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...

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...

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...

Observing a sample of random variables, we wish to decide whether or not some hypothesis about the distribution of the observed sample is correct. A decision procedure for such a problem is called a statistical test of the hypothesis under...

An emerging mechanism for intracellular organization is liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Found in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm, liquidlike droplets condense to create compartments that are thought to localize factors, such as RNAs and...

A revolution has been underway in wave physics in recent years based around concepts of resonance and microstructured media often coupled with periodicity. This has resulted in materials known as metamaterials that have, for instance, negative...

Population neuroimaging is devoted to the identification and modelling of brain development, maturation and aging by using a combination of neuroimaging with epidemiology and omics sciences, as applied in large cohorts and meta-analytical datasets...

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...
