Statistical methods for estimating doubling time in in vitro cell growth

Summary Doubling time has been widely used to represent the growth pattern of cells. A traditional method for finding the doubling time is to apply gray-scaled cells, where the logarithmic transformed scale is used. As an alternative statistical method, the log-linear model was recently proposed, for which actual cell numbers are used instead of the transformed gray-scaled cells. In this paper, I extend the log-linear model and propose the extended log-linear model. This model is designed for extra-Poisson variation, where the log-linear model produces the less appropriate estimate of the doubling time. Moreover, I compare statistical properties of the gray-scaled method, the log-linear model, and the extended log-linear model. For this purpose, I perform a Monte Carlo simulation study with three data-generating models: the additive error model, the multiplicative error model, and the overdispersed Poisson model. From the simulation study, I found that the gray-scaled method highly depends on the normality assumption of the gray-scaled cells; hence, this method is appropriate when the error model is multiplicative with the log-normally distributed errors. However, it is less efficient for other types of error distributions, especially when the error model is additive or the errors follow the Poisson distribution. The estimated standard error for the doubling time is not accurate in this case. The log-linear model was found to be efficient when the errors follow the Poisson distribution or nearly Poisson distribution. The efficiency of the log-linear model was decreased accordingly as the overdispersion increased, compared to the extended log-linear model. When the error model is additive or multiplicative with Gamma-distributed errors, the log-linear model is more efficient than the gray-scaled method. The extended log-linear model performs well overall for all three data-generating models. The loss of efficiency of the extended log-linear model is observed only when the error model is multiplicative with log-normally distributed errors, where the gray-scaled method is appropriate. However, the extended log-linear model is more efficient than the log-linear model in this case.     

Decompositions for 2-Ratios-Parameter Symmetry Model in Square Contingency Tables with Ordered Categoriesat

For square contingency tables with ordered categories, Agresti (1983) considered the linear diagonals-parameter symmetry model. An extended model including that model is proposed which has only one more parameter than that model. The model also includes the conditional symmetry model considered by McCullagh (1978). Decompositions for the proposed model and Agresti's model are given.     

Reliability Analysis of the Groundwater Conceptual Model

The hydrologic model is the foundation of water resource management and planning. Conceptual model is the essential component of groundwater model. Due to limited understanding of natural hydrogeological conditions, the conceptual model is always constructed incompletely. Therefore, the uncertainty in the model's output is evitable when natural groundwater field is simulated by a single groundwater model. A synthetic groundwater model is built and regarded as the true model, and three alternative conceptual models are constructed by considering incomplete hydrogeological conditions. The outputs (groundwater budget terms from boundary conditions) of these groundwater models are analyzed statistically. The results show that when the conceptual model is closer to the true hydrogeological conditions, the distributions of outputs of the groundwater model are more concentrated on the true outputs. Therefore, the more reliable the structure of the conceptual model is, the more reliable the output of the groundwater model is. Moreover, the uncertainty caused by the conceptual model cannot be compensated by parameter uncertainty.

Butler-Volmer-Monod model for describing bio-anode polarization curves

A kinetic model of the bio-anode was developed based on a simple representation of the underlying biochemical conversions as described by enzyme kinetics, and electron transfer reactions as described by the Butler-Volmer electron transfer kinetics. This Butler-Volmer-Monod model was well able to describe the measured bio-anode polarization curves. The Butler-Volmer-Monod model was compared to the Nernst-Monod model described the experimental data significantly better. The Butler-Volmer-Monod model has the Nernst-Monod model as its full electrochemically reversible limit. Contrary to the Nernst-Monod model, the Butler-Volmer-Monod model predicts zero current at equilibrium potential. Besides, the Butler-Volmer-Monod model predicts that the apparent Monod constant is dependent on anode potential, which was supported by experimental results.

Analysis of several biomechanical models for the simulation of lamb liver behaviour using similarity coefficients from medical image

In this study, six biomechanical models for simulating lamb liver behaviour are presented. They are validated using similarity coefficients from Medical Image on reconstructed volumes from computerised tomography images. In particular, the Jaccard and Hausdorff coefficients are used. Loads of 20 and 40 g are applied to the livers and their deformation is simulated by means of the finite element method. The models used are a linear elastic model, a neo-Hookean model, a Mooney–Rivlin model, an Ogden model, a linear viscoelastic model and a viscohyperelastic model. The model that provided a behaviour that is closest to reality was the viscohyperelastic model, where the hyperelastic part was modelled with an Ogden model.

A comparison of the peri-implant bone stress generated by the preload with screw tightening between ‘bonded’ and ‘contact’ model

A number of finite element analyses (FEAs) for the dental implant were performed without regard for preload and with all interfaces ‘fixed-bonded’. The purpose of this study was comparing the stress distributions between the conventional FEA model with all contacting interfaces ‘fixed-bonded’ (bonded model) and the model with the interfaces of the components in ‘contact’ with friction simulated as a preloaded implant (contact model). We further verified the accuracy of the result of the FEA using model experiment. In the contact model, the stress was more widely distributed than in the bonded model. From the model study, the preload induced by screw tightening generated strain at the peri-implant bone, even before the application of external force. As a result, the bonded model could not reproduce the mechanical phenomena, whereas the contact model is considered to be appropriate for analysing mechanical problems.     

A Novel Optimal Load Distribution Algorithm for Divisible Loads

A new model for divisible load problem is introduced. Its characteristics are analyzed. Optimal load distribution algorithms on the new model are presented for the tree-network and linear network. Applications that fit our model are briefly described. We show that our model outperforms the existing model such as Cheng–Robertazzi model. We show that the linear model is equivalent to a single-level tree network if the intermediate processors do not follow the store-and-forward communication model, but they follow the store-and-bypass model. This paper introduces the concept of store-and-bypass for divisible load theory.

The objective of this study is to develop a mathematical model for simulating the thermal physiological responses of clothed infants. By modifying and integrating Gagge's two-node model and Stolwijk's multi-node model, and coupled with the model of dynamic couple heat and moisture transfer in functional clothing, a new seven-node thermoregulation model for closed infants was developed. A series of preliminary numerical test were carried out for naked and clothed infant. The prediction of the new model was compared with the published data, the comparison results demonstrate that the model has good potential predictability.     

New modified Square Root and Schoolfield models for predicting bacterial growth rate as a function of temperature

Summary A new modified Square Root model and two new modified Schoolfield models were evaluated for their ability to predict the growth rate ofYersinia enterocolitica as a function of temperature. The new Square Root model fits the data better than both the original Square Root model and the Zwietering Square Root model. Both new Schoolfield models, a six-and a four-parameter equation, fit the data better than the original Schoolfield model. The new four-parameter Schoolfield model was developed by removing the term describing low temperature inactivation from the new six-parameter Schoolfield model. Inclusion of the two extra parameters in the new six-parameter Schoolfield model (F=318) did not significantly improve the fit compared to the new fourparameter Schoolfield model (F=488).     

Structured modeling of recombinant protein production in batch and fed-batch culture of baculovirus-infected insect cells

The infection of insect cells with baculovirus was described in a mathematical model as a part of the structured dynamic model describing whole animal cell metabolism. The model presented here is capable of simulating cell population dynamics, the concentrations of extracellular and intracellularviral components, and the heterologous product titers. The model describes the whole processes of viral infection and theeffect of the infection on the host cell metabolism. Dynamic simulation of the model in batch and fed-batch mode gave goodagreement between model predictions and experimental data. Optimum conditions for insect cell culture and viral infectionin batch and fed-batch culture were studied using the model.     

The influence of model parameters on model validation

The study examined the sensitivity of two musculoskeletal models to the parameters describing each model. Two different models were examined: a phenomenological model of human jumping with parameters based on live subject data, and the second a model of the First Dorsal Interosseous with parameters based on cadaveric measurements. Both models were sensitive to the model parameters, with the use of mean group data not producing model outputs reflective of either the performance of any group member or the mean group performance. These results highlight the value of subject specific model parameters, and the problems associated with model validation.     

Frequent and occasional species and the shape of relative-abundance distributions

Recently, three different models have been proposed to explain the distribution of abundances in natural communities: the self‐similarity model; the zero‐sum ecological drift model; and the occasional–frequent species model of Magurran and Henderson. Here we study patterns of relative abundance in a large community of forest Hymenoptera and show that it is indeed possible to divide the community into a group of frequent species and a group of occasional species. In accordance with the third model, frequent species followed a lognormal distribution. Relative abundances of the occasional species could be described by the self‐similarity model, but did not follow a log‐series as proposed by the occasional–frequent model. The zero‐sum ecological drift model makes no explicit predictions about frequent and occasional species but the abundance distributions of the hymenopteran species did not show the excess of rare species predicted by this model. Separate fits of this model to the frequent and to the occasional species were worse than the respective fits of the lognormal and the self‐similarity model.     

A nonparametric mixture model for cure rate estimation

Nonparametric methods have attracted less attention than their parametric counterparts for cure rate analysis. In this paper, we study a general nonparametric mixture model. The proportional hazards assumption is employed in modeling the effect of covariates on the failure time of patients who are not cured. The EM algorithm, the marginal likelihood approach, and multiple imputations are employed to estimate parameters of interest in the model. This model extends models and improves estimation methods proposed by other researchers. It also extends Cox's proportional hazards regression model by allowing a proportion of event-free patients and investigating covariate effects on that proportion. The model and its estimation method are investigated by simulations. An application to breast cancer data, including comparisons with previous analyses using a parametric model and an existing nonparametric model by other researchers, confirms the conclusions from the parametric model but not those from the existing nonparametric model.     

森林生物量估算中模型不确定性分析

单木生物量估算是区域森林生物量估算的基础。量化单木生物量模型中各种不确定性来源,分析各不确定性来源对森林生物量估算的影响,可为提高森林生物量估算精度提供理论依据。基于52株杉木地上部分生物量实测数据,建立杉木单木地上部分生物量一元与二元模型。在两种模型形式下,根据临安市2009年森林资源连续清查数据中杉木实测数据,分析单木生物量模型中所包含的2种不确定性,即模型参数不确定性和模型残差变异引起的不确定性。最后利用误差传播定律计算单木生物量模型总不确定性。结果表明,基于一元生物量模型的临安市杉木生物量估计均值为6.94 Mg/hm~2,由一元模型残差变异引起的生物量不确定性约为11.1%,模型参数误差引起的生物量不确定性约为14.4%,一元生物量模型估算合成不确定性为18.18%。基于二元生物量模型的临安市杉木生物量估计均值为7.71 Mg/hm~2,模型残差变异引起的不确定性约为7.0%,模型参数误差引起的不确定性约为8.53%,二元生物量模型估算合成不确定性为11.03%。研究表明模型参数不确定性随建模样本的增加逐渐降低,当建模样本由30增加到40再增加到52时,一元生物量模型模型参数不确定性分别为20.26%、16.19%、14.4%,二元生物量模型分别为13.09%、9.4%、8.53%。此外,建模样本的增加对残差变异不确定性也有一定影响,当建模样本由30增加到42再增加到48时,一元模型残差变异不确定性分别为15.2%,12.3%和11.7%;二元模型残差变异不确定性分别为13.3%,9.4%和8.3%。在2种不确定性来源中模型参数不确定性对估计结果影响最大,其次为模型残差变异。由于模型残差变异、参数不确定性与建模样本有关,因此可以通过增加建模样本来减小模型参数不确定性。二元生物量模型总的不确定性要低于一元生物量模型。
