A model of biological indeterminacy
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1972Abstract It is a known mathematical fact that the introduction of statistical indeterminacy by means of quantum mechanics (including statistical mechanics) has not loosened up theoretical physics enough so that theoretical biologists could go essentially beyond reductionism. A different type of indeterminacy, designated biological, is introduced here,

The development of largangians for biological models
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1982A modern theory of the calculus of variations is used to form necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Lagrangian representation of a system of first-order ordinary differential equations. There exists a theorem to the effect that when a system of ordinary differential equations is variationally self-adjoint, the fulfillment of such ...

A FRAMEWORK FOR MODELS OF BIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR
International Journal of Neural Systems, 1999Modelling is most clearly understood as a adjunct in the process of deriving predictions from hypotheses. By representing a hypothesised mechanism in a model we hope by manipulating the model to understand the hypotheses' consequences. Eight dimensions on which models of biological behaviour can vary are described: the degree of realism with which ...

2005
Abstract Guiding the work of most linguists and philosophers of language today is the assumption that language is governed by rules. This volume presents a different way of viewing the partial regularities that language displays, the way they express norms and conventions.

Modelling of Biological Materials
2007One of the greatest challenges of science is to assist in enhancing the quality and longevity of life. To be able to meaningfully meet such an expectation it is necessary to meld the preventive and curative aspects of medicine and to provide the practitioner of medicine with predictive capabilities that can be brought by the development of ...

Model Checking of Biological Systems
2013Model checking together with other formal methods and techniques is being adapted for applications to biological systems. We present a selection of approaches used for modeling biological systems and formalizing their interesting properties in temporal logics. We also give a brief account of high performance model checking techniques and add a few case

Modeling of biological tree structures
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1979Biological tree-like structures, such as mammalian tracheobronchial airways, are complicated branching systems. One problem in modeling such systems is the reassignment of the number of segments at a given generation in the model being constructed. A hypothesis is proposed which has successfully been used in modeling mammalian lung airways.

Formal Models of Biological Systems
2017Recent biomedical research studies are focused in the mechanisms by which misfolded proteins lead to the generation of oxidative stress in the form of reactive oxygen species (ROS), often implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and aging. Moreover, biological experiments are designed to investigate how proteostasis depends on the balance between the ...

“It’s a curious sensation, isn’t it? Really thrilling … but why? You know, I get the feeling—or rather I see it—as if the ball is made of elastic, as if it’s expanding into an ellipse … shall we say trying to free itself?”
