Mechanistic Modeling for the Masses
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2021 The generalizability crisis is compounded, or even partially caused, by a lack of specificity in psychological theories. Expanding the use of mechanistic models among psychologists is therefore important, but faces numerous hurdles. A cultural evolutionary approach can help guide and evaluate interventions to improve modeling efforts in psychology ...

Models and Mechanistic Insight [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 2008 “The mission of the Journal of General Physiology is to publish original work of the highest quality that elucidates basic biological, chemical, or physical mechanisms of broad physiological significance. This expectation—that the articles provide mechanistic insight—has served the Journal well; it also has been cause for much uncertainty, mostly ...

A Mechanistic Model of the Actin Cycle [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2004 We have derived a broad, deterministic model of the steady-state actin cycle that includes its major regulatory mechanisms. Ours is the first model to solve the complete nucleotide profile within filaments, a feature that determines the dynamics and geometry of actin networks at the leading edges of motile cells, and one that has challenged ...

A Practical Introduction to Mechanistic Modeling of Disease Transmission in Veterinary Science
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Computer-based disease spread models are frequently used in veterinary science to simulate disease spread. They are used to predict the impacts of the disease, plan and assess surveillance, or control strategies, and provide insights about disease ...

A Generalized Mechanistic Codon Model [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2014 Models of codon evolution have attracted particular interest because of their unique capabilities to detect selection forces and their high fit when applied to sequence evolution. We described here a novel approach for modeling codon evolution, which is based on Kronecker product of matrices.

Quantifying COVID-19 Content in the Online Health Opinion War Using Machine Learning
IEEE Access, 2020 A huge amount of potentially dangerous COVID-19 misinformation is appearing online. Here we use machine learning to quantify COVID-19 content among online opponents of establishment health guidance, in particular vaccinations (“anti-vax” ...

Paper Machine Modeling at Norske Skog Saugbrugs: A Mechanistic Approach [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 2002 In this paper a mechanistic model of a paper machine is presented. The model is developed as a foundation for the control of three selected variables; the basis weight, the paper ash content, and the white water total concentration (or wire tray total ...

, 1991 Several models and theories are reviewed that incorporate the idea of radiation-induced lesions (repairable and/or irreparable) that can be related to molecular lesions in the DNA molecule. Usually the DNA double-strand or chromatin break is suggested as the critical lesion.
