BACKGROUND In addition to the molecular feedback loops, electrical activity has been shown to be important for the function of networks of clock neurons in generating rhythmic behavior. Most studies have used over-expression of foreign channels or pharmacological manipulations that alter membrane excitability. In order to determine the cellular mechanisms that regulate resting membrane potentia...

A model for the aerobic and anaerobic growth of Escherichia coli (HB101 K12 pGLO) depending on the concentration of oxygen and DOC as substrate has been developed based on laboratory batch experiments. Using inverse modelling to obtain optimal sets of parameters, it could be shown that a model based on a modified double Contois kinetic can predict cell densities, organic carbon utilisation, oxy...

Goldstein and Shaw (2002) developed Bayes linear kinematics describing how a Bayes linear analysis should be carried out when we only receive partial information which changes our beliefs about a vector of random quantities in some generalised way. In this paper we explore principles of local computation for Bayes linear kinematic updates. This theory is illustrated by the Bayes linear Bayes mo...

We compare two models describing the dynamics of phase separation of incompressible mixtures: A local model proposed by de Gennes, and a nonlocal model proposed by E and Pally-Muhoray. We nd that in the interfacial regime, the local model gives rise to interfacial motion via the Mullins-Sekerka law for moderate quenches, and surface diiusion for deep quenches. The interface dynamics is slowed d...
