SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Luis Hasenauer
DESCRIPTION:Bootstrap-Based Robustness Analysis of Parameter Optimization in Climate Models Using QuadTune\nLuis Hasenauer\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nTuning the parameters of climate models is essential for improving their performance\, but this process is often complicated by structural limitations\, overfitting\, and trade-offs between different regions or variables. In my thesis\, I combined the QuadTune optimization framework with nonparametric bootstrap resampling to analyze parameter uncertainty and identify tuning conflicts. \nAdvisor:\nVincent Larson \nCommittee Members:\nDavid Spade\, Daniel Gervini

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Micah Hesketh
DESCRIPTION:Compartmental Ordinary Differential Equation Model of the Amyloid-beta Cascade Hypothesis in Transgenic TgF-344AD Rats\nMr. Micah Hesketh\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nAlzheimer’s disease is a devastating neurodegenerative disease whose etiology is poorly understood and for which current treatments provide modest control of symptoms. There are many different hypotheses which seek to explain the cause of this disease\, one of which is the Amyloid-beta cascade hypothesis. To better investigate the causes and progression of the disease\, animal models have been developed\, notably the transgenic TgF344-AD rat. We combine observations on the accumulation of amyloid-beta\, changes in neuronal density\, and a decline in cognitive performance in rats with a simple compartmental ordinary differential equation model based on the Amyloid-beta cascade hypothesis. \nAdvisor:\nPeter Hinow \nCommittee Members:\nDr. Peter Hinow\, Dr. Gabriella Pinter\, and Dr. Lijing Sun

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Cheri Janardhanan
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Development of Function Concepts in the Illustrative Mathematics Curriculum\nMr. Cheri Janardhanan\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThis thesis examines the evolution of function concepts within the Illustrative\nMathematics (IM) curriculum\, focusing on how these concepts are introduced\,\ndeveloped\, and assessed from Grade 8 through secondary school. By analyzing\ncurriculum materials\, instructional strategies\, and student outcomes\, this study\naims to provide insights into the effectiveness of the IM approach in fostering a\ndeep understanding of functions among high school students. \nAdvisor:\nKevin McLeod
