Abstract We present recent work on cooperative non-linear optics where the non- linearity is mediated not directly by the interaction between light and matter, but indirectly by dipole-dipole interactions between light induced excitations. For the...

Continuation of the introductory talk, started two weeks ago, on the main results of class field theory, with examples.

We invite you to participate in the 2012 PIMS-MPrime-CDM Summer School on Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alberta. This is the continuation of summer school series organized Centre on Disease Modeling (CDM) team...

Abstract: Multiphase flows are ubiquitous in chemical, mineral processing, food processing and materials processing industries. Our traditional approach has been to ignore fluid dynamical effects by invoking simplifying assumptions of homogeneity...

Abstract: Water resources worldwide require management to meet industrial, agricultural, and urban consumption needs. Management actions change the natural flow regime, which impacts the river ecosystem. Water managers are tasked with meeting water...

Abstract: The inverse algebraic approximation is addressed and established in the Jacobi-weighted Sobolev and Besov spaces. With the inverse approximation of algebraic polynomials, we investigate the inverse approximation of the finite element...

Abstract Cholera is still prevalent in some parts of the world and its dynamics are not fully understood. I will present two models which incorporate the idea of a minimum infectious dose into the transmission term. The second model also includes the...

Abstract We present models to address two major issues surrounding bee-pollinated crops: (1) the movement of transgenic pollen and (2) the collapse of honeybee colonies. Both issues are inextricably tied to bee movement, and thus solutions can only...

Given the vast amount of fieldwork data that exists for tropical plant and tree communities, it is of foremost interest to develop a mechanistic model to describe plant population dynamics. Since tropical forests not only have a large number of...
