SPACE: Student Perspectives About Civic Engagement

The main focus of this project is to analyze students’ poor attendance in order to understand the applicable factors as to why upperclassmen tend to miss more school than students in younger grades. We will be focusing on how students relationships with parents and teachers affect upperclassmen attendance. An anonymous ten question survey was given to five Junior and Senior Civics and U.S. History classes at Steinmetz College Prep high school. The questions were geared towards the students days absent during the school year, and their relationship with teachers and parents. Majority of the students surveyed missed more than 20 …

Spora: A Journal of Biomathematics

We analyze a process-based temperature model for the length distribution and population over time of mayfly nymphs. Model parameters are estimated using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo parameter estimation method utilizing length distribution data at five different stream sites. Two different models (a standard exponential model and a modified Weibull model) of mayfly mortality are evaluated, where in both cases mayfly length growth is a function of stream temperature. Based on model-data comparisons to the modeled length distribution and the Bayesian Information Criterion, we found that approaches that length distribution data can reliably estimate 2–3 model parameters. Future model development …


The Entrance Times Of Feigenbaum's Map, Akhtam Dzhalilov, Khamza Kudratov Jan 2018

The Entrance Times Of Feigenbaum's Map, Akhtam Dzhalilov, Khamza Kudratov

Acta of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent

It is well known that the Feigenbaum's map ϕ plays main role in theory of universality. The map ϕ is unimodal, even, analitic map of the interval [-1; 1] with one critical point. It is important that the Feigenbaum's map ϕ have infinitely many unstable periodic points and an attractor K of "Cantor type". In present work we investigate the behaviour of entrance times to the set F:


Uniform Distribution For Piecewise-Linear Herman's Maps With Two Breaks, Akhtam Dzhalilov, Khamza Tashkulov Jan 2018

Uniform Distribution For Piecewise-Linear Herman's Maps With Two Breaks, Akhtam Dzhalilov, Khamza Tashkulov

Acta of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent

Let h be a piecewise-linear (PL) circle homeomorphism with two break points a0 , c0 and irrational rotation number ρh . Denote by qn , n ≥ 1 the first return times of h and 000(0)():(0)hhaahaσ′−=′+ the jump of h at the point a0 . We prove that for every 1xS∈ the sequence 01log()mod1,1log()nqhDhxnaσ≥ is uniformly distributed on [0,1].


Quasi-Symmetric Distribution Function Of Invariant Measure Of Circle Homeomorphisms With Singularities, U.A. Safarov Jan 2018

Quasi-Symmetric Distribution Function Of Invariant Measure Of Circle Homeomorphisms With Singularities, U.A. Safarov

Acta of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent

Let f be a circle homeomorphism with single critical point of non-integer order, that is, 1()()||()dcrcrcrfxxxxxfx−=−−+, 2d>, for some δ-neighborhood ()crUxδ. We prove that, if the homeomorphism f is P-homeomorphism on the set 1\()crSUxδ with irrational rotation numberfρ, then f is topologically conjugate to the pure rotation fρ . Moreover, ϕ is quasi-symmetric if and only if fρ is of bounded type.
