When mechanistic models explain
Not all models are explanatory. Some models are data summaries. Some models sketch explanations but leave crucial details unspecified or hidden behind filler terms. Some models are used to conjecture a how-possibly explanation without regard to whether it is a how-actually explanation. I use the Hodgkin and Huxley model of the action potential to illustrate these ways thatmodels can be useful w...
متن کاملHow scientific models can explain
Scientific models invariably involve some degree of idealization, abstraction, or fictionalization of their target system. Nonetheless, I argue that there are circumstances under which such false models can offer genuine scientific explanations. After reviewing three different proposals in the literature for how models can explain, I shall introduce a more general account of what I call model e...
متن کاملMicrobiome and Asthma: What Have Experimental Models Already Taught Us?
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that imposes a substantial burden on patients, their families, and the community. Although many aspects of the pathogenesis of classical allergic asthma are well known by the scientific community, other points are not yet understood. Experimental asthma models, particularly murine models, have been used for over 100 years in order to better understand th...
متن کاملPattern Approach to Build Traditional Graphic Frameworks
Architecture of a light weight three dimensional graphic framework model using traditional graphic methods is presented in this paper. The traditional graphics concepts are redesigned and remodeled for present requirements and development technologies. A pattern approach is adapted for presenting the model. Several pattern frames are suggested based on this model to suit new development methodo...
متن کاملCan Fireball Models Explain Gamma Ray Bursts?
The observed afterglows of gamma ray bursts, in particular that of GRB 970228 six months later, rule out spherical explosions powered by mergers or accretion induced collapse of compact stellar objects in galaxies as the origin of Gamma Ray Bursts. They can be produced by superluminal jets from such sources.
