Energy transfer in volume-reflecting heat shields

An approximate analytic solution is provided for the unsteady radiative heating of a highly scattering medium under constant heat flux boundary conditions. The accuracy of the method in representing the reflectance, radiative flux, and radiative flux divergence of the materials was also explored, as was the influence of anistropic scattering on these parameters

A mathematical model of the effect of a predator on species diversity

Mathematical model determines reaction between new predator and microbe competitor when the competitor is the predator's sole nutrient resource. The model utilizes differential equations to describe the interactions with the specific growth rates, and analyzes these growth rates as they are affected by population density and nutrient concentration

On the freeness of anticyclotomic selmer groups of modular forms

We establish the freeness of certain anticyclotomic Selmer groups of modular forms. The freeness of these Selmer groups plays a key role in the Euler system arguments introduced by Bertolini and Darmon in their work on the anticyclotomic main conjecture for modular forms. In particular, our result fills some implicit gaps which appeared in generalizations of the Bertolini-Darmon result to the case where the associated residual representation is not minimally ramified. The removal of such a minimal ramification hypothesis is essential for applications involving congruences of modular forms.Accepted manuscrip
