How sweet is the land? Modeling caloric landscapes for tropical hummingbirds

Creator:: Birkett, Christina Nozomi and Birkett, Nozomi Fukui
Abstract:: Pollination is a critical ecosystem function for sustaining biodiversity. However, pollinators and the services they provide are threatened by landscape-altering anthropogenic activities across the globe. Habitat loss and fragmentation, introduction of invasive species, chemical use, and urbanization have been shown to impact pollination. Pollinator foraging behavior is thought to be...

A Sequential Operator Splitting Method for Electromagnetic Wave Propagation in Dispersive Media

Creator:: Bokil, Vrushali and Leung, Aubrey
Abstract:: In this report we consider the Debye model along with Maxwell's equations (Maxwell-Debye) to model electromagnetic wave propagation in dispersive media that exhibit orientational polarization. We construct and analyze a sequential operator splitting method for the discretization of the Maxwell-Debye system. Energy analysis indicates that the operator splitting scheme is...
