A manifestly U–duality covariant approach to M–theory cosmology is developed and applied to cosmologies in dimensions D = 4, 5. Cosmological properties such as expansion powers and Hubble parameters turn out to be U–duality invariant in certain asymptotic regions. U–duality transformations acting on cosmological solutions, on the other hand, shift the transition time between two asymptotic regi...

For many people in Australia, crowding is a major issue and an unavoidable aspect of their daily rail commute. Australian passenger experiences, perceptions of, and their reactions to crowding are not well understood. To gain an understanding of passenger perceptions and tolerance of railway crowding and the impact of passenger behaviour on the crowding experience, qualitative (Stage 1) and qua...

The release of 4.3BSD in April of 1986 addressed many of the performance problems and unfinished interfaces present in 4.2BSD [Leffler84] [McKusick85]. The Computer Systems Research Group at Berkeley has now embarked on a new dev elopment phase to update other major components of the system, as well as to offer new functionality. There are five major ongoing projects. The first is to develop an...

Background: Teaching is a core activity for universities, and pedagogic research essential improving student experience, staff satisfaction, REF TEF scores. Pedagogic often performed as secondary area or by part-time staff, requiring good collaboration. Existing structures in universities result falling through the gaps quality work improvements to be missed. Aim: To develop clear flexible str...
