    • Community resilience in collaborative learning 

      Kribs, Christopher; Crisosto, Nicolas M.; Castillo-Chavez, Carlos; Wirkus, Stephen (American Institute of Mathematical SciencesMathematics Department, University of Texas at Arlington; Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Texas at Arlington; Laboratoire de Biometrie et Biologie Evolutive, UMR CNRS 5558 Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France, 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 ...

      Kribs, Christopher; Camacho, Erika T.; Wirkus, Stephen (American Instutute of Mathematical SciencesDepartment of Mathematics; Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Texas at Arlington, 2013)
      This article details the history, logistical operations, and design philosophy of the Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Institute (MTBI), a nationally recognized research program with an 18-year history of mentoring ...

    • Metering effects in population systems 

      Kribs, Christopher; Camacho, Erika T.; Wirkus, Stephen (American Institute of Mathematical SciencesDepartment of Mathematics; Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Texas at Arlington, 2013)
      This study compares the effects of two types of metering (periodic resetting and periodic increments) on one variable in a dynamical system, relative to the behavior of the corresponding system with an equivalent level of ...
