s expectations of the profession and implied in that is compliance with the law. Psychologists are obviously answerable to the Courts when their actions transgress the law; no one can legally claim that inclusions or omissions from a code of ethics permit them to act outside of the law. Fortunately, there are seldom conflicts between ethical and legal obligations as certain statutory provisions now reflect some of the more important of our ethical standards. Any consideration of ethics in the Society must take account of the wider societal context within which psychologists operate
Echo's body: play and representation in interactive music software
This paper examines Hans Georg Gadamer's theory of play (as it is presented in Truth and Method) and adapts it to the context of interactive music software. I aim to show that interactive technological environments afford play in ways which, because they relate to truth and selfhood, are cognitively and philosophically significant and are not 'merely' playful
