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

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 ...

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 ...

Summary results of the 2014-2015 DARPA Chikungunya challenge
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018 Background: Emerging pathogens such as Zika, chikungunya, Ebola, and dengue viruses are serious threats to national and global health security. Accurate forecasts of emerging epidemics and their severity are critical to minimizing subsequent mortality ...

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 ...

Mechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches [PDF]
, 2015 The suite of factors that drives where and under what conditions a species occurs has become the focus of intense research interest. Three general categories of methods have emerged by which researchers address questions in this area ...
