Neutrophil biomechanical properties and immune function in health and inflammatory disease
Low density granulocytes (LDGs) are a poorly understood class of immune cells found in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases including psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Research completed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealed that in the context of SLE, LDGs …

A-Posteriori bounds on linear functionals of coercive 2nd order PDEs using discontinuous Galerkin methods
… the diffusion operator is discretized by the LDG scheme. This choice allows for the effective bounding of outputs associated with high Peclect number problems without resolving all of the details of the solution. In addition to the ability to manage convection dominated problems, we expand the …

How social media is changing political representation in the United Kingdom
Since the introduction of social media into everyday communication, a series of claims andcounterclaims have been made about its potential to either rectify or exacerbate the so-calledcrisis within representative democracy. Theoretical arguments suggest that social media mayincrease the closeness …

Strain-phase relations in lead-free ferroelectric KxNa1-xNbO3 epitaxial films for domain engineering
… by means of the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LDG) theory with major accuracy compared to existing predictions. The result manifests a diversity of different, mainly monoclinic phases for KNbO3. By means of the calculated misfit strain-phase diagram, particular KxNa1-xNbO3 compositions were …

Immersed and Discontinuous Finite Element Methods
In this dissertation we prove the superconvergence of the minimal-dissipation local discontinuous Galerkin method for elliptic problems and construct optimal immersed finite element approximations and discontinuous immersed finite element methods for the Stokes interface problem. In the first part …

Development of fish embryonic stem cell lines as tools for basic and applied studies of interest in aquaculture
… the effects of white (LDW), blue (LDB), green (LDG), blue/green (LDBG) and red (LDR) light, as well as constant dark (DD) conditions on gene expression and daily rhythms of cellular markers of proliferation (pcna), DNA repair (cry5), apoptosis (bcl2, bax) and cellular and oxidative stress …

Computational modeling and simulation of nonlinear electromagnetic and multiphysics problems
In this dissertation, nonlinear electromagnetic and multiphysics problems are modeled and simulated using various three-dimensional full-wave methods in the time domain. The problems under consideration fall into two categories. One is nonlinear electromagnetic problems with the nonlinearity …
