In this paper an interactive pattern extraction workbench, I*Pex, is presented. The workbench comes in a graphical environment and is designed to be used in an incremental and interactive fashion with the user. Patterns can be constructed to work in combination involving specifications on several linguistic levels simultaneously, from the character level using regular expressions, parts of spee...

The Bianchi Type V Universe composed by diffuse matter is studied. We examine its anisotropic behaviour as well as the distortion it would cause to CMBR. Next the parameter region allowed by the present cosmological constraints is given. The gauge dependency of the temperature pattern, induced by the anisotropies, is excibited.
