Mathematical Ecology of Cancer

It is an emerging understanding that cancer does not describe one disease, or one type of aggressive cell, but, rather, a complicated interaction of many abnormal features and many different cell types, which is situated in a heterogeneous habitat of normal tissue. Hence, as proposed by Gatenby, and Merlo et al, cancer should be seen as an ecosystem; issues such as invasion, competition, predat...

Meta-analysis in applied ecology.

This overview examines research synthesis in applied ecology and conservation. Vote counting and pooling unweighted averages are widespread despite the superiority of syntheses based on weighted combination of effects. Such analyses allow exploration of methodological uncertainty in addition to consistency of effects across species, space and time, but exploring heterogeneity remains controvers...

Mathematical Modelling in Applied Analysis

Mathematical modelling in applied analysis refers to exploiting mathematical knowledge about (classes of basic) equations with the aim to describe and analyse phenomena that appear in the natural and technical sciences. As an example we will show that low dimensional models can be derived for phenomena that appear in (perturbations of) dynamical Poisson systems with symmetries. We show that the...
