Modeling of Continuity and Change in Biology

چکیده
Continuity and change is a core biology theme that refers to how genetic information is carried forward. This paper reports on our initial steps toward representing this core theme in an existing knowledge base and describes the methodological background and open challenges. We define continuity and change from a conceptual modeling perspective, identify its facets that require further ontological work, and present competency questions designed to check the adequacy of its representation. Moreover, we preliminarily explore of whether continuity and change must be explicitly represented as primitives in the representation of certain biological processes or whether it can be inferred from the

متن کاملModeling of the beam discontinuity with two analyses in strong and weak forms using a torsional spring model
In this paper, a discontinuity in beams whose intensity is adjusted by the spring stiffness factor is modeled using a torsional spring. Adapting two analyses in strong and weak forms for discontinuous beams, the improved governing differential equations and the modified stiffness matrix are derived respectively. In the strong form, two different solution methods have been presented to make an a...

Today, there are a few dozens of historical index houses in the city Sabzevar. Reviews show that up until now, despite the presence of their special characteristics, variety and role, there have not been comprehensive studies about them but through the presence of valuable samples from various historical periods (Teymouri, Safavid, Qajar, Pahlavi), their exposure to destruction through changing...
