Background
A number of college presidents have endorsed the Amethyst Initiative, a call to consider lowering the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). Our objective is to forecast the effect of the Amethyst Initiative on college drinking.
Methods
A system model of college drinking siumlates MLDA changes through (1) a decrease in heavy episodic drinking (HED) due to the lower likelihood of students drinking in unsupervised settings where they model irresponsible drinking (misperception), and (2) an increase in overall drinking among currently underage students due to increased social availability of alcohol (wetness).
Results
For the proportion of HEDs on campus, effects …

Fast Algorithms For Brownian Dynamics Simulation With Hydrodynamic Interactions, Zhi Liang
Dissertations
In the Brownian dynamics simulation with hydrodynamic interactions, one needs to generate the total displacement vectors of Brownian particles consisting of two parts: a deterministic part which is proportional to the product of the Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa (RPY) tensor D [1, 2] and the given external forces F; and a hydrodynamically correlated random part whose covariance is proportional to the RPY tensor. To be more precise, one needs to calculate Du for a given vector u and compute √Dv for a normally distributed random vector v. For an arbitrary N-particle configuration, D is a 3N x 3N matrix and u, v are …

Analytical And Computational Methods For The Study Of Rare Event Probabilities In Dispersive And Dissipative Waves, Daniel S. Cargill
Dissertations
The main focus of this dissertation is the application of importance sampling (IS) to calculate the probabilities associated with rare events in nonlinear, large-dimensional lightwave systems that are driven by noise, including models for fiber-based optical communication system and mode-locked lasers. Throughout the last decade, IS has emerged as a valuable tool for improving the efficiency of simulating rare events in such systems. In particular, it has shown great success in simulating various sources of transmission impairments found in optical communication systems, with examples ranging from large polarization fluctuations resulting from randomly varying fiber birefringence to large pulse-width fluctuations resulting …

Locust Dynamics: Behavioral Phase Change And Swarming, Chad M. Topaz, Maria R. D'Orsogna, Leah Edelstein-Keshet, Andrew J. Bernoff

Locusts exhibit two interconvertible behavioral phases, solitarious and gregarious. While solitarious individuals are repelled from other locusts, gregarious insects are attracted to conspecifics and can form large aggregations such as marching hopper bands. Numerous biological experiments at the individual level have shown how crowding biases conversion towards the gregarious form. To understand the formation of marching locust hopper bands, we study phase change at the collective level, and in a quantitative framework. Specifically, we construct a partial integrodifferential equation model incorporating the interplay between phase change and spatial movement at the individual level in order to predict the dynamics of …

Nested (2,R)-Regular Graphs And Their Network Properties., Josh Daniel Brooks
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A graph G is a (t, r)-regular graph if every collection of t independent vertices is collectively adjacent to exactly r vertices. If a graph G is (2, r)-regular where p, s, and m are positive integers, and m ≥ 2, then when n is sufficiently large, then G is isomorphic to G = Ks+mKp, where 2(p-1)+s = r. A nested (2,r)-regular graph is constructed by replacing selected cliques with a (2,r)-regular graph and joining the vertices of the peripheral cliques. For …

Global Domination Stable Graphs, Elizabeth Marie Harris
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A set of vertices S in a graph G is a global dominating set (GDS) of G if S is a dominating set for both G and its complement G. The minimum cardinality of a global dominating set of G is the global domination number of G. We explore the effects of graph modifications on the global domination number. In particular, we explore edge removal, edge addition, and vertex removal.
