Enriching the university experience through volunteering: A pilot project
This article details the first year of a collaborative effort between a campus-based university and its local Victim Support scheme. The key innovative component was that student volunteers were trained to provide support to peers who experienced crime. Not a formal evaluation, this paper outlines how the work appeared beneficial to the university, its students, and Victim Support. The first two benefited through improved on-campus service to victimised students and to those who were trained and worked as volunteers. Victim Support benefited from increased numbers of volunteers and consequently, improved services. Some implementation difficulties are also described. This study provides a platform for further efforts and their more formal evaluation
Detecting hydrogen-containing contaminants on metal surfaces
Spark emission spectroscopy analyzes surface contamination of metals. This technique controls the quality of surface preparations and is useful in fundamental investigations of surface properties of metals
Non-negative curvature obstructions in cohomogeneity one and the Kervaire spheres
In contrast to the homogeneous case, we show that there are compact
cohomogeneity one manifolds, that do not support invariant metrics of
non-negative sectional curvature. In fact we exhibit infinite families of such
manifolds including the exotic Kervaire spheres. Such examples exist for any
codimension of the singular orbits except for the case where both are equal to
two, where existence of non-negatively curved metrics is known.Comment: 10 page
