An Exposition On Prostate Cancer Dynamics: A History And Exploration Of Cancer Growth Models, Walter Navarro
An Exposition On Prostate Cancer Dynamics: A History And Exploration Of Cancer Growth Models, Walter Navarro
Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations
The detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer are the primary objectives of the field of mathematical oncology. Our goal is to examine the history of mathematical oncology by introducing the models that have influenced it. From this vantage point, we examine five primary models that focus on the progression of prostate cancer and the development of treatment protocols at different stages. The Ideta model will be further elaborated upon by examining the effects of androgen deprivation therapy and the addition of chemotherapy on growth dynamics. Finally, clinical data will be utilized to verify the Vollmer and Humphrey model’s findings. We …
An Algorithm For Facial Expression Recognition To Assist Handicapped Individuals With Eating Disabilities, Anthony Rudolph De La Loza
An Algorithm For Facial Expression Recognition To Assist Handicapped Individuals With Eating Disabilities, Anthony Rudolph De La Loza
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this thesis is to describe an algorithm and implement a software system based upon facial expression recognition that will accurately determine the specific need of a handicapped individual pertaining to the eating process. Then based upon that need, determine the appropriate action that should be executed. This thesis aims to present a solution to allow a special needs individual to eat more efficienty and foster independence, while providing a platform for further research in the area of feature detection to assist individuals with special needs.
Cellular Automata Rules Generator For Microbial Communities, Melissa Marie Quintana
Cellular Automata Rules Generator For Microbial Communities, Melissa Marie Quintana
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this project is to provide a visual representation as program output so that the rules and the radius of effect can be estimated. Currently there is a need for a method that extracts the cellular automata rules which simulate the growth patterns of microbial communities found within extreme environments. Contains source code.

To Live And Die In Ca, Jane Frances Curnutt
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis investigates the nature of elementary cellular automata to better understand their relationship of the models they support to the biological organisms that create the mats and soil crusts found in extreme environments here on earth. Cellular automata have been used to study growth and patterns in forests, arid desert environments, predator-prey problems, and sea shells. It has also been used to study areas of diverse epidemiology and linguistics. Cellular automata have been used as the core of computer games as well. This investigation has led to develop a graphical grammar for simple cellular automata, using L-systems, a grammar …
