Abstract:

Humans are unique in the extent and complexity of their cultures. As a species, we generate extensive knowledge and innumerable norms, attitudes, traditions, skills, beliefs and technologies that we share with those around us through teaching, imitation and language. These cultural practices have their roots in our uniquely potent ability for social learning. This thesis sets out to elucidate the process of cultural evolution using a series of mathematical and computational models. These models first investigate the evolution of the capacity for social learning, the rare ability to teach, and

Abstract:

Since there are insufficient mathematicians to meet economic and educational demands and many well-qualified, successful mathematics students exhibit signs of disaffection, the student experience of undergraduate mathematics is high on the political agenda. Many undergraduates struggle with the school-university transition, which has been associated with students’ prior experiences of mathematics which, at A-level, are regularly criticised for being too easy and too different to undergraduate mathematics. Furthermore, the University of Oxford administers a Mathematics Admissions Test (OxMAT) a

Abstract:

Improving efficiency within the agricultural industry is vital to maintain the food demands of the increasing population, as well the current preference for a more protein rich diet. One avenue for addressing these issues is to study animal-based growth to determine if the efficiency of the production system can be improved by increasing lean muscle mass. The aim of this thesis is to provide an alternative exploration to experimental work to provide an insight into how muscle metabolism in pigs is altered by the administration of a beta-agonist which induces muscle hypertrophy.

Abstract:

Culture is a hugely important process in the evolution of humans and many non-human animals. Through the formation of long lasting traditions, culture provides an extragenetic inheritance mechanism that can facilitate rapid behavioural adaptation to novel environments. This can ultimately alter the selection pressures acting on different phenotypes including those that underlie cultural transmission itself, i.e. the mechanisms of social learning. Understanding culture poses many challenges for researchers due to the complex nature of interacting biological processes at multiple organisational

Abstract:

The question of what constitutes a culture has often been answered in one phrase: shared knowledge. Recent developments in both the theory and mathematics of examining this shared cultural knowledge allow researchers to produce mathematical models of informants' knowledge and perceptions of the culture they belong to. Many studies in cognitive anthropology have utilized these theoretical and mathematical tools: the present research sought to integrate a research design (based on the theory and mathematics mentioned above) with a relatively new cultural domain: the culture of sports.

Public education is a continually evolving field, with new research, policies, and practices explored by professionals who are driven to provide America’s youth with high-quality education.

This thesis presents research on the dynamics and control of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV) in the pig population of Great Britain (GB). The roles of the metapopulation of pig herds (metaherd) and individual herd characteristics are examined, and different control and intervention strategies assessed. A novel stochastic model of a metaherd was created, incorporating the births, deaths, slaughter, culls and movement of pigs within and between herds. The metaherd was structured to have characteristics representative of the GB metaherd: the d

Abstract:

Mathematical models, that depict the dynamics of a cancer cell population growing out of the human body (in vitro) in unconstrained microenvironment conditions, are considered in this thesis. Cancer cells in vitro grow and divide much faster than cancer cells in the human body, therefore, the effects of various cancer treatments applied to them can be identified much faster. These cell populations, when not exposed to any cancer treatment, exhibit exponential growth that we refer to as the balanced exponential growth (BEG) state. This observation has led to several effective methods of estimat

Abstract:

Even relatively simple microorganisms, which have been extensively studied, are hosts to a complex network of interconnected processes occurring on diverse time scales. The multilevel nature of the regulatory network of cells and the interactions occurring at the intra cellular level further augment this complexity (Yokobayashi et al., 2003). Attempts to wholly model the function of even a single cell are currently non trivial, if not impossible, as the amount of delicate intracellular measurements required to validate such a model is exhaustive both in terms of labour and cost.

Living cells and their components play a key role within biotechnology industry. Cell cultures and their products of interest are used for the design of vaccines as well as in the agro-alimentary field. In order to ensure optimal working of such bioprocesses, the understanding of the complex mechanisms which rule them is fundamental. Mathematical models may be helpful to grasp the biological phenomena which intervene in a bioprocess. Moreover, they allow prediction of system behaviour and are frequently used within engineering tools to ensure, for instance, product quality and reproducibility.

Abstract:

<p>In this thesis we apply mathematics and formal modeling to study culture from an evolutionary standpoint. Cultural evolution theory is based on the belief that we can increase our understanding of human behavior by studying how culture is created and spread. Together with my co-authors I use mathematical modeling to investigate why we need a theory for cultural evolution, what it can tell us, and how we can test such a theory.</p><p>The thesis consists of an introduction and five papers. The first paper is an empirical test of whether we need to know the history of a population to be able t

Abstract:

An extensive body of research exists regarding the factors that influence students’ decisions to study mathematics in senior years. Additionally, there is a significant body of research concerning student enrolments into mathematics courses and the trends and patterns that emerge as a result. However, little research has been performed concerning the influence of parents’ culture on students’ decisions to study mathematics, and in particular higher-level mathematics. This research explores and considers students’ cultural backgrounds and the factors that affect students’ mathematics choices an

Abstract:

This research develops a detailed mathematical model of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The objectives were to produce a mathematical model of a periodically fed system and to fit this model to experimental data, in order to investigate the cells' response to different periodic feeding strategies. Models that can accurately reproduce the dynamics of cell populations are potentially important in the design and control of bioreactors and can possibly be used to identify the dynamics of cell cycle checkpoints. A simple mathematical model based on Monod kinetics was found to be inadeq

Abstract:

Teaching a subject requires a teacher to understand its language, epistemology and traditions, and how these characteristics govern what is appropriate for teaching and learning. This research examines how teachers' experiences of mathematics and science subject cultures, including traditions of practice, beliefs, and basic assumptions, influence their secondary school mathematics and science teaching. Six teachers from two secondary schools were interviewed and their classroom practice observed over a period of eighteen months. The research involved observing and video recording teachers' m

Full text

Abstract:

Cultural evolutionary theory is concerned with the social transmission of behaviours, beliefs or ideas that constitute culture. In humans, transmission of culture may be from one generation to the next or between individuals of the same generation. This thesis contains three models for the transmission of cultural traits, subject to frequency-dependent social learning. All models are formulated as a system of differential equations that cannot be solved analytically. By finding the equilibria of the systems and analysing their stability, the long-term behaviour of the systems may be determined
