Fix this textTHE winner of the
Fix this text$25,000 Travelling
Fix this textArt Scholarship for 1994
Fix this textplans to use the scholar-
Fix this textship to continue his
Fix this textstudy of characteristics
Fix this textof the Australian/Mal-
Fix this texttese community.
Fix this textJohn Spiteri, who is in the fi-
Fix this textnal year of a Master of Art (Paint-
Fix this texting) degree at UNSW’s College of
Fix this textFine Arts, received the award
Fix this textfrom Mr Peter Collins, NSW
Fix this textMinister for the Arts, at a func-
Fix this texttion at the College on 1 August.
Fix this textHe plans to use the scholar-
Fix this textship to spend a year studying
Fix this textand researching in the Master
Fix this textof Philosophy course offered at
Fix this textGoldsmiths College, London.
Fix this textMr Spiteri said he chose Eng-
Fix this textland as a base for his studies
Fix this textbecause he wants to connect
Fix this textthe effects of English colonisa-
Fix this texttion on Malta and contempo-
Fix this textrary Maltese culture. “This
Fix this textwould enhance my work on the
Fix this textcurrent position of Austra-
Fix this textlian/Maltese and the particular
Fix this textcharacteristics of this commu-
Fix this textnity,” he said.
Fix this text“Using England as a base will
Fix this textallow me to place into perspec-
Fix this texttive aspects of English culture
Fix this textand how they have ingrained
Fix this textthemselves into postcolonial
Fix this textMaltese and Australian contem-
Fix this textporary culture, Malta having
Fix this textbeen under British rule from
Fix this text1799 until the 19605.
Fix this text“Wherever English colonisa-
Fix this texttion has occurred there have
Fix this textbeen particular effects on the
Fix this textprevailing culture. English col-
Fix this textonisation of Australia and
Fix this textMalta has resulted in very dif-
Fix this textferent outcomes on the indige-
Fix this textnous people and their culture.”
Fix this textMr Spiteri said that re-
Fix this textsearching the origins of a
Fix this textwhole range of cultural charac-
Fix this textteristics would help him to
Fix this textclarify why particular aspects
Fix this textof English culture have sur-
Fix this textvived in a hybrid form within
Fix this textMaltese culture.
Fix this text“As my work is dealing with
Fix this textnotions of cultural duality and
Fix this textattempts to negotiate a position
Fix this textwhere both cultures can co-ex-
Fix this textist, the research would enable
Fix this textme to gain a greater insight into
Fix this textthe unique position of the Aus-
Fix this texttralian/Maltese and myself,”
Fix this texthe said.
Fix this text“This understanding would
Fix this textallow me to articulate more
Fix this textclearly the position of cultural
Fix this texthybridity in my work.”
Fix this textThe prestigious Travelling
Fix this textArt Scholarship was founded
Fix this textin 1900 by the Society of Art-
Fix this textists using a subsidy from the
Fix this textState Government.
Fix this textThe scholarships were
Fix this textawarded irregularly until 1975
Fix this textwhen they became an annual
Fix this textfeature of the NSW art calen-
Fix this textdar. Since then all but three of
Fix this textthe scholarships have been
Fix this textwon by graduates or members
Fix this textof the College of Fine Arts.
Fix this textJohn Spiteri’s selection
Fix this textahead of 70 applicants for the
Fix this text1994 scholarship kept the tra-
Fix this textdition alive. ■
Fix this textSpace symposium well timed
Fix this textAustralia spends about $5OO mil-
Fix this textlion a year on space activity.
Fix this textSpace activity is no longer an area of
Fix this textfuturistic possibility. It is a significant
Fix this textpart of our daily lives.
Fix this textA symposium looking at the range of space
Fix this texttechnologies - from spacecraft electronics, re-
Fix this textmote sensing and Global Positioning System
Fix this text(GPS) navigation to space communications
Fix this textand business development will be held at the
Fix this textUniversity of New South Wales Roundhouse
Fix this textfrom 5-7 September.
Fix this textThe theme for the Ninth National Space
Fix this textEngineering Symposium is Space Communi-
Fix this textcations. In light of recent debates about pro-
Fix this textposed telephone systems and the use of
Fix this textsatellite broadcasting in television, space com-
Fix this textmunication has become a hot political issue.
Fix this textThe event has been timed to coincide with
Fix this textthe Third Australian Space Development Con-
Fix this textference from 8-10 September which will be
Fix this textheld at the Sheraton Wentworth Hotel, bring-
Fix this texting together two events of major significance
Fix this textto the space industry.

Fix this textCanada, Ottawa), Dr Richard
Fix this textNewbury, a Senior Lecturer,

Fix this textcurrently completing her doc-
Fix this texttoral thesis in the School.
Fix this textNanostructures are expected
Fix this textto trigger the first real revolution
Fix this textin electronics since the solid
Fix this textstate transistor replaced the vac-
Fix this textuum tube in the 1950s. The Aus-
Fix this texttralian Research Council (ARC)
Fix this textrecently recognised the poten-
Fix this texttial importance of nanostruc-
Fix this texttures to Australian science and
Fix this textindustry through a series of ma-
Fix this textjor funding initiatives.
Fix this textThe UNSW experiments
Fix this textwere carried out at tempera-
Fix this texttures down to 25mK (0.025
Fix this textKelvin above absolute zero) us-
Fix this texting the dilution refrigerator
Fix this textand superconducting magnet
Fix this textsystem established by Dr New-
Fix this textbury and funded jointly by
Fix this textUNSW and the ARC.
Fix this textThe latest experiment was
Fix this textperformed in early July. The
Fix this textwork has already been pre-
Fix this textsented at the 1994 Pan-Asian
Fix this textPacific Physics Conference in
Fix this textBrisbane and the data are to
Fix this textappear in an extensive review
Fix this textarticle in the new Journal of
Fix this textNanotechnology. Other recent
Fix this textresults have been submitted for
Fix this textpublication and will be pre-
Fix this textsented to the nanostructure
Fix this textcommunity at the International
Fix this textConference on Superlattices
Fix this textand Microstructures in North
Fix this textAmerica in the next fortnight.
Fix this textDr Taylor said the experi-
Fix this textment was successful from the
Fix this textviewpoints of physics and of
Fix this textengineering. “As well as allow-
Fix this texting an exploration of the novel
Fix this textphysical phenomena seen at
Fix this textthese reduced sizes, the experi-
Fix this textment provided valuable feed-
Fix this textback regarding technical aspects
Fix this textof the device construction.
Fix this text“We have shown that the
Fix this textelectronic conductance of
Fix this textthese nanostructure devices
Fix this textcan be affected by geometry-in-
Fix this textduced localisation of electron
Fix this textwaves carrying the current.
Fix this textThe specific geometry can also
Fix this textbe used to tune the evolution of
Fix this textchaotic electron behaviour in a
Fix this textnanostructure. This effect is
Fix this textnow being seen to have impor-
Fix this texttant implications for other
Fix this textbranches of science,” he said.
Fix this textDr Taylor said his work had
Fix this textbeen possible through a col-
Fix this textlaboration with Dr Andy Sa-
Fix this textchrajda and Dr Peter Coleridge
Fix this textat the NRC of Canada, recog-
Fix this textnised as a leading facility in
Fix this textsemiconductor nanostruc-
Fix this texttures, where the devices were
Fix this textfabricated and where a parallel
Fix this textprogram of experiments is un-
Fix this textder way. The collaboration is
Fix this textfunded at UNSW by the ARC
Fix this textSmall Grants scheme.
Fix this textMor* advanced devices
Fix this text“These first results open the
Fix this textway for a broad and significant
Fix this textAustralian-Canadian collabo-
Fix this textration,” Dr Newbury said.

Fix this textYan Feng and Dr Taylor during
Fix this texta recent exchange visit to the
Fix this textNRC provide an opportunity to
Fix this textestablish a significant lead in
Fix this textthe field of laterally defined
Fix this textsemiconductor nanostructure
Fix this textelements.
Fix this text“Such devices will provide
Fix this textthe opportunity to use individ-
Fix this textual nanostructures as building
Fix this textblocks in nanometre-scale cir-
Fix this textcuits - the next century’s
Fix this textequivalent of present day elec-
Fix this texttronic logic.
Fix this text“This achievement repre-
Fix this textsents a major advance as until
Fix this textnow only single, individual
Fix this textnanostructures have been in-
Fix this textvestigated, but how a nanos-
Fix this texttructure interacts with its
Fix this textneighbour (for example in a cir-
Fix this textcuit) has not been addressed,”
Fix this textDr Taylor said.
Fix this textThese multiple-level nanos-
Fix this texttructure devices will be stud-
Fix this textied at UNSW in the immediate
Fix this textfuture.
Fix this textThe interconnect technique
Fix this textwas patented by NASA in
Fix this text1959, but 35 years of research
