Scientific Model (Modeling)

2014
According to Johnson and Lesh (2003, p. 274), a model must consist of “elements, relations, operations, and rules governing interactions …” For instance, scientists interested in studying water flow in a river might produce a scaled-down version of the river in the laboratory based on the length and width of the river including the same kind of rock ...

VASCULAR CALCIFICATION: LESSONS FROM SCIENTIFIC MODELS

Journal of Renal Care, 2009
SUMMARYPatients with chronic kidney disease have increased cardiovascular mortality from a combination of increased atherosclerotic disease, left ventricular hypertrophy and increased prevalence of vascular calcification (VC). Previously VC was thought to be a passive process which involved the deposition of calcium and phosphate into the vessel wall ...

Integrating Scientific Modeling and Socio-Scientific Reasoning to Promote Scientific Literacy

2021
Socio-scientific issues (SSI) are widely advocated as a productive context for promoting scientific literacy that aims to prepare responsible citizens who can use science in their daily lives. However, many teachers find it challenging to enact SSI and consider SSI and discipline-based instruction as mutually exclusive approaches to science teaching ...

Sociological Models of Scientific Knowledge

International Sociology, 1997
In contemporary advanced societies, the study of science and technology has acquired huge importance; this has been possible also thanks to the sociology of science. It is a hybrid specialty, because it derives from the sociology of knowledge and the social history of science, and yet is more and more conditioned by economics and politics.

Analyzing scientific activity dominancies on scientific workflow models

16th International Conference on Advanced Communication Technology, 2014
In this paper, we propose an algorithmic approach for analyzing (control-flow and data-flow driven) dominancies among scientific activities in a scientific workflow model supported by data intensive experiment procedures and large scale computing environments.

Modelling Scientific Knowledge

2017
The various methods to acquire knowledge are the basis of alternative models of science. With regard to science, one may speak of models in different senses, but the two main ones are models of science and models in science. Models of science are representations of how scientists build their theories.

Proto-Models, Mental Models and Scientific Models

2015
This chapter focuses explicitly on scientific modeling, drawing from some conclusions made explicit in the previous chapter. The interlocutors of my argumentation will be the contemporary philosophical actors of the debate about scientific models, especially advocates of fictionalism (Frigg, Fiction in science, 247–287, 2010b; Suarez, Fictions ...

Counterfactuals, Models, and Scientific Realism

Counterfactuals abound in science, especially when one deals with models. Some models, namely highly idealized models, have assumptions that are metaphysically impossible. This means that in science one has often to deal with counterpossibles. According to the standard semantics for counterfactuals, all counterpossibles are vacuously true.
