Abstract:

We prove strong convergence of order 1/4 - E for arbitrarily small E > 0 of the Euler-Maruyama method for multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with discontinuous drift and degenerate diffusion coefficient. The proof is based on estimating the difference between the Euler-Maruyama scheme and another numerical method, which is constructed by applying the Euler-Maruyama scheme to a transformation of the SDE we aim to solve.

Abstract:

The coordination of biological processes with daily and seasonal changes in the environment is important for the survival of photosynthetic organisms such as plants. A signalling pathway was previously identified that communicates temporal and light quality information from the circadian oscillator to the chloroplast in Arabidopsis thaliana. This signalling mechanism operates through the action of a nuclear encoded protein called SIGMA FACTOR5 (SIG5), which confers promoter specificity to the plastid encoded plastid RNA polymerase (PEP) in the chloroplast where it causes rhythmic transcription

Abstract:

Quantum theory describes our universe incredibly successfully. To our classically-inclined brains, however, it is a bizarre description that requires a reimagining of what fundamental reality, or 'ontology', could look like. This thesis examines different ontological features in light of the success of quantum theory, what it requires, and what it rules out. While these investigations are primarily foundational, they also have relevance to quantum information, quantum communication, and experiments on quantum systems. The way that quantum theory describes the state of a system is one of its mo

A Chaitin Omega number, Ω, is the halting probability of a universal Chaitin (self-delimiting Turing) machine. Every Ω number is both computably enumerable and random. In particular, every Ω number is non-computable. In this thesis, we describe a method to compute the exact values of the first 64 successive bits of a natural Chaitin Omega number. We first describe a model of computation which has been defined and proved to be a universal Chaitin machine U. We then propose a method (procedure) which combines iterative executions of an algorithm with mathematical analysis to get the exact v

The work contained in this thesis shows the membrane extraction of the metals: Cobalt(II), Nickel(II). Iron(II) and Iron(III) in aqueous media using a polymer “entangled” membrane containing the extractant Aliquat 336 and PVC (polyvinylchloride).

Abstract:

Silica precipitation and silica scale formation on membrane surfaces in RO desalination present a significant operational challenge in water purification. Silica scale formation on the membrane surface leads to flux decline, RO system productivity lost, membrane degradation, and increased cost of chemicals. In spite of the apparent simplicity of silica’s composition and scale formation on the membrane surface, fundamental questions and empirical knowledge persist about the formation, solubility and behaviour of silica species during the silica polymerisation, precipitation and scale formation.
