This report updates the mosquito species composition for Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington, Jackson, Calhoun, Liberty, Gadsden, Leon, Wakulla, Jefferson, Madison, and Taylor Counties, through collections made in a centralized surveillance program operated from 2002-2020 northwest Florida. 91 county records were documented. The most notable discoveries included finding Mansonia ti...

In this paper, we establish and analyze a traffic flow model which describes the formation and dynamics of traffic jams. It consists of a Pressureless Gas Dynamics system under a maximal constraint on the density and is derived through a singular limit of the Aw-Rascle model. From this analysis, we deduce the particular dynamical behaviour of clusters (or traffic jams), defined as intervals whe...

This paper demonstrates how a probabilistic criterion based on the full capacity outage probability distribution (e.g., LOLP) could be integrated into the unit commitment (UC) optimization using simple statistical approximation. While this provides a direct and computationally cheaper means as compared to a recently published approach to locating the globally optimal SR allocation (and associat...

In the affine plane AG(2, q) the point (x, y) is incident with the line Y = mX + α if and only if α = −mx + y. Hence α is a root of R(T,m) of multiplicity k if and only if the line Y = mX + α is incident with k points of the set A. This observation allows one to look at a problem of the following type: Given a subset of points of the affine plane that has restricted intersection properties with...
