This report accompanies current research on membrane-inspired graph transformation systems. Contained within are details of a hypothetical model of cellular viral infection and subsequent immunological response for some imagined multicellular organism. Section 2 presents the graph transformation rules in a concrete model (after the addition of aggregating attributes) detailing the complete beha...

In this paper we introduce the hypothetical simulation model (HSM) of physical support. The HSM predicts that people judge physical support by mentally simulating what would happen if the object of interest were removed. Two experiments test the model by asking participants to evaluate the extent to which one brick in a tower is responsible for the rest of the bricks staying on a table. The res...

This paper describes the development of an approximate physical model that can be used for generating diierent types of protein crystallization behaviors or responses in varying physico-chemical environments. The modeling process involves three stages, two of which have been completed. The model developed in Stage I was over-simpliied and was aimed at providing the right computational avor of t...

Schizophrenia is a disorder with a large number of clinical, neurobiological, and cognitive manifestations, none of which is invariably present. However it appears to be a single nosological entity. This article considers the likely characteristics of a pathology capable of such diverse consequences. It is argued that both deficit and psychotic symptoms can be manifestations of a single patholo...

The phenomenological model of Khossravi and Connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. The accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (APMD). The obtained APMD for correlative and predictive studies ...

This paper addresses a limitationof most deductive database systems: they cannot reason hypothetically. Although they reason eeectively about the world as it is, they are poor at tasks such as planning and design, where one must explore the consequences of hypothetical actions and possibilities. To address this limitation, we have developed a logic-programming language in which users can create...
