Continuum traffic theories whereby individual vehicles are collectively modeled have enjoyed a rich history since their popularization by M.J. Lighthill and G.B. Whitham. These models are able to elucidate the dynamics of ``phantom jams,'' transient...

Atmospheric dispersion refers to the transport of contaminants in the atmosphere under the influence of advection (due to the wind) and turbulent diffusion. When the contaminant is emitted from a stationary point source, then the governing advection...

The main aim of the talk is to describe how to embed the experimental results recently obtained studying the detachment force of single adhesion bonds in a multiphase model developed to describe the growth of tumours and tissues in general. In order...

Conference participants primarily consist of the faculty members, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows working in probability and statistics, and related areas, at the University of Alberta and at the University of Calgary. Participants...

Based on the conception "pseudo-potential" of the incompressible plane flow, an exact solution is given to the Euler's equation with an arbitrarily given potential force. With the KAM theory and the second order Melnikov function, it is proved that...

In this talk a lowest-degree pair of nonconforming finite elements on quadrilaterals and hexahedrons will be introduced for the approximation of the Stokes equations. Also, an equal order pair of nonconforming finite element pair will be introduced...

The Canadian Young Researchers Conference in Mathematics and Statistics (CYRC) is an annual event that provides a unique forum for young mathematicians across Canada to present their research and to collaborate with their peers. All young academics...

Models for invasions track the front of an expanding wave of population density. They take the form of parabolic partial differential equations and related integral formulations. These models can be used to address questions ranging from the rate of...

The theory of Group Rings has important connections to other fundamental areas, such as Number Theory, Topology, K-Theory, Representation Theory, Homological Algebra and of course to finite and infinite Group Theory and Ring Theory. Applications...
