Mechanistic Model of Wound Contraction
Journal of Surgical Research, 1993The interplay between cellular, biochemical, and biomechanical phenomena which result in wound contraction is examined with the aid of a mathematical model. The model accounts for fibroblasts repopulating the wound extracellular matrix (ECM) by a combination of migration and proliferation and, in the course of exerting traction forces associated with ...

Abstract The empiric models discussed heretofore have not explicitly incorporated knowledge of specific biological mechanisms, although in some cases, the form of the dose–response model may be motivated by theoretical considerations, such as the linear-quadratic cell-killing model used in radiobiology (see Chapter 6). In some instances,

Radiation Embrittlement Mechanistic Modelling
Applied Mechanics Reviews, 1993The mechanistic models of radiation embrittlement for reactor vessel steels are reviewed and direction for improving these models is provided. Improvement in these mechanistic models will lead to predictive expressions for parameters of engineering interest.

Mechanistic models for wind dispersal
Trends in Plant Science, 2006The growing need for ecological forecasts of, for example, species migration, has increased interest in developing mechanistic models for wind dispersal of seeds, pollen and spores. Analytical models are only able to predict mean dispersal distances, whereas sophisticated trajectory simulation models are able to incorporate rare wind conditions causing

Applying Mechanistic Models in Bioprocess Development
2012The available knowledge on the mechanisms of a bioprocess system is central to process analytical technology. In this respect, mechanistic modeling has gained renewed attention, since a mechanistic model can provide an excellent summary of available process knowledge.

Mechanistic Modeling of Salmonellosis
Quantitative Microbiology, 2000The serious limitation of the available human data contributes to the need for making simplifying assumptions for dose-response modeling which has led to frequent use of a single function, the beta-Poisson function, as a default dose-response model form. This function is a concave, low-dose linear function.

Mechanistic Modelling and Risk Assessment
Pharmacology & Toxicology, 1993Abstract: Risk Assessment in the United States has been rapidly changing over the last few years. The historical methods and endpoints by which risk estimates were derived are gradually being replaced by newer methods and a broader spectrum of endpoints. For carcinogenic risk assessment, there is movement from the routinely used “linearized multistage

A Mechanistic Model for Partial Preferences
Theoretical Population Biology, 2000Classic prey optimal foraging model assumes that individual predators are globally omniscient; that is, they have exact knowledge of prey population densities in the environment. This study examines a spatially explicit individual-based model of a one-predator two-prey system where individual predators are assumed to be omniscient only locally, i.e ...

When mechanistic models explain
Synthese, 2006Not all models are explanatory. Some models are data summaries. Some models sketch explanations but leave crucial details unspecified or hidden behind filler terms. Some models are used to conjecture a how-possibly explanation without regard to whether it is a how-actually explanation.
