Mathematical Modelling With Young Learners [PDF]

, 2003
Current research is demonstrating that young children can make significant mathematical and social gains from working authentic modelling problems. This paper argues for the implementation of mathematical modelling activities within the elementary and ...

Modelling car-following dynamics with stochastic input-state-output port-Hamiltonian systems [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
In this contribution, we introduce a general class of car-following models with an input-state-output port-Hamiltonian structure. We derive stability conditions and long-term behavior of the finite system with periodic boundaries and quadratic ...

Modelling line edge roughness in periodic line-space structures by Fourier optics to improve scatterometry [PDF]

Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2014
In the present paper, we propose a 2D-Fourier transform method as a simple and efficient algorithm for stochastical and numerical studies to investigate the systematic impacts of line edge roughness on light diffraction pattern of periodic line-space ...

Mathematical Modelling in Neuroendocrinology [PDF]

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 2008
In neuroendocrinology, mathematical modelling is about formalising our understanding of the behaviour of the complex biological systems with which we deal. Formulating our explanations mathematically ensures their logical consistency, and makes them open to structured analysis; it is a stringent test of their intellectual coherence.

Quarantine and testing strategies in contact tracing for SARS-CoV-2: a modelling study

The Lancet Public Health, 2021
Summary: Background: In most countries, contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases are asked to quarantine for 14 days after exposure to limit asymptomatic onward transmission.

SARS-CoV-2 infection risk during delivery of childhood vaccination campaigns: a modelling study

BMC Medicine, 2021
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the delivery of immunisation services globally. Many countries have postponed vaccination campaigns out of concern about infection risks to the staff delivering vaccination, the children being vaccinated ...

Disentangling the Information in Species Interaction Networks

Entropy, 2021
Shannon’s entropy measure is a popular means for quantifying ecological diversity. We explore how one can use information-theoretic measures (that are often called indices in ecology) on joint ensembles to study the diversity of species interaction ...

The Lost Art of Mathematical Modelling [PDF]

, 2023
We provide a critique of mathematical biology in light of rapid developments in modern machine learning. We argue that out of the three modelling activities -- (1) formulating models; (2) analysing models; and (3) fitting or comparing models to data ...
