Community-Sourcing in Virtual Societies

Branzov, Todor (2016)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

The paper studies the approaches to development of goods with active participation of virtual community members. The concept of community-sourcing is presented as an alternative to the open source model and crowdsourcing. On that foundation a conceptual model of resource management system that use some current good practices of the IT industry is proposed. Results obtained in a virtual community implementing the model are presented as a validation attempt. ACM Computing Classification...

Drugs in the Classroom: Using Pharmacokinetics to Introduce Biomathematical Modeling

G. A. Koch-Noble (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Pharmacokinetics is an excellent way to introduce biomathematical modeling at the sophomore level. Students have the opportunity to develop a mathematical model of a biological phenomenon to which they all can relate. Exploring pharmacokinetics takes students through the necessary stages of mathematical modeling: determining the goals of the model, deciphering between the biological aspects to include in the model, defining the assumptions of the model, and finally, building, analyzing,...

Asymptotic Behavior in a Salmonella Infection Model

K. Prévost, C. Beaumont, P. Magal (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Salmonella is one of the major sources of toxi-infection in humans in France and United States. The incidence of human salmonellosis has considerably increased over the past 20 years and this can be largely attributed to epidemics of S. enteritidis phage type 4 in poultry in numerous countries. In this article, we formulate and analyse a model in which the transmission of the disease is determined by contact between hens and Salmonella in the environment.
