A solution of the identifiability problem (IP) for hidden Markov models (HMMs), based on a novel algebraic theory for random sources, is presented. It gives rise to an efficient and practical algorithm that can be easily implemented. Extant...

An overview of the MITACS ACCELERATE Graduate Research Internship Program is given. This program connects companies with university researchers. Some examples of past internships will be given as well as the administrative details of how an...

Superlattice patterns and quasipatterns, while well-studied in waves on the surface of vertically vibrated viscous fluids (Faraday waves), have found little attention in forced oscillatory systems. We study such patterns, comprised of 4 or more...

Disjunctive programming is a classical technique for 0-1optimization in which a set of vertices of the hypercube is approximated by the convex hull of (carefully selected) polyhedra. Through the work of Lovasz, Schriver, Sherali and Adams, and others...

Recent experimental observations have revealed that during the onset of autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), different clones of T cells with various T cell avidities and protein specificities are naturally generated in diabetic animal models. One...

In this talk we present two stability results. Firstly we present a stability result for graphical, rotationally symmetric, translating solutions to mean curvature flow. There we obtain that for initial data that converge spatially at infinity to...

Calcium is a ubiquitous signaling molecule involved in the regulation of a wide range of processes. In cardiac cells, calcium plays a key role in mediating the electrical-excitation and contraction processes. Three mathematical models of calcium...

Primitive Feynman graphs in Phi^4 theory give rise to transcendental numbers which, from the work of people like David Broadhurst, are multiple zeta values in known examples. Very little is known in general. Even how to predict the weight of the zeta...
