Nomograph, also called Alignment Chart, calculating chart with scales that contain values of three or more mathematical variables, widely used in engineering, industry, and the natural and physical sciences.
The indices, parameters and decision variables used to formulate the mathematical model are introduced below.
We discuss the use of mathematical modeling to help identify appropriate disease monitoring indicators, i.e. variables used to measure progress towards the goals, objectives and targets of public health programs [15].
The iterative optimization procedure consists of calculation of nonlinear normal modes, solving an adjoint equation system for sensitivity analysis and an update of design variables using a mathematical programming tool.
An existing mapping method [ 26, 27] was used to highlight through a graph the most important links among variables, using a mathematical approach based on an artificial adaptive system called Auto Contractive Map-Auto-CM algorithm.
A new mapping method was used to find out connectivity traces among variables, using a mathematical approach based on an artificial adaptive system, to define the strength of the associations of each variable with all the others in any dataset (the Auto Contractive Map-AutoCM algorithm- Copyright Semeion Research Centre).
Various mathematical models have been formulated to evaluate important process variables using a multidisciplinary approach.
In the third step mathematical relationships are developed between the input and output variables, using the database that has been generated in the previous step.
For example, Harry, a student in an honors section of OrgBio, used mathematical variables primarily as a referent to underlying physical quantities and concepts ("it talks about…," "in order to maximize this whole thing…") when discussing the diffusion equation.
