  • Polynomial Chaos Expansions for Random Ordinary Differential Equations

    Creator:
    McKenzie, Brian
    Abstract:
    We consider numerical methods for finding approximate solutions to Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with parameters distributed with some probability by the Generalized Polynomial Chaos (GPC) approach. In particular, we consider those with forcing functions that have a random parameter in both the scalar and vector case. We then consider linear...

  • Modeling the Dynamics of Vector–host Interactions in Avian Communities: Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus as a Model System

    Creator:
    Muller, Timothy
    Abstract:
    Understanding the dynamics of seasonal epizootics of vector-borne pathogens infecting multiple host species presents several challenges. The transmission potential of competent hosts depends on factors influencing the contact rate between hosts and vectors. Feeding preferences of vectors can determine which host species drive the prevalence of infection throughout the overall...

  • A Ross-Macdonald Model with Vector Demography

    Creator:
    Reyes Grimaldo, Ricardo Noe Gerardo
    Abstract:
    Malaria is a vector-borne disease that has affected humans and other animals for a long time and which has shown high prevalence among different populations. During the beginning of the 20th century, Sir Ronald Ross and George Macdonald developed a model that represents the spread of malaria through the interaction...

  • Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

    Creator:
    Redle, Michael T.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

  • Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

    Creator:
    Goska, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

  • Stage-structured interactions and their consequences across levels of biological organization

    Creator:
    Segui, Leah Mupas
    Abstract:
    A central challenge for ecology is to understand the dynamic nature of species interactions. A classic approach to community ecology assumes that individuals within a species are functionally identical and that consumer-resource dynamics can be predicted solely by using species abundances. However, one species can consist of multiple functional groups,...

  • Numerical Analysis of a System of Parabolic Variational Inequalities with Application to Biofilm Growth

    Creator:
    Alhammali, Azhar S. A.
    Abstract:
    In this work we consider a mathematical and computational model for biofilm growth and nutrient utilization. In particular, we are interested in a model appropriate at a scale of interface. The model is a system of two coupled nonlinear diffusion--reaction partial differential equations (PDEs). One of these PDEs is subject...

  • Swept time-space domain decomposition on GPUs and heterogeneous computing systems

    Creator:
    Magee, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Modern scientific and engineering problems often require simulations with a level of resolution difficult to achieve in reasonable amounts of time—even in effectively parallelized programs. Therefore, applications that exploit high performance computing (HPC) systems have become invaluable in academia and industry over the past two decades. Addressing the questions that...

  • Optimizing HIV Treatment in Resource-Limited Settings

    Creator:
    Akudibillah, Gordon Amed
    Abstract:
    Apart from the traditional role of preventing progression from HIV to AIDS, antiretroviral drug therapy (ART) has an additional benefit of substantially reducing infectiousness, making them potentially an important strategy in the fight against HIV. Recent advances in drug therapy have also seen the use of antiretroviral drugs as a...

  • Multiscale modeling of two-phase flows in microarchitectures with microfeatures

    Creator:
    Truszkowska, Agnieszka
    Abstract:
    Two-phase flows in microtechnology based devices are purposefully present in multiphase reactors, phase separators, analytical devices and others. Two-phase flows can also be an undesirable side effect occurring during operation due to phase transitions or, more commonly, introduction of surrounding air through equipment gaps and with process feed. In both...
