early life, its rates in Lebanon remain low. This study aims to examine the association
of maternal exposure, knowledge, attitude, and ...
The bidomain model describes the cardiac electrical activity. It has been considerably used in studies investigating cardiac arrythmia such as ventricular fibrillation. Recently, the well-posedness of the model was studied ...
In this thesis, we introduce a variational formulation for the scalar age- structured population model of the McKendrick-Von Foerster type based on Sobolev spaces on a semi-infinite domain. After giving existence and ...
The importance of population modeling has driven many researchers and scientists to study mathematical models that analyze and observe the dynamics of a certain population. This field is very wide and includes many topics ...
This thesis presents a skill-based methodology that considers the universities, software companies, software human resources and potential projects of a country using two integer linear programs, PMax and LCom. PMax ...
Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) are devices designed to deliver nicotine and some sensory features of cigarette smoking without combusting tobacco. They are marketed as a reduced harm smoking alternative to conventional ...
While the nonlinearity and complexity of biological phenomena keeps much of the intricate details of science mysterious, computational modeling can help unveil the dynamics and functionalities of such complex phenomena. ...
Clogging of pipes and tubes occurs when initially separated ionic components form a solid precipitate when mixed with each other. Such a phenomenon is particularly important in micro-devices where calcium carbonate (produced ...
Pattern Recognition is not a new subject. Its principles and methodologies have for many years influenced the course of technological development in almost every knowledge-based field. No single model exists for all pattern ...
