  • A mathematical model for differential thermal analysis

    Creator:
    Kaakinen, J. W.
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model of a differential thermal analysis (DTA) system was formulated so that influence of the various physical parameters on the DTA peak could be determined. The specific DTA apparatus simulated had cylindrical sample holes drilled into a nickel block considered to have a negligible thermal resistance, and the...

  • Mathematical knowledge for teaching proof

    Creator:
    Lesseig, Kristin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to detail mathematical knowledge that supports the work of teaching proof and to investigate how such knowledge is evidenced in professional development (PD). To advance the construct of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) in the context of proof, I developed a framework of MKT...

  • Modified limiting dilution analysis : a mathematical model with biological interpretation

    Creator:
    Maier, Stefan H.
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model of Limiting Dilution Analysis for two limiting parameters is presented and investigated. Limiting Dilution Analysis is a microbiological cell assay developed for immunological application. In the given case we deal with the interaction between B lymphocytes, macrophage derived factor and T-independent antigens. The state of the art...

  • Mathematical treatment and simulation of methane hydrates and adsorption models

    Creator:
    Medina, Francis Patricia
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation we develop mathematical treatment for two important applications: (i) evolution of methane in coalbeds with the associated phenomena of adsorption, and (ii) formation of methane hydrates in seabed. We use simplified models for (i) and (ii) since we are more interested in qualitative properties of the solutions...

  • Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

    Creator:
    Early, Jeffrey J.
    Abstract:
    The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

  • Reduced order multi-legged mathematical model of cockroach locomotion on inclines

    Creator:
    Peterson, Delvin E.
    Abstract:
    While the locomotion performance of legged robots over flat terrain or known obstacles has improved over the past few decades, they have yet to equal the performance of their animal counterparts over variable terrain. This work analyzes a multi-legged reduced order model of cockroach locomotion on variable slopes which will...

  • A mathematical model for capillary gas chromatography

    Creator:
    Stuart, Charles Edward, Jr.
    Abstract:
    In the study of gas chromatography a model is presented to simulate a capillary gas chromatographic system. The model was developed to study the concentrations of sample gas as a function of time and space as it travels through the capillary column. The molecular migration was approximated by elementary diffusion...

  • Analysis of fourth order numerical methods for the simulation of electromagnetic waves in dispersive media

    Creator:
    Henderson, Scott Edward
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we investigate the problem of simulating Maxwell's equations in dispersive dielectric media. We begin by explaining the relevance of Maxwell's equations to 21st century problems. We also discuss the previous work on the numerical simulations of Maxwell's equations. Introductions to Maxwell's equations and the Yee finite difference...

  • Three dimensional electromagnetic FDTD simulation of general lossy structures with nonuniform grid spacing

    Creator:
    Falconer, Maynard C.
    Abstract:
    A new second order accurate nonuniform grid spacing technique which does not depend on supraconvergence is developed for Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation of general three dimensional structures. The technique is useful for FDTD simulations of systems which require finer details in small regions of the simulation space by...
