Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1999 Models are tools; they need to fit both the hand and the task. Presence or absence of a feature such as a pacemaker or a cascade is not in itself good. Or bad. Criteria for model evaluation involve benefit‐cost ratios, with the numerator a function of the range of phenomena explained, goodness of fit, consistency with other nearby models, and ...

Thermodynamic insight into stimuli-responsive behaviour of soft porous crystals
Nature Communications, 2018 Knowledge of the thermodynamic potential is crucial to characterize the macroscopic state of soft porous crystals. Here, the authors present a generalized thermodynamic approach to construct the Helmholtz free energy and identify the conditions under ...

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018 Background Malaria transmission is both seasonal and heterogeneous, and mathematical models that seek to predict the effects of possible intervention strategies should accurately capture realistic seasonality of vector abundance, seasonal dynamics of ...

Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2011 In theory, the combination of mathematical modeling with experimental studies can be a powerful and compelling approach to understanding cell biology. In practice, choosing appropriate problems, identifying willing and able collaborators, and publishing the resulting research can be remarkably challenging.

, 2009 Model-driven engineering and model-based approaches have permeated all branches of software engineering; to the point that it seems that we are using models, as Molière's Monsieur Jourdain was using prose, without knowing it. At the heart of modeling, there is a relation that we establish to represent something by something else.

Direct and inverse problems for nonlocal heat equation with boundary conditions of periodic type
Boundary Value Problems, 2022 A mathematical model of the process of heat diffusion in a closed metal wire is considered. This wire is wrapped around a thin sheet of insulation material. We assume that the insulation is slightly permeable.
