Information, insider trading and takeover announcements
… in financial markets. We want to use a math model to analyze the inside traders' behavior when there is a potential takeover in the market. The thesis starts with a math model to capture the stock price dynamics, and then it states the term structure behaviors under the model. The thesis …

Updating MIT's cost estimation model for shipbuilding
… project will update the MIT ship cost estimation model by combining the two existing models (the Basic Military Training School (BMTS) Cost Model and the MIT Math Model) in order to develop a program that can accurately determine both a ship's acquisition cost as well as its life cycle cost. Using …

Application of Load Updating to a Complex Three Dimensional Frame Structure
… Specifically, the load updating method uses the math model from the FEM and the strains measured from experimental or flight test data as inputs and then predicts the loads in the FEM which would result in strains that would correlate best to the measured strains in the least squared sense. In …

Study of photogrammetric self-calibration adjustment method
… generated to determine the effectiveness of the math model and computer program. A twenty-seven parameter bundle adjustment routine was proposed because of its versatility and compatible use in an existing aerotriangulation package. For the camera and test configuration considered, the focal …

Scaled experimental study on excavation of lunar regolith with rakes/rippers and flat blade
… mm - 10 mm) is added to JSC-1A. In addition, a math model of the ripping force is developed as a function of material density, which could be the basis of an instrumented-ripper technique for detailed mapping of construction. Prior ripping decreases total excavation energy by up to 20% if the …

Mathematical modelling of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the effect of public health education
… the global population for decades. Through mathematical modelling, researchers have studied different interventions on the HIV pandemic, such as treatment, education, condom use, etc. Our research focuses on different compartmental models with emphasis on the effect of public health …

A cross-scale model for the evolution of influenza within a single season
In this thesis we develop a mathematical cross-scale model for the evolution of influenza within a single season. We model evolution as the emergence and spread of a mutant strain in a population that is already invaded by a parent resident strain. This allows us to investigate both the emergence …
