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 building blocks for crowd control and soft management of people. Our approach is entirely data driven and we provide a proof of concept by field and laboratory experiments. In addition, our approach provides, based on experimental observations, quantitative benchmarks to judge the quality of mathematical models for pedestrian motion.

We all know the GAMSAT to be a reasoning exam rather than knowledge- based and have designed our courses and free resources to help you optimise the skills that are being assessed in the GAMSAT medical entrance exam test.

Our problem-based learning method lets you approach the test as a learning experience - almost everything you need to answer a question can be found on the exam paper!

Develop exam-level reasoning skills as you learn proven strategies

- Learn how to plan your approaches to GAMSAT Section 1, 2 & 3.

- Discuss strategies, formatting, and ideas for your Section 2 essays.

- Try a sample of GAMSAT-level Section 3 (science) questions.

- Get insights into efficient preparation relevant to GAMSAT-level practice questions.

- Free GAMSAT Section 2 Online Workshop that will help you get a head start on acing Section 2 of the GAMSAT exam! You’ll learn how to “find the theme”, which will allow you to respond to the stimuli effectively.

To combat the immense time pressure of the GAMSAT Exam, you'll also learn how to plan an essay structure in a short time-frame and we’ll cover the steps to writing a high-scoring essay. To cap it off, we'll also walk you through an example marked essay to give you some final essay writing tips!

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 several factors thought to influence a child’s learning at school with students spending at least 45% of their classroom activities that require listening and 45 - 75% of their time in the classroom comprehending their teachers’ and classmates’ speech. Hearing impairment can include loss of hearing sensitivity and/or impaired auditory processing. While rates of peripheral hearing loss in the Australian primary school-aged population is estimated to be between 3.4% - 12.8%, rates of impaired auditory processing in this population are not available in Australia. Children with peripheral hearing loss and/or impaired auditory processing often show behaviours similar to those reported in children with LD, suggesting that LD and hearing impairment could be related in primary school child populations. This seminar will present the research that investigated LD and hearing impairment in a school-aged child population in the greater Brisbane region of Queensland, Australia.
