Spatial memory is one of the cognitive processes that may affect the movement and navigation of the animals. We will review several mathematical approaches of animal spatial movements: (i) reaction\u002Ddiffusion\u002Dadvection model with time\u002Ddelayed memory\u002Dbased movement\u003B and (ii) reaction\u002Ddiffusion\u002Dadvection model with a non\u002Dlocal advection term driven by a cognitive map representing memory of past animal locations embedded in the environment.

This nonlinear response can be further enhanced by processing semiconductor heterostructures as metasurfaces in which intersubband transitions are coupled to optical modes of the metasurface nanoresonators [1]. As a result, one can fabricate large area optically thin films that display second\u002D and third\u002Dorder nonlinear optical susceptibility values 4\u002D7 orders of magnitude higher than that of traditional nonlinear optical crystals. Using these films, one can achieve efficient (0.1\u002D1%) frequency mixing at moderate pumping intensities (10\u002D100 kW/cm) without phase\u002Dmatching constraints associated with bulk nonlinear optical crystals [2,3]. In this presentation, I will discuss our recent advancements with these metasurfaces, focusing on dynamic electrical phase control of the nonlinear optical response at the individual nanoresonator level [4,5] and on efficient continuous\u002Dwave terahertz generation with unprecedented tuning range of 1\u002D11 THz via difference\u002Dfrequency mixing [6]. \u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp\u003B\u0026nbsp\u003B\u0026nbsp\u003B\u003Cbr\u003E\u0026nbsp\u003B\u0026nbsp\u003B\u0026nbsp\u003B[1] J.

Early adopters experienced significantly larger gains in literacy (0.22 SD) and numeracy (0.29 SD). Effects were stronger in rural than urban schools, narrowing rural\u0026ndash\u003Burban learning gaps, while numeracy gains were not significant in lower\u002DSES schools. Overall, the findings suggest that curriculum reform can lead to meaningful learning gains, though equity challenges remain.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E", "location": "Teaching Academy: 102", "location_url": "http://map.ucf.edu/locations/93/teaching\u002Dacademy/", "virtual_url": null, "registration_link": null, "registration_info": null, "starts": "Mon, 26 Jan 2026 10:45:00 -0500", "ends": "Mon, 26 Jan 2026 11:30:00 -0500", "ongoing": "False", "category": "Speaker/Lecture/Seminar", "tags": ["Education","lecture","Fulbright","international"], "contact_name": "Scott Waring", "contact_phone": null, "contact_email": "Scott.Waring@ucf.edu", "url": "https://events.ucf.edu/event/4033911/fulbright-scholar-program-lecture/" } , { "event_id": "1064645", "eventinstance_id": "4025562", "calendar": { "id": 1, "title": "Events at UCF", "slug": "events-at-ucf", "url": "https://events.ucf.edu/calendar/1/events-at-ucf/" }, "id": "4025562", "title": "Big Red Bus \u002D Donate Blood Today!", "subtitle": null, "description": "\u003Cp\u003EHelp us maintain a safe and ready blood supply for cancer patients, trauma patients, or when unexpected tragedies occur.
