Nonlinear Least Squares 3-D Geolocation Solutions Using Time Differences Of Arrival, Michael V. Bredemann

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

This thesis uses a geometric approach to derive and solve nonlinear least squares minimization problems to geolocate a signal source in three dimensions using time differences of arrival at multiple sensor locations. There is no restriction on the maximum number of sensors used. Residual errors reach the numerical limits of machine precision. Symmetric sensor orientations are found that prevent closed form solutions of source locations lying within the null space. Maximum uncertainties in relative sensor positions and time difference of arrivals, required to locate a source within a maximum specified error, are found from these results. Examples illustrate potential requirements …

Modeling The Effects Of Passive Immunity In Birds For The Disease Dynamics Of West Nile Virus, Noelle West, Vinodh K. Chellamuthu

Spora: A Journal of Biomathematics

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus that circulates among birds but also affects humans. Migrating birds carry these viruses from one place to another each year. WNV has spread rapidly across the continental United States resulting in numerous human infections and deaths. Several studies suggest that larval mosquito control measures should be taken as early as possible in a season to control the mosquito population size. Also, adult mosquito control measures are necessary to prevent the transmission of WNV from mosquitoes to birds and humans. To better understand the effective strategy for controlling affected larvae mosquito population, we …

Storage Management Strategy In Mobile Phones For Photo Crowdsensing, En Wang, Zhengdao Qu, Xinyao Liang, Xiangyu Meng, Yongjian Yang, Dawei Li, Weibin Meng

Department of Computer Science Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

In mobile crowdsensing, some users jointly finish a sensing task through the sensors equipped in their intelligent terminals. In particular, the photo crowdsensing based on Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) collects pictures for some specific targets or events and uploads them to nearby edge servers, which leads to richer data content and more efficient data storage compared with the common mobile crowdsensing; hence, it has attracted an important amount of attention recently. However, the mobile users prefer uploading the photos through Wifi APs (PoIs) rather than cellular networks. Therefore, photos stored in mobile phones are exchanged among users, in order to …

Teaching And Learning Of Fluid Mechanics, Ashwin Vaidya

Department of Mathematics Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Fluid mechanics occupies a privileged position in the sciences; it is taught in various science departments including physics, mathematics, environmental sciences and mechanical, chemical and civil engineering, with each highlighting a different aspect or interpretation of the foundation and applications of fluids. Doll’s fluid analogy [5] for this idea is especially relevant to this issue: “Emergence of creativity from complex flow of knowledge—example of Benard convection pattern as an analogy—dissipation or dispersal of knowledge (complex knowledge) results in emergent structures, i.e., creativity which in the context of education should be thought of as a unique way to arrange information so …

Studies Of Oval Tube And Fin Heat Exchangers, Phillip Nielsen

Discovery Day - Prescott

Heating Ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) is a system which changes the temperature of the surroundings for the purposes of cooling or heating. This system requires energy to maintain a temperature difference from the outside temperature. This is important since minimized power is one of the requirements for the system to achieve a better efficiency. Optimizing the flow over the evaporator coils is one way to increase the cooling efficiency. This will reduce the power required to have a sustainable system. Optimizing the flow to increase the energy transfer between the fins and the incoming air could result in a greater …

Mitigating Safety Concerns And Profit/Production Losses For Chemical Process Control Systems Under Cyberattacks Via Design/Control Methods, Helen Durand, Matthew Wegener

Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Faculty Research Publications

One of the challenges for chemical processes today, from a safety and profit standpoint, is the potential that cyberattacks could be performed on components of process control systems. Safety issues could be catastrophic; however, because the nonlinear systems definition of a cyberattack has similarities to a nonlinear systems definition of faults, many processes have already been instrumented to handle various problematic input conditions. Also challenging is the question of how to design a system that is resilient to attacks attempting to impact the production volumes or profits of a company. In this work, we explore a process/equipment design framework for …

D-Vine Copula Model For Dependent Binary Data, Huihui Lin, N. Rao Chaganty

College of Sciences Posters

High-dimensional dependent binary data are prevalent in a wide range of scientific disciplines. A popular method for analyzing such data is the Multivariate Probit (MP) model. But the MP model sometimes fails even within a feasible range of binary correlations, because the underlying correlation matrix of the latent variables may not be positive definite. In this research, we proposed pair copula models, assuming the dependence between the binary variables is first order autoregressive (AR(1))or equicorrelated structure. Also, when Archimediean copula is used, most paper converted Kendall Tau to corresponding copula parameter, there is no explicit function of Pearson’s correlation coefficient …

Scale-Invariance Ideas Explain The Empirical Soil-Water Characteristic Curve, Edgar Daniel Rodriguez Velasquez, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

The prediction of the road's properties under the influence of water infiltration is important for pavement design and management. Traditionally, this prediction heavily relied on expert estimates. In the last decades, complex empirical formulas have been proposed to capture the expert's intuition in estimating the effect of water infiltration on the stiffness of the pavement's payers. Of special importance is the effect of water intrusion on the pavement's foundation -- known as subgrade soil. In this paper, we show that natural scale-invariance ideas lead to a theoretical explanation for an empirical formula describing the dependence between soil suction and water …

Modeling Predator–Prey Interaction In A Two Patch System, Marc Wade

UCARE: Research Products

In this study we examine predator-prey relationships in the context of a two patch system. What is meant by a two patch system is that prey live in a habitat that consists of type 1 patches with an abundance of food and type 2 patches with no food. In our study, we will be assuming that predators cannot enter the first type of patch. We combine three well-established ecological theories: migration theory, optimal foraging theory, and the standard predator-prey model in order to answer the motivating question: "Under what environmental conditions is a predator population stable when predation can only …

Analysis Of An Ode Model For Sea Turtle Populations With Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination, Lindsey A. Ukishima

Student Publications

The sex of green sea turtles is determined by the temperature at which the eggs are incubated. Recent studies have shown that the sex ratios of sea turtle populations have changed over recent years, likely due to climate change, which has produced a more female-biased population. This paper finds the nonzero equilibrium point of the novel system developed by Herrera et a. (2019) and attempts to determine the stability of the population at that point.

Admissible connections of the results mentioned in this article to those associated with previously established familiar fractional integral operators have been pointed out.

Ruscheweyh-Goyal Derivative Of Fractional Order, Its Properties Pertaining To Pre-Starlike Type Functions And Applications, Ritu Agarwal, G. S. Paliwal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The study of the operators possessing convolution form and their properties is considered advantageous in geometric function theory. In 1975 Ruscheweyh defined operator for analytic functions using the technique of convolution. In 2005, Goyal and Goyal generalized the Ruscheweyh operator to fractional order (which we call here Ruscheweyh-Goyal differential operator) using Srivastava-Saigo fractional differential operator involving hypergeometric function. Inspired by these earlier efforts, we discuss the properties of the Ruscheweyh-Goyal derivative of arbitrary order. We define a class of pre-starlike type functions involving the Ruscheweyh-Goyal fractional derivative and obtain the inclusion relation. Further, we prove that Ruscheweyh-Goyal derivative operator preserve …

In addition, we study Ulam-Hyer’s (UH) type stability result. At the end, we present two examples to show the effectiveness of the obtained analytical results.

Non-Uniform Haar Wavelet Method For Solving Singularly Perturbed Differential Difference Equations Of Neuronal Variability, Akmal Raza, Arshad Khan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A non-uniform Haar wavelet method is proposed on specially designed non-uniform grid for the numerical treatment of singularly perturbed differential-difference equations arising in neuronal variability.We convert the delay and shift terms using Taylor series up to second order and then the problem with delay and shift is converted into a new problem without the delay and shift terms. Then it is solved by using non-uniform Haar wavelet. Two test examples have been demonstrated to show the accuracy of the non-uniform Haar wavelet method. The performance of the present method yield more accurate results on increasing the resolution level and converges …
