On The Image Of The Totalling Functor
(Mathematics, 2007-08-23)Let A denote a DG algebra and k a field. The totalling functor, from the category of chain complexes over the graded A-modules to the catagory of DG modules over A, can be extended to one between their derived categories. ... -
The Impact Of Vaccination And Multiple Types Of HPV On Cervical Cancer
(Mathematics, 2008-09-17)Understanding the relationship between multiple strains of human papillomavirus and cervical cancer may play a key role in vaccination strategies for the virus. In this article we formulate a model with two strains of ... -
High Order Weighted Compact Boundary Condition
(Mathematics, 2008-09-17)In multi-dimension flows, we expect to have problems at the boundaries when a shock hits or reflects at the boundary wall the remedy to this would be to develop weighted boundary conditions similar to the Weighted Compact ... -
Multiple Linear Regression Model Of Visceral Leishmaniasis In Bihar, India
(Mathematics, 2009-09-16)Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) is one of the world's worst parasitic killers, second only to Malaria, claiming nearly 500,000 lives each year. The disease attacks the spleen, liver, and bone marrow, and if left untreated is ... -
Cuspidal Modules Of The Lie Superalgebras Osp(1|2n)
(Mathematics, 2010-11-01)The classification of all bounded weight modules for the classical Lie superalgebras is an open question. Only recently, in fact, has the question been closed for the Lie algebras (see Mathieu). We give a differential ... -
A Snapshot Of Advanced High School Students' Understanding Of Continuity
(Mathematics, 2011-07-14)We report on a study of sixteen high school calculus and seven precalculus students' concept image and concept definition of continuity after one-trimester of instruction at a large suburban high school in the southwestern ... -
An Investigation Of The Conceptual Understanding Of Continuity And Derivatives In Calculus Of Emerging Scholars Versus Non-emerging Scholars Program Students
(Mathematics, 2011-07-14)The Emerging Scholars Program (ESP) has been adapted at colleges and universities across the nation in efforts to increase student access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This study ... -
A Mathematical Model For Swine Flu 2009 With Vaccination
(Mathematics, 2011-10-11)H1N1 influenza is one of the deadliest diseases in human's history. Swine Flu 2009 is the same virus and it was named in 2009. Vaccination is of the most common ways to control a disease. We offer a new vaccination model ... -
Predictive Model For Bigheaded Carps In Mississippi River
(Mathematics, 2012-04-11)Bigheaded carps refer to two species of fish called Silver carp and Bigheaded carp which have invaded the Upper Mississippi River System and are causing nuisance to the native fish like catfish, paddlefish and gizzard Shad ... -
Nonlinear Dynamics And Stochasticity Of Core Genetic Regulation
(Mathematics, 2012-07-25)"Bacillus subtilis" is one of the very well-studied organisms in biology. Recent results show that an alternative competence regulation circuit for this bacterium, differing only in the order of the composite negative ... -
Solving The Optimization Control Problem For Lunar Soft Landing Using Minimization Technique
(Mathematics, 2013-10-23)Minimizing fuel consumption in lunar missions has been a well studied and documented optimization problem. In this paper two cases of the lunar Lander are studied. The first case is the one dimensional problem where the ... -
Comparative Analysis Of Various Continuous-time Deterministic Models Of Tumor-immune Interactions
(Mathematics, 2015)Cancer is historically a leading cause of death in the United States. In 2013,cancer was the second leading cause of death with 584,881 deaths \cite{CDC}.Having solely been responsible for 22.5\% of all deaths in 2013 ... -
NUMBER SENSE IN HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS STUDENTS
(2016-01-08)Understanding the real number system plays a very important role in each student’s mathematical achievement. The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Mathematics Subchapter A. Elementary states, “For students ... -
Tensor Products of a Finite-Dimensional Representation and an Infinite-Dimensional Representation
(2016-05-05)In this project, we explicitly find the decomposition of the tensor product of a Verma module $Z(\lambda)$ and the standard module ${\mathbb C}^n$ of the Lie algebras $\mathfrak{sl}(n)$, $n=2,3$. The result provides an ... -
A SNAPSHOT OF THE ALIGNMENT OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING PRACTICES TO A LIKERT SCALE ASSESSMENT OF MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM SOLVING
(2017-05-22)This study investigates the alignment of students' actual problem-solving practices and compares them to the outcomes on a Likert scale mathematical problem solving (MPS) assessment. The Likert scale survey items developed ... -
USE OF GENERALIZED GAMMA DISTRIBUTION IN MODELING
(2017-06-01)In this study, we have considered analysis of lifetime or survival data with right censoring, which is the most common form of censoring encountered in practice. Assuming a fully parametric setup, the main objective is to ... -
A Mathematical Model of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Incorporating Immune Responses and Cell Proliferation
(2017-08-03)This thesis introduces a mathematical model of differential equations for the chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, which is a contagious disease that infects the liver cells. Firstly, we present the early mathematical ... -
Optimal Control Methods for Chagas Disease
(2018-12-10)Chagas disease is the world's most neglected tropical disease. Having a lack of cure makes the primary focus on the disease preventing it and controlling it. This study takes into account three different control measures: ... -
DECOUPLING-BASED APPROACH TO CENTRALITY DETECTION IN HETEROGENEOUS MULTILAYER NETWORKS
(2021-08-13)Graph analysis is one of the techniques widely used for data analysis. It is used extensively on single graphs. Its ability to capture entities and relationships makes it an attractive data model. Search on graphs, such ...
