In this thesis mathematical models with and without dynamic capillary effects are developed to model water flow and solute transport through a porous medium. The system of equations are discretised using the finite volume ...

In this thesis, I first present the grassland birds data from Wells(2007) which is used by several different methods of estimating the nest survival rates. The hierarchical Bayesian method from Cao(2009) then is introduced ...

Summary of Findings: In this thesis, first of all I have tried to describe what is demography and different ways to collect demographic data. Then, I have applied some of the demographic techniques to the population of ...

Hensikten med oppgaven er å undersøke en adaptiv kollokasjonsmetode basert på radielle basisfunksjoner. Målet er å finne ut om man med enkle kriterier for senter- og formparameterfordelingen kan oppnå en fordeling ...

Alle pattedyr som lever i sjøen må opp til overlata for å puste, og det er når dyra bryt overflata at det er mogeleg for oss å observere dei. Det er ikkje alltid lett å oppdage dyra, og sannsynligheten for å oppdage eit ...

The differences in demographic and life-history processes between organisms living in the same population have important consequences for ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Modern statistical and computational methods ...

In this thesis we study the BBM equation u_t+u_x+ \frac{3}{2}uu_x - \frac{1}{6} u_{xxt}= 0 which describes approximately the two-dimensional propagation of surface waves in a uniform horizontal channel containing an ...
