(Springer, 2015-09)
We present a model of biofilm growth in a long channel where the biomass is assumed
to have the rheology of a viscous polymer solution. We examine the competition
between growth and erosion-like surface detachment due ...

Rapoeea, Nthabiseng Joyce
(University of Pretoria, 2018)
This dissertation examines the market efficiency and arbitrage opportunities between 04 January
2000 and 31 December 2015 on selected JSE-listed stocks and equity indices. To assess market
efficiency, four tests were ...

This study investigates the cryptocurrency called bitcoin. A cryptocurrency is a type of
currency that depends on cryptography to issue new units instead of depending on
government decree like fiat currencies. The study ...

Ntumba, Patrice P.; Anyaegbunam, Adaeze Christiana
(Springer, 2011)
Building on prior joint work by Mallios and Ntumba, we study
transvections (J. Dieudonn´e), a theme already important from the classical
theory, in the realm of Abstract Geometric Algebra, referring herewith
to symplectic ...

Raftery, James G.
(Duke University Press, 2016)
This paper provides a semantic analysis of admissible rules
and associated completeness conditions for arbitrary deductive systems,
using the framework of abstract algebraic logic. Algebraizability is not
assumed, so ...

Rabies is a fatal disease in dogs as well as in humans. A possible model to represent
rabies transmission dynamics in human and dog populations is presented. The next
generation matrix operator is used to determine the ...

This work is concerned with the time discrete analysis of the Oseen system of equations driven by nonlinear slip
boundary conditions of friction type. We study the existence of solutions of the time discrete model and ...
