Applications of likelihood-free parameter inference methods on numerical models of cancer invasion
(2022-07-27) - ThesisIn this thesis, we present two different methods to estimate parameters within a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) model of cancer invasion and an Individual-based Model (IBM) derived from it. The PDE model was fitted ... -
Numerical experiments on reconnection in magnetic field configurations containing null points and separators
(University of St Andrews, 2021-10-26) - ThesisMagnetic fields containing null points offer favourable conditions for reconnection. In this thesis, numerical experiments attempt to gain insight into the reconnection process at these topological features. Null point ... -
Magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar corona : a mathematical investigation of the role of resonant absorption and phase mixing in coronal heating
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-29) - ThesisBackground: The Sun is a massive and highly dynamic ball of plasma, and oscillations in kinetic and magnetic energy are commonplace throughout its atmosphere. Since the plasma conducts electricity, we model the fluid using ... -
Transition region blinkers
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisBlinkers are small intensity enhancements seen in the transition region of the solar atmosphere. They are important because they give us a unique insight into the transition region which until recently, has not been studied ... -
Two-component relativistic wave equations for spin 1/2 particles
(University of St Andrews, 1974) - Thesis
