Scientific, Seminar
Topology Seminar: Gorenstein dimension and proper actions
August 20, 2010
University of British Columbia
Gedrich and Gruenberg(1987)and Ikenaga(1984) studied the algebraic invariants silp ZG,the supremum of the injective lengths of the projective ZG-modules,and spli,the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective ZG-modules,in connection with...

Mathematical Biology Seminar: Synchronized Oscillation for Segmentation Clock Gene of Zebrafish
August 17, 2010
University of British Columbia
Somitogenesis is a process for the development of somites which are transient, segmental structures that lie along the anterior-posterior axis of vertebrate embryos. The pattern of somites is traced out by the ``segmentation clock genes" which...

New Trends in Noncommutative Algebra
August 10–14, 2010
University of Washington
The conference is in part a celebration of the past, present and future contributions to mathematics of Ken Goodearl. While the central connecting theme is noncommutative algebra, there will be coverage of the broad connections of this subject with...
Scientific, Conference
2010 Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry
August 9–11, 2010
University of Manitoba
The focus of the conference is on current topics in discrete and computational geometry, including both theoretical and applied results. CCCG has been held annually since 1989; as of 2010, CCCG will have been hosted at sixteen different Canadian...
Scientific, Summer School
West Coast Algebraic Topology Summer School
August 8–15, 2010
University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon
Participants and the organizing committee will give lectures, with plenty of time for other activities (exercise sessions, reading groups, impromptu lectures). There is no registration fee for this event, but we ask all who are interested in coming...

Summer School on Computer Models and Geophysical Risk Analysis
August 6–10, 2010
University of British Columbia
Short Course Date: August 6 and 7, 2010 Jerry Sacks (National Institute of Statistical Sciences) and Will Welch (UBC) will teach a two-day short course on the design and analysis of computer experiments and models. The aim of the short course is to...

Canadian Abstract Harmonic Analysis Symposium (CAHAS)
August 5–6, 2010
University of Saskatchewan
The Canadian Abstract Harmonic Analysis Symposium, known as CAHAS, began in 1997 with a meeting in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia. Since then, it has taken place on an annual basis at various locations throughout Canada. This year...
Scientific, Seminar
DG-MP-PDE Seminar: Revisiting an idea of Brezis and Nirenberg
August 5, 2010
University of British Columbia
Usually, a nonlinear functional involving the Sobolev exponent does not satisfy the Palais-Smale condition. However, Brezis and Nirenberg showed that under a threshold , the minimax value is in fact a critical value. In this talk, we should extend...
