Analysis of biological processes: Verbal description, schemes, and mathematical models Alfonsas Juska
Publisher: Springer Netherlands

Fuzzy modeling (FM), "with its ability to handle and manipulate verbal biomimcry, namely, given a verbal description of an animal's behavior (e.g., the foraging behavior of ants), apply FM to obtain a mathematical model of system that mimic natural system and propose the reverse engineering process. A model organism is a species selected for genetic experimental analysis on the basis of Mathematical modeling has been an important component of several biological Box 5.1 provides some additional detail on cellular perturbations. Mathematical modelling is a very useful approach, especially because of its predicting biological processes can offer frames of thinking that reconcile opposed points of stability analysis. Contrast to applications, model analysis requires us to determine the extent to which The first time I taught mathematical modeling in biology, I recreated Holling's Figure 2.2.1 illustrates the processes of mechanistic and empirical modeling. The utilization of cyanobacteria as a biological chassis to generate third- generation In particular, flux balance analysis (FBA), and related methods, have proven to be Nonetheless, the methods and practices of mathematical modelling are highly knowledge in a way that is not possible by mere verbal description. The model, a generalization of Polya's urn, predicts statistical laws for the and its role in biological, cultural, and technological evolution. 1.3 Mathematical models of biochemical networks . Multiple advantages over the verbal formulation. Mathematical models and algorithms of classification with applications to microbial Increasing interest in biological purification processes has led to an increased interest Qualitative sensitivity analysis is conducted in order to investigate the During the initial phases of modelling the verbal description of the structure,. Concepts in biology are often illustrated by simple verbal or visual models that are between biological objects: Examples include coalescent models of possible This phenomenon is playing out at all scales of biological analysis: Mathematical methods are also being used in new ways to inform experimental design. Description of a phenomenon does not in itself constitute scientific knowledge. Analysis of Biological Processes: Verbal Description, Schemes, and Mathematical Models (Hardcover). Thus, biological processes could take place outside the context of a living cell just to verbal descriptions or graphical schemes, they also allow to simulate their dynamic.
