Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations

Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations

The book provides an introduction to deterministic (and some stochastic) modeling of spatiotemporal phenomena in ecology epidemiology and neural systems. A survey of the classical models in the fields with up to date applications is given. The book begins with detailed description of how spatial dynamics/diffusive processes influence the dynamics of biological populations. These processes play a key role in understanding the outbreak and spread of pandemics which help us in designing the control strategies from the public health perspective. A brief discussion on the functional mechanism of the brain (single neuron models and network level) with classical models of neuronal dynamics in space and time is given. Relevant phenomena and existing modeling approaches in ecology epidemiology and neuroscience are introduced which provide examples of pattern formation in these models. The analysis of patterns enables us to study the dynamics of macroscopic and microscopic behaviour of underlying systems and travelling wave type patterns observed in dispersive systems. Moving on to virus dynamics authors present a detailed analysis of different types models of infectious diseases including two models for influenza five models for Ebola virus and seven models for Zika virus with diffusion and time delay. A Chapter is devoted for the study of Brain Dynamics (Neural systems in space and time). Significant advances made in modeling the reaction-diffusion systems are presented and spatiotemporal patterning in the systems is reviewed. Development of appropriate mathematical models and detailed analysis (such as linear stability weakly nonlinear analysis bifurcation analysis control theory numerical simulation) are presented. Key Features Covers the fundamental concepts and mathematical skills required to analyse reaction-diffusion models for biological populations. Concepts are introduced in such a way that readers with a basic knowledge of differential equations and numerical methods can understand the analysis. The results are also illustrated with figures. Focuses on mathematical modeling and numerical simulations using basic conceptual and classic models of population dynamics Virus and Brain dynamics. Covers wide range of models using spatial and non-spatial approaches. Covers single two and multispecies reaction-diffusion models from ecology and models from bio-chemistry. Models are analysed for stability of equilibrium points Turing instability Hopf bifurcation and pattern formations. Uses Mathematica for problem solving and MATLAB for pattern formations. Contains solved Examples and Problems in Exercises. The Book is suitable for advanced undergraduate graduate and research students. For those who are working in the above areas it provides information from most of the recent works. The text presents all the fundamental concepts and mathematical skills needed to build models and perform analyses. | Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations

Stays and Corsets Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body

Stays and Corsets Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body

Stays and Corsets: Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body goes a step beyond traditional historical costuming texts by not only providing you with historical pattern diagrams and information but by showing you how to adapt these patterns to the contemporary body shape. Using her original pattern-drafting system author Mandy Barrington will show you how to draft a historical pattern for a modern body shape while still retaining an accurate historical silhouette. Each pattern has been generated from an original stay corset or pattern taken from a historical garment. The instructions to follow these new patterns are designed to accommodate any size of female figure allowing you to avoid extremely difficult time consuming and inaccurate historical pattern re-sizing Requiring only basic prior knowledge of pattern drafting all calculations have been worked out for the costume maker and are provided in simple tables accompanied by easy-to-read step-by-step diagrams that clearly show how the historical pattern is plotted onto the female basic block coupled with photographs of the constructed stays and corsets. | Stays and Corsets Historical Patterns Translated for the Modern Body

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

The English Novel Volume II: Smollett to Austen collects a series of previously-published essays on the early eighteenth-century novel in a single volume reflecting the proliferation of theoretical approaches since the 1970s. The novel has been the object of some of the most exciting and important critical speculations and the eighteenth-century novel has been at the centre of new approaches both to the novel and to the period between 1750 and 1800. Richard Kroll's introduction seeks to frame the contributions by reference to the most significant critical discussions. These include: the general importance of 'sentimentalism' as a cultural movement after 1750; its relationship to the emergence of the Gothic novel as a specific genre or mode; the rapid rise in the number of women novelists in the later eighteenth century; the relationship between the novel as mediator of social relations and the idea of the 'public sphere'; the relationship between novelistic codes and the massive growth of a consumerist society; the class conflicts of writers like Smollett; the effect on the novel of the new 'British' nation; and the effects of the French Revolution and the subsequent political debates on writers like Wollstonecraft Godwin and Austen. This collection will be of interest to students of the later enlightenment and also to all who are interested in late eighteenth-century radicalism and the general relationship between literature history and politics. | English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry

Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry

The Handbook of Discrete and Computational Geometry is intended as a reference book fully accessible to nonspecialists as well as specialists covering all major aspects of both fields. The book offers the most important results and methods in discrete and computational geometry to those who use them in their work both in the academic world—as researchers in mathematics and computer science—and in the professional world—as practitioners in fields as diverse as operations research molecular biology and robotics. Discrete geometry has contributed significantly to the growth of discrete mathematics in recent years. This has been fueled partly by the advent of powerful computers and by the recent explosion of activity in the relatively young field of computational geometry. This synthesis between discrete and computational geometry lies at the heart of this Handbook. A growing list of application fields includes combinatorial optimization computer-aided design computer graphics crystallography data analysis error-correcting codes geographic information systems motion planning operations research pattern recognition robotics solid modeling and tomography.

The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology

The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology

By studying the emergence development structure and pattern the two-volume set seeks to reconstruct the ancient rhyme Chinese tables based on extant materials and findings. A rhyme table is a tabulated tool constituted by phonological properties which helps indicate the pronunciation of sinograms or Chinese characters marking an accurate and systematic account of the Chinese phonological system. The first volume discusses its formation and evolution and analyzes the structure and arrangement patterns of rhyme tables in detail. The author gives insights into principles for some irregular cases (menfa rules) and the nature of “division” (deng) a method of classifying and differentiating speech sounds vital to the reconstruction of Middle Chinese. The second volume first explores the relationship and identifies the prototype of the extant rhyme tables and then presents the reconstructed rhyme tables with detailed annotations and add-on indexes. The book will appeal to scholars and students studying Sinology Chinese linguistics and especially Chinese phonology. | The Chinese Rhyme Tables A New Probe Into the Nature of Middle Chinese Phonology
