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. 相似文献

A substantial number of rat models have been used to research subarachnoid hemorrhage-induced cerebral vasospasm; however, controversy exists regarding which method of selection is appropriate for this species. This study was designed to provide extensive information about the three most popular subarachnoid hemorrhage rat models: the endovascular puncture model, the single-hemorrhage model, and the double-hemorrhage model. In this study, the basilar artery and posterior communicating artery were chosen for histopathological examination and morphometric analysis. Both the endovascular puncture model and single-hemorrhage model developed significant degrees of vasospasm, which were less severe when compared with the double-hemorrhage model. The endovascular puncture model and double-hemorrhage model both developed more vasospasms in the posterior communicating artery than in the basilar artery. The endovascular puncture model has a markedly high mortality rate and high variability in bleeding volume. Overall, the present study showed that the double-hemorrhage model in rats is a more suitable tool with which to investigate mechanism and therapeutic approaches because it accurately correlates with the time courses for vasospasm in humans. 相似文献

This study investigated the ability of the linear biphasic poroelastic (BPE) model and the linear biphasic poroviscoelastic (BPVE) model to simultaneously predict the reaction force and lateral displacement exhibited by articular cartilage during stress relaxation in unconfined compression. Both models consider articular cartilage as a binary mixture of a porous incompressible solid phase and an incompressible inviscid fluid phase. The BPE model assumes the solid phase is elastic, while the BPVE model assumes the solid phase is viscoelastic. In addition, the efficacy of two additional models was also examined, i.e., the transversely isotropic BPE (TIBPE) model, which considers transverse isotropy of the solid matrix within the framework of the linear BPE model assumptions, and a linear viscoelastic solid (LVE) model, which assumes that the viscoelastic behavior of articular cartilage is solely governed by the intrinsic viscoelastic nature of the solid matrix, independent of the interstitial fluid flow. It was found that the BPE model was able to accurately account for the lateral displacement, but unable to fit the short-term reaction force data of all specimens tested. The TIBPE model was able to account for either the lateral displacement or the reaction force, but not both simultaneously. The LVE model was able to account for the complete reaction force, but unable to fit the lateral displacement measured experimentally. The BPVE model was able to completely account for both lateral displacement and reaction force for all specimens tested. These results suggest that both the fluid flow-dependent and fluid flow-independent viscoelastic mechanisms are essential for a complete simulation of the viscoelastic phenomena of articular cartilage. 相似文献

A model of a minimal cell would be a valuable tool in identifying the organizing principles that relate the static sequence information of the genome to the dynamic functioning of the living cell. Our approach for developing a minimal cell model is to first generalize an existing model of Escherichia coli by expressing reaction rates as ratios to a set of reference parameters. This generalized model is a prototype minimal cell model that will be developed by adding detail to explicitly include each chemical species. We tested the concept of a generalized model by testing the effect of scaling all enzyme-catalyzed reactions in the E. coli model. The scaling has little effect on cellular function for a wide range of kinetic ratios, where the kinetic ratio is defined as the rate of all enzyme-catalyzed reactions in a given model relative to those in the E. coli model. 相似文献

This paper presents the MBO model for the perceived intensity of odour mixtures. This model is based on an equation previously reported by our team, intended to model the whole stimulus-response intensity curve of pure odorous compounds. The MBO model was applied to a set of published data, and compared to other published models. The results show a high modelling efficiency of the MBO model compared to other proposed equations, especially for binary mixtures exhibiting significant asymmetry of intensity for different ratios of the two components. Furthermore, the MBO model includes parameters specific to the respective effects of each component in the mixture, which may help to clarify the masking and synergy effects that are often sought in odour mixtures. 相似文献

A model for cometabolism is verified experimentally for a defined methanotrophic mixed culture. The model includes the effects of cell growth, endogenous cell decay, product toxicity, and competitive inhibition with the assumption that cometabolic transformation rates are enhanced by reducing power obtained from oxidation of growth substrates. A theoretical transformation yield is used to quantify the enhancement resulting from growth substrate oxidation. A systematic method for evaluating model parameters independently is described. The applicability of the model is evaluated by comparing experimental data for methanotrophic cometabolism of TCE with model predictions from independently measured model parameters. Propagation of errors is used to quantify errors in parameter estimates and in the final prediction. The model successfully predicts TCE transformation and methane utilization for a wide range of concentrations of TCE (0.5 to 9 mg/L) and methane (0.05 to 6 mg/L). (c) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Electroporation, in which electric pulses create transient pores in the cell membrane, is becoming an important technique for gene therapy. To enable entry of supercoiled DNA into cells, the pores should have sufficiently large radii (>10 nm), remain open long enough for the DNA chain to enter the cell (milliseconds), and should not cause membrane rupture. This study presents a model that can predict such macropores. The distinctive features of this model are the coupling of individual pores through membrane tension and the electrical force on the pores, which is applicable to pores of any size. The model is used to explore the process of pore creation and evolution and to determine the number and size of pores as a function of the pulse magnitude and duration. Next, our electroporation model is combined with a heuristic model of DNA uptake and used to predict the dependence of DNA uptake on pulsing parameters. Finally, the model is used to examine the mechanism of a two-pulse protocol, which was proposed specifically for gene delivery. The comparison between experimental results and the model suggests that this model is well-suited for the investigation of electroporation-mediated DNA delivery. 相似文献

This paper presents a mixed model of inheritance with a finite number of polygenic loci. This model leads to a likelihood that can be calculated using efficient algorithms developed for oligogenic models. For comparison, likelihood profiles were obtained for the finite polygenic mixed model, the usual mixed model, with exact and approximate calculations, and for a class D regressive model. The profiles for the finite polygenic mixed model were closest to the profiles for the usual mixed model with exact calculations. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the practicability of the ‘topographic components model’ proposed by Möcks1 for the spatio-temporal characterization of multi-channel evoked potentials (EP), and to present a complete and detailed algorithm for this method of analysis. Details of the algorithm are discussed along with various computational issues, especially with regard to contrasts with traditional principal components analysis. The algorithm is applied to multi-channel pattern-shift visual EP data obtained from normal subjects, and the model is demonstrated to provide data reduction of 71% with a relative mean-squared error (MSE) of 2%. Obvious features of the data are seen to be reflected in the estimated model parameters, lending support to the appropriateness of the model. The results also demonstrate that although the model parameters are uniquely identifiable in theory1, care must be taken when fitting the model to insure that the MSE is not so insensitive to perturbations in the model parameters that they are rendered ‘non-unique’ for all practical purposes. The proper selection of model order is shown to play a critical role in avoiding this problem. Finally, a theoretical analysis is presented which evaluates the relationship between parameter ‘uniqueness’, model order, and the non-orthogonality of the model components. 相似文献

Presented in the article is a method for constructing a graphical model of an FMS by using a new modeling tool called JR-net (Job Resource relation-net). JR-net is an object-oriented graphical tool for modeling automated manufacturing systems (AMSs), such as FMSs, FASs, and AS/RSs. As with the object-oriented modeling paradigm of Rumbaugh et al. (1991), the JR-net modeling framework supports the three stages of models: static layout model (object model); job flow model (functional model); and supervisory control model (dynamic model). In this article, the existing JR-net structure (Park 1992, Han et al., 1995) is extended further to make it a graphical tool for FMS modeling. Using the extended JR-net, a step-by-step procedure for constructing a graphical model of FMSs is presented. Also addressed are issues of classifying FMSs in terms of their generic functions and of utilizing the JR-net model of FMSs. 相似文献

Established invasive species, such as European buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica), pose a challenging problem for land managers who must decide when and how to control them. In order to make an informed decision land managers need to be able to predict the spread of these invasive species at local scales and without the need for excessive sampling. Our approach uses a hybrid model, combining habitat suitability and the presence of the invasive in neighbouring cells to predict the probability of a cell being invaded over time. A generalized linear mixed-effects model was used to create a habitat suitability model and a spread model. The habitat suitability model predicts the presence of buckthorn based on environmental characteristics and the results are used in the spread model. The spread model indicates that the invasion of buckthorn is influenced by the suitability of habitat and the presence of buckthorn in neighbouring cells. The success of the spread model suggests that this approach can be used to create a spatiotemporally explicit model with limited sampling effort. 相似文献

We recently presented, in a qualitative manner, a cross-bridge model of muscle contraction which was based on a biochemical kinetic cycle for the actomyosin ATPase activity. This cross-bridge model consisted of two cross-bridge states detached from actin and two cross-bridge states attached to actin. In the present paper, we attempt to fit this model quantitatively to both biochemical and physiological data. We find that the resulting complete cross-bridge model is able to account reasonably well for both the isometric transient data observed when a muscle is subjected to a sudden change in length and for the relationship between the velocity of muscle contraction in vivo and the actomyosin ATPase activity in vitro. This model also illustrates the interrelationship between biochemical and physiological data necessary for the development of a complete cross-bridge model of muscle contraction. 相似文献

We analyse a mathematical model of the population dynamics among a mimic, a corresponding model, and their common predator populations. Predator changes its search-and-attack probability by forming and losing its search image. It cannot distinguish the mimic from the model. Once a predator eats a model individual, it comes to omit both the model and the mimic species from its diet menu. If a predator eats a mimic individual, it comes to increase the search-and-attack probability for both model and mimic. The predator may lose the repulsive/attractive search image with a probability per day. By analysing our model, we can derive the mathematical condition for the persistence of model and mimic populations, and then get the result that the condition for the persistence of model population does not depend on the mimic population size, while the condition for the persistence of mimic population does depend the predator's memory of search image. 相似文献
