The Computational Kleinman-Newton Method in Solving Nonlinear Nonquadratic Control Problems
… and a related iterative numerical method, the Kleinman-Newton method, for solving the problem. The thesis proves the local convergence of Kleinman-Newton method using the contraction mapping theorem and then describes how this Kleinman-Newton method may be used to numerically solve for the …

The Effects of the Good Behavior Game With General Education High School Students
… GBG with high school general education students (Kleinman & Saigh, 2011). Though supportive of the positive effects on disruptive behavior in this population, Kleinman and Saigh had several limitations regarding methodology and only used one classroom which limited the external validity of the …

Some results on nonlinear optimal control
… as just described of the so called Newton-Kleinman method. Here we carry out this extension theoretically and prove that the associated sequence of stabilizing feedback controls converges uniformly to the optimal control. In the second chapter of this work we generalize the existence and …

Inhibition of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration and Intimal Thickening with Chimeric N-Cadherin Mimetic Peptides: Development of a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Restenosis
Heart disease is the foremost cause of global mortality and involves the blockage of arteries. The most common treatment for this is angioplasty and stenting, which has side effects of restenosis (re-narrowing) from smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and proliferation, and late thrombosis due to …

Going With The Flow: Selective phosphodiesterase 4D7 (PDE4D7) regulation of vascular endothelial cell responses to fluid shear stress
Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) regulate their phenotype in response to the frictional force exerted by the flowing blood, fluid shear stress (FSS). The hemodynamics dictating this force determine, to a large extent, the likelihood that a given region of a blood vessel will develop …
