    2014-Vance-Eads-Sensitivity Analysis of a Three-Species Nonlinear Response Omnivory Model with Predator Stage Structure
    We investigate a three-species nonlinear response omnivory model incorporating stage structure in the top predator. The model consists of four coupled ordinary differential equations involving fourteen parameters.

    2011-Yanyu_Xiao-Study of Malaria Transmission Dynamics by Mathematical Models
    The novelty lies in the fact that different distribution functions are used to describe the variance of individual latencies. The theoretical results of this project indicate that latencies reduce the basic reproduction number.
