One lump or two?

چکیده
We investigate methods for modelling metabolism within populations of cells. Typically one represents the interaction of a cloned population of cells with their environment as though it were one large cell. The question is as to whether any dynamics are lost by this assumption, and as to whether it might be more appropriate to instead model each cell individually. We show that it is sufficient to model at an intermediate level of granularity, representing the population as two interacting lumps of tissue.

متن کاملVascularity of a breast lump
The aim of this study was to find if Doppler ultrasound of the axillary and lateral thoracic arteries in breast cancer cases would differ from benign breast lesions and normal controls. Two hundred patients with breast lumps were included in the study. Clinical examination, mammography, breast ultrasound and fine needle aspiration or tru-cut biopsies were done for all cases. Breast ultrasound i...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relationship between globus sensation and structural disorder of inlet patch in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease
Background: Inlet patch (IP) lesion is the presence of gastric columnar epithelial tissue outside of the stomach. Symptoms such as a lump in the throat, chronic cough, laryngitis, or other mouth-throat symptoms may be IP-related only and have no other abnormalities. This study aimed to determine the relationship between globus sensation and structural disorder of Inlet Patch in patients with ga...
متن کاملThe Interaction between Lump - sum Aid and the Substitution Effect of Matching Aid
(Abstract) According to one theory, consumer-voters mistake the lump-sum aid for matching aid such that the former reduces their tax price of the aided service, generating the substitution effect. This flypaper effect is more likely when both lump-sum aid and matching aid (or equivalent tax-price reducing mechanisms) coexist and there is a high likelihood of interaction between the lump-sum aid...
متن کاملSupervenience and Co-location
Co-location is compatible with the doctrine of microphysical supervenience. Microphysical supervenience involves intrinsic qualitative properties that supervene on microphysical structures. Two different objects, such as Socrates and the lump of tissue of which he is constituted, can be co-located objects that supervene on different sets of properties. Some of the properties are shared, but oth...
متن کاملThe Generation and Evolution of Lump Solitary Waves in Surface-Tension-Dominated Flows
Three-dimensional solitary waves or lump solitons are known to be solutions to the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili I equation, which models small-amplitude shallow-water waves when the Bond number is greater than 1 3 . Recently, Pego and Quintero presented a proof of the existence of such waves for the Benney–Luke equation with surface tension. Here we establish an explicit connection between the lump s...
