Creator:: Ramirez, Jorge, Moghimi, Saeed, Restrepo, Juan M., and Venkataramani, Shankar
Abstract:: We propose a time dependent Eulerian model for sea surface entrainment, buoyancy transport and droplet dynamics of ocean oil. The model captures the microscale vertical oil mass exchanges in the neighborhood of the sea surface. This model is in turn part of an oil fate model designed to capture oil...

Abstract:: This paper is included in the Proceedings, Part 1, of the International Conference on Computational Science 2009 (ICCS 2009) held in Baton Rouge, LA, USA, May 25-27, 2009.

Creator:: Ruktanonchai, Nick W., DeLeenheer, Patrick, Tatem, Andrew J., Alegana, Victor A., Caughlin, T. Trevor, zu Erbach-Schoenberg, Elisabeth, Lourenço, Christopher, Ruktanonchai, Corrine W., and Smith, David L.
Abstract:: Humans move frequently and tend to carry parasites among areas with endemic malaria and into areas where local transmission is unsustainable. Human-mediated parasite mobility can thus sustain parasite populations in areas where they would otherwise be absent. Data describing human mobility and malaria epidemiology can help classify landscapes into parasite...

Creator:: Molaei, Goudarz, Thomas, Michael C., Muller, Tim, Medlock, Jan, Shepard, John J., Armstrong, Philip M., and Andreadis, Theodore G.
Abstract:: Background: Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) virus (Togaviridae, Alphavirus) is a highly pathogenic mosquito-borne zoonosis that is responsible for occasional outbreaks of severe disease in humans and equines, resulting in high mortality and neurological impairment in most survivors. In the past, human disease outbreaks in the northeastern U.S. have occurred intermittently...

Creator:: Trykozko, Anna, Peszynska, Malgorzata, and Dohnalik, Marek
Abstract:: The ability to evaluate the effective permeability of proppant packs is useful in predicting the efficiency of hydraulic fracture installations. In this paper we propose a computational approach combining microimaging data from X-ray computed microtomography, the simulations of flow at pore-scale, and an upscaling process which identifies the effective model...

Creator:: Bogley, William A. and Williams, Gerald
Abstract:: We study a class of two-generator two-relator groups, denoted J[subscript n](m, k), that arise in the study of relative asphericity as groups satisfying a transitional curvature condition. Particular instances of these groups occur in the literature as finite groups of intriguing orders. Here we find infinite families of non-elementary virtually...

Creator:: Koslicki, David, Chatterjee, Saikat, Shahrivar, Damon, Walker, Alan W., Francis, Suzanna C., Fraser, Louise J., Vehkaperä, Mikko, Lan, Yueheng, and Corander, Jukka
Abstract:: Motivation: Estimation of bacterial community composition from high-throughput sequenced 16S rRNA gene amplicons is a key task in microbial ecology. Since the sequence data from each sample typically consist of a large number of reads and are adversely impacted by different levels of biological and technical noise, accurate analysis of...

Creator:: Manogue, Corinne A., Copeland, Ed, and Dray, Tevian
Abstract:: Anderson and DeWitt considered the quantization of a massless scalar field in a spacetime whose spacelike hypersurfaces change topology and concluded that the topology change gives rise to infinite particle and energy production. We show here that their calculations are insufficient and that their propagation rule is unphysical. However, our...

Creator:: Showalter, R. E.
Abstract:: A mixed initial and boundary value problem is considered for a partial differential equation of the form Muₜ(x, t)+Lu(x, t)=0, where M and L are elliptic differential operators of orders 2 m and 2l, respectively, with m ≤ l. The existence and uniqueness of a strong solution of this equation...
