Swan, Amanda C

Gliomas, tumours arising from the glial cells of the nervous system, are some of the most difficult tumours to treat. In particular, glioblastoma are a particularly aggressive glioma subtype carrying a life expectancy of only 14 months. Typically, treatment combines surgery, radiation and...

Numerous studies have been devoted to the estimation and inference problems for functional linear models (FLM). However, few works focus on model checking problem that ensures the reliability of results. Limited tests in this area do not have tractable null distributions or asymptotic analysis...

In this thesis, we prove the non-amenability of the Banach algebra B(E), the banach algebra of all operators on an infinite dimensional Banach space E, where, for p in the interval [1,infinity), E is an infinite dimensional Lp-space in the sense of Lindenstrauss and Pelczynski. In addition, we...

A discrete flow (S,X) is a semigroup S acting on a set X where both S, and X are equipped with the discrete topology. Amenability of semigroups is a topic that explores the existence of measures that are invariant under the semigroup multiplication. The goal of this thesis is to generalize these...

In this thesis we are interested in fixed point properties of representations of semi-topological semigroups of non-expansive mappings on weak and weak* compact convex sets in Banach or dual spaces. More particularly, we study the following problems : Problem 1 : Let F be any commuting family of...

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....

For many investors, such as mutual fund managers, the closing price of a stock is an important benchmark. The closing price for stocks traded at NASDAQ is determined through an auction, like at many other stock exchanges. Each day and for each stock traded at NASDAQ, the intertemporal order...
