Examining Teacher Perceptions When Utilizing Volunteers In School-Based Agricultural Education Programs, Ashley B. Cromer
Examining Teacher Perceptions When Utilizing Volunteers In School-Based Agricultural Education Programs, Ashley B. Cromer
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
There has been little research conducted related to how school-based agricultural (SBAE) teachers perceive the utilization of volunteers in the classroom. The United States is facing a shortage of SBAE teachers, and with turnover rates that are not sustainable, solutions for support and reduction of the SBAE teachers’ workload must be sought with diligence. There is potential for volunteers to reduce some of the responsibilities that the SBAE teacher is faced with. The purposes of this study are to determine the demographic characteristics of the volunteers being utilized and of the SBAE teachers, determine the perceived benefits, barriers and beliefs …
A Normal Form For Words In The Temperley-Lieb Algebra And The Artin Braid Group On Three Strands, Jack Hartsell
A Normal Form For Words In The Temperley-Lieb Algebra And The Artin Braid Group On Three Strands, Jack Hartsell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The motivation for this thesis is the computer-assisted calculation of the Jones poly- nomial from braid words in the Artin braid group on three strands, denoted B3. The method used for calculation of the Jones polynomial is the original method that was created when the Jones polynomial was first discovered by Vaughan Jones in 1984. This method utilizes the Temperley-Lieb algebra, and in our case the Temperley-Lieb Algebra on three strands, denoted A3, thus generalizations about A3 that assist with the process of calculation are pursued.

On Chaplygin’S Method For First Order Neutral Differential Equation, Mamta Kumari, Y. S. Valaulikar
On Chaplygin’S Method For First Order Neutral Differential Equation, Mamta Kumari, Y. S. Valaulikar
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper we discuss the existence of a solution of a first order neutral differential equation with piecewise constant argument. We extend the method of Chaplygin’s sequence to obtain two sided bounds for the solution. These bounds are in the form of sequences of functions which are solutions of associated linear neutral differential equations with piecewise constant argument. This construction of monotonic sequences of upper and lower functions approximate, with increasing accuracy, the desired solution of the neutral differential equation with piecewise constant argument. Further we show that these sequences converge uniformly and monotonically to the unique solution of …

Numerical Studies For Mhd Flow And Gradient Heat Transport Past A Stretching Sheet With Radiation And Heat Production Via Dtm, Khadijah M. Abualnaja
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This paper presents a numerically study for the effect of the internal heat generation, magnetic field and thermal radiation effects on the flow and gradient heat transfer of a Newtonian fluid over a stretching sheet. By using a similarity transformation, the governing PDEs can be transformed into a coupled non-linear system of ODEs with variable coefficients. Numerical solutions for these equations subject to appropriate boundary conditions are obtained by using the differential transformation method (DTM). The effects of various physical parameters such as viscosity parameter, the suction parameter, the radiation parameter, internal heat generation or absorption parameter and the Prandtl …

Parameter Estimation And Optimal Control Of The Dynamics Of Transmission Of Tuberculosis With Application To Cameroon, A. Temgoua, Y. Malong, J. Mbang, S. Bowong
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This paper deals with the problem of parameter estimation and optimal control of a tuberculosis (TB) model with seasonal fluctuations. We first present a uncontrolled TB model with seasonal fluctuations. We present the theoretical analysis of the uncontrolled TB model without seasonal fluctuations. After, we propose a numerical study to estimate the unknown parameters of the TB model with seasonal fluctuations according to demographic and epidemiological data from Cameroon. Simulation results are in good accordance with the seasonal variation of the new active reported cases of TB in Cameroon. Using this TB model with seasonality, the tuberculosis control is formulated …
Linear Stability Analysis With Solution Patterns Due To Varying Thermal Diffusivity For A Convective Flow In A Porous Medium, Dambaru Bhatta
Linear Stability Analysis With Solution Patterns Due To Varying Thermal Diffusivity For A Convective Flow In A Porous Medium, Dambaru Bhatta
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
Here we investigate the effect of the vertical rate of change in thermal diffusivity due to a hydrothermal convective flow in a horizontal porous medium. The continuity equation, the heat equation and the momentum-Darcy equation constitute the governing system for the flow in a porous medium. Assuming a vertically varying basic state, we derive the linear system and from this linear system, we compute the critical Rayleigh and wave numbers. Using fourth-order Runge-Kutta and shooting methods, we obtain the marginal stability curves and linear solutions to analyze the solution pattern for different diffusivity parameters.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The paper is devoted to studying a Pál-type interpolation problem on the roots of Ultraspherical polynomials of degree n-1 with parameter k+1 on the closed interval -1 to 1. The aim of this paper is to find a unique interpolatory polynomial of degree at most m equal to 2n+2k+1 satisfying the interpolatory conditions that is, function values of the polynomial of degree m at the zeros of the function values of the ultraspherical polynomials and the first derivative values of the polynomial of degree m at the zeros of the first derivative values of the ultraspherical polynomials.We will use the …
Numerical Study Of Singular And Delta Shock Solutions Using A Large Time Step Method, Ilija Jegdic
Numerical Study Of Singular And Delta Shock Solutions Using A Large Time Step Method, Ilija Jegdic
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
We illustrate recently proposed large time step method for hyperbolic conservation laws. In the scalar case, it was proved earlier that if the approximate solutions converge boundedly, then they converge to the entropy solution. The main goal of this paper is to consider the large time step method for several systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. We compute approximate solutions to Riemann problems for three genuinely nonlinear one-dimensional systems (the Keyfitz-Kranzer system, the isentropic generalized Chaplygin gas dynamics equations, and the isentropic gas dynamics equations for polytropic gases with vanishing pressure). Besides approximating solutions that contain shocks and rarefaction waves, the …
Study Of Transport Of Nanoparticles With K-L Model Through A Stenosed Microvessels, Rekha Bali, Nivedita Gupta
Study Of Transport Of Nanoparticles With K-L Model Through A Stenosed Microvessels, Rekha Bali, Nivedita Gupta
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This paper studies a constitutive equation for blood with the transport of nanoparticles in a stenosed microvessel. The flow of blood through a bell-shaped stenosed micro blood vessel has been investigated with an importance of permeable walls that treats blood as non-Newtonian fluid by using K-L model. This model is more appropriate than other non-Newtonian models because K-L model involve three parameters such as plasma viscosity, yield stress and one other chemical variable while casson model involves only one parameter i.e. yield stress. In the present paper, the effective longitudinal diffusion of nanoparticles has been studied in stenosed blood vessel …
Restricted Three-Body Problem Under The Effect Of Albedo When Smaller Primary Is A Finite Straight Segment, Shipra Chauhan, Dinesh Kumar, Bhavneet Kaur
Restricted Three-Body Problem Under The Effect Of Albedo When Smaller Primary Is A Finite Straight Segment, Shipra Chauhan, Dinesh Kumar, Bhavneet Kaur
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This paper addresses the dynamics of the infinitesimal body in the restricted three-body problem under the effect of Albedo when the smaller primary is a finite straight segment and bigger one is a source of radiation. The measure of diffusive reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation received by a body is Albedo which is measured on a scale from 0 to 1. The equations of motion of the infinitesimal body are derived and it is found that there exist five libration points, out of which three are collinear and the rest are non-collinear with the primaries. …

Creating A Computational Tool To Simulate Vibration Control For Piezoelectric Devices, Ahmet Ozkan Ozer, Emma J. Moore
Posters-at-the-Capitol
Piezoelectric materials have the unique ability to convert electrical energy to mechanical vibrations and vice versa. This project takes a stab to develop a reliable computational tool to simulate the vibration control of a novel “partial differential equation” model for a piezoelectric device, which is designed by integrating electric conducting piezoelectric layers constraining a viscoelastic layer to provide an active and lightweight intelligent structure. Controlling unwanted vibrations on piezoelectric devices (or harvesting energy from ambient vibrations) through piezoelectric layers has been the major focus in cutting-edge engineering applications such as ultrasonic welders and inchworms. The corresponding mathematical models for piezoelectric …
The Compensation For Few Clusters In Clustered Randomized Trials With Binary Outcomes, Lily Stalter
The Compensation For Few Clusters In Clustered Randomized Trials With Binary Outcomes, Lily Stalter
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
Cluster randomized trials are increasingly popular in epidemiological and medical research. When analyzing the data from such studies it is imperative that the hierarchical structure of the data be taken into account. Multilevel logistic regression is used to analyze clustered data with binary outcomes. Previous literature shows that a greater number of clusters is more important than a large number of subjects per cluster. This paper investigates if it is possible to compensate for the increased bias found for parameter estimates when the number of clusters is decreased. A simulation study was conducted where the absolute percent relative bias for …
Divisibility In The Stone-Cech Compactification Of N, Salahddeen Khalifa
Divisibility In The Stone-Cech Compactification Of N, Salahddeen Khalifa
Dissertations
Let S a discrete semigroup. The associative operation on S extends naturally to an associative operation on βS,the Stone Cech compactification of S. This involves both topology and algebra and leads us to think how to extend properties and operations that are defined on S to βS. A good application of this is the extension of relations and divisibility operations that are defined on the discrete semigroup of natural numbers (N,.) with multiplication as operation to relations and divisibility operations that are defined on (βN,?) where (?) is the extension of the operation (.). In this research I studied extending …

Reaction Simulations: A Rapid Development Framework, Brendan Drake Donohoe
Shared Knowledge Conference
Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs) are a popular tool in the chemical sciences for providing a means of analyzing and modeling complex reaction systems. In recent years, CRNs have attracted attention in the field of molecular computing for their ability to simulate the components of a digital computer. The reactions within such networks may occur at several different scales relative to one another – at rates often too difficult to directly measure and analyze in a laboratory setting. To facilitate the construction and analysis of such networks, we propose a reduced order model for simulating such networks as a system of …

Two Applications Of High Order Methods: Wave Propagation And Accelerator Physics, Oleksii Beznosov
Shared Knowledge Conference
Numerical simulations of partial differential equations (PDE) are used to predict the behavior of complex physics phenomena when the real life experiments are expensive. Discretization of a PDE is the representation of the continuous problem as a discrete problem that can be solved on a computer. The discretization always introduces a certain inaccuracy caused by the numerical approximation. By increasing the computational cost of the numerical algorithm the solution can be computed more accurately. In the theory of numerical analysis this fact is called the convergence of the numerical algorithm. The idea behind high order methods is to improve the …

Translation Theorems For The Fourier-Feynman Transform On The Product Function Space C2 A,B, [0,T], Seung Jun Chang, Jae Gil Choi, David Skoug
Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
In this article, we establish the Cameron{Martin translation theo- rems for the analytic Fourier{Feynman transform of functionals on the product function space C2 a;b[0; T]. The function space Ca;b[0; T] is induced by the gener- alized Brownian motion process associated with continuous functions a(t) and b(t) on the time interval [0; T]. The process used here is nonstationary in time and is subject to a drift a(t). To study our translation theorem, we introduce a Fresnel-type class Fa;b A1;A2 of functionals on C2 a;b[0; T], which is a generaliza- tion of the Kallianpur and Bromley{Fresnel class FA1;A2 . We then …

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications
There is a growing awareness of the important roles that microbial communities play in complex biological processes. Modern investigation of these often uses next generation sequencing of metagenomic samples to determine community composition. We propose a statistical technique based on clique loglinear models and Bayes model averaging to identify microbial components in a metagenomic sample at various taxonomic levels that have significant associations. We describe the model class, a stochastic search technique for model selection, and the calculation of estimates of posterior probabilities of interest. We demonstrate our approach using data from the Human Microbiome Project and from a study …

Purpose: Unruptured cerebral aneurysms pose a dilemma for physicians who need to weigh the risk of a devastating subarachnoid hemorrhage against the risk of surgery or endovascular treatment and their complications when deciding on a treatment strategy. A prediction model could potentially support such treatment decisions. The aim of this study was to develop and internally validate a model for aneurysm rupture based on hemodynamic and geometric parameters, aneurysm location, and patient gender and age. Methods: Cross-sectional data from 1061 patients were used for image-based computational fluid dynamics and shape characterization of 1631 aneurysms for training an aneurysm rupture probability …

Background and purpose Vertebrobasilar dolichoectatic and fusiform aneurysms (VBDAs) are known to have a poor natural history, with high rates of growth, rupture, and stroke. The purpose of this study was to identify hemodynamic characteristics that differ between VBDAs associated with growth, rupture, and stroke. Materials and methods VBDAs with CT angiography or MR angiography followed longitudinally without treatment were studied. Unstable aneurysms were defined as those that grew or ruptured during follow-up. Aneurysms associated with stroke were defined as those associated with posterior circulation infarct at follow-up. Baseline data, including demographics, comorbidities, and aneurysm morphology and size were collected. …

A Mathematical Framework On Machine Learning: Theory And Application, Bin Shi
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The dissertation addresses the research topics of machine learning outlined below. We developed the theory about traditional first-order algorithms from convex opti- mization and provide new insights in nonconvex objective functions from machine learning. Based on the theory analysis, we designed and developed new algorithms to overcome the difficulty of nonconvex objective and to accelerate the speed to obtain the desired result. In this thesis, we answer the two questions: (1) How to design a step size for gradient descent with random initialization? (2) Can we accelerate the current convex optimization algorithms and improve them into nonconvex objective? For application, …
On The Qualitative Theory Of The Nonlinear Parabolic P-Laplacian Type Reaction-Diffusion Equations, Roqia Abdullah Jeli
On The Qualitative Theory Of The Nonlinear Parabolic P-Laplacian Type Reaction-Diffusion Equations, Roqia Abdullah Jeli
Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation presents full classification of the evolution of the interfaces and asymptotics of the local solution near the interfaces and at infinity for the nonlinear second order parabolic p-Laplacian type reaction-diffusion equation of non-Newtonian elastic filtration ut − ( |ux| p−2 ux ) x +buβ = 0, p > 1, β > 0. (1) Nonlinear partial differential equation (1) is a key model example expressing competition between nonlinear diffusion with gradient dependent diffusivity in either slow (p > 2) or fast (1 < p < 2) regime and nonlinear state dependent reaction (b > 0) or absorption (b < 0) forces. If interface is finite, it may expand, shrink, or remain stationary as a result of the competition of the diffusion and reaction terms near the interface, expressed in terms of the parameters p, β,sign b, and asymptotics of the initial function near its support. In the fast diffusion regime strong domination of the diffusion causes infinite speed of propagation and interfaces are absent. In all cases with finite interfaces we prove the explicit formula for the interface and the local solution with accuracy up to constant coefficients. We prove explicit asymptotics of the local solution at infinity in all cases with infinite speed of propagation. The methods of the proof are generaliii ization of the methods developed in U.G. Abdulla & J. King, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 32, 2(2000), 235-260; U.G. Abdulla, Nonlinear Analysis, 50, 4(2002), 541-560 and based on rescaling laws for the nonlinear PDE and blow-up techniques for the identification of the asymptotics of the solution near the interfaces, construction of barriers using special comparison theorems in irregular domains with characteristic boundary curves.

Well-Posedness For The Cubic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations On Tori, Haitian Yue
Doctoral Dissertations
This thesis studies the cubic nonlinear Sch\"rodinger equation (NLS) on tori both from the deterministic and probabilistic viewpoints. In Part I of this thesis, we prove global-in-time well-posedness of the Cauchy initial value problem for the defocusing cubic NLS on 4-dimensional tori and with initial data in the energy-critical space $H^1$. Furthermore, in the focusing case we prove that if a maximal-lifespan solution of the cubic NLS \, $u: I\times\mathbb{T}^4\to \mathbb{C}$\, satisfies $\sup_{t\in I}\|u(t)\|_{\dot{H}^1(\mathbb{T}^4)}
Inexact And Nonlinear Extensions Of The Feast Eigenvalue Algorithm, Brendan E. Gavin
Inexact And Nonlinear Extensions Of The Feast Eigenvalue Algorithm, Brendan E. Gavin
Doctoral Dissertations
Eigenvalue problems are a basic element of linear algebra that have a wide variety of applications. Common examples include determining the stability of dynamical systems, performing dimensionality reduction on large data sets, and predicting the physical properties of nanoscopic objects. Many applications require solving large dimensional eigenvalue problems, which can be very challenging when the required number of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is also large. The FEAST algorithm is a method of solving eigenvalue problems that allows one to calculate large numbers of eigenvalue/eigenvector pairs by using contour integration in the complex plane to divide the large number of desired pairs …

Signal Flow Graph Approach To Efficient Dst I-Iv Algorithms, Sirani M. Perera
Sirani Mututhanthrige Perera
In this paper, fast and efficient discrete sine transformation (DST) algorithms are presented based on the factorization of sparse, scaled orthogonal, rotation, rotation-reflection, and butterfly matrices. These algorithms are completely recursive and solely based on DST I-IV. The presented algorithms have low arithmetic cost compared to the known fast DST algorithms. Furthermore, the language of signal flow graph representation of digital structures is used to describe these efficient and recursive DST algorithms having (n1) points signal flow graph for DST-I and n points signal flow graphs for DST II-IV.
Bifurcation Analysis Of Two Biological Systems: A Tritrophic Food Chain Model And An Oscillating Networks Model, Xiangyu Wang
Bifurcation Analysis Of Two Biological Systems: A Tritrophic Food Chain Model And An Oscillating Networks Model, Xiangyu Wang
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In this thesis, we apply bifurcation theory to study two biological systems. Main attention is focused on complex dynamical behaviors such as stability and bifurcation of limit cycles. Hopf bifurcation is particularly considered to show bistable or even tristable phenomenon which may occur in biological systems. Recurrence is also investigated to show that such complex behavior is common in biological systems.
First we consider a tritrophic food chain model with Holling functional response types III and IV for the predator and superpredator, respectively. Main attention is focused on the sta- bility and bifurcation of equilibria when the prey has a …
