Ecological networks are quantitative, graph-based descriptions of ecosystems, consisting of compartments (trophospecies and nutrient pools) that exchange fluxes of nutrients or energy.
Ecosystems can be abstracted into models consisting of compartments containing matter or energy, transactional flows of matter or energy between compartments, inputs into the system, and outputs from the system.
As mentioned previously, PBPK models consist of compartments corresponding to different tissues in the body, connected by the circulating blood system.
This network consists of several compartments, in which localized reactions may be activated in the corresponding compartments, and non-localized reactions are duplicated to be present in all compartments.
The target model (Scheme 1) consists of two compartments (Red and Bulk) for both particles, and an additional compartment for Full PSI LHCI, representing the ensemble of Lhca2 and Lhca9 (Lhca9/a9).
The chamber consists of two compartments, separated by a Transwell® membrane, which isolates a NO recording electrode located in the upper compartment from flow effects.
Like other long-distance balloons, the billowing envelope of the 180-foot-high Spirit of Freedom consists of two compartments -- one containing 550,000 cubic feet of helium, which provided most of the lift, and one containing 100,000 cubic feet of air.
