Mechanistic models in computational social science [PDF]
Frontiers in Physics, 2015 Quantitative social science is not only about regression analysis or, in general, data inference. Computer simulations of social mechanisms have an over 60 years long history. They have been used for many different purposes—to test scenarios, to test the

Biodiversity Dynamics on Islands: Explicitly Accounting for Causality in Mechanistic Models
Diversity, 2017 Island biogeography remains a popular topic in ecology and has gained renewed interest due to recent theoretical development. As experimental investigation of the theory is difficult to carry out, mechanistic simulation models provide useful alternatives.

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 ...

Building and Understanding the Minimal Self
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Within the methodologically diverse interdisciplinary research on the minimal self, we identify two movements with seemingly disparate research agendas – cognitive science and cognitive (developmental) robotics.

Modulating Immune Response in Viral Infection for Quantitative Forecasts of Drug Efficacy
Pharmaceutics, 2023 The antiretroviral drug, the total level of viral production, and the effectiveness of immune responses are the main topics of this review because they are all dynamically interrelated.

Life-stage dependent response of the epiphytic lichen Lobaria pulmonaria to climate
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022 Lichens are poikilohydric organisms, whose internal water content tends to reflect external humidity conditions. After drying, they can reactivate their metabolic activity through water vapor uptake or liquid water input.

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021 Modelling human mobility is crucial in several areas, from urban planning to epidemic modelling, traffic forecasting, and what-if analysis. Existing generative models focus mainly on reproducing the spatial and temporal dimensions of human mobility ...

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 ...
