چکیده
A Primer on Mathematical Models in Biology Lee A. Segel and Leah Edelstein-Keshet This textbook grew out of a course that the popular and highly respected applied mathematician Lee Segel taught. It introduces differential equations, biological applications, and simulations and emphasizes molecular events, excitable systems, and small protein and genetic circuits. It is intended for upper-level undergraduates in mathematics, graduate students in biology, and lower-level graduate students in mathematics who would like exposure to biological applications. 2013 • xxvi + 424 • Softcover • 978-1-611972-49-8 List $69.00 • SIAM Member $48.30 • OT129

متن کاملA primer on the morphological patterning and mathematical modeling of the developing chick forelimb
The understanding of both the biological processes and current mathematical models which describe the temporospatial patterning of the vertebrate limb require a unique set of interdisciplinary knowledge. In an effort to acclimate researchers who are new to this topic, we provide within a description of the developmental biology of the chick embryo, with an emphasis on the signal transduction of...
متن کاملBook Review of Simulation: A Modeler’s Approach
This book partially fills a gap between mathematical models and agent-based approaches, acting as a primer in statistically-sophisticated simulation of concise models. Although Thompson’s moderately mathematical book contains some minor errors and is not comprehensive enough to be a “handbook of simulation”, it is definitely worth perusing for researchers interested in the intersection of simul...
متن کاملMolecular Detection of Bacterial Etiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and purpose: Etiology of rheumatoid arthritis is not fully recognized. The purpose of this study was to use universal and specific primers to trace bacteria in the blood and synovial fluid in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, a PCR method was developed to identify a wide range of bacteria in general and Staphylococcus aureus in sp...
متن کاملMathematical Models for Microbial Kinetics in Solid-State Fermentation: A Review
Context:In this review, we discuss empirical and stoichiometric models, which have been developed recently in SSF processes and the influence of environmental conditions on the variables of these models. Additionally, new studies on modeling of product formation are also mentioned. <span style="color: windowtext...
