Mesh Adaptation in Fractured Reservoir Simulation
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)Natural fractures exist in many oil and gas reservoirs. On the other hand, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is needed to create fractures in some reservoirs to improve the production rate. For example, shale gas reservoirs ... -
Modeling the Effects of Drugs of Abuse on HIV Infections with Two Viral Species
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)Injection drug use is one of the greatest risk factors associated with contracting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and drug abusers infected with HIV suffer from a higher viral load and rapid pathogenesis. Replication ... -
Using Stable Limit Cycles to Model p53-Mdm2 Protein Interactions in the Presence of DNA Damage
(2023)The protein p53 is constantly made and destroyed within a cell. Another protein, Mdm2, is a negative regulator of p53. In the presence of DNA damage, Mdm2 does not bind to p53, thus activating the p53 protein. This activation ...
