Solvation free energy of light alkanes in polar and amphiphilic environments
Bibechana, 2018 Computer simulations of molecular models are powerful technique that have improved the under- standing of many biochemical phenomena. The method is frequently applied to study the motions of biological macromolecules such as protein and nucleic acids ...

Identification of Dynamical Models of Spatio-temporal Pattern Formation with Applications to Slime Mould [PDF]
, 2011 Spatio-temporal systems are non-linear dynamical systems which include both time and space information. Many natural phenomena and processes can be described by spatio-temporal models, such as pattern formation, chemical reactions and physical dynamics ...

A model for switch-like phenomena in biological systems [PDF]
, 2001 We present a model for the activity of protein clusters based on a simultaneous desorption of an activator (agonist, substrate molecule, etc.) and an inactivator (antagonist, inhibitor, etc.) caused by the collision or interaction between two effector ...

Biophysics of the cochlea. II. Steady-state non linear phenomena.
, 1996 Nonlinearities affecting cochlear mechanics produce appreciable compression in the basilar membrane (BM) input/output (I/O) functions at the characteristic frequency for sound-pressure levels (SPLs) as low as 20 dB (re: 20 mu Pa). This is thought to depend upon saturation of the outer hair cell (OHC) mechanoelectrical transducer (MET).

Dopaminergic And Cholinergic Modulation In A Biophysical Model Of The Neostriatum [PDF]
, 2007 Although interaction between dopaminergic and cholinergic modulation is clearly important for normal striatal function, the precise mechanism of this interaction is far from clear.
