A video of this event is available on The Pennsylvania Department of Correction operates 29 correctional facilities (prisons) and about 50,000 prisoners (inmates) each year. The assignments of inmates to appropriate correctional facilities is a...

Physical, geophysical, chemical, living and man-made systems often show behaviors that cannot be understood by studying their building blocks or constituents to ever finer detail but that are emergent. The concept of emergence can be summarized by...

The American Statistical Association (ASA) DataFest is a celebration of data in which teams of undergraduates work around the clock to find and share meaning in a large, rich, and complex data set. From March 29–31, undergraduate students from...

Chronic disease management often involves sequential decisions that have long-term implications. Those decisions are based on high dimensional information, which pose a problem for traditional modeling paradigms. In some key instances, the disease...

I shall first explain the concept of sparse solution of rectangular linear system. Algorithms such as L1 minimization and greedy strategy will be introduced for finding a sparse solution of underdetermined linear system. As an example, economic...

With advanced in computer and sensor technologies, large-scale data sets are now routinely generated and recorded from a wide range of sources in business, sciences, engineering, health care and medical research, etc. Although data-driven method...

In many fields such as medicine, engineering, economics and psychology, we often encounter a pooled population and its observations while the subpopulation identification is of interest but unobserved. For example, primary care physicians want to...

We establish rates of convergence of solutions to scaling (or similarity) profiles in a coagulation type system modelling submonolayer deposition. We prove that, although all memory of the initial condition is lost in the similarity limit...

Broad area Quantum Cascade Lasers (BA-QCLs) tend to oscillate on fewer transverse modes than the number which can be supported by the waveguide. In cases lasing is dominantly if not totally on a single high-order transverse mode, it leads to a well...

The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) invites the mathematical community to the 2016 CMS Summer Meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, from June 24-27. All meeting activities are taking place at University of Alberta (116 St & 85 Ave, Edmonton, AB T6G 2R3)...
