We propose a model-free approach to analyse the movement of pedestrians in experiments and simulations. Using concepts from control and analysis of complex dynamical systems we set up a scheme which allows us to identify dynamical unstable signatures in pedestrian flows. These signatures are the (...)

Abstract: Children who experience poor academic performance at school have been d escribed as having learning difficulties (LD). These children are thought to show reduced performances in reading, written language and numeracy, and/or to be inactive and inefficient learners. Hearing is one of (...)

This event will showcase key UWA research projects including the Avon River Catchment Critical Zone Observatory, 'Enrich' Forage Systems, Oestrogenic Subclover pastures, the Land Restoration (...)

The diaphragm is the major component of the respiratory muscle pump and is rhythmically active throughout life, from the moment of birth until our final breath. So the functional capacity of the diaphragm is critically important for achieving its life-sustaining role in ventilation. Appropriate in (...)

Socialising your research can be a great way to increase visibility of your work and publications and lead to increased collaborations and citations. As well as using both UWA's and your own social media networks, 'socialising' your research also encompasses other online exposure. Come and learn (...)

Groups are mathematical objects that abstractly capture the concept of symmetry. Two groups are isomorphic if they essentially describe the same data, but they might be given with respect to different frames of reference. More specifically, two groups are isomorphic if there is a 1-to-1 (...)

Colloquium followed by refreshments in Monadelphous Integrated Learning Centre

Applied mathematics involves building models of the real world. When those models consist of differential equations (as they very often do) one can seek to do one of two things: (1) make approximations that (...)

Three graduates of the School of Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, Professors Peter Veitch, David McClelland and David Blair were recipients of the 2020 Prime Minister’s Science Prize for the Discovery of Gravitational Waves. It is a great pleasure to have them all together on campus (...)

New ideas and new discoveries have changed our view of space and time, the very fabric of the universe. The changes began a century ago when the Wallal Eclipse in Western Australia proved that space is elastic and flexible.
