Flying out the hayloft
Ever since I built the cattle shed, and added the derrick to the front of it to allow bales to be hoisted up, I've thought that would make a very cool place to do a suspension. Now, at last, I've done it.

"This pocket recission thing is easy. Sure they can sit on the funds until they expire and then they’re gone. I think that’s right. However, failing to spend appropriated funds is a failure to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed, and is impeachable.
So impeach the shithead."

Non-autonomous problem for a $2m$-th order semilinear nonlocal parabolic equation
In this paper we consider a $2m$-th order non autonomous quasilinear parabolic equation. Under suitable conditions of growth and regularity for the nonlinear functions present in the model, we prove a result of existence and characterization of pullback attractors. Moreover, we consider an autonomous version from the $2m$-th order non autonomous quasilinear parabolic equation in question.

Faster exponential algorithms for cut problems via geometric data structures
For many hard computational problems, simple algorithms that run in time $2^n \cdot n^{O(1)}$ arise, say, from enumerating all subsets of a size-$n$ set. Finding (exponentially) faster algorithms is a natural goal that has driven much of the field of exact exponential algorithms (e.g., see Fomin and Kratsch, 2010). In this paper we obtain algorithms with running time $O(1.9999977^n)$ on input graphs with $n$ vertices, for the following well-studied problems: - $d$-Cut: find a proper cut in wh…

Eliciting User Requirements for AI-Enhanced Learning Environments using a Participatory Approach
This paper explores the needs \& expectations of educational stakeholders for AI (Artificial Intelligence)-enhanced learning environments. Data was collected following two-phased participatory workshops. The first workshop outlined stakeholders' profiles in terms of technical and pedagogical characteristics. The qualitative data collected was analysed using deductive thematic analysis with Activity Theory, explicating the user needs. The second workshop articulated expectations related to the i…
