Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Here, we respond to Booth's criticism of our paper, “Predictive ability of a process‐based versus a correlative species distribution model.” Booth argues that our usage of the MaxEnt model was flawed and that the conclusions of our paper are by ...

Mathematical Modeling to Estimate Photosynthesis: A State of the Art
Applied Sciences, 2022 Photosynthesis is a process that indicates the productivity of crops. The estimation of this variable can be achieved through methods based on mathematical models. Mathematical models are usually classified as empirical, mechanistic, and hybrid.

Wiring optimization explanation in neuroscience: What is Special about it? [PDF]
, 2019 This paper examines the explanatory distinctness of wiring optimization models in neuroscience. Wiring optimization models aim to represent the organizational features of neural and brain systems as optimal (or near-optimal) solutions to wiring ...

How to Model Mechanistic Hierarchies [PDF]
Philosophy of Science, 2016 Mechanisms are usually viewed as hierarchical, with lower levels of a mechanism influencing, and decomposing, its higher-level behavior. To draw quantitative predictions from a model of a mechanism, the model must capture this hierarchical aspect. Recursive Bayesian networks (RBNs) were put forward by Lorenzo Casini et al.

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

The road to integrate climate change projections with regional land‐use–biodiversity models
People and NatureCurrent approaches to project spatial biodiversity responses to climate change mainly focus on the direct effects of climate on species while regarding land use and land cover as constant or prescribed by global land‐use scenarios.

Influence of temperature, UV-light wavelength and intensity on polypropylene photothermal oxidation [PDF]
, 2014 A criterion based on the energy absorbed by photosensitive species was proposed to describe the contribution of UV-light to the initiation of the polypropylene photothermal oxidation whatever the light source. The calculation of this energy was performed

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common pediatric ocular cancer, yet population‐based data on survival and risk factors remain limited. This study aimed to describe survival in a large national RB cohort and identify predictors of death and complications.

On the mechanistic understanding of predator feeding behavior using the functional response concept
Ecosphere, 2020 Functional response models describe the relationship between prey density and per capita prey consumption rate by a predator. Type II functional responses, in which density‐dependent predation occurs via a decelerating feeding rate, seem to prevail in ...

Nonlocal Mechanistic Models in Ecology: Numerical Methods and Parameter Inferences
Applied Sciences, 2023 Animals utilize their surroundings to make decisions on how to navigate and establish their territories. Some species gather information about competing groups by observing them from a distance, detecting scent markings, or relying on memories of ...
