Why Growth Of Cancerous Tumors Is Gompertzian: A Symmetry-Based Explanation, Pedro Barragan Olague, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

It is known that the growth of a cancerous tumor is well described by the Gompertz's equation. The existing explanations for this equation rely on specifics of cell dynamics. However, the fact that for many different types of tumors, with different cell dynamics, we observe the same growth pattern, make us believe that there should be a more fundamental explanation for this equation. In this paper, we show that a symmetry-based approach indeed leads to such an explanation: indeed, out of all scale-invariant growth dynamics, the Gompertzian growth is the closest to the linear-approximation exponential growth model.

Fuzzy Data Processing Beyond Min T-Norm, Andrzej Pownuk, Vladik Kreinovich, Songsak Sriboonchitta

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Usual algorithms for fuzzy data processing -- based on the usual form of Zadeh's extension principle -- implicitly assume that we use the min "and"-operation (t-norm). It is known, however, that in many practical situations, other t-norms more adequately describe human reasoning. It is therefore desirable to extend the usual algorithms to situations when we use t-norms different from min. Such an extension is provided in this paper.

What Is The Best Way To Add Large Number Of Integers: Number-By-Number As Computers Do Or Lowest-Digits-Than-Next-Digits-Etc As We Humans Do?, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

When we need to add several integers, computers add them one by one, while we usually add them digit by digit: first, we add all the lowest digits, then we add all next lowest digits, etc. Which way is faster? Should we learn from computers or should we teach computers to add several integers our way?

In this paper, we show that the computer way is faster. This adds one more example to the list of cases when computer-based arithmetic algorithms are much more efficient than the algorithms that we humans normally use.

Yes- And No-Gestures Explained By Symmetry, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In most cultures, "yes" is indicate by a vertical head movement (nod), while "no" is indicated by a left-right movement (shake). In this paper, we show that basic symmetries can explain this cultural phenomenon.

Fuzzy Pareto Solution In Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making With Intuitionistic Linguistic Preference Relation, Bui Cong Cuong, Vladik Kreinovich, Le Hoang Son, Nilanjan Dey

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In this paper, we investigate the multi criteria group decision making with intuitionistic linguistic preference relation. The concept of Fuzzy Collective Solution (FCS) is used to evaluate and rank the candidate solution sets for modeling under linguistic assessments. Intuitionistic linguistic preference relation and associated aggregation procedures are then defined in a new concept of Fuzzy Pareto Solution. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate computing procedures. The results affirm efficiency of the proposed method.

Exact Asymptotic Errors Of The Hazard Conditional Rate Kernel For Functional Random Fields, Abbes Rabhi, Sara Soltani

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We consider the problem of nonparametric estimation of the kernel type estimators for the conditional cumulative distribution function and the successive derivatives of the conditional density for spatial data. More precisely, given a strictly stationary random field Z = (X, Y), we investigate a kernel estimate of the conditional hazard function of univariate response variable Y given the functional variable X. The principal aim of this paper is to give the mean squared convergence rate of the proposed estimator. Finally, we apply these theoretical results to the estimation of the conditional hazard function where we give the mean squared convergence …

Complex Solutions Of The Time Fractional Gross-Pitaevskii (Gp) Equation With External Potential By Using A Reliable Method, Nasir Taghizadeh, Mona N. Foumani

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, modified (G'/G )-expansion method is presented to establish the exact complex solutions of the time fractional Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation in the sense of the conformable fractional derivative. This method is an effective method in finding exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NLEEs) in mathematical physics. The present approach has the potential to be applied to other nonlinear fractional differential equations. Based on two transformations, fractional GP equation can be converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equation of integer orders. In the end, we will discuss the solutions of the fractional GP equation with external potentials.

Modeling And Optimizing Of Strategic/Tactical Production Planning Problems, Naresh Gupta Uppala

All Theses

Satisfying customer demand at an optimal cost is the most important concern forthe high-level management of every company. This dissertation details i) thedevelopment of a strategic/tactical model for the distribution of productionresponsibilities to different sites/factories and ii) the design of an inter-area logistics flowensuring demand satisfaction, by consider the production capabilities of each site, whileminimizing the total costs of production output. A mixed integer program, which includesthe supply of raw materials and the distribution of finished products in the respectivemarkets, was proposed to manage this production problem. This concept encompassedtwo case studies: the first involved a scenario in which setup …

Regional Anesthesia Introduced Into An Emergency/Trauma, Jennifer Bryant Covalt

Doctoral Projects

Emergency rooms across the United States have an incredibly large number of shoulder dislocations that need to be manipulated and reset on a daily basis. A cost-benefit analysis in this Doctor of Nursing Practice Project will demonstrate a new form of care for shoulder dislocations in the emergency room with certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) providing regional anesthesia with local lidocaine injections into the shoulder joint. A level II trauma center in Mississippi with many shoulder dislocations was the location that was used to evaluate conscious sedation, length of procedure, and pain scores. A retrospective chart review was performed at …

The Class Action As Trust, Sergio J. Campos

Washington Law Review

The class action is controversial because the class attorney can litigate or settle the claims of the class members without their consent. Many scholars have turned to corporate law to address the potentially disloyal behavior of the class attorney. These scholars have used analogies to corporate law to support (1) the use of opt-out rights and (2) restrictions on class conflicts to constrain class attorneys, and the law has generally mirrored both requirements. In practice, however, both of these requirements have undermined the efficacy of the class action and prevented the class action from being used in many appropriate settings. …
