An integrative modeling approach to elucidate suction-feeding performance

An integrative modeling approach to elucidate suction-feeding performance.

Research on suction-feeding performance has mostly focused on measuring individual underlying components such as suction pressure, flow velocity, ram or the effects of suction-induced forces on prey movement during feeding. Although this body of work has advanced our understanding of aquatic feeding, no consensus has yet emerged on how to combine all of these variables to predict prey-capture p...

An integrative approach to modeling biological networks

Networks are used to model real-world phenomena in various domains, including systems biology. Since proteins carry out biological processes by interacting with other proteins, it is expected that cellular functions are reflected in the structure of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Similarly, the topology of residue interaction graphs (RIGs) that model proteins' 3-dimensional structu...

An Integrative Approach to Support Multi-perspective Business Process Modeling

Business process modeling (BPM) has become a dominating approach for organizations to understand, plan and optimize their business processes. BPM has also become an important part in service systems development because it helps to identify service activities embedded in business processes. Several modeling languages have been developed to support BPM, including IDEF, BPMN and EPC. Yet, our rese...

An Integrative Bayesian Modeling Approach to Imaging Genetics.

In this paper we present a Bayesian hierarchical modeling approach for imaging genetics, where the interest lies in linking brain connectivity across multiple individuals to their genetic information. We have available data from a functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) study on schizophrenia. Our goals are to identify brain regions of interest (ROIs) with discriminating activation patterns betwee...
