Tumor Dynamics Under Immunotherapy: A Time-Delay Revised Predator-Prey Model, Emma A. Turian
Tumor Dynamics Under Immunotherapy: A Time-Delay Revised Predator-Prey Model, Emma A. Turian
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide and traditional treatments such as surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy may have limited benefits depending on the type of cancer and the stage at which it is diagnosed. Immunity is the state of protection against foreign pathogens or substances (i.e., antigens). Recent research into novel approaches to treatment has suggested that immunotherapy, which aims to optimize the body’s own natural responses to combating disease through various mechanisms, may be a promising strategy that can improve prognosis for certain cancer types that are refractory to other treatment options. Quantitative models simulating the dynamics …

Internet Searching Behaviors Of Low Literacy Breast Cancer Survivors, Francisco D. Iacobelli, Ginger L. Dragon, Giselle Mazur, Judy Guitelman
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Internet searching is a popular tool for patients to find health-related information. However, low literacy individuals are at a disadvantage with respect to their ability to evaluate online health information. When using common web search engines to find health information, behaviors such as misspelling, misappropriation of words and incomplete search queries can result in inadequate results and misleading information. The goal of this research is to understand the search strategies and common mistakes that low-literacy Latina breast cancer survivors exhibit when searching for information online in order to inform future information seeking interfaces. To explore search behaviors online we asked …
Newton’S Iteration At Nonisoated Solutions, Zhonggang Zeng
Newton’S Iteration At Nonisoated Solutions, Zhonggang Zeng
Faculty Research and Creative Activities Symposium
Newton’s iteration is arguably the most important and fundamental method for solving systems of nonlinear equations with a long and fascinating history. Its local quadratic convergence to isolated nonsingular solutions is well documented in the literature. It is also well-known that the iteration loses its quadratic rate of convergence, if it applies and converges at all, to nonisolated solutions with a dismal attainable accuracy in numerical computation. Even though solving systems of nonlinear equations is a standard topic in textbooks of numerical analysis, the elaboration has always been limited to isolated solutions. Models with nonisolated solutions frequently arise in applications. …
