We review some recent developments in the study of biquandle brackets and other quantum enhancements.
Topological index and square plat projections (Puttipong Pongtanapaisan)
Topological index and square plat projections (Puttipong Pongtanapaisan)
The bridge distance and the topological index are measures of the complexity of the bridge splitting of a knot. In 2016, Johnson and Moriah gave a formula for the bridge distance of the canonical bridge sphere of a knot in a highly twisted plat projection in terms of the height and the width of the […]
Silica-based glasses: Realizing process-structure-property connections through computational modeling
Silica-based glasses: Realizing process-structure-property connections through computational modeling
Silica-based glasses are increasingly becoming vital components in our current technology, from optical data transmission lines, to electronics, to optical lenses, to smartphone screens. These materials are inherently brittle and subject to failure under shock, non-equilibrium stress states, or corrosive environments. Identifying new compositions and processing conditions that result in improved fracture resistance (i.e. a […]
Dynamics of a childhood disease model with isolation
Dynamics of a childhood disease model with isolation
Joan Ponce Purdue University Abstract: One of the main challenges of mathematical modeling is the balance between simplifying assumptions and incorporating sufficient complexity for the model to provide more accurate and reliable outcomes. For mathematical simplicity, many commonly used epidemiological models make restrictive modeling assumptions. Although models under such assumptions are capable of producing useful insights into […]
