In 2001, the ACM and IEEE Computing Curriculum stated that it was necessary to address "the need to develop implementation models that are international in scope and could be practiced in universities around the world." With increasing connectivity through the internet, the move towards a global economy and growing use of technology places software internationalization as a more important concern for developers. However, there has been a "clear shortage in terms of numbers of trained persons applying for entry-level positions" in this area. Eric Brechner, Director of Microsoft Development Training, suggested …

When Is The Numerical Range Of A Nilpotent Matrix Circular?, Valentin Matache, Mihaela Teodora Matache 2010 University of Nebraska at Omaha

When Is The Numerical Range Of A Nilpotent Matrix Circular?, Valentin Matache, Mihaela Teodora Matache

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The problem formulated in the title is investigated. The case of nilpotent matrices of size at most 4 allows a unitary treatment. The numerical range of a nilpotent matrix M of size at most 4 is circular if and only if the traces tr M∗M2 and tr M∗M3 are null. The situation becomes more complicated as soon as the size is 5. The conditions under which a 5×5nilpotent matrix has circular numerical range are thoroughly discussed.


Subclinical Myocardial Necrosis And Cardiovascular Risk In Stable Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Evaluation, W.H. Wilson Tang, Yuping wu, Stephen J. Nicholls, Danielle M. Brennan, Michael Pepoy, Shirley Mann, Alan Pratt, Frederick Van Lente, Stanley L. Hazen 2010 Lerner Research Institute

Subclinical Myocardial Necrosis And Cardiovascular Risk In Stable Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Evaluation, W.H. Wilson Tang, Yuping Wu, Stephen J. Nicholls, Danielle M. Brennan, Michael Pepoy, Shirley Mann, Alan Pratt, Frederick Van Lente, Stanley L. Hazen

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Objective— The presence of subclinical myocardial necrosis as a prodrome to longer-term adverse cardiac event risk has been debated. The debate has focused predominantly within patients with acute coronary syndrome, and on issues of troponin assay variability and accuracy of detection, rather than on the clinical significance of the presence of subclinical myocardial necrosis (ie, “troponin leak”) within stable cardiac patients. Herein, we examine the relationship between different degrees of subclinical myocardial necrosis and long-term adverse clinical outcomes within a stable cardiac patient population with essentially normal renal function. Methods and Results— Sequential consenting patients (N=3828; median creatinine clearance, 100 …


Incompressibility And Global Inversion, Eduardo C. Balreira 2010 Trinity University

Incompressibility And Global Inversion, Eduardo C. Balreira

Mathematics Faculty Research

Given a local diffeomorphism ƒ : ℝn → ℝn, we consider certain in- compressibility conditions on the parallelepiped Dƒ(x) ([0, 1]n) which imply that the pre-image of an affine subspace is non-empty and has trivial homotopy groups. These conditions are then used to establish criteria for ƒ to be globally invertible, generalizing in all dimensions the previous results of M. Sabatini.


Lie Algebroid Structures On Double Vector Bundles And Representation Theory Of Lie Algebroids, Alfonso Gracia-Saz, Rajan Amit Mehta 2010 University of Toronto

Lie Algebroid Structures On Double Vector Bundles And Representation Theory Of Lie Algebroids, Alfonso Gracia-Saz, Rajan Amit Mehta

Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications

A VB-algebroid is essentially defined as a Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. There is a one-to-one correspondence between VB-algebroids and certain flat Lie algebroid superconnections, up to a natural notion of equivalence. In this setting, we are able to construct characteristic classes, which in special cases reproduce characteristic classes constructed by Crainic and Fernandes. We give a complete classification of regular VB-algebroids, and in the process we obtain another characteristic class of Lie algebroids that does not appear in the ordinary representation theory of Lie algebroids.


A Sharp Diameter Bound For Unipotent Groups Of Classical Type Overℤ /Pℤ, Jordan S. Ellenberg, Julianna Tymoczko 2010 University of Wisconsin

A Sharp Diameter Bound For Unipotent Groups Of Classical Type Overℤ /Pℤ, Jordan S. Ellenberg, Julianna Tymoczko

Mathematics Sciences: Faculty Publications

The unipotent subgroup of a finite group of Lie type over a prime field Fp comes equipped with a natural set of generators; the properties of the Cayley graph associated to this set of generators have been much studied. In the present paper, we show that the diameter of this Cayley graph is bounded above and below by constant multiples of np + n2 log p, where n is the rank of the associated Lie group. This generalizes the result of Ellenberg, A sharp diameter bound for an upper triangular matrix group, Harvard University, 1993, which treated the case of …

Application Of Combinatorial Structures To Key Predistribution In Sensor Networks And Traitor Tracing., Sushmita Ruj Dr.

Doctoral Theses

From time immemorial people have used cryptography for secure communication. Cryptography has decided the fate of many kings and queens as well as the outcome of various wars. It has become all the more important nowadays, with the growing need of electronic communication. We now live in a society where electronic networks pervade all aspects of our professional and private lives. We all use cryptography when we do bank transfers by ATM, or SWIFT, while using the mobile phones and i-phones, SSL protocols or using password protected machines. Though electronic communication is fast and easy, it is vulnerable to security …


Doubly Connected Minimal Surfaces And Extremal Harmonic Mappings, Tadeusz Iwaniec, Leonid V. Kovalev, Jani Onninen 2010 Syracuse University and University of Helsinki

Doubly Connected Minimal Surfaces And Extremal Harmonic Mappings, Tadeusz Iwaniec, Leonid V. Kovalev, Jani Onninen

Mathematics - All Scholarship

The concept of a conformal deformation has two natural extensions: quasiconformal and harmonic mappings. Both classes do not preserve the conformal type of the domain, however they cannot change it in an arbitrary way. Doubly connected domains are where one first observes nontrivial conformal invariants. Herbert Groetzsch and Johannes C. C. Nitsche addressed this issue for quasiconformal and harmonic mappings, respectively. Combining these concepts we obtain sharp estimates for quasiconformal harmonic mappings between doubly connected domains. We then apply our results to the Cauchy problem for minimal surfaces, also known as the Bjorling problem. Specifically, we obtain a sharp estimate …


Oxygen Regulates The Effective Diffusion Distance Of Nitric Oxide In The Aortic Wall, Xiaoping Liu, Parthasarathy Srinivasan, Eric Collard, Paula Grajdeanu, Kevin Lok, Sarah E. Boyle, Avner Friedman, Jay L. Zweier 2010 Ohio State University

Oxygen Regulates The Effective Diffusion Distance Of Nitric Oxide In The Aortic Wall, Xiaoping Liu, Parthasarathy Srinivasan, Eric Collard, Paula Grajdeanu, Kevin Lok, Sarah E. Boyle, Avner Friedman, Jay L. Zweier

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) is critical in maintaining vascular tone. Accumulating evidence shows that NO bioavailability is regulated by oxygen concentration. However, it is unclear to what extent the oxygen concentration regulates NO bioavailability in the vascular wall. In this study, a recently developed experimental setup was used to measure the NO diffusion flux across the aortic wall at various oxygen concentrations. It was observed that for a constant NO concentration at the endothelial surface, the measured NO diffusion flux out of the adventitial surface at [O2] = 0 μM is around fivefold greater than at [O2] = 150 μM, …
