Modelling and Experimental Study of Wax Deposition in Transportation Line Using a Flow Loop System

Modelling of the ventricular conduction system.

The His-Purkinje conduction system initiates the normal excitation of the ventricles and is a major component of the specialized conduction system of the heart. Abnormalities and propagation blocks in the Purkinje system result in abnormal excitation of the heart. Experimental findings suggest that the Purkinje network plays an important role in ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, which i...

Second Year Progress Report

This progress report is about equation-based modelling languages. In particular, the report discusses work [4] on formalising semantic aspects of Functional Hybrid Modelling (FHM) [12] – a hybrid, structurally dynamic, non-causal modelling language – in the dependently-typed programming language Agda [13]. Section 2 gives a preliminary outline of equation-based languages and FHM. Section 3 give...

Pragmatic User Modelling in a Commercial Software System

While user modelling has become a mature field with demonstrable research systems of great power, comparatively little progress has been made in the development of user modelling components for commercial software systems. The development of minimalist user modelling components, simplified to provide just enough assistance to a user through a pragmatic adaptive user interface, is seen by many a...

Towards mechanistic models of plant organ growth.

Modelling and simulation are increasingly used as tools in the study of plant growth and developmental processes. By formulating experimentally obtained knowledge as a system of interacting mathematical equations, it becomes feasible for biologists to gain a mechanistic understanding of the complex behaviour of biological systems. In this review, the modelling tools that are currently available...
