▼ The purpose of this study was to analyse factors inhibiting the learning of mathematical skills among pupils with hearing impairments. The objectives of the study were to identify mathematical skills taught to hearing impaired pupils in lower basic classes. The study further looked at the mode of communication used in the teaching of mathematical skills to hearing impaired pupils, establishing instructional strategies used and their impact on the learning of mathematical skills among pupils with hearing impairments. Assessment of the availability of educational resources and their suitability in the learning of mathematical skills among pupils with hearing impairments was also investigated. Four schools were randomly selected for investigation in 2006. The instruments used in the data collection included structured interviews, semi-structured interviews and observation schedule for the teachers of hearing impaired pupils and focus group discussion guide for pupils with hearing impairments. The collected data provided both qualitative and quantitative information.The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed to analyse the quantitative data. The data were presented in tables, percentages and charts. Qualitative data from interviews were coded and emerging themes were grouped into categories using constant comparative analysis technique.The results of the study revealed that there were inadequate specialized teachers to teach pupils with hearing impairments. The study also found out that pupils with hearing impairments faced a lot of problems in learning mathematical skills and these came about as a result of inadequate teaching and learning materials, lack of remedial work to help hearing impaired pupils improve in learning mathematical skills and seconded teachers who were not conversant with sign language. The factors inhibiting pupils with hearing impairments learn mathematical skills emanated from teachers' poor teaching strategies and non-availability of educational resources suitable in learning and teaching of mathematical skills among pupils with hearing impairments.The teacher is the key contributor to pupils' learning of mathematical skills and as such, take centre stage in the success or failure in acquiring and developing mathematical skills among pupils with hearing impairments. Further, the pupils' inhibiting factor of not learning mathematical skills was characterized by inadequate teaching skills from teachers, insufficient learning materials, failure of classroom communication, inadequate skills of sign language and the relationship between teachers and pupils. This was especially observed during the time of learning. The study recommended that schools where the hearing impaired pupils learn be provided with learning aids for them to grasp mathematical skills.Teachers of the hearing impaired pupils need to be adequately trained to be able to use different methods and strategies. Teachers must be conversant with sign language.

This dissertation studies the optimal allocation for conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. The optimal model defines economic principles which determine the spatial allocation of surface and groundwater, the level of conveyance expenditure, the level of on-farm investment in water conservation, and shadow prices of surface and groundwater. The static spatial model identifies the economic principles which govern water allocation for conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. Two models, seepage in the canal and seepage in the canal and on the field are considered. The optimal water allocation is examined with fixed on-farm investment in water conservation and with different canal loss rates. The static base model is extended to incorporate endogenous on-farm investment in water conservation and to consider the effect of the seepage rate on choice of technology, conveyance expenditure, water allocation and land rents. Analytical results are obtained for endogenous crop choice when land quality is homogeneous and shadow price of water is spatially increasing. The study compares the effects of heterogeneous land quality, changes in output price, pumping cost, uniform price for groundwater, and uniform prices for water such as the marginal cost of water generation at the source. The spatial dynamic model of conjunctive water use defines conditions which govern the intertemporal and spatial optimal allocation of water. Five important results are as follows: (i) When seepage is small, the conjunctive use model does not make a significant difference, and the surface water model is a good approximation of the conjunctive use model. (ii) Additional seepage from the field generates a positive externality to water consumers and the resulting optimal shadow price of water is less than the shadow price of the utility. (iii) An output price increase, heterogeneous land quality, and a fixed price for water generate huge aggregate land rents. (iv) Spatial inequity of land rents is worsened by heterogeneous land quality. (v) Temporal allocation of water resources is governed by the Hotelling rule variant similar to the optimal allocation rule for exhaustible resources.

The HJM framework was originally introduced for the modelling of the dynamics of the instantaneous forward rates in the fixed income market. This approach was later extended to the case with uncertainties described by a Gaussian random field, which is termed as the random field HJM model. In this thesis, this approach is extended and applied to both equity and credit markets. In each case, it is shown that how to yield a consistent condition such that the market is arbitrage-free or the market observables are martingales. In the first part, this approach is applied to the equity market. A unified framework is proposed for the joint modelling of an index and its local volatility surface. This model enables index and volatility derivatives to be priced consistently and reproduces empirical features of the equity market, including the strong negative correlation between the changes of SPX and VIX, any observed term structure of variance swap rates, and the volatility skews and term structures observed in SPX and VIX options. Starting from an initial collection of index options and their associated local volatility surface, it is shown in the framework of the HJM philosophy that how to construct the arbitrage-free evolution of this local volatility surface from a Gaussian random field. The relationship between the local volatility model and the variance rate model is also presented. In the end, it is shown that how to implement this model numerically by the Monte Carlo simulation and the finite difference method, and how to simultaneously calibrate to the prices of SPX options and VIX options across strikes and maturities. In the second part, this approach is applied to the credit market. Contagion credit and counterparty credit risks are two of the central topics in the credit risk management after the sub-prime crisis. Starting from a Gaussian random field, it is shown in the framework of the HJM philosophy that how to construct the dynamics of the conditional joint density of the default times given the risk-free market information via the change-of-measure technique. It is a top-down approach in the analysis of the contagion credit risk with multiple default events. In the same framework, the dynamics of the forward risk-free rate can also be described and a general pricing formula for credit products can be derived. Furthermore, this contagion model is applied to the pricing of the credit valuation adjustment by taking into account the unilateral or bilateral counterparty credit risk. The influence of the default of the counterparty on the underlying reference entity is considered so as to avoid the wrong-way risk in particular. Finally, the bilateral credit valuation adjustment for credit default swaps is illustrated through a numerical study.

The dispersion of inert pollutants over urban areas has been studied for a long time. However, the dispersion of chemically reactive pollutants is not well known. Nowadays, the popular research topics mainly focus on the phenomena of the pollutant dispersion over complicated city morphologies, but limited studies have attempted to explore the mechanism of reactive pollutant dispersion. In this thesis, the incompressible large eddy simulation (LES) coupled with chemical transport equations is developed to simulate the turbulent flows and the associated chemical reactions. The isothermal condition is applied to create the neutral stratification. The titration of ozone (O3) and the photolysis of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) take place in the computational domain filled with O3 of 1 ppm. The source of nitric oxide (NO) with the mixing ratio of 1 ppm, 10 ppm, 100 ppm or 1000 ppm is placed on the ground surface of the first street canyon. The idealized 2D street canyons are used so as to provide a parameterized description of the urban roughness, and the roughness is controlled by the aspect ratio (AR) of the building height to the street width with the range from 1 to 1/8. The results show that the physical parameters such as the friction factor, the Reynolds shear stress, and the turbulent kinetic energy increase significantly with decreasing AR from 1 to 1/8. However, the influence of the AR value to the turbulent timescales is limited to a relatively small range. Although the pollutant is actually emitted at the ground level, it is reasonable to assume that the pollutant is effectively emitted and reflected at the roof level when the plume of the pollutant dispersion in the roughness sublayer (RSL) are studied for idealized street canyon models with uniform buildings. The plume size analysis shows that the dispersion of nonreactive pollutants is enhanced by higher friction factors. However, based on the NO mixing ratio and the AR value, the available configurations with the ozone titration can be divided into group (A) and group (B), which are respectively characterised by the timescale ratios of NO and O3. In group (A), the NO dispersion is suppressed, but the NO2 dispersion is enhanced. In group (B), the NO dispersion is enhanced, while the NO2 dispersion keeps in line with nonreactive pollutants. For the more realistic NOx - O3 cycle, group (A) has similar relations as the ozone titration, but the NO and NO2 dispersions in group (B) are not significantly changed by chemical reactions. According to the similarity analysis, the findings in this study can be generalized to other situations with similar Damköhler numbers.

▼ Flows and pollutant dispersion over flat rural terrain have been investigated for decades. However, our understanding of their behaviours over urban areas is rather limited. Most cases have either focused on street level or in the roughness sub-layer (RSL) of urban boundary layer (UBL). Whereas, only a handful of studies have looked into the coupling between street-level and UBL-core dynamics, and their effects on pollutant dispersion. In this thesis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to examine the flows and pollutant transport in and over urban roughness. Idealised two-dimensional (2D) street canyons are used as the basic units fabricating hypothetical urban surfaces. A ground-level passive and chemically inert pollutant source is applied to simulate the flows and pollutant dispersion over rough surfaces in isothermal condition. Large-eddy simulation (LES) with the one-equation subgrid-scale model is used to solve explicitly the broad range of scales in turbulent flows. Arrays of idealized street canyons of both uniform and non-uniform building height are used to formulate a unified theory for the flows and pollutant dispersion over urban areas of different morphology. The geometry of roughness elements is controlled by the building-height-to-street-width (aspect) ratio (0.083 ≤ AR ≤ 2) and/or the building height variability (BHV = 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6), in which the characteristic regimes of skimming flow, wake-interference and isolated roughness are covered. A detailed analysis on the roof-level turbulence structure reveals parcels of low-speed air masses in the streamwise flows and narrow high-speed down-drafts in the urban canopy layer, signifying the momentum entrainment into the street canyons. The decelerating streamwise flows in turn initiate up-drafts carrying pollutants away from the street canyons, illustrating the basic pollutant removal mechanism in 2D street canyons. Turbulent transport processes, in the form of ejection and sweep, are the key events governing the exchanges of air and pollutant of street canyon. Air exchange rate (ACH) along the roof level is dominated by turbulent transport, in particular over narrow street canyons. The LES results show that both the turbulence level and ACH increase with increasing aerodynamic resistance defined in term of the Fanning friction factor. At the same AR, BHV greatly increases the friction factor and the ACH in dense built areas (AR ≤ 0.25). The turbulence intensity is peaked on the windward side of street canyons that does not overlap with the maximum velocity gradient near the leeward building corners, suggesting the importance of background turbulence in street-level ventilation. Over the building roughness, pollutant plume dispersion after the ground-level area source in cross flows resumes the self-similar Gaussian shape in the vertical direction in which the vertical plume coverage is proportional to the square root of downwind distance in the streamwise direction. Moreover, the vertical dispersion coefficient is proportional to… Advisors/Committee Members: Liu, CH.

The critical state soil mechanics (CSSM) framework originally proposed by Schofield & Wroth (1968) has been shown to capture the mechanical behaviour of soils effectively. The particulate implementation of the discrete element method (DEM) can replicate many of the complex mechanical characteristics associated with sand. This research firstly shows that the CSSM framework is useful to assess whether a DEM simulation gives a response that is representative of a real soil. The research then explores the capacity of DEM to extend understanding of soil behaviour within the CSSM framework. The influence of sample size on the critical-state response observed in DEM simulations that use rigid-wall boundaries was examined. The observed sensitivity was shown to be caused by higher void ratios and lower contact densities adjacent to the boundaries. When the void ratio (e) and mean stress (p’) of the homogeneous interior regions were considered, the influence of sample size on the position of the critical state line (CSL) in e-log(p’) space diminished. A parametric study on the influence of the interparticle friction (μ) on the load-deformation response was carried out. The macro-scale stress-deformation characteristics were nonlinearly related to μ and the particle-scale measures (fabric, contact force distribution, etc.) varied systematically with μ. The limited effect of increases in μ on the overall strength at high μ values (μ>0.5) is attributable to transition from sliding-dominant to rolling-dominant contact behaviour. A μ value higher than 0.5 leads to a CSL in e-log(p’) space that does not capture real soil response. True-triaxial simulations with different intermediate stress ratios (b) were performed. The dependency of strength on b agreed with empirical failure criteria for sands and was related to a change of buckling modes of the strong force chains as b increased. DEM simulations showed that the position of the CSL in e-log(p’) space depends on the intermediate stress ratio b. This sensitivity seems to be related to the dependency of the directional fabric anisotropy on b. The link between the state parameter and both soil strength and dilatancy proposed by Jefferies & Been (2006) was reproduced in DEM simulations. A new rotational resistance model was proposed and it was shown that the new model can qualitatively capture the influence of particle shape on the mechanical behaviour of sand. However, it was shown that the effect of rotational resistance is limited and to quantitatively compare the DEM simulation results with laboratory testing data, e.g., the critical-state loci, it is necessary to use non-spherical particles.

Over the past decades, researchers in economics, financial mathematics and actuarial science have introduced results to the concept of comonotonicity in their respective fields of interest. Comonotonicity is a very strong dependence structure and is very often mistaken as a dependence structure that is too extreme and unrealistic. However, the concept of comonotonicity is actually a useful tool for solving several research and practical problems in capital allocation, risk sharing and optimal allocation. The first topic of this thesis is focused on the application of comonotonicity in optimal capital allocation. The Enterprise Risk Management process of a financial institution usually contains a procedure to allocate the total risk capital of the company into its different business units. Dhaene et al. (2012) proposed a unifying capital allocation framework by considering some general deviation measures. This general framework is extended to a more general optimization problem of minimizing separable convex function with a linear constraint and box constraints. A new approach of solving this constrained minimization problem explicitly by the concept of comonotonicity is developed. Instead of the traditional Kuhn-Tucker theory, a method of expressing each convex function as the expected stop-loss of some suitable random variable is used to solve the optimization problem. Then, some results in convex analysis with infimum-convolution are derived using the result of this new approach. Next, Borch's theorem is revisited from the perspective of comonotonicity. The optimal solution to the Pareto optimal risk-sharing problem can be obtained by the Lagrangian method or variational arguments. Here, I propose a new method, which is based on a Breeden-Litzanbeger type integral representation formula for increasing convex functions. It enables the transform of the objective function into a sum of mixtures of stop-losses. Necessary conditions for the existence of optimal solution are then discussed. The explicit solution obtained allows us to show that the risk-sharing problem is indeed a “point-wise” problem, and hence the value function can be obtained immediately using the notion of supremum-convolution in convex analysis. In addition to the above classical risk-sharing and capital allocation problems, the problem of minimizing a separable convex objective subject to an ordering restriction is then studied. Best et al. (2000) proposed a pool adjacent violators algorithm to compute the optimal solution. Instead, we show that using the concept of comonotonicity and the technique of dynamic programming the solution can be derived in a recursive manner. By identifying the right-hand derivative of the convex functions with distribution functions of some suitable random variables, we rewrite the objective function into a sum of expected deviations. This transformation and the fact that the expected deviation is a convex function enable us to solve the minimizing problem.

▼ In the last century, there has been a rapid growth and development in economy and modern technology around the world. This phenomenon helped improving wealth and living standard but also brought pollutions to the society and the environment. Among various kinds of pollution, air pollution takes a larger proportion. Therefore, there is increasing concern about the ventilation and pollution removal behavior in the urban environment. Among different academic studies performed, the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) had become more popular. Since wind tunnel experiments serve as validations for CFD results, this thesis developed the technique required for wind tunnels experiments and to investigate the pollutant removal related to urban geometry, as well as the technique for gas sampling to examine the distribution of pollutants in urban boundary layer over idealized two-dimensional (2D) street canyons. Three specific tasks are archived to accomplish the above objectives. The first task was to extend the wind tunnel in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the University of Hong Kong. An extension duct was designed to increase the length of the test section in which the reduced-scale model could be installed. The dimensions of the test section were specified according to the required length for fully developed flow inside the test section, the environment in the laboratory and the original wind tunnel conditions. The extension duct was then constructed and mounted, with the wind profile inside the test section obtained afterwards. After construction of the extended test section for experimental purposes, the second task was to examine the pollutant transport behaviors from the ground level of idealized 2D urban street canyons to the urban atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) using both laboratory wind tunnel measurements and CFD. Movable rectangular aluminum blocks were placed in the wind tunnel in cross-flow to construct street canyons of different building-height-to-street-width (aspect) ratios. Wetted filter papers were applied on the surface of the blocks inside the street region, modeling the source of pollutant emission inside the street canyons. The wind tunnel and CFD results complemented each other to elucidate the pollutant removal mechanism that is in line with other results available in literature. From the experimental results obtained, scaling effect was observed in the mass transfer behaviors even the flows had fulfilled kinematic similarity. A new indicator, the scaled overall pollutant removal coefficient, was formulated for the comparison of pollutant removal performance. The improved agreement in the comparison with the CFD results showed that the scaled overall pollutant removal coefficient could be used to account for the scaling effects occurred in laboratory experiments at finite Reynolds number (〖10〗^(3 ) to 〖10〗^(5 ) in this study) for comparison of pollutant removal performance. The behavior of pollutants inside the street canyons was studied; however, the pollutant…

▼ The primary objective of this study was to develop a dashboard for the consolidation of multiple forecasts utilising a range of multiple linear regression models. The term dashboard is used to describe with a single word the characteristics of the forecasts consolidation application that was developed to provide the required functionalities via a graphical user interface structured as a series of interlinked screens. Microsoft Excel© was used as the platform to develop the dashboard named ConFoRM (acronym for Consolidate Forecasts with Regression Models). The major steps of the consolidation process incorporated in ConFoRM are: 1. Input historical data. 2. Select appropriate analysis and holdout samples. 3. Specify regression models to be considered as candidates for the final model to be used for the consolidation of forecasts. 4. Perform regression analysis and holdout analysis for each of the models specified in step 3. 5. Perform post-holdout testing to assess the performance of the model with best holdout validation results on out-of-sample data. 6. Consolidate forecasts. Two data transformations are available: the removal of growth and time-periods effect from the time series; a translation of the time series by subtracting ̅i, the mean of all the forecasts for data record i, from the variable being predicted and its related forecasts for each data record i. The pre-defined regression models available for ordinary least square linear regression models (LRM) are: a. A set of k simple LRM’s, one for each of the k forecasts; b. A multiple LRM that includes all the forecasts: c. A multiple LRM that includes all the forecasts and as many of the first-order interactions between the input forecasts as allowed by the sample size and the maximum number of predictors provided by the dashboard with the interactions included in the model to be those with the highest individual correlation with the variable being predicted; d. A multiple LRM that includes as many of the forecasts and first-order interactions between the input forecasts as allowed by the sample size and the maximum number of predictors provided by the dashboard: with the forecasts and interactions included in the model to be those with the highest individual correlation with the variable being predicted; e. A simple LRM with the predictor variable being the mean of the forecasts: f. A set of simple LRM’s with the predictor variable in each case being the weighted mean of the forecasts with different formulas for the weights Also available is an ad hoc user specified model in terms of the forecasts and the predictor variables generated by the dashboard for the pre-defined models. Provision is made in the regression analysis for both of forward entry and backward removal regression. Weighted least squares (WLS) regression can be performed optionally based on the age of forecasts with smaller weight for older forecasts Advisors/Committee Members: Litvine, I N Prof.

▼ The present work proposes a methodology to improve the computational requirements of molecular dynamics simulations while maintaining or improving the fidelity of the obtained results. The most common method of molecular dynamics simulation at present is the multi-force, constant time-step, explicit computation, which advances a single time step at a time to determine the next state of the system. The present work proposes a variable time-step strategy, where a single large simulation is subdivided into multiple time domains which redistribute computational resources where they are needed the most: in areas of higher than average potential or kinetic energy or highly dynamic areas around impurity clusters, void formations and crack propagations. The research focuses on the simulation of metallic compounds, as these form the basis of most common molecular dynamics simulations, and have been very thoroughly investigated over the years, thus providing a very extensive body of work for the purpose of comparison and validation of the proposed methodology. The novel methodology presented in this work allows to alleviate some of the limitations associated with the molecular dynamics methodologies and go beyond traditional scales of simulation. The proposed method has been observed to deliver 5 to 20 percent increase in simulation size domain while maintaining or improving the accuracy and computational cycle time. The benefits were observed to be greater for large simulations with one or more areas of higher than average kinetic or potential energy levels, such as those found during crack initiation and propagation, coating-substrate interface, localized pressure application or large thermal gradient. The large difference allows for very clear prioritization of computational resources for high energy areas and as a result provides for faster and more accurate simulation even with increased domain size. Conversely, this method has been observed to provide little to no benefit when simulating stable systems that are undergoing very slow change, such as (relatively) slow change in ambient temperature or pressure, or otherwise homogeneous internal and external boundary conditions. However, for the majority of applications described above, including coating deposition and additive manufacturing, the proposed methodology will yield substantial increase in both simulation size and accuracy, since in the aforementioned processes kinetic and potential energy gradients across the simulation are typically very significant

▼ In recent decades, the rapid development of international economy has led to significant inter-regional trade imbalances. In marine transportation, the voluminous empty containers accumulated at ports in import dominated countries have to be re-circulated back to ports in export dominated countries for re-deployment. This repositioning of empty containers is crucial for shipping companies to provide effective transportation services. At present, empty container repositioning has proved to be highly expensive, contributing to 27% of the overall operation cost of shipping companies. Consequently, major stakeholders including the shipping companies have strived to reduce the repositioning cost. Unfortunately, few major improvements have been made over the years and there are still lingering research issues. The objective of this research, therefore, is to develop efficient and effective methodologies to obtain empty container repositioning plans that can significantly reduce transportation cost while fulfilling customer demands of empty and laden containers. In this research, the empty container repositioning problem under two related real marine transportation scenarios has been studied. The first scenario considers multi-vessel transportation for both laden and empty containers with split vessel routing (denoted as ECRSVR). A mathematical model of ECRSVR is developed based on the formulation of the Pickup and Delivery Problem with Time Windows (PDPTW). However, a major research issue arises due to such integrated consideration of split vessel routing and transportation of empty and laden containers. The resulting model will encompass many more new decision variables and constraints. Thus, it cannot be readily solved by existing algorithms. To address this issue, a new Branch-and-Price (B&P) algorithm incorporating B&B and column generation is developed. Specifically, a new dynamic programming algorithm with new label structure and dominance rules is established to solve the pricing problem in B&P, and a new multi-layer branching scheme is developed for implementing the algorithm. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed methodology are then tested on a set of randomly generated problems. The second scenario extends the first by including transshipment activities in the ECRSVR (denoted as ECRSVRTS). Apparently, the inclusion of transshipment activities will significantly increase the size of the solution space of feasible routing and distribution schemes. Also, more constraints have to be included in the model to account for the interdependence between the distribution schemes of separate vessels. To tackle this problem, two mathematical models are developed. The first is a port-based model that explicitly characterizes the routing plans and distribution volumes for each vessel at each time interval as decision variables. The resulting integer program is non-linear and difficult to solve. Therefore, an equivalent event-driven node-based model inspired by the formulation of PDPTW is constructed. In this…

Taxi services play an important role in transportation systems by providing 24-hour door-to-door services. However, taxis contribute significantly to congestion and air pollution problems, especially when excessive taxis circulate on roads searching for customers. It is thus necessary and important to properly model how taxis navigate on urban road networks in order to establish effective taxi regulation policies to mitigate these problems. Various taxi network models have been developed to investigate the consequences of a variety of taxi regulation policies. However, very few studies have sought to validate the models based on the real-world data. This thesis uses the global positioning system (GPS) data from 460 Hong Kong urban taxis for calibrations and validations of the proposed search models. At first, the zone choices of vacant taxi drivers in search of customers are modeled to determine the significant factors that influence their search decisions and to demonstrate the variations in their customer-search behavior at different times of day. Then, the sequential zone choices of vacant taxi drivers traveling to adjacent zones of their current locations for customers are further modeled to estimate the search paths taken to reach the customers from the zones visited sequence. Other than revealing the zonal distribution of vacant taxis, a cell-based logit-opportunity model, which incorporates the modeling principles of logit-based search model and intervening opportunity model, is also formulated in this thesis to predict the local cruising movements of vacant taxis, and to estimate the required circulation distance and time to reach a customer. Based on the contributions of these search models, a two-stage modeling approach is consequently introduced in this thesis to consider both the zonal and local taxi customer-search decisions simultaneously. The first stage problem estimates the zonal distribution of vacant taxis and the second stage problem depicts the local search movements of vacant taxis in a cell-based network within the chosen zone in the first stage. The proposed model formulation is found to offer a great improvement in prediction accuracy on the zonal distribution of vacant taxis to the existing logit-based search models. The two-stage model can also be applied for forecasting the effects of adjusting the fare and fleet size to the vacant taxi trip distribution. Potential taxi policies are investigated and discussed according to the findings, and that provides insights for managing the taxi market of Hong Kong and other international cities with similar urban taxi services provided.

▼ Motile bacteria swim in fluid environments propelled by one or more flagella, spiral filaments that are attached to the cell body and a rotary motor. The direction of rotation determines the mode of swimming, and therefore the cell’s trajectory. We test mathematical models for chemotaxis, the directed migration of a bacterial population in the direction of increasing attractants or decreasing repellents. The types of motion patterns that we examine are: the run-and-tumble strategy, used by Escherichia coli and other multi-flagellated bacteria; and the run-reverse-flick strategy, used by Caulobacter crescentus and other uni-flagellated bacteria. The sequence of straight runs followed by tumbles and reorientations to move in a new direction provides a diffusive search pattern for cells, while an extended run in a preferred direction can generate a mean drift velocity. Bacterial chemotaxis has been studied extensively by tracking swimming cells, resulting in mathematical models that describe how the average duration of a forward run varies in response to changes in concentration levels of attractants in recently explored environment. We set up a universal framework for existing cell response models and explore their equivalency. We also evaluate these models for E. coli by two-dimensional random walk simulations and their ability to capture the relatively strong chemotactic responses that have been observed in recent experiments. We also show that these existing reduced models are not sufficient to describe the observed chemotactic response of uni-flagellated cells that execute run-reverse-flick motion. Therefore, we turn to a more detailed approach, based on chemical pathways in the cell cytoplasm that governs the bias for random switching of the flagellum motor. Such models are nonlinear but have features comparable to the reduced models for cell response. Finally, in contrast to mean drift velocity, random motility, another quantity characterizing the collective behavior of a cell population, is harder to measure in experiments and less data is available. Our results show that random motility can increase with chemotaxis and that it is not isotropic, being larger in the direction of attractant gradient. This contradicts the standard assumption that random motility doesn't change with chemotaxis.

▼ Thermodiffusion or Soret effect is a heat and mass transfer phenomenon in a non-isothermal liquid and gas mixtures. This phenomenon is more pronounced in oil fields, usually due to the porous environment. A precise and better understanding of the thermodiffusion phenomena in multi-component mixtures results in a more accurate modeling of oil reservoirs. Accordingly, the main objective of this study is to investigate the thermodiffusion phenomenon in the multicomponent mixtures. In order to achieve this objective, two series of thermodiffusion experiments conducted on board the International Space Station (ISS) using the SODI (Selectable Optical Diagnostics Instrument) facility were analyzed. The first series of experiments aimed to study the effects of the forced vibration on the Soret phenomena. The experimental mixture was water and isopropanol with different compositions subjected to various temperature gradients normal to the vibrations. Results revealed maximum separation for the case with the minimum vibration and the lower temperature gradient; however, a linear relationship between Gershuni number and maximum separation was not found. On the other hand, the second series of experiment was aimed to the measurement of the diffusion coefficients of selected ternary mixtures. Mixtures of tetrahydronaphthalene-isobutylbenzene-dodecane at five different compositions were hosted in the DSC (Diffusion and Soret Coefficient) cell array. Thus, the Soret diffusion coefficients and the molecular diffusion coefficients of the mentioned hydrocarbon mixture at five different compositions have been reported. To process the results of these experiments an advance image processing technique was developed and implemented in an application with GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Then, the application of the windowed Fourier transformation (WFT) to analyze the heat and mass transfer problem using the MZI setup is proposed. Results show that the WFT noticeably improves the measurement of concentration. This improvement is more evident for the ternary. It was shown that about 10% underestimation of the Soret coefficient would be resulted; if an accurate determination of the thermal time for the MZI is not used. The reliability and the repeatability of the MZI apparatus on board ISS to study thermodiffusion for binary and ternary mixtures were shown.

▼ The physical quantities which describe the major watershed response to the precipitation are the water yield, the sediment yield, and the resultant stream morphology. This study provides the theoretical background and numerical methods for modeling physical processes governing the watershed response. A method of nonlinear kinematic wave approximation for flow routing has been developed to route water and sediment over land and in channels. The numerical scheme developed in this study is unconditionally stable and may be used with a wide range of time increment to space increment ratio without loss of significant accuracy. From theoretical considerations, it has been found that the flow discharge is the better selection for the unknown in numerical computations than the depth or area. The applicability of the numerical method has been tested in various cases - overland flow, natural channel, and small drainage system and has been found satisfactory for modeling of watershed response. As the applications of this flow routing procedure, a rainfall-runoff model for simulating hydrographs from small watersheds and a rainfall erosion model for calculating time-dependent erosion rates from overland flow areas have been developed. The rainfall-runoff model simulates hydrographs on the single storm basis. The model includes the water balance simulation for land surface hydrologic cycle and the water routing features for both overland flow and channel systems. Unlike the conventional approach to parametric modeling of watershed response, this model contains much more information on the physics of flow and requires much less assistance from optimization schemes than any existing water models known to the writer. For the tested basin the simulated hydrographs agree reasonably well with the measured hydrographs. The sensitivity analysis indicates that soil data are very sensitive to the computed hydrograph. Flow resistance parameters and vegetation data are less sensitive to the simulated results. In addition, this physically oriented model has the capability to predict watershed treatment effects on water yields. The rainfall-erosion model simulates both water flow and sediment flow routing in overland flow areas and produces time-dependent erosion rates comparable with the available experimental data from a soil plot. The model can generate time-dependent land forms, and the generated land form tends to be concave in shape which frequently appears in nature. It was also found that the soil erosion rate was very sensitive to the bed slope and shape. The general practice of assuming a uniform shape may result in serious errors. The mathematical models in this study may provide the short-term and the long-term responses. Theoretical interpretation of the long-term response was also made. The equations describing the basic physical processes in small watershed channels sculptured in noncohesive alluvial materials have been employed to derive the hydraulic geometry equations. Both downstream and at-a-station relations were… Advisors/Committee Members: Simons, Daryl B. (advisor), Karaki, Susumu (committee member), Labadie, John W. (committee member), Meiman, James R.
