Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS/AMI/GMU/China Institute Distinguished Visitor Lecture
May 12, 2010
University of Alberta
We first discuss the scale invariance and electromagnetic modeling at nano-scale. For 3D time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations and 3D time-dependent Maxwell’s equations in composite materials, we presented the multi-scale asymptotic expansions and...

7th Annual Mathematical Biology Workshop: Mathematics of Biological Systems
May 11–21, 2010
University of Alberta
This ten-day workshop, held in early May each year, is designed to introduce approximately 20 undergraduates to the subject of mathematical biology and to give them the tools needed to continue research in mathematical biology. It is the only...

Bayesian Methodologies Seminar: Bayesian Knowledge Representations & the Fusion of Knowledge from Multiple (Conflicting) Sources
May 11, 2010
University of Regina
Graphical models that represent knowledge and uncertainty such as Bayesian networks are popular approaches due to their strong probabilistic semantics and oftentimes intuitive decision modeling capabilities. In this talk, we will examine such...
Scientific, Summer School
Mathematics for Biological Networks
May 10 – June 2, 2010
University of Victoria
The course will focus on models of neuronal networks and infectious diseases on networks. The first half of the course will introduce deterministic models of infectious diseases, then proceed to network models. Some case studies of particular...

PIMS/AMI/GMU Seminar
May 10, 2010
University of Alberta
Morphogens (ligands) are molecular substances synthesized at some localized source and bound to cell surface receptors and other molecules as they are transported away from their source. The concentration gradients of different morphogen-receptor...
Scientific, Conference
Pacific North West Number Theory Conference 2010
May 8–9, 2010
Simon Fraser University
The Pacific North West Number Theory Conference is an annual number theory conference bringing together the number theory groups from western Canada and the northwestern United States. See http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/~nbruin/pnwntc2010.

Scientific, Conference
Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting
May 7–9, 2010
Banff, Alberta
Research and development in linear algebra include theory, algorithm design, and applications in several disciplines. There is an unusual strength in this subject area among the PIMS universities. This has been fostered by the biennial WCLAM meetings...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS/AMI/GMU/China Institute Distinguished Visitor Lecture
May 7, 2010
University of Alberta
Multi-scale asymptotic methods are investigated for the parabolic equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients arising from heat transfer in composite or porous media. For the dual-phase-lag heat transfer model in composite media, we first applied...
