When branched dendritic fibres are modelled by passive cable equations, the voltage response across the branching structure for any form of applied current can be calculated via a convolution operation, as long as the Green's function for the given dendritic tree is found.
The passive element is modeled by splines, and the dynamical modeling is achieved by the appropriate extension of Geometrically Exact Dynamic Splines (GEDS).
This approach was recently tested for HCV by Akazawa et al. Inactivated cell culture-derived HCV virions are capable of inducing cross-genotype neutralizing antibodies and confer protection against HCV infection in a mouse model by passive immunization with vaccinees' serum.
However, these antibodies do not meet the classical criteria for an autoantibody-mediated autoimmune disease [ 12- 15], i.e., induction of the disease in animal models by passive transfer of the disease-specific antibodies or via the application of the target antigen and the recovery from the disease due to a reduction of the titers of the disease-specific antibodies [ 3, 16- 19].
Chemical reactions were modeled by the law of mass action and passive drug transport by Fick's first law of diffusion.
These methods are roughly categorized under four headings: models inspired by the concept of a CPG (Central Pattern Generator), methods based on the principles of control engineering, predictive gait simulation using optimisation, and models inspired by passive walking theory.
This model, induced by passive immunization of mice with anti-type II collagen antibodies, allows the study of the effector phase of arthritis, where PARP-1 might be involved.
We assume that the dendrites are not purely passive (i.e. modelled by the 'RC' circuit), but are resonant (i.e. modelled by the 'LRC' circuit shown in Fig. 1b).
Grundy explains that NFC had been traditionally modeled around passive tags – that is, a combination of a reader and a tag that responds when excited, e.g. by waving your device over the tag or tapping it.
