a mathematical model was developed to predict the effects of wind speed, light, ph, temperature, dissolved carbon dioxide and chemical oxygen demand (cod) on dissolved oxygen (do) in fish ponds. the effects of organic feeds, aeration and fish activity were added to the model developed by kayombo et al. for waste stabilization ponds (ecological modeling 127(2000): 21-31) to reflect the situat...

the main purpose of present paper is the modeling of onion drying process and investigation of experimental data of onion drying obtained with using a hot air dryer. therefore some empirical and regression models have been considered to fit experimental data. the investigation of the experimental data shows the onion drying happens only in falling rate zone. the experimental data have been fitt...

Mathematical modeling plays an important and often indispensable role in synthetic biology because it serves as a crucial link between the concept and realization of a biological circuit. We review mathematical modeling concepts and methodologies as relevant to synthetic biology, including assumptions that underlie a model, types of modeling frameworks (deterministic and stochastic), and the im...

Although not a traditional experimental "method," mathematical modeling can provide a powerful approach for investigating complex cell signaling networks, such as those that regulate the eukaryotic cell division cycle. We describe here one modeling approach based on expressing the rates of biochemical reactions in terms of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. We discuss the steps and chal...

mathematical models can simulate the growth and proliferation of cells in the interaction with healthy cells, the immune system and measure the toxicity of drug and its effects on healthy tissue pay. one of the main goals of modeling the structure and growth of cancer cells is to find a control model suitable for administration among patients. in this study, a new mathematical model is designed...

in this paper, a mathematical modeling is developed for plastic analysis of planar frames. to this end, the researcher tried to design an optimization model in linear format in order to solve large scale samples. the computational result of cpu time requirement is shown for different samples to prove efficiency of this method for large scale models. the fundamental concept of this model is obta...

PURPOSE To discuss the role of mathematical modeling in studying ocular hemodynamics, with a focus on glaucoma. METHODS We reviewed recent literature on glaucoma, ocular blood flow, autoregulation, the optic nerve head, and the use of mathematical modeling in ocular circulation. RESULTS Many studies suggest that alterations in ocular hemodynamics play a significant role in the development, ...

the objective of this research was to study the drying characteristics of powderedagricultural residues. drying experiments of wheat straw (triticum aestivum) wereconducted at four temperatures of 50, 60, 70, and 80°c by a thermogravimetric analyzer.drying temperature had a significant effect on the moisture change and drying time.there was no constant drying rate period, but a short rising rat...

Growth patterns generated by filamentous organisms (e.g. actinomycetes and fungi) involve spatial and temporal dynamics at different length scales. Several mathematical models have been proposed in the last thirty years to address these specific dynamics. Phenomenological macroscopic models are able to reproduce the temporal dynamics of colony-related quantities (e.g. colony growth rate) but do...
