Transport Equation Reduction for a Mathematical Model in Plant Growth

S. Boujena, A. Chiboub, J. Pousin (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this article a variational reduction method, how to handle the case of heterogenous domains for the Transport equation, is presented. This method allows to get rid of the restrictions on the size of time steps due to the thin parts of the domain. In the thin part of the domain, only a differential problem, with respect to the space variable, is to be approximated numerically. Numerical results are presented with a simple example. The variational...

Transport in a molecular motor system

Michel Chipot, Stuart Hastings, David Kinderlehrer (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Intracellular transport in eukarya is attributed to motor proteins that transduce chemical energy into directed mechanical energy. This suggests that, in nonequilibrium systems, fluctuations may be oriented or organized to do work. Here we seek to understand how this is manifested by quantitative mathematical portrayals of these systems.

Tumour angiogenesis model with variable vessels' effectiveness

Jan Poleszczuk, Iwona Skrzypczak (2011)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We propose a model of vascular tumour growth, which generalises the well recognised model formulated by Hahnfeldt et al. in 1999. Our model is based on the same idea that the carrying capacity for any solid tumour depends on its vessel density but it also incorporates vasculature quality which may be lost during angiogenesis as recognised by Jain in 2005. In the model we assume that the loss of vessel quality affects the diffusion coefficient inside the tumour. We analyse basic mathematical properties...

Two algorithms based on Markov chains and their application to recognition of protein coding genes in prokaryotic genomes

Małgorzata Grabińska, Paweł Błażej, Paweł Mackiewicz (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Methods based on the theory of Markov chains are most commonly used in the recognition of protein coding sequences. However, they require big learning sets to fill up all elements in transition probability matrices describing dependence between nucleotides in the analyzed sequences. Moreover, gene prediction is strongly influenced by the nucleotide bias measured by e.g. G+C content. In this paper we compare two methods: (i) the classical GeneMark algorithm, which uses a three-periodic non-homogeneous...

Typical Atherosclerotic Plaque Morphology

R. N. Poston, D. R.M. Poston (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Atherosclerosis always develops in plaques, and the reasons are not clear. We test the hypothesis that plaque morphology results from a self-perpetuating propagating process driven by macrophages (Mphs). A computer model of atherogenesis was written in which the computer screen represents a surface view of a flattened area of an arterial wall on which greatly accelerated atherogenesis is depicted. Rate of Mph recruitment from blood monocytes is set as a steeply rising function of the number of...
