Modeling acquaintance networks based on balance theory

Vida Vukašinović, Jurij Šilc, Riste Škrekovski (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

An acquaintance network is a social structure made up of a set of actors and the ties between them. These ties change dynamically as a consequence of incessant interactions between the actors. In this paper we introduce a social network model called the Interaction-Based (IB) model that involves well-known sociological principles. The connections between the actors and the strength of the connections are influenced by the continuous positive and negative interactions between the actors...

Building Mathematical Models and Biological Insight in an Introductory Biology Course

A. E. Weisstein (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

A growing body of literature testifies to the importance of quantitative reasoning skills in the 21st-century biology curriculum, and to the learning benefits associated with active pedagogies. The process of modeling a biological system provides an approach that integrates mathematical skills and higher-order thinking with existing course content knowledge. We describe a general strategy for teaching model-building in an introductory ...

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...

The Notion of Model in Software Engineering Понятието модел в софтуерните технологии

Sredkov, Miloslav (2011)

Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians

Similarity:

Милослав A. Средков - Понятията модел и моделиране се използват толкова интензивно в много дисциплини, че е трудно да им се придаде конретно значение. Дори в Софтуерните технологии, разбирането на тези понятия силно зависи от контекста. Ние смятаме, че това допринася за неконсистентността между подходите за моделиране там. В тази статия посочваме някои от произтичащите проблеми, както и важността да има подходяща дефиниция, съчетана с подходящи инструменти. Преглеждаме по-общите дефиниции...

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,...

Past, Present and Future of Brain Stimulation

J. Modolo, R. Edwards, J. Campagnaud, B. Bhattacharya, A. Beuter (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

Recent technological advances including brain imaging (higher resolution in space and time), miniaturization of integrated circuits (nanotechnologies), and acceleration of computation speed (Moore’s Law), combined with interpenetration between neuroscience, mathematics, and physics have led to the development of more biologically plausible computational models and novel therapeutic strategies. Today, mathematical models of irreversible...
