Hey Islanders! Join us for Ms. Najla Alsudais' thesis defense on September 6, 2016 in Center for Science 104 at 9 a.m. titled: "Oil and Water Interaction: A Mathematical Modeling Approach."

Abstract: The physical characteristics of oil are subject to a complex transformation in the marine environment as a result of different biogeochemical processes that begin developing from the initial interaction between oil and sea water. The qualities of oil change at the initial direct interaction is due to mixture of physical, chemical and biological alteration and degradation. This thesis explores the changes in the main physical characteristics of spilled oil that occur after oil spill. To study these changes interdependent a coupled ordinary differential equations (ODE) system is developed and solved numerically using MATLAB. The primary purpose of the thesis was to develop a mathematical model that describes the behavior and final outcome of pollutants such as oil and oil products in marine environment. The model included the following oil spill process: evaporation, spreading, emulsification, loss of volume, and viscosity. Our results are compared with other mathematical models published in the literature.

Congratulations to Pragati Bannerjee and Anna Malachite on their successful completion of the MATH Masters program with Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. They attended the 2016 Summer Commencement last Saturday, August 6, 2016.

Pragati Bannerjee graduated with a thesis titled: "The Development of the Concept of Rates of Change and its Impact on Students’ Understanding of Functions".

Anna Malachite graduated with a thesis titled: "Connections in High School Math Textbooks that Support Understanding of Key Features of Graphs of Functions".

We wish them all the best!!
