Mechanistic model of hormonal contraception
PLOS Computational Biology, 2020 Contraceptive drugs intended for family planning are used by the majority of married or in-union women in almost all regions of the world. The two most prevalent types of hormones associated with contraception are synthetic estrogens and progestins. Hormonal based contraceptives contain a dose of a synthetic progesterone (progestin) or a combination of

A mechanistic model of photosynthesis in microalgae [PDF]
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2002 AbstractA dynamic model of photosynthesis is developed, accounting for factors such as photoadaptation, photoinhibition, and the “flashing light effect.” The model is shown to explain the reported photosynthesis–irradiance responses observed under various conditions (constant low light, constant intense irradiance, flashing light, diurnal variation in ...

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 ...

Systems Biology and the Integration of Mechanistic Explanation and Mathematical Explanation [PDF]
, 2013 The paper discusses how systems biology is working toward complex accounts that integrate explanation in terms of mechanisms and explanation by mathematical models—which some philosophers have viewed as rival models of explanation.

Training deep neural density estimators to identify mechanistic models of neural dynamics
eLife, 2020 Mechanistic modeling in neuroscience aims to explain observed phenomena in terms of underlying causes. However, determining which model parameters agree with complex and stochastic neural data presents a significant challenge.

Predictive ability of a process‐based versus a correlative species distribution model
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Species distribution modeling is a widely used tool in many branches of ecology and evolution. Evaluations of the transferability of species distribution models—their ability to predict the distribution of species in independent data domains—are, however,
