A Mathematical Modelling Approach to Analyze the Dynamics of Math Anxiety
(2022)The main objective of this study is to develop a mathematical modeling framework for a deeper understanding of dynamics of math anxiety as a contagious process. Borrowing from theories of the spread of infectious disease, ... -
A modeling framework for spatial transmission of Covid-19 in local communities
(2022)COVID-19 is the recent infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Because the transmissibility of the virus is relatively high and the outbreaks remained undetected ... -
Development of an advanced Hybrid (U)RANS/LES turbulence models using Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) method
(2022)Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon occurring in most practical fluid flows. The accurate prediction of turbulent flows is evident in optimizing and developing highly efficient modern fluid systems. Several turbulence ... -
Development of pulsed power sources using self-sustaining nonlinear transmission lines and high-voltage solid-state switches
(2021)The demand for short pulses capable of delivering high peak power is increasing by leaps and bounds over the last few decades. These pulses are garnering attraction from a wide variety of end-users associated with the ... -
A Hybrid Modeling Approach to Assess the Efficacy of Control Measures on Paratuberculosis on U.S. Dairy Farms
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)Paratuberculosis, also known as Johne's disease or JD, is a chronic contagious infection, caused by Mycobaterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP). This fatal disease is incurable and causes considerable economic losses to ... -
Identification and Development of a Reliable Framework to Predict Passive Scalar Transport for Turbulent Bounded Shear Flows
(2020)Heat transfer modeling plays an integral role in optimization and development of highly efficient modern thermal-fluid systems. However, currently available heat flux models suffer from fundamental shortcomings. For example, ... -
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)Bridge structures are required to possess high reliability and robustness against the concurrent effect of extreme loads and environmental attacks. To achieve such interrelated goals, it is necessary to assess the system ... -
Musculoskeletal Modeling of The Human Elbow Joint
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)Comprehensive knowledge of the in vivo loading of elbow structures is essential in understanding the biomechanical causes associated with elbow diseases and injuries, and to find appropriate treatment. Currently, in ... -
Spatiotemporal Modeling and Analysis of Disease Spread in Wildlife
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)Wildlife and wildlife diseases have been frequent topics in mathematical epidemiology. However, due to the complexity of real-world systems and the varying degree of randomness in the behavior of any one individual organism, ... -
Use of Biomechanical Motion Analysis and Pelvic Surgery Simulator for the Prevention of Surgical Errors in Mid-urethral Sling Anti-Incontinence Surgery
(2023)More than 200 million surgeries are performed annually worldwide in which preventable complications occur in up to 22 percent of these surgeries, with permanent disability rates between 0.4 - 0.8 percent. Resident surgeons ...
