Suppose one injects a drug into an animal. What is the time course of the drug concentration in the blood and in the various organs of the body? Although preliminary attempts to set up mathematical models of this problem were made by Teorell [1], [2] and models of certain special cases have been considered by von Schrotter [3], Smith and Morales [4], and Morales and Smith [5], [6], it continues...

Computational modelling of biological processes and systems has witnessed a remarkable development in recent years. The search-term (modelling OR modeling) yields over 58000 entries in PubMed, with more than 34000 since the year 2000: thus, almost two-thirds of papers appeared in the last 5-6 years, compared to only about one-third in the preceding 5-6 decades. The development is fuelled both b...

Title of Document: ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICAL MODELS IN MARKETING. Ashwin Aravindakshan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007. Directed By: Professor Roland T. Rust, Department of Marketing This dissertation comprises a series of three essays that relate advances made to both theoretical and empirical issues in marketing. The first essay discusses the issue of endogeneity of market share and price in logit...

Aerotaxis is the particular form of chemotaxis in which oxygen plays the role of both the attractant and the repellent. Aerotaxis occurs without methylation adaptation, and it leads to fast and complete aggregation toward the most favorable oxygen concentration. Biochemical pathways of aerotaxis remain largely elusive, however, aerotactic pattern formation is well documented. This allows mathem...
