Linear oscillators are used for modeling a diverse array of natural systems, for instance acoustics, materials science, and chemical spectroscopy. In this paper I describe simple models of structural interactions in biological molecules, known as elastic network models, as a useful topic for undergraduate biology instruction in mathematical modeling. These models use coupled linear oscillators ...

Background: There is growing awareness surrounding the importance of wound pain, recognised by the publication of recent international studies (White, 2008). Wound pain has been identified as an outcome important to patients, in addition to physiological endpoints. It can be difficult to use randomised controlled trials to measure subjective outcomes such as pain, particularly with complex pati...

The dynamics of resource contention in multiagent systems with imperfect information can be extremely complex, ranging from nonlinear oscillations to chaotic behavior. It was shown by Hogg and Huberman that it is possible to stabilize such systems by allowing agents to follow different strategies. We now show that there is a wide range of possible strategies consistent with the existing equilib...

NL-addressing is a possibility to access information using natural language words as addresses of the information stored in the multi-dimensional numbered information spaces. For this purpose the internal encoding of the letters is used to generate corresponded co-ordinates. The tool for working in such style is named OntoArM. Its main principles, functions and using for storing RDF graphs are ...

The fact that low intensity light has certain therapeutic effect has been proven through a number of research studies. There are studies that showed the applied electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in the visible and infrared light range can modulate protein and cellular activity. Here we have evaluated experimentally the hypothesis of the Resonant Recognition Model (RRM) that selectivity of protein...
