A Migration Analysis Of Demographic Transitions In The Upper-Midwest From 2006-2010, Andrew Brick
A Migration Analysis Of Demographic Transitions In The Upper-Midwest From 2006-2010, Andrew Brick

Rural communities in the Upper-Midwest are essential for contributions to agriculture, oil and development of economic networks to larger towns and cities. Concerning rural population stability and transitions, this research study aims to discover complex migration flows by constructing specified groups of Upper-Midwest regions (i.e., Bakken oil, Taconite iron, high agriculture, developing area of rural depopulation and Interstate 94). Research questions on migrant distributions will be answered by investigating (in-) and (out-) flow data by demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender and ethnicity) on a county-to-county level. By weighing total demographic populations, a more accurate representation of migration trends called Crude …
Mathematical Modeling And Simulation Of Multialleic Migration-Selection Models, Chad N. Vidden
Mathematical Modeling And Simulation Of Multialleic Migration-Selection Models, Chad N. Vidden
Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato
Population ecology is concerned with the growth and decay of specific populations. This field has a variety of applications ranging from evolution and survival at the environmental level to the spread of infectious disease at the cellular and molecular levels. Many ecological circumstances require the use of mathematical methods and reasoning in order to acquire better knowledge of the issue at hand. This study considered and analyzed multiple different mathematical models of population dynamics along with their purposes. This foundation was then applied in order to explore the migration of populations from one isolated region to another along with the …
Coexistence Of Multi-Allelic Polymorphism With Migration And Selection, Andrew Flick
Coexistence Of Multi-Allelic Polymorphism With Migration And Selection, Andrew Flick
Journal of Undergraduate Research at Minnesota State University, Mankato
Population ecology is concerned with the growth patterns of populations. This field has many applications, ranging from survival at the environmental level, to the spread of infectious diseases at the cellular level. Mathematical modeling and computer simulation can be powerful tools in researching this area. I will be investigating the spatial patterns in populations (or gene frequencies) due to migration and selection. My research conditions are for the maintenance of polymorphism under a variety of migration schemes in discrete-space and continuous-time mathematical models. The results will be applicable from the ecological level to the molecular level. Some species are better …
