Abstract As the discipline of functional neuroimaging grows there is an increasing interest in meta analysis of brain imaging studies. A typical neuroimaging meta analysis collects peak activation coordinates (foci) from several studies and...

Abstract: This talk will present a range of mathematical modelling approaches we have used recently to model aspects of solid tumour growth. We will consider a very simple ordinary differential equation model for homeostasis in intestinal crypts, a...

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the "father of computer science," Alan Turing. His legacy is recognized with the Turing Award, the "Nobel prize" of computer science. The Department of Computer Science is honoured to host 2010...

Abstract: Inverse eigenvalue problems have received considerable attention, and arise frequently in engineering applications. Many inverse eigenvalue problems reduce to the construction of a matrix with prescribed spectral data. One interesting...

A finite family of (straight) lines in the projective plane is a simplicial arrangement provided all faces (connected components of the complement) are triangles (simplices). Similarly for arrangements of (hyper) planes in higher dimensions. Starting...

During the past three decades the Arctic has been undergoing unprecedented change due to global warming. In addition to stress brought on by warming, the inhabitants of the Arctic are exposed to industrial and agricultural contaminants that have...

The Conference on Reversible Computation will bring together researchers from computer science, mathematics, engineering, and physics to discuss new developments and directions for future research in the emerging area of Reversible Computation. This...

Human activities change the natural flow regimes in streams and rivers and this impacts ecosystems. In this talk I will mathematically investigate the impact of changes in water flow on biological populations. The approach I will take is to develop...

Mathematical models can help us understand the formation of complex spatial patterns, including the territories of wolves and coyotes. Here scent marks provide important cues regarding the use of space. In this talk I will show how biologically-based...

The second annual one day seminar to discuss progress in the field, as well as to enhance collaboration with colleagues from Japan, France, UBC and SFU. The seminar will gather researchers with similar foci and will include graduate students...
