Effects Of Vector Migration On Sylvatic Trypanosoma Cruzi Transmission
(Mathematics, 2012-07-25)
Vector-borne diseases have had a major impact on global health concerns since their discovery in the 1800's. A vector-borne disease is one transmitted to human or animal host via an invertebrate vector (usually an insect). ...
Regular Algebras Related To Regular Graded Skew Clifford Algebras Of Low Global Dimension
(Mathematics, 2011-10-11)
M. Artin, W. Schelter, J. Tate, and M. Van den Bergh introduced the notion of non-commutative regular algebras, and classified regular algebras of global dimension 3 on degree-one generators by using geometry (i.e., point ...
From Discrete To Continuous Models Of Cell Movement: An Application To Medical Implants
(Mathematics, 2013-03-20)
Mathematical modeling of cell movement is needed to aid in the deeper understanding of vital processes such as embryogenesis, angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, and immune reactions to foreign bodies. In this work, cell ...
The Generalized Two-component Hunter-Saxton System
(Mathematics, 2013-07-22)
This thesis is concerned with the generalized two-component Hunter-Saxton system. In the periodic setting, we study the wave-breaking phenomenon and global existence for the generalized two-component Hunter-Saxton system. ...
High Order Compact Scheme For Discontinuous Differential Equations
(Mathematics, 2011-07-14)
A high order implicit second derivative compact method is given which is similar the Adams-Moulton method, but requiring only two steps for sixth order. This method is used in both predictor-corrector and Newton's method ...
Effects Of Discrete Time Delays And Parameters Variation On Dynamical Systems
(Mathematics, 2013-10-23)
To understand the effects of discrete time delays and of parameters variation on certain biological system models, we first consider a Delay Differential Equation model of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We investigate ...
On Primitivity And Dimension Of Finite Semifields And Their Planes
(Mathematics, 2013-03-20)
The study of semifields was originated by L.E. Dickson in 1905 and was greatly developed in the 1960s by Albert, Knuth, Walker, Kleinfeld among others. Two problems of interest in this area are the primitivity of semifields ...
Smooth Quantile Processes For Right Censored Data
(Mathematics, 2013-07-22)
The development of an estimator of a quantile function Q(p) is discussed. The smooth nonparametric estimator Qn(p) of a quantile function Q(p) is defined as the solution to Fn(Qn(p)) = p, where Fn is a smooth Kaplan-Meier ...
Resolutions And Tor Algebra Structures For Trivariate Monomial Ideals
(Mathematics, 2012-07-25)
In this manuscript we explore properties of minimal free resolutions and their relationship to the Tor-algebra structure for trivariate monomial ideals. We begin with an in-depth analysis of minimal free resolutions of ...
On The Existence Of Totally Reflexive Modules
(Mathematics, 2011-07-14)
In this manuscript, we investigate the existence of non-free totally reflexive modules over two classes of commutative local (Noetherian) rings.First, we demonstrate existence over a class of local rings which are defined ...
