A Versatile Stochastic Dissemination Model

On a Versatile Stochastic Growth Model

Growth phenomena are ubiquitous and pervasive not only in biology and the medical sciences, but also in economics, marketing and the computer and social sciences. While on the surface deceivingly simple, the complex interactions that govern growth render the task of producing dependable mathematical models for such phenomena very challenging, indeed. Not surprisingly, the research community has...

A Versatile Stochastic Model for Stem Cell Growth

Stem cell research promises to revolutionize regenerative medicine and to open new avenues for fighting cancer. Since once differentiated stem cells are incapable of mitosis, a crucial component of stem cell research is modeling the proliferative capacity of the undifferentiated stem cell phenotype. Therefore, it is an important research topic to identify mathematical growth models for stem cel...

A Stochastic Optimization Model for Groundwater Management

A Stochastic Model for Water Resources Management

Irrigation water management is crucial for agricultural production and livelihood security in many regions and countries throughout the world. Over the past decades, controversial and conflictladen water-allocation issues among competing municipal, industrial and agricultural interests have raised increasing concerns. Particularly, growing population, varying natural conditions and shrinking wa...
