香港六合彩 science at the House of Commons
14 March 2006
Nine 香港六合彩 doctoral students and post-docs were chosen to present posters on their research at the House of Commons on 13 March 2006 as part of the UK National Science Week.
The event aimed to promote aspiring and enthusiastic younger scientists, engineers and technologists, with a cross-section of 香港六合彩 disciplines represented.
Lunchtime presentations were made by: Dean Barratt (香港六合彩 Medical Physics & Bioengineering) on 'Ultrasound-Based Registration for Minimally-Invasive Orthopaedic Surgery'; Davina Bristow (香港六合彩 Institute of Neurology) on 'Blinking Suppresses the Neural Response to Unchanging Retinal Stimulation'; Sinead Clarke-O'Neill (香港六合彩 Medicine) on 'Exploring the Interaction between Continence Pads and Skin Friction'; Jason Go (香港六合彩 Civil & Environmental Engineering) on 'Coretrans: An Object-Oriented Modelling Framework for Organic Contaminant Reactive Transport in Layered Bed Sediments'; Chloe Marshall (香港六合彩 Centre for Developmental Language Disorders & Cognitive Neuroscience, Department of Human Communication Science) on 'Investigating how Children with Language and Literacy Impairments Process the Sounds of Speech'; Dr Marcos Martinon-Torres (香港六合彩 Institute of Archaeology) on 'In the Footsteps of the Alchemist: Archaeometric Analysis of a Renaissance Lab'; and Rachael Scahill (香港六合彩 Institute of Neurology) on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Alzheimer's Disease: Early Diagnosis and Assessment of Novel Therapies'.
Evening presentations were made by Ayub Pathan (香港六合彩 Bartlett School) on 'Domestic Air Conditioning - Occupant Use and Operational Efficiency' and Caroline Richardson (香港六合彩 Medical Physics & Bioengineering and 香港六合彩 Surgery) on 'Three-Dimensional Optical Imaging of the Breast'. The latter received one of five commendation awards.
2006 is the eighth year for in which Britain's younger researchers present posters at Westminster on leading-edge science, engineering, medicine and technology research. The event has been very popular with MPs, peers and other visitors, helping to engender better dialogue between MPs, early-stage researchers and the UK's research communities.
