Systems biology is a multidisciplinary field that weaves together all the basic sciences through the use of computational and bioinformatics tools, to provide a more integrative view of the complex molecular interactions taking place within and among cells ...
Many diseases including sick building syndrome, respiratory problems and cancers can be caused by exposure to high concentrations of toxins commonly used in modern building materials, paints, glues and furniture. To minimize exposure to these toxins, it is ...
The present invention concerns a method for generating technical design solutions satisfying a given performance target for a building. The method comprises: selecting a design model for the building; selecting a first set of design parameters from a first ...
The collective dynamic behavior of large groups of interacting autonomous agents (swarms) have inspired much research in both fundamental and engineering sciences. It is now widely acknowledged that the intrinsic nonlinearities due to mutual interactions c ...
In this chapter, we discuss the methodology beyond the mathematical modeling of solar water-splitting cells. In particular, we focus on the governing mathematical equations and relationships at the continuum level for mass, energy, light, and species trans ...
In fusion plasmas, the strong magnetic field allows the fast gyro-motion to be systematically removed from the description of the dynamics, resulting in a considerable model simplification and gain of computational time. Nowadays, the gyrokinetic (GK) code ...
Given a finite n-element set X, a family of subsets F subset of 2(X) is said to separate X if any two elements of X are separated by at least one member of F. It is shown that if vertical bar F vertical bar > 2(n-1), then one can select vertical bar log n ...
Mathematical and numerical modelling of the cardiovascular system is a research topic that has attracted remarkable interest from the mathematical community because of its intrinsic mathematical difficulty and the increasing impact of cardiovascular diseas ...
A family of subsets of {1, ... , n} is called intersecting if any two of its sets intersect. A classical result in extremal combinatorics due to Erdos, Ko and Rado determines the maximum size of an intersecting family of k-subsets of {1, ... , n}. In this ...
Identification of mathematical models is an important task for the design and the optimization of biokinetic processes. Monod or Tessier growth-rate models are often chosen by default, although these models are not able to represent the dynamics of all bac ...
