Introduction Frailty is a syndrome that is often associated with aging. It can be identified through specific frailty scales or a comprehensive assessment by a healthcare provider. In Alberta, it appears that there are no specific billing or diagnostic codes for frailty. So, healthcare providers...

This thesis presents a comprehensive study of Gaussian Differential Privacy (GDP) and Local Differential Privacy (LDP), exploring their properties, relationships, and applications in developing novel algorithms and optimization methods for efficient and accurate privacy-preserving data analysis....

Jankovic, Peggy M.

This thesis establishes new Schur-Weyl functors involving the super Yangian, its deformed double current algebra, the affine super Yangian, and their respective Cherednik algebras.

Gervais, Alain D

A series of three studies investigates theoretically and numerically the evolution, stability, and pseudomomentum transport of fully localized three-dimensional internal gravity wave packets, as they self-interact nonlinearly with their induced mean flow. The first study considers a rotating,...

Distributions of sequences modulo one (mod 1) have been studied over the past century with applications in algebra, number theory, statistics, and computer science. For a given sequence, the weak convergence of the associated empirical distributions has been the usual approach to these studies....

Bayesian nonparametric models have gained increasing attention due to their flexibility in modelling natural and social phenomena and have been widely applied in machine learning, biology, social science and so on. Unlike traditional Bayesian parametric models, Bayesian nonparametric models place...

Since the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan City in December 2019, numerous model predictions on the COVID-19 epidemics in Wuhan have been reported. These model predictions have shown a wide range of variations. In our first study, we demonstrate that nonidentifiability in model calibrations using the...

The affine vertex superalgebra A=L^1(D(2,1;-v/w)) plays a key role as the geometric Langlands kernel VOA for SVOAs associated to so(3), osp(1|2) and other rank one Lie superalgbras. Since D(2,1;a) is an extension of the direct sum of 3 copies of sl(2), A can be naturally realized as an...

In this thesis, we perform a systematic study of the Allee effect in cancer stem cell (CSC) models with an application to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Previously, it was shown that an Allee effect exists in mathematical tumor growth models incorporating cancer stem cell (CSC) dynamics....

The aim of this thesis is to provide an exposition to Mochizuki and Hoshi's approach to birational anabelian geometry of mixed characteristic local fields. In the introductory chapter, we begin by recalling the relevant backgrounds on the Grothendieck conjectures on the étale fundamental groups...
