Ecological, toxicological, and pharmacological research is often concerned with the answer to the question of how a substance is processed within a biological system. The exact knowledge of the corresponding kinetic pattern forms the basis for a useful answer. In order to identify non-linear kinetics, a firstorder approximation method is proposed for complexity-reduction. A simulation study is ...

In the paper we discuss the transition from kinetic theory to macroscopic uid equations, where the macroscopic equations are deened as asymptotic limits of a kinetic equation. This relation can be used to derive computationally eecient domain decomposition schemes for the simulation of rareeed gas ows close to the continuum limit. Moreover, we present some basic ideas for the derivation of kine...

This study used an optimization procedure to evaluate an 8-segment torque-driven subject-specific computer simulation model of the takeoff phase in running jumps for height. Kinetic and kinematic data were obtained on a running jump performed by an elite male high jumper. Torque generator activation timings were varied to minimize the difference between simulation and performance in terms of ki...

Objective(s): To investigate the efficiency of a novel series of coumarin derivatives bearing benzoheterocycle moiety as novel cholinesterase inhibitors. Materials and Methods: Different 7-hydroxycoumarin derivatives were synthesized via Pechmann or Knoevenagel condensation and conjugated to different benzoheterocycle (8-hydroxyquinoline, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole or 2-mercaptobenzimidazole) using ...

In this paper we present a general derivation of kinetic models for traffic flows including different kind of interaction rules. We show that most kinetic models previously derived can be cast in the actual formulation. The development of Monte Carlo methods for direct simulation of the kinetic models is considered as an initial step towards realistic and efficient computations of traffic pheno...

We develop the kinetic theory of dilute cohesive granular gases in which the attractive part is described by a square well potential. We derive the hydrodynamic equations from the kinetic theory with the microscopic expressions for the dissipation rate and the transport coefficients. We check the validity of our theory by performing the direct simulation Monte Carlo.

A mathematical model for the interaction kinetic in phage-bacterium culture is proposed. An appropriate analytical relationship between phage and bacterial concentrations has been derived. Characteristic kinetic constants have been obtained by comparing the experimental growth curves with computer-simulation analysis. The model allows also to evaluate the phage-yield as a function of the initia...

Molecular simulation models have provided immense, often general, insight into the complex behavior of protein systems. Even for very detailed, e.g., atomistic, models, the generation of quantitatively accurate dynamical properties remains a formidable challenge. This lack of consistent dynamics largely hinders simulation models, especially coarse-grained models, from providing structural inter...

Design and manufacturing of a high performance micro-hydro-kinetic turbine is discussed in the present paper. The main goal is manufacturing an equipped experimental model of hydro-kinetic turbine with highest energy absorption from water current. A multi-shape ducted turbine comprised of a multi-part diffuser was manufactured that can be converted to many experimental models for studying vario...
