A stochastic model of icosahedral capsid growth.
A stochastic model of symbiosis
We consider a system of stochastic differential equations which models the dynamics of two populations living in symbiosis. We prove the existence, uniqueness and positivity of solutions. We analyse the long-time behaviour of both trajectories and distributions of solutions. We give a biological interpretation of the model.
A Stochastic Solver of the Generalized Born Model
A stochastic generalized Born (GB) solver is presented which can give predictions of energies arbitrarily close to those that would be given by exact effective GB radii, and, unlike analytical GB solvers, these errors are Gaussian with estimates that can be easily obtained from the algorithm. This method was tested by computing the electrostatic solvation energies (ΔGsolv) and the electrostatic binding energies (ΔGbind) of a set of DNA-drug complexes, a set of protein-drug complexes, a set of protein-protein...
A stochastic symbiosis model with degenerate diffusion process
We present a model of symbiosis given by a system of stochastic differential equations. We consider a situation when the same factor influences both populations or only one population is stochastically perturbed. We analyse the long-time behaviour of the solutions and prove the asymptoptic stability of the system.

A Team Approach to Undergraduate Research in Biomathematics: Balance Control
The question, how does an organism maintain balance? provides a unifying theme to introduce undergraduate students to the use of mathematics and modeling techniques in biological research. The availability of inexpensive high speed motion capture cameras makes it possible to collect the precise and reliable data that facilitates the development of relevant mathematical models. An in–house laboratory component ensures that students have the opportunity...

A theoretical comparison of disco and CADIAG-II-like systems for medical diagnoses
In this paper a fuzzy relation-based framework is shown to be suitable to describe not only knowledge-based medical systems, explicitly using fuzzy approaches, but other ways of knowledge representation and processing. A particular example, the practically tested medical expert system Disco, is investigated from this point of view. The system is described in the fuzzy relation-based framework and compared with CADIAG-II-like systems that are a “pattern” for computer-assisted diagnosis systems based...
A three dimensional finite element method for biological active soft tissue formulation in cylindrical polar coordinates
A hyperelastic constitutive law, for use in anatomically accurate finite element models of living structures, is suggested for the passive and the active mechanical properties of incompressible biological tissues. This law considers the passive and active states as a same hyperelastic continuum medium, and uses an activation function in order to describe the whole contraction phase. The variational and the FE formulations are also presented, and the FE code has been validated and applied to describe...

A time-dependent best choice problem with costs and random lifetime in organ transplants
This paper develops and analyzes a time-dependent optimal stopping problem and its application to the decision making process concerning organ transplants. Offers (organs for transplant) appear at jump times of a Poisson process. The values of the offers are i.i.d. random variables with a known distribution function. These values express the degree of histocompatibility between the donor and the recipient. The sequence of offers is independent of the jump times of the Poisson process. The decision...
A Time-dependent Biochemical System
A topological model of site-specific recombination that predicts the knot and link type of DNA products
This is a short summary of a topological model of site-specific recombination, a cellular reaction that creates knots and links out of circular double stranded DNA molecules. The model is used to predict and characterise the topology of the products of a reaction on double stranded DNA twist knots. It is shown that all such products fall into a small family of Montesinos knots and links, meaning that the knot and link type of possible products is significantly reduced, thus aiding their experimental...
