Uv, Optical, And Infrared Imaging Of The Interacting Galaxy Arp 107 And Its Star Forming Regions., Ryen C. Lapham May 2011

Uv, Optical, And Infrared Imaging Of The Interacting Galaxy Arp 107 And Its Star Forming Regions., Ryen C. Lapham

Undergraduate Honors Theses

In this study we present GALEX UV, Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and Spitzer infrared imaging, along with an optical Hα map of the interacting galaxy pair Arp 107. IRAF photometry was used to analyze 29 star forming regions identified in previous work done with Spitzer colors. In this paper further analysis of the clumps of newly formed stars was done by creating Spectral Energy Distribution plots to sort the clumps as quiescent or starbursts. Color - color plots were used to estimate the ages and extinctions of the clumps by comparing magnitudes to stellar population synthesis models. Results seem to …


A Singular Perturbation Approach To The Fitzhugh-Nagumo Pde For Modeling Cardiac Action Potentials., Jeremy Brooks May 2011

A Singular Perturbation Approach To The Fitzhugh-Nagumo Pde For Modeling Cardiac Action Potentials., Jeremy Brooks

Undergraduate Honors Theses

The study of cardiac action potentials has many medical applications. Dr. Dennis Noble first used mathematical models to study cardiac action potentials in the 1960s. We begin our study of cardiac action potentials with one form of the Fitzhugh-Nagumo partial differential equation. We use the non-classical method to produce a closed form solution for the decoupled Fitzhugh Nagumo equation. Using voltage recording data of action potentials in a cardiac myocyte and in purkinje fibers, we estimate parameter values for the closed form solution with standard linear and non-linear regression methods. Results are limited, thus leading us to perturb the solution …
