Coupling volume-excluding compartment-based models of diffusion at different scales: Voronoi and pseudo-compartment approaches.
Numerous processes across both the physical and biological sciences are driven by diffusion. Partial differential equations are a popular tool for modelling such phenomena deterministically, but it is often necessary to use stochastic models to accurately capture the behaviour of a system, especially when the number of diffusing particles is low. The stochastic models we consider in this paper ...
متن کاملThe pseudo-compartment method for coupling PDE and compartment-based models of diffusion
Spatial reaction-diffusion models have been employed to describe many emergent phenomena in biological systems. The modelling technique most commonly adopted in the literature implements systems of partial differential equations (PDEs), which assumes there are sufficient densities of particles that a continuum approximation is valid. However, due to recent advances in computational power, the s...

متن کاملTreelines—Approaches at Different Scales
Scales in treeline research depend on the objectives and must match the underlying natural processes. Factors and processes at one scale may not be as important at another scale. In the global view, the number of factors influencing climatic treeline position can be reduced to the effects of heat deficiency. Emphasis, however, should be laid on differentiation of the treeline by their regionall...
متن کاملDiffusion in the aqueous compartment
Measurements of diffusion of molecules in cells can provide information about cytoplasmic viscosity and structure. In a series of studies electron-spin resonance was used to measure the diffusion of a small spin label in the aqueous cytoplasm of mammalian cells. Translational and rotational motion were determined from the same spectra. Based on measurements made in model systems, it was hypothe...
