Mathematical modeling in environmental health.
Editorial In both recent and forthcoming issues of EHP, an increasing number of papers and news articles feature applications of statistical and mathematical modeling in environmental health. My comments focus on applications of mathematical models, which have become increasingly popular as tools for organizing and conducting the analysis of complex problems, partially because of easy access to...
متن کاملEnvironmental Problems , Uncertainty , and Mathematical Modeling
In this paper we discuss three rather special characteristics shared by many environmental problems. Namely, that (i) the environmental variables in which we are most interested constitute a stochastic process; (ii) the long-term or limiting behavior and the short-term or transient behavior are often both important; and (iii) the underlying probability distributions are likely to be influenced ...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Environmental Noise Impact
Noise can have negative impact on health. Hearing damage, annoyance, sleep disturbance, high blood pressure, poor cardiovascular health is all linked to community noise. Children, people with existing physical and mental illness and elderly people are most susceptible to community noise. High level of noise from sources such as busy traffic can adversely affect the health of the people living n...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling in Medicine
The present article considers mainly the complex mathematical models describing the basic physiological systems in human beings. At first, the main features of the physiological processes will be examined. Then approaches to mathematical modeling of blood circulation, respiration and heat regulation systems will be considered. A relatively simple system of blood sugar regulation will serve as a...
متن کاملMathematical modeling in neuroendocrinology.
Mathematical models are commonly used in neuroscience, both as tools for integrating data and as devices for designing new experiments that test model predictions. The wide range of relevant spatial and temporal scales in the neuroendocrine system makes neuroendocrinology a branch of neuroscience with great potential for modeling. This article provides an overview of concepts that are useful fo...
