▼ The dynamic relationship between competing ecological systems has long been and will continue to be one of vital topics in both ecology and mathematical ecology because of its importance and universal existence. Mathematical modeling has become an effective tool to model and simulate the dynamic system, providing decision makers with strategy recommendations. Although a great amount of previous work has attempted to model the biological mechanisms including dispersal, only rarely has there been a systematic investigation on different spatial effects. The author introduces spatial games as a modeling approach with different constructions towards different dynamic systems in order to benefit from the systematic research on spatial dynamics when studying the competing ecological systems. This research developed models of two systems: (1) two-spotted spider mite prey-predator system; (2) tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and west flower thrips (WFT) vector-borne disease system. For two-spotted spider mite system, the author presented four spatial mathematical models as well as a novel spatial game model to describe the spatial movement of two competing species. For the TSWV-WFT system, a spatial game was introduced to describe the spatial dynamics of adult thrips and the novel model was validated with experimental data. The author also gave suggestions for efficiently controlling the vector-borne disease by performing sensitivity analysis towards parameters. The major contribution of this research is to introduce spatial games as a tool to describe the dynamic schemes in ecological systems. Compared to a traditional dynamic model, a spatial game model is more expressive and informative. This approach uses a payoff function and a movement probability function that can be adjusted based on habits, characteristics and mobility schemes of different competing entities, which has enriched its modeling power. The methodology and modeling approach used in this dissertation can be applied to other competing species dynamic systems, and have a broad impact on research areas related to mathematical ecology, biology modeling, epidemiology, pest control, vector-borne disease control, and ecological decision-making processes.

Late Miocene (11-5 Ma) is a crucial period for Asian monsoon evolution. Significant changes of both the India and East Asian monsoons in this period have been documented in geological records. In this study, a high-resolution regional climate model COSMO-CLM driven by a fully coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model ECHAM5/MPI-OM is employed to investigate the monsoon climate change in the early Late Miocene (i.e. Tortonian) and its mechanisms. Our results suggest a generally weaker (stronger) summer (winter) monsoon circulation over East Asia and India in the Tortonian than today. The monsoon rainfall changes, however, might have exhibited great regional differences. The modern-like monsoonal climate may have existed in southern China and India in the Tortonian, while the monsoonal climate in northern China and northwestern India may have not fully developed at that time. Sensitivity experiments with different orographic configurations in our regional model shows that different from the effect of the uplift of the entire Asian orography (i.e. bulk mountain uplift) which strengthens both the Indian and East Asian summer monsoons (ISM and EASM), the diachronous growth of different part of the Asian orography (i.e. regional mountain uplift) can lead to an asynchronous development of the ISM and EASM. While the ISM is primarily intensified by the presence of the southern TP (Zagros Mountains) due to its thermal insulation (mechanical blocking) effect, the EASM is mainly strengthened by the presence of the central and northern TP and the Tianshan Mountains owing to their strong diabatic heating effect. Such effects offer explanations to the asynchronous development of the ISM and EASM during the Middle Miocene (15 Ma), the Late Miocene (8 Ma) and Pliocene (4 Ma). In addition to the mean monsoon climate, the interannual variability of the ISM in the Late Miocene is also explored by analyzing our model experiments for the Tortonian. It reveals that the interannual variability of the ISM in the Late Miocene may have been as strong as, or even stronger than at present. This can be attributed to the strong El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) at that time. In addition, the extratropical influence, such as summer North Atlantic Oscillation, on the ISM might have been weak. This may have facilitated a stronger ENSO-ISM teleconnection in the Late Miocene. We note that although the Late Miocene Asian monsoon climate is strongly influenced by regional tectonic changes (e.g. the lower northern TP), it still exhibits great resemblance to that projected under the future global warming conditions. Better knowledge and model simulations on the Late Miocene monsoon climate may provide useful constraints on the prediction of the future Asian monsoon changes.

▼ The current study proposed a new model, termed the cross-classified multiple membership latent variable regression (CCMM-LVR) model, to be utilized for multiple membership data structures (for example, in the presence of student mobility across schools) that provides an extension to the three-level latent variable regression model (HM3-LVR). The HM3-LVR model is beneficial for testing more flexible, directional hypotheses about growth trajectory parameters and handles pure clustering of participants within higher-level units. However, the HM3-LVR model involves the assumption that students remain in the same cluster (school) throughout the duration of the time period of interest. The CCMM-LVR model, on the other hand, appropriately models the participants’ changing clusters over time. The first purpose of this study was to demonstrate use and interpretation of the CCMM-LVR model and its parameters with a large-scale longitudinal dataset that had a multiple membership data structure (i.e., student mobility). The impact of ignoring mobility in the real data was investigated by comparing parameter estimates, standard error estimates, and model fit indices for the two estimating models (CCMM-LVR and HM3-LVR). The second purpose of the dissertation was to conduct a simulation study to try to understand the source of potential differences between the two estimating models and find out which model’s estimates were closer to the truth given the conditions investigated. The manipulated conditions in the simulation study included the mobility rate, number of clustering units, number of individuals (i.e., students) per cluster (here, school), and number of measurement occasions per individual. The outcomes investigated in the simulation study included relative parameter bias, relative standard error bias, root mean square error, and coverage rates of the 95% credible intervals. Substantial bias was found across conditions for both models, but the CCMM-LVR model resulted in the least amount of relative parameter bias and more efficient estimates of the parameters, especially for larger numbers of clustering units. The results of the real data and simulation studies are discussed, along with the implications for applied researchers for when to consider using the CCMM-LVR model versus the misspecified HM3-LVR model.

Mathematical modeling in biological sciences is an interdisciplinary scientific research field. Mathematical modeling in developmental process has earned new respect and plays a key role in all domains of science and eventually provided fresh insight into biological sciences too. Models serve as a tool to develop, to validate hypothesis made from experimental data and there by gaining new knowledge about biological processes. In this work, an attempt is made to prepare mathematical model for the water treatment, bone transplantation, blood flow and orientation of erythrocytes in biological systems under varied boundary conditions. Especially in water treatment and bone grafting nano materials and methods are introduced. newlineThe present thesis is spread over into five chapters. newlineChapter one provides brief general introduction to the mathematical modeling and their importance, mathematical modeling in biological sciences, need of mathematical models, general modeling strategy, modeling objectives, model classifications, modeling advantages, benefits, limitations, fluids, nano materials and scope of present study are described. The field of mathematical biology is growing rapidly. Mathematical modeling plays an important and often indispensable role in biological sciences because it serves as a crucial link between the concept and realization of a biological circuit newlineChapter two focuses the finite element analysis of blood flow and application of pressure in the human thumb and applications in disease invention. The human thumb has direct link with brain, pituitary gland, pineal gland, mental nerves, head nerves, neck etc. In particular point, the thumb pressure is applied on a particular part and stimulates and activates. The finite element models to analyze the blood perfusion and heat transport in the human thumb were developed based on the transport theory in porous media with applying of pressure. The blood pressure and velocity at particular time were first computed and corresponding values for the thumb were subseq

▼ A combination of time series models and causal search algorithms is applied to the foreign exchange markets to find causal linkages between the six most widely traded currencies (Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, euro, Great Britain pound sterling, Japanese yen, and United States dollar). This information is used in portfolio management to improve risk management, to visualize the causal connections between currencies, and enhance the forecasting ability of time series models. In the first section, a method is presented that decomposes portfolio risk so that risk contributions sum to the total portfolio???s risk. This decomposition is based upon a market???s underlying independent risk factors, which are found empirically using a causal search algorithm based on independent component analysis. In an application, independent risk contributions are constrained during portfolio optimizations, and the internal risk characteristics of the resulting portfolios are shown to be superior to those constructed using more traditional constraints. In the second section, three causal search algorithms are used to identify causal relationships amongst the six most widely traded currencies in the years 2009-2011. The intent is to discover causal relationships within each year and to observe how these causal relationships change over time. The causal relationships are presented as directed acyclic graphs, and these are relatively stable over time. There might be, however, latent variables that affect the six most widely traded currencies. In the third section, probability forecasts of the Swiss franc/euro (CHF/EUR) exchange rate from three different time series models are generated before, surrounding, and after the placement of a floor on the CHF/EUR exchange rate by the Swiss National Bank. The goal is to determine whether the exchange rate floor has a positive, negative, or insignificant affect on the calibration of the probability forecasts. Forecasts from the models are ranked with score metrics, and a graphical d-separation criterion is used in an attempt to identify the preferred model based on forecast performance. The study finds evidence that the floor on the CHF/EUR has a negative impact on the forecasting performance of the three time series models. Advisors/Committee Members: Bessler, David A (advisor).

▼ During auditory language comprehension, bottom-up acoustic cues in the sensory signal are critical to the recognition of spoken words. However, listeners are also sensitive to higher-level processing; in general, identification of ambiguous targets is biased by prior expectations (e.g., words over non-words, contextually consistent words over inconsistent words). Although it is clear that such top-down cues influence word recognition, how they do so is less clear. The present work examines several questions about the computational principles underlying top-down effects on speech perception, focusing primarily on the influence of a preceding sentential context (e.g., Valerie hated the... vs. Brett hated to...) on the identification of phonetically ambiguous targets from voice-onset time continua (e.g., between bay and pay). Chapter 1 considers a longstanding debate: do top-down effects result from interactive modulation of perceptual processing or from entirely autonomous, decision-level processing? Some research has suggested that the time course of top-down effects is incompatible with interactive models. However, two experiments illustrate that, with appropriate controls, the predictions of interactive models are supported. Ultimately, though, two weaknesses of existing spoken word recognition models (whether interactive or autonomous) are that they ignore the role of sentential context and that they ignore the enormous variability in the size of top-down effects. To address these gaps, Chapter 2 introduces BIASES (short for Bayesian Integration of Acoustic and Sentential Evidence in Speech), a newly developed computational model of speech perception. Chapter 3 demonstrates BIASES’ ability to predict and explain fine-grained variability and asymmetries in both novel experimental data and in previously published work. Finally, Chapter 4 employs BIASES to examine top-down processing in patients with aphasia. Model-based analysis of previously published data and new data utilizing stimuli from Chapter 1 suggest that patients experience both bottom-up processing deficits and lexical processing deficits. Importantly, those impairments differ as a function of patients’ clinical diagnoses. In sum, this work offers new insights into the computations occurring at the interface between the perceptual processing of speech and the cognitive and linguistic processing of language.

▼ Since 1998, the invasive insect amber-marked birch leaf miner (Profenusa thomsoni Konow.) has been an issue for the birch trees in Alaska's Anchorage Bowl. P. thomsoni is native to Europe and an invasive defoliator of birch trees; its impacts are considered aesthetically unpleasing to Anchorage residents. In this study, a spatial and temporal model was constructed using a cellular automata (CA) method. Employing the statistical program R (R Development Core Team 2008), coupled with a custom library called RandomFields (Schlather 2012) and linear regression techniques, a CA model was created. Using five years of field data gathered between 2006 and 2010 (Lundquist et al. 2012), the CA model mimics the observed change in severity of the infestation based upon the severity in the previous year and if the region was in an area that increased or decreased in severity. A voracity test was used to compare the CA model output for the time period of the observed field data; a sensitivity analysis on various input parameters was also implemented. The CA model simulated results were analyzed for the time period 1998 to 2018 and indicated that P. thomsoni may follow three primary phases: 1) expansion, 2) decline, and 3) equilibrium. The expansion phase demonstrated a six-year spatial spread cycle, which can be described as random, disjointed regions of high infestation that move about the landscape. The expansion phase may be the result of an abundance of host, lack of natural enemies, and no density-dependent factors. The declining phase is depicted as a decrease in severity at an increase rate. The declining phase is possibly due to the combination of density-dependent factors and natural enemies. The equilibrium phase is a possible product of long-term plant defenses. The development of this spatial and temporal predictive CA model will allow resource managers to be proactive in order to mitigate and manage the P. thomsoni infestation. In addition, this modeling method can be used to simulate other forest pests and pathogens at the landscape level.

▼ Spatial variations in salinity of pore waters in marine sediments provide useful information on processes and rates of subseafloor fluid flow and solute transport, particularly if there are evaporites in the section. Pore water salinities were determined for 18 drill holes which penetrated allochthonous salt bodies in 12 widely-scattered protraction blocks on the Louisiana offshore continental shelf and slope. Salinities were calculated from Log ASCII Standard-Logging While Drilling (LAS-LWD) logs using the Revil et al. (1998) dual-conductivity technique. The sites represent a wide range of field settings. Water depths range from 30 to 1990 m, depths to the top of salt from the seafloor range from 440 to 5200 m, and salt thicknesses range from 70 to 2000 m. Sediment ages above and below salt and approximate sedimentation rates were determined from Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) paleontological data and range from Miocene to Recent. Sites in eight blocks have concave downward salinity profiles above salt, consistent with transient molecular diffusive transport with possible compaction-driven flow. The salinity profiles were modeled using two scenarios: 1) salt was emplaced at its present depth, and molecular diffusion upward from the top of salt has been the sole solute transport mechanism; 2) salt was emplaced near the seafloor, and there has been progressive burial of salt with compaction-driven advective flow upward since. The time required by molecular diffusion alone tends to exceed the age of the sediments. A better fit in space and time is obtained on the assumption that sediment compaction is also a driving force. Salinities in two blocks increase upward, possibly reflecting lateral flow of brines from shallower salt. Salinities in the two remaining blocks are elevated but constant for distances of 500 to 1000 m above salt and may reflect ponding of brines derived from shallower salt. At sites where there is subsalt information, the salinity profiles are generally convex upward, reflecting probable diffusional transport downward. The results are consistent with an earlier LSU study which concluded that dominant mechanisms of vertical solute transport in deepwater Gulf of Mexico sediments include diffusion and compaction-driven advection.

▼ Peripheral neuropathies, affect approximately 20 million people in the United States and are often a complication of conditions such as diabetes that can result in amputation of affected areas such as the feet and toes. In vitro methodologies to facilitate the understanding and treatment of these disorders often lack the cellular and functional complexity required to accurately model peripheral neuropathies. In particular, they are often 2-D and functional readouts, such as electrical activity, are limited to cell bodies thereby limiting the understanding of axonopathy which often characterizes these disorders. We have developed a functional 3-D model of peripheral nerves using a capillary alginate gel (Capgel™), as a scaffold. We hypothesize that: 1) The unique microcapillary structure of Capgel™ allows for the modeling of the 3-D microstructure of the peripheral nerve, and 2) That axon bundling in the capillary allows for the detection of axonal electrical activity. In our initial studies, we demonstrate that culturing embryonic dorsal root ganglia (DRG) within the Capgel™ environment allows for the separation of cell bodies from axons and recreates many of the features of an in vivo peripheral nerve fascicle including myelinated axons and the formation of a rudimentary perineurium. To develop functionality for this model we have integrated the DRG Capgel™ culture with a microelectrode array to examine spontaneous activity in axon bundles, which we find demonstrates superiority to other widely used 2-D models of the same tissue. Furthermore, by analyzing the activity on individual electrodes, we were able to record action potentials from multiple axons within the same bundle indicating a functional complexity comparable to that observed in fascicles in vivo. This 3D model of the peripheral nerve can be used to study the functional complexities of peripheral neuropathies and nerve regeneration as well as being utilized in the development of novel therapeutics.

▼ Background Due to a lack of sanitary infrastructure and a highly susceptible population, Peru experienced a historic outbreak of Vibrio cholerae O1 that began in 1991 and generated multiple waves of disease for several years. Though case-fatality was low, the epidemic put massive strain on healthcare and governmental resources. Here we explore the transmission dynamics and spatiotemporal variation of cholera in Peru using mathematical models and statistical analyses that account for environmental conditions favoring the persistence of bacteria in the environment. Methods The authors use dynamic transmission models that incorporate seasonal variation in temperature, concentration of vibrios in the environment, as well as separate human and environmental transmission pathways. The model is fit to weekly department level data obtained from the cholera surveillance system in Peru. The authors also assess the spatial patterns of cholera transmission and correlations between case incidence, time of epidemic onset, and department level variables. Reproductive numbers are compared across departments. Results Our findings indicate that the epidemic first hit the coastal departments of Peru and later spread through the highlands and jungle regions. There was high seasonal variation in case incidence, with three clear waves of transmission corresponding to the warm seasons in Peru. Department level variables such as population size and elevation also played a role in transmission patterns. Finally, basic reproductive numbers most often ranged from one to eleven depending on department and time of year. Lima had the largest reproductive number, likely due to its population density and proximity to the coast. Conclusions Incorporating environmental variables into an epidemic model predicts the multiple waves of transmission characteristic of it{V. cholerae}, and effectively differentiates transmission patterns by geographic region even in the absence of unique parameter estimates. Mathematical models can provide valuable information about transmission patterns and should continue to be used to inform public health decision making.

▼ What materials designers most envy is nature’s building design. It has long been a dream for scientists to mimic and further engineer the behaviors, interactions, and reactions of biomolecules beyond experimental limits. To interpret and facilitate novel materials’ design, a hierarchical approach is presented in this dissertation. With the advent of molecular modeling, many biomolecular interactions can be studied. Using both computational and experimental approaches, we investigated the self-assembly of fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-conjugated dipeptides (which are called “biomimetic materials”) including Fmoc-dialanine (Fmoc-AA) and Fmoc-Alanine-Lactic acid (Fmoc-ALac) molecules. We simulated the assembly of Fmoc-dipeptides and compared with experiments. We illustrated not only the angstrom-scale self-assembled structures, but also a prevalent polyproline II conformation with β-sheet-like hydrogen bonding pattern among short peptides. Further, simulations to calculate the potential of mean force (PMF) and melting temperatures were performed to gain deeper insights into the inter-fibril interaction. An energetic preference for fibril-fibril surface contact was demonstrated for the first time, which arises from a fibril-level amphiphilicity. From our study, a hierarchical self-assembly process mediated by the balance between hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of fibril structures was unveiled. The next major topic in this dissertation involves the development of a chemically accurate polarizable multipole-based molecular mechanics model with the investigation of a series of chloromethanes. The ability of molecular modeling to make prediction is determined by the accuracy of underlying physical model. The traditional fixed-charge based force field is severely limited when applied to highly charged systems, halogen, phosphate and sulfate compounds. Via a sophisticated electrostatic model, an accurate description of electrostatics in organochlorine compounds and halogen bonds were achieved. Our model demonstrated its advantages by reproducing the experimental density and heat of vaporization; besides, the calculated hydration free energy, solvent reaction fields, and interaction energies of several homo- and heterodimer of chloromethanes were all in good agreement with experimental and ab initio data.

▼ Conventional hydrological models use a deterministic approach. One could think of it like a black box, having an input, parameters, relations and an output. The parameters are calibrated by comparing the model output with observations of the system response (for example river runoff). When assessing the uncertainty in models the focus is often on the parameter uncertainty and all other variables are considered to be true. Not taking into account all sources of uncertainty, results in unreliable knowledge about the parameter uncertainty. A method to include more sources of uncertainty is applying a probabilistic model. Using this model, all variables are described by probability distributions. In a spatially distributed model this allows for a spatial estimation of variables and their uncertainty in all model components. Due to the large amount of variables in a distributed model, the complexity of the exact solution of the probabilistic model increases. To be able to efficiently calculate an approximate solution, the probabilistic model is factorized and structured in a factor graph, a form of a probabilistic graph. A factor graph contains factors and variables, where the factors represent the relations between variables and physical knowledge while the variables represent the belief about the data. A factor graph is bipartite, which means that factors are only connected with variables and vice versa. Information propagates through the graph using message passing. This is a process where a factor updates each connected variable, based on a function of the other connected variables. If the graph has a tree structure, message passing starts at the highest level of the tree, progressing downward. This ensures that all information reaches the root of the tree. The process is then reversed in an upward sweep of message passing, propagating all gained knowledge also upstream. When approximations are used or when the tree contains cycles, multiple iterations (downward and upward sweeps) are needed for the variables to converge to their final value. The result is a posterior distribution of every variable in every cell. In this research, a probabilistic graph is applied on a distributed runoff accumulation model. In each cell of the model a local runoff is calculated based on the precipitation, evaporation and an unknown bias term (initiated by bias parameters), which are all represented by a Gaussian distribution. Using flow paths, derived from a Digital Elevation Model, the local runoff is accumulated into accumulated runoff. A physical positivity constraint is added to the accumulated runoff and forcing data to prevent negative values. Multiple runoff observations (Gaussian distributed) are added resulting in spatial estimations of accumulated runoff, local runoff and bias, and an updated belief about the precipitation and evaporation. The bias parameters which initiate the bias in each cell contain uncertainty as well, allowing the parameters to be updated given the data received from the model. After the solution has… Advisors/Committee Members: Schoups, G.H.W. (mentor), van de Giesen, N.C. (mentor), Heemink, A.W. (mentor).

▼ Fracture is largely a microstructure-based phenomenon, but for experimentalists, computational mechanicians, and fleet managers operating at the macroscale, this fact might seem inexplicable, inapplicable, or even inconsequential. The latter response is what the three chapters of this dissertation address. Together, they attempt to dispel the notion that microstructural effects do not translate in any useful way to the structural scale. They also present models which are verified and validated herein to ease this disconnect. These three chapters are individual papers submitted to refereed journals for publication. The paper in the first chapter appears in Engineering Fracture Mechanics (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2014.03.010). It generalizes the Park-PaulinoRoesler potential-based cohesive zone model to three-dimensions, a means to model fracture even under a high degree of mode-mixity at both the macro- and micro-scales. The generalization is validated against several material tests at the macroscale: T-Peel, MMB, ECT, and BDWT. Its ability to model intergranular fracture at the microscale is also explored. The paper in the second chapter fills a void in the Digital Twin community- it presents for the first time a straight-forward use case which both clarifies and motivates this new paradigm in fleet management. Specifically, ductile fracture is modeled in a non-standardized specimen which fails along one of two likely crack paths. This crack path ambiguity, the result of grain-size deviations in specimen geometry, underpins the importance of considering as-manufactured component geometry in the design, assessment, and certification of structural systems, a cornerstone of Digital Twin. It also highlights the limitations of a continuum plasticity damage model in resolving accurately this ambiguity particularly close to the bifurcation, on the order of a few grain sizes, and motivates the need to consider crack nucleation at the microscale. The paper in the third chapter demonstrates Digital Twin at the microscale. It details the implementation, verification, and validation of a microstructure-based, Digital Twin framework which accounts for the predominant microcrack nucleation mechanism in the nickel-based superalloy LSHR. Also included is an extensive grain boundary analysis, an investigation that would otherwise be impossible to conduct to any appreciable fidelity without the as-processed, Digital Twin microstructural model.
