1 Introduction
I completed both BSc and MSc degrees at the former Department of
Physics, now School of
Physics, Monash University and a
PhD with Glen Stewart at the former School of Physics, now part of
PEMS,
ADFA (academically part of
UNSW). I worked as a postdoc at ADFA
with Don Chaplin and
Wayne
Hutchison. In 2000 I worked in the Netherlands as a postdoc with
Paul Gubbens at
IRI.
As a matter of military interest I have scans of a small selection of
photographs taken by my father during the Korean War while serving
with 77 Squadron RAAF as Engineering Officer at
Kimpo and Seoul in Korea. Additionally some taken in Japan at
Iwakuni, Kintai and Tokyo.
1.1 Other documents
Some useful documents in, mainly in pdf format. My own
documents were created from LATEX source using either
pdflatex or
dvips plus
ps2pdf (part of
ghostscript).
The version of pdflatex I used is that which came with the
Texlive CD-ROM.
Some documents are linked off site.

2.7 Travel
2.8 Books
2.9 Photography
I use an old manual Minolta
SRT-101 with the Minolta 28 mm f/2.8, 35-70 mm f/3.5, 58 mm f/1.4,
135 mm f/3.5, 200 mm f/4 and 300 mm f/4.5 lenses plus the
Vivitar extension tube set. See the
Minolta User's Group (MUG:
nl,
us) for more information. See also
PhotoZone,
photo.net and
Tony Spadaro.
Initially I had my slides and negatives digitised commercially. More
recently I bought an ACER (now BENQ)
ScanWit 2720S film scanner.
I use Ed Hamrick's Vuescan which is
much superior to the supplied scanning software. A useful site for
information on scanning is Wayne Fulton's
Scantips.
3 World War One Aviation
Some performance data for WWI aircraft taken from various sources is
given in this document. These can
be compared, for the British, with an
article of unknown
provenance and a 1920
Flight table. Some summaries of
British aircraft test
results of which the first fourteen are of interest for WWI (14 MB, 64
pages). A STAe test report on a captured
Fokker DVII is of interest. The
Cranfield Aerade
site includes some translated German WWI documents through the
Cranfield searchable NACA archive and some ACA/ARC technical reports. A searchable
archive of scanned images of
Flight Magazine.
Some notes I took when reading Hooton's
War over the Trenches; also available in a
spreadsheet format.
4 LATEX
I have been a satisfied user of TEX and friends since the late
1980's, particularly LATEX. LATEX is a set of macros based on the
TEX typesetting language, both of which are available in free,
shareware and commercial versions for most platforms (e.g. unix, VMS,
DOS, Windows and Mac). Most of these implementations are described on
the TEX Users Group homepage (see
section 4.1). I wrote a local thesis style
adfathesis.cls which can also be
obtained from Comprehensive TEX Archive Network (CTAN)
sites and mirrors, in particular try the UNSW CTAN mirror (see
section 4.1). Another style that may be useful
locally is a modification of the standard letter class to have a
letterhead that is a reasonable approximation to the ADFA letterhead
(we don't have the Optima font on the Physics computer). This is
phsletter.cls with it's options fax and
memo. This class may be modified to suit other departments
and may be obtained from phsletter.zip,
4.1 TEX related
Some useful TEX and LATEX related links are given below.
4.2 Generally useful LATEX styles
- amslatex package that helps achieve improved mathematics
typesetting.
-
booktabs style for improved tables.
-
endfloat style which helps with archaic submissions requiring
figures and tables at the end.
-
fancyhdr style which gives more control of the header.
-
ntgclass classes with more attractive layout than the default.
-
memoir another class with more attractive layout.
-
setspace style which is useful for double spaced
text.
4.3 Physics related LATEX styles
There are classes for electronic or manual submission of articles to a
wide range of journals, in particular
- the revtex for
American Physical Society and American
Institute of Physics journals,
- the
(or hrefhttp://ctan.unsw.edu.au/macros/latex/contrib/elsarticle/
CTAN) elsarticle package for Elsevier
journals,
- the iopart for Institute of Physics journals,
- the Europhysics Journal
(EPJ) macros.
- Class files for some
IEEE publications.
- Class files for some
Springer journals.
- Class files for the IUCr may be obtained by anonymous
ftp.
- The AASTeX
macros for astronomers.
- Generic information relating to TEX and LATEX macros for
Astronomers.
Many other packages for various journals are available at CTAN ftp
sites or from the journals themselves.
