Mechanistic Modelling of Radiation Responses [PDF]
Cancers, 2019 Radiobiological modelling has been a key part of radiation biology and therapy for many decades, and many aspects of clinical practice are guided by tools such as the linear-quadratic model. However, most of the models in regular clinical use are abstract and empirical, and do not provide significant scope for mechanistic interpretation or making ...

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 ...

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,

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

Systems immunology: When systems biology meets immunology
Frontiers in ImmunologyThe immune system is an intricate network of cells, proteins, and signaling pathways that coordinate protective responses and, when dysregulated, drive immune−related diseases.

Bridging Mechanistic and Phenomenological Models of Complex Biological Systems
, 2016 The inherent complexity of biological systems gives rise to complicated mechanistic models with a large number of parameters. On the other hand, the collective behavior of these systems can often be characterized by a relatively small number of ...

A Mechanistic Model for Ncd Directionality [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001 Ncd is a kinesin-related protein that drives movement to the minus-end of microtubules. Pre-steady-state kinetic experiments have been employed to investigate the cooperative interactions between the motor domains of the MC1 dimer and to establish the ATPase mechanism.

Comparison of Pruning Regimes for Stone Pine (Pinus pinea L.) Using a Functional- Structural Plant Model [PDF]
, 2012 Functional-Structural Plant Models (FSPM) are becoming important tools for modeling the structure and growth of plants, including complex organisms like trees.
