  2. 1. Topics in discrete random structures

    Author : Anders Martinsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; First--passage percolation; Cartesian power graph; third moment argument; jigsaw puzzle; shotgun assembly; monotone paths; non-Markovian coupling; high dimension; coupling inequality; monotone paths;

    Abstract : This thesis presents four papers on problems in discrete probability. A common theme of the articles is to take some class of discrete structures, impose some randomness, and then consider what happens asymptotically as the size of the structure tends to infinity. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Class of Renewal Processes in Random Environments

    Author : David Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; point process; renewal process; random environment; coupling; regeneration; failure rate; Poisson embedding; asymptotics; stochastic domination; stochastic monotonicity; renewal process;

    Abstract : This paper deals with a generalization of the class of renewal processes with absolutely continuous life length distribution, obtained by allowing a random environment to modulate the stochastic intensity of the renewal process. The random environment is a birth and death process with a finite state space. READ MORE

  5. 3. A Continuum Framework for Modeling the Excitation–Contraction Coupling of Smooth Muscle

    Author : Babak Sharifimajd; Jonas Stålhand; Anders Klarbring; Markus Böl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Excitation-contraction coupling of smooth muscle refers to a chain of coupled physiological processes which convert a stimulus to a mechanical response. These processes can be disassociated into ionic transport during cell membrane excitation, activation of myosin light chains, and muscle contraction caused by actin-myosin interaction (filament sliding).

  6. 4. Properties of the Discrete and Continuous Spectrum of Differential Operators

    Author : Andreas Enblom; Ari Laptev; Alexei Ilyin; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : This thesis contains three scientific papers devoted to the study of different spectral theoretical aspects of differential operators in Hilbert spaces.The first paper concerns the magnetic Schrödinger operator (i∇ + A)2 in L2(ℝn). READ MORE

  7. 5. On the Modelling and Numerics of Gradient-Regularized Plasticity Coupled to Damage

    Author : Thomas Svedberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis is primarily concerned with issues that arise in conjunction with the modelling of localization phenomena in solids using gradient-regularized plasticity with coupling to damage. The thermodynamic framework for a larger class of models is established, whereby gradients of the internal variables are included as arguments of the free energy. READ MORE
