CANDIDATE: Alexandra (Lexy) Lawryshyn ABSTRACT: We formulate and analyze a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations that describe key metabolic and immunological interactions between butyrate produced by fiber- fermenting gut microbiota, colorectal cancer cells and host cell populations. The model is studied both independently and in conjunction with a pre-existing carbohydrate fermentation model. The parameter space is explored through steady-state and sensitivity analyses. Simulation experiments are conducted to illustrate the...

CANDIDATE: Serge Adonsou ABSTRACT:  Quantum information processing promises exponential advantages for certain computational and communication tasks, but practical quantum devices are inherently vulnerable to de-coherence and operational imperfections. This thesis develops new algebraic and analytical tools for quantum error correction (QEC) aimed at unifying entanglement-assisted coding theory with operator-algebra frameworks, while also providing mathematically rigorous insights for continuous-variable photonic implementations. First...
