Compartmental models of immunological tolerance
An administration of large doses of an antigen brings about immunological tolerance (unresponsiveness) to the next challenge with the same antigen. A hypothesis on the mechanism of tolerance to Human Serum Albumin (HSA) induced in chickens was formulated mathematically using compartmental models. By comparison of the modelled and experimental results, the presence of some additional mechanism w...
متن کاملCompartmental models of growing neurites
To investigate the morphological and electrical development of neurons using computer models it is useful to extend the compartmental modelling framework to include the situation where neurites (dendrites and axons) may change their length, diameter and membrane characteristics over time. This requires changing the size and other properties of existing compartments and adding new compartments d...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography compartmental models.
The current article presents theory for compartmental models used in positron emission tomography (PET). Both plasma input models and reference tissue input models are considered. General theory is derived and the systems are characterized in terms of their impulse response functions. The theory shows that the macro parameters of the system may be determined simply from the coefficients of the ...
متن کاملContextual lumpability
Quantitative analysis of computer systems is often based on Markovian models. Among the formalisms that are used in practice, Markovian process algebras have found many applications, also thanks to their compositional nature that allows one to specify systems as interacting individual automata that carry out actions. Nevertheless, as with all state-based modelling techniques, Markovian process ...
متن کاملProducts of Compartmental Models in Epidemiology
We show that many structured epidemic models may be described using a straightforward product structure in this paper. Such products, derived from products of directed graphs, may represent useful refinements including geographic and demographic structure, age structure, gender, risk groups, or immunity status. Extension to multistrain dynamics, that is, pathogen heterogeneity, is also shown to...
