Hopf Bifurcation In Models For Pertussis Epidemiology, Herbert W. Hethcote, Yi Li, Zhujun Jing
Hopf Bifurcation In Models For Pertussis Epidemiology, Herbert W. Hethcote, Yi Li, Zhujun Jing
Yi Li
Pertussis (whooping cough) incidence in the United States has oscillated with a period of about four years since data was first collected in 1922. An infection with pertussis confers immunity for several years, but then the immunity wanes, so that reinfection is possible. A pertussis reinfection is mild after partial loss of immunity, but the reinfection can be severe after complete loss of immunity. Three pertussis transmission models with waning of immunity are examined for periodic solutions. Equilibria and their stability are determined. Hopf bifurcation of periodic solutions around the endemic equilibrium can occur for some parameter values in two …

Self-Consistency Algorithms, Thaddeus Tarpey
Self-Consistency Algorithms, Thaddeus Tarpey
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
The k-means algorithm and the principal curve algorithm are special cases of a self-consistency algorithm. A general self-consistency algorithm is described and results are provided describing the behavior of the algorithm for theoretical distributions, in particular elliptical distributions. The results are used to contrast the behavior of the algorithms when applied to a theoretical model and when applied to finite datasets from the model. The algorithm is also used to determine principal loops for the bivariate normal distribution.
Evaporation Of Jet Fuels, Charles Eric Hack
Evaporation Of Jet Fuels, Charles Eric Hack
Theses and Dissertations
Determining the fate and transport of JP-8 jet fuel is a complex and important problem. As part of the startup procedures for jet engines, fuel is passed through aircraft engines before combustion is initiated. Because of the extremely low temperatures at northern tier Air Force bases, the unburned fuel does not evaporate readily and may come into contact with ground crew. To determine the amount and duration of contaminant contact, the evaporation of the emitted fuel must be modeled. The amount and composition of the fuel upon reaching the ground crew may be determined by droplet evaporation models that have …
A Simplified Model Of Wound Healing - Ii: The Critical Size Defect In Two Dimensions, J. S. Arnold, John A. Adam
A Simplified Model Of Wound Healing - Ii: The Critical Size Defect In Two Dimensions, J. S. Arnold, John A. Adam
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
Recently, a one-dimensional model was developed which gives a reasonable explanation for the existence of a Critical Size Defect (CSD) in certain animals [1]. In this paper, we examine the more realistic two-dimensional model of a circular wound of uniform depth to see what modifications are to be found, as compared with the one-dimensional model, in studying the CSD phenomenon. It transpires that the range of CSD sizes for a reasonable estimate of parameter values is 1 mm-1 cm. More realistic estimates await the appropriate experimental data.

A Construction Of Orthogonal Compactly-Supported Multiwavelets On $\R^{2}$, Bruce Kessler
Mathematics Faculty Publications
This paper will provide the general construction of the continuous, orthogonal, compactly-supported multiwavelets associated with a class of continuous, orthogonal, compactly-supported scaling functions that contain piecewise linears on a uniform triangulation of $\R^2$. This class of scaling functions is a generalization of a set of scaling functions first constructed by Donovan, Geronimo, and Hardin. A specific set of scaling functions and associated multiwavelets with symmetry properties will be constructed.

Axiomatic Approach For Quantification Of Image Resolution, Ge Wang, Yi Li
Axiomatic Approach For Quantification Of Image Resolution, Ge Wang, Yi Li
Yi Li
Image resolution is the primary parameter for performance characterization of any imaging system. In this work, we present an axiomatic approach for quantification of image resolution, and demonstrate that a good image resolution measure should be proportional to the standard deviation of the point spread function of an imaging system.

Biology Faculty Publications
Reconstructing three dimensional structures (3DR) from histological sections has always been difficult but is becoming more accessible with the assistance of digital imaging. We sought to assemble a low cost system using readily available hardware and software to generate 3DR for a study of tadpole chondrocrania. We found that a combination of RGB camera, stereomicroscope, and Apple Macintosh PowerPC computers running NIH Image, Object Image, Rotater. and SURFdriver software provided acceptable reconstructions. These are limited in quality primarily by the distortions arising from histological protocols rather than hardware or software.

Codes Over Rings From Curves Of Higher Genus, José Felipe Voloch, Judy L. Walker
Codes Over Rings From Curves Of Higher Genus, José Felipe Voloch, Judy L. Walker
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
We construct certain error-correcting codes over finite rings and estimate their parameters. These codes are constructed using plane curves and the estimates for their parameters rely on constructing “lifts” of these curves and then estimating the size of certain exponential sums.
THE purpose of this paper is to construct certain error-correcting codes over finite rings and estimate their parameters. For this purpose, we need to develop some tools; notably, an estimate for the dimension of trace codes over rings (generalizing work of van der Vlugt over fields and some results on lifts of affin curves from field of characteristic p …
Variational Principles For Average Exit Time Moments For Diffusions In Euclidean Space, Kimberly Kinateder, Patrick Mcdonald
Variational Principles For Average Exit Time Moments For Diffusions In Euclidean Space, Kimberly Kinateder, Patrick Mcdonald
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications
Let D be a smoothly bounded domain in Euclidean space and let Xt be a diffusion in Euclidean space. For a class of diffusions, we develop variational principles which characterize the average of the moments of the exit time from D of a particle driven by Xt, where the average is taken overall starting points in D.
Stability Of Self-Similar Solutions For Van Der Waals Driven Thin Film Rupture, Thomas P. Witelski, Andrew J. Bernoff
Stability Of Self-Similar Solutions For Van Der Waals Driven Thin Film Rupture, Thomas P. Witelski, Andrew J. Bernoff
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
Recent studies of pinch-off of filaments and rupture in thin films have found infinite sets of first-type similarity solutions. Of these, the dynamically stable similarity solutions produce observable rupture behavior as localized, finite-time singularities in the models of the flow. In this letter we describe a systematic technique for calculating such solutions and determining their linear stability. For the problem of axisymmetric van der Waals driven rupture (recently studied by Zhang and Lister), we identify the unique stable similarity solution for point rupture of a thin film and an alternative mode of singularity formation corresponding to annular “ring rupture.”
A Simplified Model Of Wound Healing (With Particular Reference To The Critical Size Defect), J. A. Adam
A Simplified Model Of Wound Healing (With Particular Reference To The Critical Size Defect), J. A. Adam
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
This paper is an attempt to construct a simple mathematical model of wound healing/tissue regeneration which reproduces some of the known qualitative features of those phenomena. It does not address the time development of the wound in any way, but does examine conditions (e.g., wound size) under which such healing may occur. Two related one-dimensional models are examined here. The first, and simpler of the two corresponds to a "swath" of tissue (or more realistically in this case, bone) removed from an infinite plane of tissue in which only a thin band of tissue at the wound edges takes part …
Multiple Comparison Pruning Of Neural Networks., Donald E. Duckro
Multiple Comparison Pruning Of Neural Networks., Donald E. Duckro
Theses and Dissertations
Reducing a neural network's complexity improves the ability of the network to be applied to future examples. Like an overfitted regression function, neural networks may miss their target because of the excessive degrees of freedom stored up in unnecessary parameters. Over the past decade, the subject of pruning networks has produced non-statistical algorithms like Skeletonization, Optimal Brain Damage, and Optimal Brain Surgery as methods to remove connections with the least salience. There are conflicting views as to whether more than one parameter can be removed at a time. The methods proposed in this research use statistical multiple comparison procedures to …

Estimation And Goodness-Of-Fit In The Case Of Randomly Censored Lifetime Data, David M. Reineke
Estimation And Goodness-Of-Fit In The Case Of Randomly Censored Lifetime Data, David M. Reineke
Theses and Dissertations
A new continuous distribution function estimator for randomly censored data is developed, discussed, and compared to existing estimators. Minimum distance estimation is shown to be effective in estimating Weibull location parameters when random censoring is present. A method of estimating all 3 parameters of the 3-parameter Weibull distribution using a combination of minimum distance and maximum likelihood is also given. Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling goodness-of-fit test statistics are modified to measure the discrepancy between the maximum likelihood estimate and the Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimate of the distribution function of the random variable of interest. These modified test statistics are used to …

Dynamical Systems Associated With Particle Flow Models : Theory And Numerical Methods, Roman V. Samulyak
Dissertations
A new class of integro - partial differential equation models is derived for the prediction of granular flow dynamics. These models are obtained using a novel limiting averaging method (inspired by techniques employed in the derivation of infinite-dimensional dynamical systems models) on the Newtonian equations of motion of a many-particle system incorporating widely used inelastic particle-particle force formulas. By using Taylor series expansions, these models can be approximated by a system of partial differential equations of the Navier-Stokes type. Solutions of the new models for granular flows down inclined planes and in vibrating beds are compared with known experimental and …

Although a Christian, an author, and a mathematician, Charles Letwidge Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) wrote very few works in which these three aspects of his person was present. The only examples of him merging these interests are in Sylvie and Bruno and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded. This paper will explore what motivated him to make these works and whether or not they were successful.

Tracking The Trochoid On Safari, Andrew Simoson
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1999
While on sabbatical in Dar es Salaam in 1997–98, I was tasked to be the department’s seminar director and discovered that a dearth of speakers roam about in east Africa; so I opted to set up a lecture tour for myself to include Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana as well as Tanzania—and spoke about the envelope of curves generated by a series of line segments obtained when two runners attached by an ideal bungee cord (the line segments) proceed about a circular track. Herein we describe life in east Africa and show that those envelopes are trochoids.
