Topics include: enzyme dynamics, spread of disease, harvesting bacteria, competition among live species, neuronal oscillations, transport of neurofilaments in axon, cancer and cancer therapy, and granulomas. Complete with a description of the biological background and biological question that requires the use of mathematics, this book is developed for graduate students and advanced undergraduate students with only basic knowledge of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations; background in biology is not required. Students will gain knowledge on how to program with MATLAB without previous programming experience and how to use codes in order to test biological hypothesis.Lecture Notes on Mathematical Modelling in the Life Sciences,2193-4789BiomathematicsBiophysicsBiophysicsMathematical and Computational Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31000Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Biomathematics.Biophysics.Biophysics.Mathematical and Computational Biology.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.570.15118Friedman Avnerauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut26273Kao Chiu-Yenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299982003321Mathematical Modeling of Biological Processes2535769UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress04182nam 22006135 450 991103505500332120251030120457.03-032-03453-110.1007/978-3-032-03453-3(CKB)41986909000041(MiAaPQ)EBC32384017(Au-PeEL)EBL32384017(DE-He213)978-3-032-03453-3(OCoLC)1549523134(EXLCZ)994198690900004120251030d2025 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Economic Impact of Intercollegiate Athletics on Former Students Unfulfilled Promises /by Richard J. Cebula, Robert N. Fenili, James V. Koch1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2025.1 online resource (299 pages)Palgrave Pivots in Sports Economics,2662-64463-032-03452-3 Chapter 1: Beer And Circus? -- Chapter 2: Where We Are -- Chapter 3: Where We Are -- Chapter 4: The Incomes Earned By Graduates -- Chapter 5: Intercollegiate Athletics And Earning “More Than High School” -- Chapter 6: Intercollegiate Athletics And Upward Economic Mobility.. Chapter 7: Intercollegiate Athletics And Student Debt -- Chapter 8: Portents For The Future.College graduates do not benefit economically from the intercollegiate athletic programs of their alma mater. Students provide substantial funding for their institution’s intercollegiate athletic programs via tuition and fees. In fact, a typical student is required to pay for such activities. Will this financial burden paid for during undergraduate years help them in the real world? Whether measuring the incomes earned by alumni, their upward economic mobility, or their record in paying off federal student loans, there is no subsequent economic payoff to graduates of institutions that spend large sums of money on athletic programs. And, in all actuality, evidence suggests that graduates of campuses with FBS (‘big-time”) football programs end up earning less than graduates of comparable non-FBS institutions. The statistical analysis provided in this book is derived from a sample of almost 700 four-year institutions between 2004 and 2022. The authors present the information and provide analysis, focusing on five different measures of economic success the alumni (for example, the incomes alumni earn after graduating). The book uses this data to explain that there is either no definitive positive connection—and, in fact, there might be a negative relationship—between intercollegiate athletic programs and the economic success of their alumni.
