Multi-scale Modelling for Threshold Dependent Differentiation.

چکیده
The maintenance of a stable stem cell population in the epidermis is important for robust regeneration of the stratified epithelium. The population size is usually regulated by cell secreted extracellular signalling molecules as well as intracellular molecules. In this paper, a simple model incorporating both levels of regulation is developed to examine the balance between growth and differentiation for the stem cell population. In particular, the dynamics of a known differentiation regulator c-Myc, its threshold dependent differentiation, and feedback regulation on maintaining a stable stem cell population are investigated.

Multiple model simulation: modelling cell division and differentiation in the prostate
We describe an approach to building a hybrid multi-scale model, using a Petri net model for the top layer, and object-oriented models at the lower layers, with a rigorous definition of how the layers compose. We apply this approach to building a model of prostate cell division and differentiation, with each model layer describing the processes at a suitable level of abstraction. This provides a...

Magnetotellurics is an exploration method which is based on measurement of natural electric and magnetic fields of the Earth and is increasingly used in geological applications, petroleum industry, geothermal sources detection and crust and lithosphere studies. In this work, discrete wavelet transform of magnetotelluric signals was performed. Discrete wavelet transform decomposes signals into c...

متن کاملA multi-scale segmentation/object relationship modelling methodology for landscape analysis
Natural complexity can best be explored using spatial analysis tools based on concepts of landscape as process continuums that can be partially decomposed into objects or patches. We introduce a five-step methodology based on multi-scale segmentation and object relationship modelling. Hierarchical patch dynamics (HPD) is adopted as the theoretical framework to address issues of heterogeneity, s...
