Glucose disposal and insulin sensitivity at rest and during exercise in trained horses adapted to different dietary energy sources and in association with laminitis in ponies
… performance and health. These studies have used modeling techniques to evaluate glucose kinetics and dynamics in equids and developed tests to evaluate the status of glucose metabolism. In Part I, 12 exercise-trained Arabians underwent insulin-modified FSIGT (with minimal model analysis) and …

Identification, state estimation, and adaptive control of type i diabetic patients
… <p> During the past few decades, biomedical modeling techniques have been applied to improve performance of a wide variety of medical systems that require monitoring and control. Diabetes is one of the most important medical problems. Most of the existing techniques assume the system to be …

Development of a multiscale coarse-grained chromatin model
… we develop a multiscale coarse-grained chromatin model, which integrates all-atom representations of proteins, DNA, and nucleosomes; a chemically specific coarse-grained model of kb scale chromatin; and a minimal model of sub-Mb scale chromatin. A key feature of this model is its capacity to link …

Minimal Models and Riemannian Foliations
In this work, we consider minimal models of Riemannian foliations on connected, simply-connected manifolds following Lehmann. We show that if the minimal model has an underlying rational form of finite type, then it can be realized in rational homotopy by a fibration of finite CW complexes. As a …

Resveratrol: therapeutic role in metabolic and reproductive function in obese broodmares
… Insulin and glucose kinetics were analyzed via minimal model. Resveratrol supplementation had no discernible effect on reproductive parameters (P>0.05), however obese mares had more (6 vs. 0) hemorrhagic anovulatory follicles. Neither resveratrol treatment nor time on study influenced …

Modular properties of higher spin black holes
… black holes in AdS3. Through the conjectured Minimal Model/Higher Spin duality, the partition functions of such black holes should be equal to partition functions in the presence of chemical potentials in an appropriate dual 2d CFT. In the well-understood spin-2 case, the modular properties of …

Ultracold fermionic atoms in disordered potentials
… to realize the disordered Fermi-Hubbard model, which is a minimal model for strongly correlated electronic solids. The interplay of interactions and disorder is investigated. We find an Anderson-like disorder-driven metal-to-insulator transition as well as disorder-induced breaking of the …

Log geometry and extremal contractions
The Minimal Model Program (in short, MMP) aims at classifying projective algebraic varieties from a birational point of view. That means that starting from a projective algebraic variety X, [Delta] it is allowed to change the variety under scrutiny as long as its field of rational functions remains …

Mesoscale modelling of block copolymer systems
… of CDS is due to the fact that it is a simplest minimal model of the Ginzburg-Landau type and its ability to describe complex physical situations was debated. The thesis clarifies this issue by a systematic study of diblock copolymers subjected to the external influences such as electric field, …

The Vulcanization Transition and the Amorphous Solid State It Yields: A Statistical Mechanical Perspective
… and the emergent solid state, we construct a minimal model in the spirit of the Landau approach to continuous phase transitions. At the mean-field level this model produces the essential features of the liquid state and, especially, the amorphous solid state, such as the fraction of randomly …

Mathematical Models of Biochemical Oscillations
… paper is to explain the mathematics involved in modeling biochemical oscillations. We first discuss several important biochemical concepts fundamental to the construction of descriptive mathematical models. We review the basic theory of differential equations and stability analysis as it relates …

Temporal synchronization of CA1 pyramidal cells by high-frequency, depressing inhibition, in the presence of intracellular noise
… of interneurons. This dissertation proposes a minimal model consisting of a single interneuron which synapses onto a network of uncoupled pyramidal cells. It is shown that fast decaying, high-frequency, depressing inhibition is capable of rapidly synchronizing the pyramidal cells and modulating …

Regulation of glucose metabolism in dairy cattle
… has been indicated, and it was shown that the Minimal Model computer analysis of the frequently sampled glucose tolerance test was adequate in assessing insulin sensitivity in dairy cattle. The acute hyperinsulinemia induced by the insulin tolerance test or by the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic …

Local Magnetism in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems with Orbital Degrees of Freedom
… degrees of freedom through the use of effective models. My dissertation focuses on the sub-class of these materials where electrons appear to be localized by interactions, and magnetic ions have well measured magnetic moments. This suggests that we can capture the low-energy physics of the …

Monte-Carlo event generation for the LHC
… ATLAS minimum bias measurements obtained with minimal model dependence. The parts of the detector relevant for these measurements are briefly explained. Throughout the thesis, results obtained with the improvements are compared to experimental measurements.

The Effect of Hypothyroidism on Glucose Tolerance in Dogs
… intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIGT) and minimal model analysis were used to determine basal insulin and glucose concentrations, acute insulin response to glucose (AIRg), insulin sensitivity (SI), glucose effectiveness (SG) and the disposition index (DI). Results: In the hypothyroid group, …

Del Pezzo surfaces with irregularity and intersection numbers on quotients in geometric invariant theory
… are smooth, and their study is motivated by the minimal model program. We also find a restriction on the integer pairs that are possible as the irregularity (that is, the dimension of the first cohomology group of the structure sheaf) and anti-canonical degree of regular del Pezzo surfaces with …

Generalized Navier-Stokes equations for active turbulence

Integrability in random conformal geometry
