Nathan G. Marculis, Jimmy Garnier, · Roger Lui, Mark A. Lewis
A stage-structured model of integrodifference equations is used to study the asymptotic neutral genetic structure of populations undergoing range expansion. That is, we study the inside dynamics of solutions to stage-structured integrodifference equations. To analyze the genetic consequences for...

Nathan G. Marculis, Mark A. Lewis
The method of inside dynamics provides a theory that can track the dynamics of neutral gene fractions in spreading populations. However, the role of mutations has so far been absent in the study of the gene flow of neutral fractions via inside dynamics. Using integrodifference equations, we...

Bernard, G.M., Michaelis, V.K.
High‐field dynamic nuclear polarization nuclear magnetic resonance (DNP NMR) spectroscopy is rapidly emerging as a revolutionary analytical structural method by greatly enhancing the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance. Innovative solutions are constantly being introduced to address the...

Integrated FAHP-FDEMATEL for determining causal relationships in construction crew productivity modelling
Download2023-01-01
Kedir, Nebiyu, Fayek, Aminah Robinson
Construction crew productivity is affected by the motivation of the crew performing given activities and by situational/contextual factors forming the dynamic construction environment. The literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of causal relationships between crew motivation and...

Integrated techno-economic and environmental assessments of sixty scenarios for co-firing biomass with coal and natural gas
Download2016-01-01
Agbor, Ezinwa, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Zhang, Xiaolei, Kumar, Amit
Displacement of fossil fuel-based power through biomass co-firing could reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels. In this study, data-intensive techno-economic models were developed to evaluate different co-firing technologies as well as the configurations of these...

Integrodifference equations in the presence of climate change: persistence criterion, travelling waves and inside dynamics
Download2018-01-01
Mark A. Lewis, Nathan G. Marculis, Zhongwei Shen
To understand the efects that the climate change has on the evolution of species as well as the genetic consequences, we analyze an integrodifference equation (IDE) models for a reproducing and dispersing population in a spatio-temporal heterogeneous environment described by a shifting...

Jon Jacobsen, Yu Jin, Mark A. Lewis
To fully understand population persistence in river ecosystems, it is neces- sary to consider the effect of the water flow, which varies tremendously with seasonal fluctuations of water runoff and snow melt. In this paper, we study integrodifference models for growth and dispersal in the presence...

Intelligibility of foreign-accented words: Acoustic distances and gradient foreign accentedness
Download2015-04-29
Porretta, Vincent, Tucker, Benjamin V.
Intelligibility and degree of accentedness are interrelated aspects of non-native speech. Previous research suggests that foreign accentedness is influenced by phonetic distance measures [7]. These distance measures may also influence the intelligibility of individual words. In the present study...

Interactive allocation of mobile photo enforcement resources with multiple program objectives
Download2019-11-06
Li, Y., Kim, A., El-Basyouny, K.
Managers of mobile photo enforcement (MPE) programs must account for several road safety goals when deploying operators. However, there is no MPE design structure to systematically connect deployment decisions back to preset goals. We propose a method to aid MPE managers in using goals directly...
