This thesis is concerned with computational methods for fluid flows on the microscale, also known as microfluidics. This is motivated by current research in biological physics and miniaturization technology, where there is a need to understand complex flows involving microscale structures. Numerical simulations are an important tool for doing this. The first paper of the thesis presents a numer...

Preface Methods for computational neuroscience Computational neuroscience, and more generally theoretical neuroscience, has traditionally been looked at with some scepticism by the experimental neuroscience community. One of the reasons for this scepticism was that models were often disconnected from reality, describing situations that were too idealized compared to the actual biological comple...

∆u = ∂2u ∂x1 + ∂2u ∂x2 where x = (x1, x2) ∈ IR 2 are Cartesian coordinates. Even though the Poisson equation looks very special it is an important model case representing several problems from physics based on energy minimisation. Variations of the techniques we will study apply to a wide class of second order so-called elliptic problems. It is known that there are cases where no classical (i.e...

This paper motivates and details the first implementation of a freely available part of speech tag set and tagger for Coptic. Coptic is the last phase of the Egyptian language family and a descendant of the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. Unlike classical Greek and Latin, few resources for digital and computational work have existed for ancient Egyptian language and literature until now. We evalu...
