A mathematical model for dorsal closure.
During embryogenesis, drosophila embryos undergo epithelial folding and unfolding, which leads to a hole in the dorsal epidermis, transiently covered by an extraembryonic tissue called the amnioserosa. Dorsal closure (DC) consists of the migration of lateral epidermis towards the midline, covering the amnioserosa. It has been extensively studied since numerous physical mechanisms and signaling ...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملA cell-level biomechanical model of Drosophila dorsal closure.
We report a model describing the various stages of dorsal closure of Drosophila. Inspired by experimental observations, we represent the amnioserosa by 81 hexagonal cells that are coupled mechanically through the position of the nodes and the elastic forces on the edges. In addition, each cell has radial spokes representing actin filaments on which myosin motors can attach and exert contractile...
متن کاملA New Mathematical Model for Permeability of Composites
Study of permeability of Fibrous Composites is important in several natural and industrial processes in mechanical engineering. In this study, a comprehensive mathematical model is presented for calculation of normal permeability of ordered elliptical fibrous media. An innovative scale-analysis technique is employed for determining the normal permeability of elliptical fibrous media. In this te...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Multiple-Load AGVs in Tandem Layout
Reducing cost of material handling has been a big challenge for companies. Flexible manufacturing system employed automated guided vehicles (AGV) to maintain efficiency and flexibility. This paper presents a new non-linear mathematical programming model to group n machines into N loops, to make an efficient configuration for AGV system in Tandem layout. The model minimizes bot...
