These host institutions are seeking internationally-renowned scholars whose research interests are in the fields of mathematical modeling in industrial applications, which include such areas as inverse problems, multi-scale and domain decomposition numerical analysis, parallel computing, etc. In addition to lecturing, involvement in research with the existing research groups of the relevant departments in these Ukrainian institutions is expected, as well as advising on the development of new educational programs (M.Sc. and Ph.D.). The goal of the program is threefold: 1. to establish at IFNU and formalize a new educational program for the preparation of a Master of Science degree in Mathematical and Computer Modeling; 2. to develop standards and curriculum for a new Ph.D. program in applied mathematics in addition to upgrading the existing Candidate Degree program; 3. to formulate mathematical problems and develop solutions which employ direct and inverse strategies of interpretation of phenomena that occur or are used in industry. More information about the Industrial Applied Mathematics Award (#3351) goals and organization can be found in the project proposal. http://znc.com.ua/ukr/cooperation/fulbright/industrial_applied_mathematics_project_proposal.pdf The deadline for applications to the Fulbright Scholar Program for the 2013-2014 academic year (Award # 3351) is August 1, 2012. The award will be in effect for 5 years. The term of the position can vary from 3 months to 10 months (one or two semesters). Requirements for applicants and other conditions are specified by the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program. For further information about the U.S. Fulbright Scholar Program and the Fulbright Program in Ukraine, please consult: Fulbright Program in Ukraine: http://www.fulbright.org.ua Institute of International Education in the USA: http://www.cies.org/us_scholars. Sincerely yours, Andriy Synyavskyy ----------------------------- Subject: Some questions about inverse problem of root water uptake From: weiz1983 Date: 4/29/2012 I want to solve the inverse problem of root water uptake. I have done some work about the inverse problem of one-dimensional equation by MATLAB in April, but the inverse problems of two-,or three-dimensional equation are beyond my ability. I want to solve these inverse problem coupled with Genetic Algorithms. Please see the document http://janus.math.msu.edu/ipnet/ipnet_archive/digest_appendices/Appendix_to_Digest_v19n04/root_water_uptake.pdf for your reference. The equation and unknown variable(s)can be seen from the document. Any help would be appreciated.
