Habitat loss is a key component driving decreases in biodiversity and the extinction of species worldwide. Of particular concern is human-driven habitat loss, primarily through agriculture, resource extraction, and urbanization. In this talk, I will...

Gliomas are the most prevalent, aggressive, and invasive subtype of primary brain tumors, characterized by fast cell growth, strong invasion capability, and well-developed tumor vasculature. Their growth and migration in the brain is a highly complex...

Transient dynamics are referred to as those dynamics that happen on ecologically relevant timescales, in which classical modelling techniques often fail to capture. Due to the ever-changing environments and ecosystems, increased interest has been...

The nonlinear incidence mechanism is a more general disease transmission mechanism to fit the data in clinical observations or laboratory experiments. In a heterogeneous environment, how to describe the cognitive dispersal of individuals is also an...

The Riemann zeta function plays a central role in our understanding of the prime numbers. In this talk we will review some of its amazing properties as well as properties of other similar functions, the Dirichlet L-functions. We will then see how the...

We prove the agent’s choice will be a locally Lipschitz function of their type in the subclass of principal-agent problems considered by Figalli, Kim, and McCann (2011). Our approach is based on the construction of a suitable comparison potential...

Humans are affecting the planet in diverse ways. One of those that receives scant attention is the effect that chemicals are having on life. In this talk, I will use data from my lab on a variety of animal models, including invertebrates and...

Consider two finitely generated field extensions K and L of the same transcendence degree over some base field F. Suppose these extensions become isomorphic over F after adjoining some variables. Does this imply that K isalready isomorphic to L over...

We introduce p-adic cellular neural networks, a mathematical generalization of cellular neural networks. These networks have infinite cells with a hierarchy structure and hidden layers. We discuss two types of p-adic CNNs: one for grayscale image...

The workshop is intended to mathematicians who are contest coordinators or who are interested in joining us. The objectives are to share experiences and have discussions on: - organizing training sessions in all participating cities as well as...
