Optimal Control Approach To Image Registration
(Mathematics, 2010-03-03)
The purpose of this dissertation is twofold: To present a new method of orthogonal grid generation and to investigate certain theoretical aspects of the optimal control approach to the image registration problem.In the ...
Adaptive Nonparametric Distribution-free Procedures In Factorial Data Analysis
(Mathematics, 2010-03-03)
Many statisticians have questioned the basic assumptions about underlying models which might dominate the analysis of the data in many cases. The assumption of normality without much thought is of concern to a growing group ...
Non-traditional Socio-mathematical Norms In Undergraduate Real Analysis
(Mathematics, 2010-03-03)
This study builds upon the framework of classroom norms (Cobb, Wood, & Yackel, 1993) and socio-mathematical norms (Cobb & Yackel, 1996) to understand how non-traditional socio-mathematical norms influence student reasoning ...
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 ...
Conditional Confidence Intervals Of Process Capability Indices Following Rejection Of Preliminary Tests
(Mathematics, 2010-07-19)
Finding an ordinary confidence interval of an unknown parameter is well known, but finding a conditional confidence interval following rejection of a preliminary test is not so noted, especially for finding a conditional ...
A cost-based comparison of quarantine strategies for new emerging diseases
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2010-07)
A classical epidemiological framework is used to provide a preliminary cost analysis of the effects of quarantine and isolation on the dynamics of infectious diseases for which no treatment or immediate diagnosis tools are ...
Alternative transmission modes for Trypanosoma cruzi
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2010-07)
The parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas’ disease, is
typically transmitted through a cycle in which vectors become infected through
bloodmeals on infected hosts and then infect other hosts through defecation
at ...
Estimating contact process saturation in sylvatic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in the United States
(Public Library of Science, 2010-04)
Although it has been known for nearly a century that strains of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent for Chagas' disease, are enzootic in the southern U.S., much remains unknown about the dynamics of its transmission ...
Community resilience in collaborative learning
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2010-07)
This paper introduces a simplified dynamical systems framework for the study of the mechanisms behind the growth of cooperative learning in large communities. We begin from the simplifying assumption that individual-based ...
Transmission dynamics and underreporting of Kala-azar in the Indian State of Bihar
(2010)
"Kala-azar" (or Indian Visceral Leishmaniasis) is a vector-borne infectious dis-
ease affecting communities in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Bihar,
a state in India, has one of the highest prevalence and ...
