Abstract:
The haematopoietic system has a highly regulated and complex structure in which cells are organized to successfully create and maintain new blood cells. It is known that feedback regulation is crucial to tightly control this system, but the specific mechanisms by which control is exerted are not completely understood. In this work, we aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms in haematopoiesis by conducting perturbation experiments, where animal subjects are exposed to an external agent in order to observe the system response and evolution.

The oral glucose tolerance test and meal tolerance test are common clinical tests of the glucose-insulin system. Several mathematical models have been suggested as means to extract information about β-cell function from data from oral tolerance tests. Any such model needs to be fairly simple but should at the same time be linked to the underlying biology of the insulin-secreting β-cells. The scope of the present work is to present a way to make such a connection using a recent model describing intracellular mechanisms.

The main mechanisms that control the organization of multicellular tissues are still largely open. A commonly used tool to study basic control mechanisms are in vitro experiments in which the growth conditions can be widely varied. However, even in vitro experiments are not free from unknown or uncontrolled influences. One reason why mathematical models become more and more a popular complementary tool to experiments is that they permit the study of hypotheses free from unknown or uncontrolled influences that occur in experiments.

Cellular morphogenesis is governed by the prepattern based on the symmetry-breaking emergence of dense protein clusters. Thus, a cluster of active GTPase Cdc42 marks the site of nascent bud in the baker’s yeast. An important biological question is which mechanisms control the number of pattern maxima (spots) and, thus, the number of nascent cellular structures. Distinct flavors of theoretical models seem to suggest different predictions. While the classical Turing scenario leads to an array of stably coexisting multiple structures, mass-conserved models predict formation of a single spot that

Abstract:
Early theories of depression were centered on the monoamines, but more recent work has focused on the amino acid neurotransmitters, glutamate and GABA. Imbalances of glutamate and GABA transmission in key cortical and limbic structures are thought to contribute to disruption of brain circuits that control emotion and mood. These imbalances, together with stress activated pathways that regulate neurotrophic factors and inflammatory cytokines could contribute to atrophy and loss of neurons observed in depressed patients and rodent stress models. The significance of synaptic connections in depression is highlighted by new studies demonstrating that a rapid acting, highly efficacious antidepressant agent increases synaptogenesis, paving the way for a new generation of medications for the treatment of depression.

Today’s and tomorrow’s smart grid systems are made more efficient, cleaner, and reliable by “smart” control mechanisms and decision models that deliver information to consumers so they can better manage energy resources. The rapidly changing needs and opportunities of today’s electric grid market require unprecedented levels of interoperability to integrate diverse information systems to share knowledge and collaborate among sub-devices or sub-systems in the grid. This book chapter focuses on optimal mathematical models for resource allocation. A series of mathematical models is presented in this book chapter for solving large-scale energy allocation problems with partially observable states, utility functions, and constrained action is introduced. The authors’ techniques use a Linear Programming (LP) approach to determine resource allocations among a set of fuzzy rules that allocates Distributed Energy Resources (DER’s) or power sources/sinks and uses to determine improving resource management.

Abstract:
The field of tumour immunology has gradually reached a consensus that the immune system and tumours sustain a rich set of dynamic interactions starting early during carcinogenesis. Incipient tumours may be eliminated by the immune system via adaptive immune responses mediated mainly by cytotoxic CD8 T lymphocytes, which recognize short antigenic peptides presented by polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Advanced tumours, however, are generally highly resistant to the main effectors of the immune system. Moreover, the molecular and cellular composition of the tumour microenvironment is strongly immunosuppressive. Recent research efforts have focused on the dissection of the mechanisms operating at the tumour sites, which neutralize antitumour immunity in both experimental models and directly in cancer patients. All along this basic research, translational scientists have tried to harness the immune system to design novel therapeutic modalities that have collectively been coined as cancer immunotherapy. The overall goal has been to increase the numbers of tumour antigen-specific T cells in cancer patients via either vaccination or adoptive transfer of large numbers of immune cells. It is safe to state that cancer immunotherapy will provide a revolution in the treatment of cancer and the future may bear the prospect of effective tumour control in many cancer types, and that immunotherapy will be one of the main components of effective therapeutic options.

Labour is the physiological process by which the products of conception are passed from the uterus to the outside world. Timely onset is the key determinant of perinatal outcome. Although all viviparous animals share this process, the molecular and cellular mechanisms appear to differ in humans. Most animal models have demonstrated that the fetus is in control of the timing of labour. However, the parturition cascade in humans appears to be autocrine/paracrine in nature, thus precluding direct investigation. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge on the biological mechanisms responsible for the onset of labour at term in the human, as well as reviewing the limited treatment options when these mechanisms falter.

Abstract:
To study the dynamics of mechanical systems and to define the construction parameters and control laws, it is necessary to have computational models accurately describing properties of real mechanisms. From a mathematical point of view, the computational models of mechanical systems are actually the systems of differential equations. These models can contain equations that also describe non-mechanical phenomena. In this chapter, the problems of stability and asymptotic stability conditions for the motion of mechanical systems with holonomic and non-holonomic constraints are under consideration. Stability analysis for the systems of differential equations is given in term of the second Lyapunov's method. With the use of the set-theoretic approach, the necessary and sufficient conditions for stability and asymptotic stability of zero solution of the considered system are formulated. The proposed approaches can be used to study the stability of the motion for robot manipulators, transport, space, and socio-economic systems.

Abstract:
Network security poses a challenge to wireless sensor networks (WSNs) achieving its true potential. It is hard to tackle due to operational constraints of networks. Worms have become an emergent threat to the wireless networks. The spread of worms in the network is epidemic in nature. This article proposes a novel mathematical model with pre-vaccination and quarantine for study of worm propagation dynamics in WSN that is based on epidemic model. Further, the authors have devised an expression to determine threshold communication radius and node density. The objective of this proposed model is to study the propagation dynamics of worms in wireless sensor networks. Through the model, investigate the stability condition of networks in the presence of malicious codes. The experimental studies indicate that the proposed model outperforms in terms of security and energy efficiency over other existing models. It is a leap toward worm-controlling mechanisms in sensor networks. Finally, the control mechanism and performance of the proposed model is validated through extensive simulation results.

Full text
Abstract:
Dislocations first appeared as an abstract mathematical concept. In the late 19th century, Italian mathematician Vito Volterra examined mathematical properties of singularities produced by cutting and shifting matter in a continuous solid body [1]. As happened to some other mathematical concepts, dislocations could have remained a curious product of mathematical imagination known only to a handful of devoted mathematicians. In 1934, however, three scientists, Taylor, Polanyi and Orowan, independently proposed that dislocations may be responsible for a crystal’s ability to deform plastically [2, 3, 4]. While successfully explaining most of the puzzling phenomenology of crystal plasticity, crystal dislocations still remained mostly a beautiful hypothesis until the late 1950s when first sightings of them were reported in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments [5]. Since then, the ubiquity and importance of dislocations for crystal plasticity and numerous other aspects of material behavior have been regarded as firmly established as, say, the role of DNA in promulgating life. Dislocations define a great many properties of crystalline materials. In addition to a crystal’s ability to yield and flow under stress, dislocations also control other mechanical behaviors such as creep and fatigue, ductility and brittleness, indentation hardness and friction. Furthermore, dislocations affect how a crystal grows from solution, how a nuclear reactor wall material is damaged by radiation, and whether or not a semiconductor chip in an electronic device will function properly. It can take an entire book just to describe the various roles dislocations play in materials behavior. However, the focus of this book is on the various computational models that have been developed to study dislocations. This chapter is an introduction to the basics of dislocations, setting the stage for subsequent discussions of computational models and associated numerical issues. Like any other crystal defect, dislocations are best defined with respect to the host crystal structure. We begin our discussion by presenting in Section 1.1 the basic elements and common terminology used to describe perfect crystal structures. Section 1.2 introduces the dislocation as a defect in the crystal lattice and discusses some of its essential properties. Section 1.3 discusses forces on dislocations and atomistic mechanisms for dislocation motion.

Millions of people in the world suffer from urinary incontinence and overactive bladder with the major causes for the symptoms being stress, urge, overflow and functional incontinence. For a more effective treatment of these ailments, a detailed understanding of the urinary flow dynamics is required. This challenging task is not easy to achieve due to the complexity of the problem and the lack of tools to study the underlying mechanisms of the urination process. Theoretical models can help find a better solution for the various disorders of the lower urinary tract, including urinary incontinen

Abstract:
Flagella are active, beam-like, sub-cellular organelles that use wavelike oscillations to propel the cell. The mechanisms underlying the coordinated beating of flagella remain incompletely understood despite the fundamental importance of these organelles. The axoneme (the cytoskeletal structure of flagella) consists of microtubule doublets connected by passive and active elements. The motor protein dynein is known to drive active bending, but dynein activity must be regulated to generate oscillatory, propulsive waveforms. Mathematical models of flagella motion generate quantitative predictions

Abstract:
In the last two decades robotic rehabilitation research provided significant insight regarding the human-robot interaction, helped understand the process by which the impaired nervous system is retrained to better control movements, and led to the development of a number of mathematical and neurophysiological models that describe both the human motion and the robot control. The human-machine interaction in this research is typically achieved through robotic devices that are based on open kinematic chains. These devices have multiple degrees of freedom (DOF), sophisticated computer control, act
