Acoustic Modeling and Osteoporotic Evaluation of Bone
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we discuss the modeling of the acoustic response of cancellous bone using the methods of homogenization.
This can lead to Biot type equations or more generalized equations. We develop the effective acoustic equations for cancellous bone. It is assumed that the bone matrix is elastic and the interstitial blood-marrow can be modeled as a Navier-Stokes system.
We also discuss the use of the Biot model and consider its applicability to cancellous bone. One of the questions this talk addresses is whether the clinical experiments customarily performed can be used to determine the parameters of the Biot or other bone models. A parameter recovery algorithm which uses parallel processing is developed and tested.

Multiple positive solutions for classes of elliptic systems with combined nonlinear effects
[ Abstract ]
We study the existence of multiple positive solutions to systems of the form

-\\Delta u = \\lambda f(v)
-\\Delta v = \\lambda g(u)

in a bounded domain in R^N under the Dirichlet boundary conditions. Here f, g belong to a class of positive functions having a combined sublinear effect at infinity. Our result also easily extends to the corresponding p-Laplacian systems. We prove our results by the method of sub and super solutions.

Asymptotic Speeds of Spread and Traveling Waves for Monotone Semiflows with Applications
[ Abstract ]
The theory of asymptotic speeds of spread and monotone traveling waves is established for a class of monotone discrete and continuous-time semiflows and is applied to a functional differential equation with diffusion, a time-delayed lattice population model and a reaction-diffusion equation in an infinite
cylinder.

An Inviscid Dyadic Model For Turbulence
[ Abstract ]
We discuss properties of a GOY type model for the inviscid fluid equations. We prove that the forced system has a unique equilibrium which a an exponential global attractor. Every solution blows up in H^5/6 in finite time . After this time, all solutions stay in H^s, s<5/6, and "turbulent" dissipation occurs. Onsager's conjecture is confirmed for the model system.

This is joint work with Alexey Cheskidov and Natasa Pavlovic.

Composite membrane and the structure of the singular set
[ Abstract ]
In this talk we present our study of the behavior of the singular set
$\\{u=|\\nabla u| =0\\}$ for solutions $u$ to the free boundary problem
$$
\\Delta u = f\\chi_{\\{u\\geq 0\\} } -g\\chi_{\\{u<0\\}},
$$
where $f$ and $g$ are H\\"older continuous functions, $f$ is positive and $f+g$ is negative. Such problems arise in an eigenvalue optimization for composite membranes.
We show that if for a singular point $z$ there are $r_0>0$, and $c_0>0$ such that the density assumption
$|\\{u< 0\\}\\cap B_r(z)|\\geq c_0 r2 \\forall r< r_0$
holds, then $z$ is isolated.

The large time behavior of graphical surfaces in the mean curvature flow
[ Abstract ]
We are interested in the large time behavior of a surface in the whole space moving by the mean curvature flow. Studying the Cauchy problem on $R^{N}$, we deal with moving surfaces represented by entire graphs. We focus on the case of $N=1$ and the case of $N\\geq2$ with radially symmetric surfaces. We show that the solution converges uniformly to the solution of the Cauchy problem of the heat equation, if the initial value is bounded. Our results are based on the decay estimates for the derivatives of the solution. This is a joint work with Prof. Masaharu Taniguchi of Tokyo Institute of Technology.

On attractor of Swift-Hohenberg equation in unbounded domain and its Kolmogorov entropy
[ Abstract ]
The main objective of the talk is to give a description of the large-time behaviour of solutions of the Swift-Hohenberg equation in unbounded domain.This will be done in terms of the global attractor. Here we encounter serious difficulties due to the lack of compactness of the embedding theorems and the interplay between the different topologies will play crucial role.We prove the existence of the global attractor and show that the restriction of the attractor to any bounded sets has an infinite fractal dimension and present sharp estimate for its Kolmogorov entropy.Spatio-temporal chaotic dynamics on the attractor will also be discussed.

Spreading and draining in thin fluid films
[ Abstract ]
The surface tension driven flow of a thin fluid film arises in a number of contexts. In this talk, we will begin with an overview of thin film theory and present a number of examples from the natural sciences and industrial process engineering. Similarity solutions play an important role in understanding the dynamics of general thin film motion and we shall use them to investigate the dynamics of an archetypal (degenerate high-order parabolic) thin film equation. In this context, we will encounter self-similarity of the first and second kind, undertake an investigation of a four-dimensional phase space and discover a surprisingly rich set of stable sign-changing solutions for the intermediate asymptotics of a generalised problem.
