A combined experimental and stochastic finite element analysis methodology for the probabilistic fracture behavior of composite laminates
In the thesis, a combined experimental and stochastic finite element analysis methodology that can incorporate the material property variabilities and based on these, predict the stochastic characteristics of the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) and the Strain Energy Release Rate (G) of composite …

Life history traits and population processes in marine bivalve molluscs
… on growth, survival, and reproduction into matrix population models I could evaluate the relative contributions of these factors to fitness. For broadcast-spawners, long life is an important factor enabling them to gamble on rare, large recruitment events. Another important aspect of the …

Phase transition for cutoff for random walks on random graphs
… ≥ 3, and outgoing, degout, half-edges. Given a stochastic matrix Q, we pick a random perfect matching of the half-edges subject to the constraint that each vertex v has degint(v) neighbours inside its community and the proportion of outgoing half-edges from community i matched to a half-edge …

An efficient multinomial sampling algorithm for spatially distributed stochastic particle simulations
… a new particle-resolved method (PGM) for stochastically simulating the transport of particles by advection and diffusion processes. This particle-resolved method is based on a multinomial sampling algorithm which calculates the number of particles transferred between adjacent sub-volumes …

Joint-stochastic Spectral Inference for Robust Co-occurrence Modeling and Latent Topic Analysis
… the learning problem in the framework of Joint Stochastic Matrix Factorization (JSMF), showing that existing methods violate the theoretical conditions necessary for a good solution to exist. Proposing novel rectification paradigms for handling the model-data mismatch, the Rectified Anchor Word …
